Capital Safety Group, through our Uniline brand is the global market leader in the manufacture of engineered fall protection systems, with a range of products and solutions specifically designed for the wind energy sector and engineered to reduce risk and enhance safety at operational level.

In order to meet the requirements of a global safety culture within the wind turbine manufacturing industry, Uniline has developed a system that enhances safety for maintenance workers when working outside the security of the nacelle cabin.

Current nacelle safety measures provided by rails that offer discontinuous attachment points are a low level safety solution, expose people to excessive risk, encourage misuse and contribute to unproductive working practices.

Understanding customer needs, the UniRail system provides unhindered continuous access for maintenance personnel working externally on a nacelle. The UniRail system can keep workers in a restraint position, but is capable of arresting user falls, facilitating rescue and providing a system for suspended access work, including inspection and cleaning.

Unline’s systems are manufactured to ISO9001: 2000 standards and tested by Germanischer Lloyd for compliance with the requirements of EN50308. Additionally the system is compliant with the European standard for Fall Protection Anchorage Systems EN795.

The system is a very cost effective solution and has been designed for mass production with global scope, so it can integrate seamlessly into a supply chain. Furthermore UniRail has an excellent history in aggressive offshore and construction environments for more than 20 years.

Nacelle fall protection and arrest systems

Nacelle

Nacelle

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…

Rescue and access systems

Rescue & Descent

Rescue & Descent

While working in the upper reaches of the tower, rescue can be almost impossible from the ground by conventional methods. Self rescue, personal evacuation and easy to use casualty evacuation equipment is a necessity for personnel working on wind turbines. The essence of evacuation or rescue is speed. Rapid descent,…
