The company building the largest offshore wind farm in the world off the North East coast has turned to a Stockton company for a key part of its work.

Intasite, which provides workplace safety solutions for high hazard industries, has been contracted by Equinor to create health and safety induction content for its Dogger Bank operations and maintenance base at Port of Tyne, South Shields - starring the children of employees.

In a unique element of the partnership, the presentations also include videos featuring the children of Equinor employees -  intended to make the health and safety information more memorable and impactful.

The Dogger Bank Wind Farm currently under construction 130km off the North East coastline, will be complete in 2026. It is being developed in three phases – Dogger Bank A, B and C – located between 130km and 190km from the North East coast. Collectively they will become the world’s largest offshore wind farm.

Each phase will have an installed generation capacity of 1.2GW and combined will be capable of powering up to six million homes annually.

The project's O&M base has been constructed in the Tyne Dock Enterprise Park (TDEP) as part of the Port of Tyne's Tyne Clean Energy Park.

David Collier, Equinor SSU lead for Dogger Bank, said: “At Dogger Bank, health and safety is our top priority. By utilising Intasite's platform, we have successfully incorporated captivating content to the induction process, being able to include the children of our own employees.

"By connecting our team through their loved ones, we achieve not only heightened engagement but also a greater commitment to maintaining a safe and secure work environment.”

Intasite’s collaboration with Dogger Bank Wind Farm adds to its growing presence in the renewable energy sector, following its partnership with SeAH Wind. The company has been actively working with various renewable organisations, including SSE Renewables, EDF Renewables and Hitachi Energy.

By using the Stockton-based business’s platform, companies can streamline the induction process and provide comprehensive and interactive safety modules that can be completed by visitors, staff, and contractors from any desktop or mobile device. The platform also offers features such as contractor and supplier management, safety briefings and language translations.
