One of SafetyOn’s main work areas is the Safe by Design (SbD) programme, which brings experts together to collaborate on specific identified issues in a focused effort to reduce risk within the onshore wind industry through better design.
The objectives of the SbD ice fall/ice throw workshop included the following:
- To examine control measures in place used to prevent the risk of injury from ice fall/ice throw from wind turbine generators (WTG).
- To identify potential hazards and opportunities to design out hazards and minimise risks.
- To produce the report of recommendations for design and process changes for the industry to consider in future developments.
The approach taken to deliver the workshop and this report included:
- An incident data review.
- A literature review.
- A pre-workshop hazard identification (HAZID) study.
- Facilitation of the SbD workshop.
- Reporting of SbD workshop findings.
