This document is an adaptation of selected DROPS Reliable securing, Best practice recommendations for the securing of structure and equipment at the worksite content to provide guidance and functional recommendations specifically for the offshore wind industry. This edition focuses on operations and maintenance activities in offshore wind. For future editions it is envisioned to also cover other lifecycle stages of offshore wind, as well as to address design risk assessment, adequate training and supervision to determine the risk of dropped objects and the measures suitable to prevent them.

It is acknowledged that generic DROPS best practice is applicable across all industry sectors; particularly with regard to hazard identification, risk assessment and hierarchy of control. It is recommended that these practices are considered in addition to the guidance presented in this document.
