Wind Turbine High Angle Rescue
When it seems there is never enough time to do things the right way, remember there is always enough time for an OSHA investigation.
Wind turbines
reaching 300 feet tall presents many challenges to the wind turbine workers who construct them. Wind turbines are built in areas of high and sustained winds making construction difficult and dangerous. Wind turbine installation and maintenance are not easy tasks; a turbine is a high-risk environment with a number of danger areas where workers are exposed to fall risk. Workers must be aware of the safety hazards and be supplied with appropriate fall protection equipment, as well as training in the proper use of that equipment.To learn more about our Confined Space Rescue teams click here
Wind turbines are typically located in rural areas with limited or no technical rescue support, local rescue efforts are usually manned by
surrounding fire departments that have little to no experience in confined space wind turbine rescue and may not have the equipment necessary
to rescue someone from atop a wind turbine. Not to mention the valuable time it takes to get on scene from the local community.
Code Red Safety offers wind turbine rescue teams
also known as high angle or confined space rescue teams. Our wind turbine rescue teams have the following training and certifications as a minimum (many crew members have more):- First Aid and CPR Certification
- OSHA 30
- Confined Space Rescue
- Hazwoper Training
AS AN EMPLOYER WHAT ARE MY RESPONSIBILITIES?
OSHA states very specifically what an employer is responsible for concerning fall protection in the construction industry.
1926.502(d)(20) "The employer shall provide for prompt rescue of employees in the event of a fall or shall
assure that employees are able to rescue themselves."
