Question to the Department for Work and Pensions:

To ask the Secretary of State for Work and Pensions, what information her Department holds on the level of compliance with the Immediate Prohibition Notices issued to (a) SSE Renewables and (b) Petrofac Facilities Management on 6 September 2024 by the Health and Safety Executive for breach of provisions in the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations 2015 in relation to the Seagreen offshore wind farm.

Seagreen Wind Energy Limited and Petrofac Facilities Management Limited have both taken appropriate action to comply with the Immediate Prohibition Notices on the provision of trained first aiders and adequate equipment.

Both companies have assured the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that they are also working to remedy the underlying safety management system failings that led to this situation.
