IP 646: Determination of the concentration of dispersed particles in marine methanol fuel — Automatic Particle Counter (APC) Light Obscuration Method
09/2025
This standard describes a method for determining the level of dispersed particles in marine methanol fuel in the range from 4 μm(C) to 30 μm(C), up to a maximum of 60 000 cumulative counts per ml.
NOTE 1: The projected area of a particle is measured, this is expressed as a diameter for the purposes of this method.
NOTE 2: The subscript (C) is used to denote that the particle size has been measured using an
instrument calibrated in accordance with and traceable to ISO 11171.
WARNING — The use of this Standard can involve hazardous materials, operations and equipment. This Standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems associated with its use. It is the responsibility of users of this standard to take appropriate measures to ensure the safety and health of personnel prior to application of the standard, and fulfil statutory and regulatory requirements for this purpose.

Research report: Decommissioning, disposal and recycling of lithium-ion batteries
09/2025
Decommissioning disposal and recycling of lithium ion batteries gives an overview of LIBs, what why are used for, their demand in current industry as well as end of life, what this means as well as current practice. This research report also dives into current legislation , regulations and good practice from the UK, EU as well as other international regulations where applicable. Finally, this document discusses the risks associated with battery recycling, including current recycling strategies and differences across countries and battery types. This publication is aimed at those who own or operate a BESS.

Guidelines on earthing/grounding/bonding in the oil and gas industry
09/2025
This publication brings together the essential requirements relating to earthing/grounding and bonding for installations in hazardous areas in the oil and gas industry. It provides guidance on earthing, grounding and bonding practices in the upstream and downstream sectors, most notably in hazardous areas, but including adjacent areas classified as non-hazardous.
This publication is intended for global application to oil and gas facilities such as upstream production installations, storage facilities, terminals, refineries, filling stations and product transfer, but not downstream gas facilities. It covers the design, operation, inspection, test and maintenance of both new and existing facilities, portable/temporary equipment, and operational interactions with bulk fuel tankers and aircraft refuellers (but no other aspect of tankers or aircraft).
This publication embodies relevant recommendations in the EN 60079 series; BS 7671 Requirements for electrical installations – IEE Wiring Regulations; relevant aspects of the UK statutory Electricity at Work Regulations and the Electrical Safety, Quality and Continuity Regulations; and gives cognizance to the relevant aspects of the recommendations from IEEE 80 Guide for Safety in AC Substation Grounding.

Unprecedented growth in offshore wind accompanied by a rise in injury rates
12/06/2025
The G+ Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation, based at the Energy Institute, has today published its 2024 Incident Data Report, providing a comprehensive overview to date of health and safety performance across the global offshore wind sector. The report, now in its twelfth year and covering data from G+ member sites, documents a year of unprecedented growth for the industry, with 79 million work hours reported - a 27% increase on 2023. This expansion was accompanied by a rise in both th
