The emergence of floating offshore wind turbines (FOWT) is raising concerns about the impact on individuals responsible for maintaining these installations. The motion experienced by FOWT is likely to be associated with low-frequency vibrations (<0,5 Hz), which have been linked to physical and cognitive performance degradation. The objective of this scoping exercise is to provide an overview of the implications of floating wind technology on human operators during all phases of the life cycle of the turbine (i.e. commission, operation and decommission) and provide recommendations for potential mitigation strategies and future research directions
