The G+ global offshore wind health and safety organisation has announced SSE Renewables’ David Griffiths (pictured) as its new chair.
Currently head of health, safety and environment at SSE Renewables, Griffiths oversees the safe operational practices for the developer.
As a G+ board director of over five years, he steps up to lead the organisation’s work surrounding the improvement of incident data reporting transparency, good practice guidance and industry workshops.
Griffiths is supported by Lisbeth Norup Frømling from Orsted, who will be vice chair of G+.
Griffiths said: “As chair, I am honoured to continue my role within G+ and steer this collaborative body towards a safer future for offshore wind workers.
“While I am immensely proud of the role G+ plays in facilitating a reduction in industry incident rates, we mustn’t become complacent.
“2024 brings around a new year with new challenges, and I look forward to driving the vital work of G+.”
The G+ Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation comprises thirteen operators, BP, Corio Generation, EDF Renewables, Equinor, Iberdrola, Northland Power, Ocean Winds, Orsted, RWE, Siemens Gamesa, SSE Renewables, TotalEnergies and Vattenfall.
