In-person Events
O&M/ Health & Safety SummitJanuary 29-31, 2025 | Providence, RI
Registration is open! Oceantic Network is pleased to present the 2025 O&M/ Health & Safety Summit in Providence, RI.
As the support system for the offshore wind industry, operations and maintenance (O&M) and health and safety (HSE) are critical for the successful operation of U.S. projects. With several offshore wind projects in operation and more under construction, we have reached a critical moment for O&M and HSE. What are the industry standards for operations and maintenance? Operational wind farms also require a trained workforce that values safety – how can we ensure that safety remains a high-level priority as the industry moves forward?
