This report represents a continuation and final synthesis of the report “Analysis of Safety and Risks in Offshore Operations.”
It integrates verified data (GWEC, G+ / Energy Institute, GWO, IEA) and the results of regression and time-series analysis (2015–2024), oriented toward practical future application. The text constitutes a secondary (descriptive-analytical) review of publicly available data from GWEC, the Energy Institute / G+, GWO, and the IEA; it does not claim to be a primary empirical study.
The report supplements the initial study with a quantitative verification of key dependencies.
No statistically significant linear relationship is found between the annually installed offshore GW capacity and the number of recordable injuries. A much stronger positive correlation is observed between the number of injuries and total worked hours (R² ≈ 0.71)[1]. This confirms that risk management should focus on exposure (work hours) and high-risk processes (TR/CTV/SOV transfers, cargo-handling operations, etc.).
Graphs, tables, interpretations, and recommendations for unified KPIs and digital monitoring are presented.
[1] Model: OLS of annual number of recordable injuries (G+) versus worked hours (G+), 2015–2024.
