SafetyOn is the health and safety organisation for onshore wind sector. Providing a voice for the dynamic and innovative onshore wind industry, it ensures transparency about the industry’s health and safety performance, as well as assisting industry stakeholders to see the key emerging risks are mitigated through cooperation and shared learning.

This guide brings together the collective experience of the onshore wind industry and its purpose is to document a process which, if followed, will ensure the safe decommission of an irreparably damaged WTG. The document is set out to provide a course of action which should be adopted following the conclusion of the emergency response procedure (ERP) process. The process contained within this document should not override the ERP. The processes documented in this guidance should only come into effect when all relevant actions detailed within a project ERP have been completed.
