FacebookTwitterEmailLinkedin Speaking exclusively to SAFETY4SEA, Kevin Sligh, Director of the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE), outlines the primary hurdles facing the offshore industry and discusses BSEE’s strategies for addressing them. Central to BSEE’s efforts is the cultivation of a safety-conscious culture and robust risk management practices across all offshore activities. Emphasizing safety goes beyond mere regulatory adherence; it necessitates fostering a pervasive safety mindset across all offshore energy operations, embraced by all stakeholders. In that regard, Kevin Sligh adds that offshore wind industry needs to lead the charge in crafting new standards that prioritize safety and efficiency. Driving collaboration in the development of industry standards will ensure both safety and economic viability as well as United States’ ability to meet their offshore wind goals, he concludes.
