The law requires businesses operating renewable energy developments to have arrangements for evacuation, escape, recovery and rescue to prevent any risk of harm to persons working at those developments, including risks from fire. The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) are the regulatory authorities for those legal requirements at offshore renewable energy developments.
