Hopefully, even within the rooms there is no possibility of accidentally contacting a live conductor? If so, I suggest no special PPE. However, for any specific tasks that might involve such contact, or for live switching, then insulating gloves/mats and flash protection for eyes are typical. I'm not a qualified HV switching person, but your offshore installation should have one - and he/she should know where to look for details as a result of their HV training.
