to ensure their installations have, and maintain, sufficient integrity throughout
their lifecycle, for all expected degradation mechanisms, including the impact severe
weather, to ensure appropriate safeguards are in place.</p><p> </p><p>This includes
severe weather arising from named storms which affect UK waters. Additionally, installation
operators are required to have measures in place to mitigate the effects of severe
weather on the safety of operations, by altering activities as necessary to reduce
risks to the workforce.</p><p>The recent storms did not result in any reportable incidents
