RISE IN WIND FARM INSTALLATIONS POSES NEW SAFETY CHALLENGESWe all know that wind energy is a rising star in North America’s renewable energy policy. The wind industry remains one of the fastest growing forms of non-traditional electricity generation in North America and finished last year with a total of 40,180 MW of installed capacity, with a further 5,600 MW of new wind projects under construction. But while this sustained growth in new installations continues a new challenge is rapidly taking centre stage – the health and safety of wind technicians in both the construction, operation and maintenance of these wind farms.

H&S REGULATION THAT WILL AFFECT EVERYONEUnlike in established industries where standards have been set, the rules and regulations for health and safety specific to the wind sector are far from clear.

The simple fact is that wind farms are unlike any other existing infrastructure and as such, traditional rules and regulations covering off building construction and working at height are being evolved alongside the industry growth. To date there are no industry standards set for wind technicians and any company that performs work on a wind farm is forced to design and utilize their own safety strategies based on best practice. These improvised rules and regulations have met varying degrees of success. In the worst cases large fines have been handed out to culpable parties.

The Department of Labor’s Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has therefore recently turned its attention to the wind industry, and is making moves to understand in what way safety standards should apply.

US Department of Labor's OSHA hands out fine following worker fatality investigation” source www.OSHA.gov

WHO IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE; AND WHAT ARE THE CONSEQUENCES OF GETTING IT WRONG?The question over who is directly responsible for a breach in health and safety procedure is an on-going debate – does the owner / operator take all the blame, or is it the contractor or their sub-contractor? More to the point, who takes responsibility for the financial penalty… and whose company name gets published globally as the party at fault? In such a nascent industry, bad market credibility can have serious knock-on implications for winning future business.

Can you answer the following questions about your wind farm?• WhatarethecurrentsafetystandardsinherentinwindfarmstodayandhowcanIbesureIstaywithin their parameters?

Many wind turbine operators don’t have real information on the costs of O&M since the manufacturers take care of that during the warranty period. OEMs have this data but they are very secretive with it. This report offers the best available information on O&M so that operators can plan and predict component breakdown in order to mitigate their costs.
