The present study consolidates and builds upon the findings and conclusions reached so far, shifting the focus from the strategic level (standards, KPIs, centralized reporting, the role of subcontractors, and digital monitoring) to a more detailed methodological and operational layer.
In the previous publication, it was shown that during the rapid growth of the offshore wind industry, frequency indicators (TRIR/LTIF) have remained relatively stable, while the absolute number of incidents follows exposure measured in total worked man-hours. This places the necessary needs reallocating working hours from high-risk to lower-risk processes, implementing real-time control, and harmonizing reporting criteria — including for subcontractors, for whom an ISM/SMC-like discipline and ISO frameworks (ISO 45001/9001/14001) were recommended to close the “safety chain.”
