<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 to the risks.</p><p> </p><p>HSE
does not have a statutory responsibility to approve training courses or standards
for the sector. In 2012, HSE created a dedicated team to regulate the sector and that
team has conducted inspections and investigations at offshore wind farms, enforcing
health and safety legislation in accordance with HSE’s policies and procedures. Where
HSE has identified that a duty holder has not provided suitable information, instruction
and training, then it has taken action in accordance with its Enforcement Policy Statement
