HFR Solutions recently supported Ørsted in delivering two Safety Days for its Hornsea 1 and Hornsea 2 offshore wind farm teams. The sessions combined emergency response training with practical drills and realistic scenarios, giving teams the opportunity to test existing procedures, develop skills and build confidence in responding to emergency situations.
Practical emergency response training
The Safety Days involved a range of practical emergency response exercises, including fire evacuation drills. Rather than relying on classroom learning alone, the sessions gave teams the chance to put existing procedures into practice and see how they worked in realistic situations.
This practical approach helps identify useful learning points, strengthen teamwork and improve confidence around emergency procedures and equipment. It also gives organisations an opportunity to test preparedness in a controlled environment before those skills are ever needed for real.
Positive feedback from Ørsted
The feedback following the two Safety Days was extremely positive.
Ashley Hedges, Head of Site at HOW01, said: “The feedback from our teams has been overwhelmingly positive.”
He also praised the professionalism, enthusiasm and commitment demonstrated by the HFR Solutions team throughout the event. With a large number of drills and scenarios taking place, Ashley highlighted the team’s energy, focus and attention to safety standards, as well as the safe and engaging way the sessions were delivered.
He added that events like these make a real difference in strengthening safety culture and reinforcing the collaborative relationship between the teams.
Testing procedures and building confidence
For organisations working in high-risk environments, having emergency procedures in place is only one part of being prepared. Practical emergency response training gives teams the opportunity to test those arrangements, build familiarity with equipment and practise how they would respond when it matters.
The Ørsted Safety Days provided exactly that opportunity. By putting knowledge into practice, the sessions helped identify learning points, strengthen communication and reinforce the importance of effective emergency preparedness.
HFR Solutions delivers practical workplace safety training across a wide range of industries, including offshore wind and renewable energy.
Continuing our work with Ørsted
Jenni Drinkall, Managing Director of HFR Solutions, said:
“Our partnership with Ørsted continues to grow and we are pleased we could deliver these Safety Days to further reinforce their commitment to workplace safety. We are delighted with the feedback from the day and we will continue to work in partnership to support their development.”
