<p>It is a legal duty on all employers within the offshore wind industry to provide
sufficient information, instruction and training to ensure, so far as is reasonably
practicable, the health and safety of people in their employment and others who may
be affected. It is a matter for each individual employer to decide on how that information,
instruction and training is provided, commensurate with the risks. Therefore, HSE
does not approve the industry training standards nor keep records of the numbers trained
under any individual training scheme.</p><p /><p>At inspections and during investigations,
HSE does make thorough inquiries to ensure that workers who go offshore have received
basic safety training prior to going offshore and that this is refreshed on a regular
basis. That basic safety training covers the following topics: Marine Safety; Work
at Height and Escape and Evacuation; First Aid; Fire Awareness; and Manual Handling.
In addition, HSE does make inquiries into ensuring job specific training is provided.</p><p>
