When it comes to arc flash and shock labeling and accolated signage in the offshore wind industry, issues have been identified surrounding regional differences in approach. The framework in this guidance aims to act as recommended good practice for the performance of arc flash hazard control, by defining timelines and responsibilities to produce arc flash analysis data and, following the production of such data, details on the format, style, and application positioning of the required warning labeling. It has been developed in conjunction with major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and developers operating in the US offshore wind industry to generate agreeable guidance around which developers, OEMs and national safety authorities can coalesce to allow each to successfully meet their obligations under the applicable regulatory or legislative frameworks.

The G+ good practice guidelines aim to support electrical safety and the associated arc flash, arc blast and shock risks more effectively in offshore wind energy projects.
