From complex to clear: Inch Cape's EHS journey with Barbour EHS

Located in the North Sea on a site covering 150 square kilometres, Inch Cape Offshore Wind Farm is one of Scotland's largest offshore wind farm projects.

At almost 1.1 gigawatts and progressing towards full construction, this project will make a significant contribution towards the UK’s offshore wind ambitions, and it will generate enough green energy to power the equivalent of more than half the homes in Scotland.

Inch Cape approached Barbour EHS to help navigate complex legislation and understand its obligations related to the safety of their employees and environmental protection. They wanted the tools to implement important frameworks and influence company culture.

After working closely with the Inch Cape team, Barbour EHS has been able to support its specific requirements with individually tailored services.

The Results

By leveraging our comprehensive health, safety and environmental legislation resources, Inch Cape has efficient access to information and tools to positively influence on-site culture, and support environmental, health and safety compliance.

Through our extensive and up-to-date libraries, Inch Cape can easily review essential guidance, legislation, and trade association publications in a centralised platform. A key bookmarking feature keeps the team updated automatically on any changes, ensuring compliance without delay. The Inch Cape team also makes use of the ready-made Barbour EHS tools – such as toolbox talks, model policy templates, director briefings, and weekly newsletters – to facilitate effective communication on EHS responsibilities across all levels, supporting a culture of accountability and reinforcing values.

Finally, by taking advantage of the extensive library of downloadable resources, the team can proactively manage compliance and EHS obligations. Included are legislation summaries, technical guides on priority topics, ISO gap analysis tools, and risk assessment templates, which are key in helping to reduce the risks associated with non-compliance.

Researching, verifying, and interpreting complex legislation presents significant challenges, particularly given the potential risks to employees and the business if misunderstood. Barbour EHS has streamlined this process for Inch Cape by translating complex legal requirements into accessible, practical resources, saving the project team valuable time and resources. The libraries are updated daily, ensuring Inch Cape has access to accurate and up to date information – which gives a reliable alternative to online searches that often yield outdated or incorrect information.
