Abrégé

The invention concerns a method and a device for improving the safety of a maritime platform, installed at sea or navigating at sea, comprising an observation of sea waves striking said maritime platform, an operation of the maritime platform being controlled via a control system. The method and device of the invention are suitable for: - acquiring (42) elevation values of the surface of the sea at a plurality of points, making it possible to characterise at least one group of sea waves, a sea wave being likened to a wave defined by a period and an amplitude, - calculating (44) at least one characteristic quantity of each group of waves, - comparing (48) the calculated characteristic quantity to a hazard threshold, - if the comparison indicates the hazard threshold is crossed, raising (56) an alert intended for the control system.
