Wind turbine safety and nacelle safety - fall arrest solutions

The nacelle can be a hazardous working environment - working at height and against the wind. External access is required on the wind turbine for inspection and maintenance tasks, exposing workers to the risk of falling and wind turbine safety is essential.

Once outside the Nacelle, exposed conditions increase risk and it is essential to be able to attach to a secure anchorage and move about efficiently and confidently. In the event of a slip or fall, the worker will almost certainly need to be rescued, so additional anchorage points need to be available to provide the flexibility and security to carry out such an operation.

Anchorage points for wind turbine safety are also helpful for facilitating inspection and maintenance tasks to the tower and blades, where rope access techniques can be used. Comprehensive wind turbine safety provision is required to undertake such tasks in safety.

Uniline has tailored its proven safety products to create wind turbine safety systems to meet the specific needs of wind turbine manufacturers and operators.
