The Gwynt y Môr Offshore Wind Farm Offshore Emergency Response Team (ERT) is responsible for the entire offshore site, an area of 80km², located 18km off the North Wales coast. The team aims to provide the same level of emergency response as onshore colleagues, and is highly qualified in providing expert trauma care and rapid response.

The ERT initiative has an impressive safety record; it has inducted 9000 people, and overseen more than 500,000 offshore transfers without any significant incidents.

The announcement was made on the eve of RenewableUK's annual Health and Safety Conference, which takes place today in Birmingham.

Rob Hastings, The Crown Estate's Director of Energy and Infrastructure said:“This award recognises the hard work and commitment of RWE Innogy and all the nominees in securing the wellbeing of their workers. Improving health and safety is crucial to protecting employees, but also in promoting collaboration and best practoce across the offshore wind sector to improve efficiencies by working safely and help reduce costs.”

RenewableUK Director of Health & Safety Chris Streatfeild said:“We had an outstanding shortlist of candidates this year, which shows yet again how seriously health and safety issues are taken by the industry. Each entry had its own merits, and made a real contribution to addressing the often complex risks faced by companies on a day-to-day basis. The winners RWE Innogy and joint runners up Forewind and Wind Towers (Scotland) show the diversity of the health and safety challenges impacting on the onshore and offshore sectors – but more importantly a willingness to share the experiences and lessons learned to a wider audience.”

We created the Renewable Energy Health and Safety Award three years ago in conjunction with RenewableUK to promote the importance of health and safety in the offshore wind sector.
Previous winners include Centrica, E.ON and Technip.
