There is described a safety system for an offshore wind turbine (100) supported by a floating foundation (114), the floating foundation being secured to a plurality of anchors (131, 132, 13n) at a seabed (104) by a corresponding plurality of mooring lines (121, 122, 12n). The safety system comprises a safety controller (251, 252, 25n) and at least one electrically conductive wire per mooring line (241a, 21b, 242a, 242b, 24na, 24nb), each electrically conductive wire being configured to extend from the safety controller along a mooring line to the corresponding anchor at the seabed and back to the safety controller. The safety controller is configured to determine whether each of the electrically conductive wires is intact or broken, and to issue an alarm signal if it is determined that an electrically conductive wire is broken. Further, an offshore wind turbine comprising such a safety system, and a method (300) of providing safety for an offshore wind turbine supported by a floating foundation are described.
