The Unique Risks of Wind Turbine Work
Wind turbine workers often find themselves hundreds of feet in the air, working on intricate components that must function properly to generate electricity. The very nature of the job exposes them to several potential hazards:
- Falls: Arguably the most obvious and lethal, falling from great heights can lead to severe injuries or even fatalities.
- Electrocution: Turbines generate electricity, and improper handling of equipment can result in electric shocks.
- Mechanical Errors: With multiple moving parts, the risk of malfunction or failure always looms, which could lead to accidents.
- Exposure: Being high up means being exposed to elements, which can make the job dangerous under extreme weather conditions.
