Use of ladders
Fixed ladders inside the wind towers
Use a fully tested and maintained PPE-based fall protection system; ensure there’s a compliant safety cage.

Statutory inspection of ladders/lifts/fall arrest equipment
Use of ladders
Consider the layout of fixed ladders /fall arrest systems inside the wind tower. Consider installation of lifts for access to nacelles
Use a fully tested and maintained PPE-based fall protection system; ensure there’s a compliant safety cage.

Slips, trips and falls
Wet weather, housekeeping; Crew change and shift change from vessel to vessel and also between vessels, offshore structures, barges and crew boats as well as to and from the quayside; . Uneven surfaces; trailing leads and cables. Hazards from surroundings
Ground levelling phase, good signage, specify appropriate footwear for construction, ops and subsequent maintenance phases. Carefully thought out crew change plans for offshore evaluating. Removal and/or awareness of hazards. Temporary good condition surfaces during construction. Good lighting at all times. Off shore take
Slips, trips and falls
Slipping on wet grass on the on-shore wind farm; slips, trips and falls on access ladders due to marine growth (offshore) and platform S02 production inside structures caused by microbes which can also accelerate corrosion; Crew change and shift change from vessel to vessel and also between vessels, offshore structures, barges and crew boats as well as to and from the quayside; Uneven surfaces; trailing leads and cables. Hazards from surroundings
Ground levelling phase, good signage, specify appropriate footwear for construction, ops and subsequent maintenance phases. Carefully thought out crew change plans for offshore evaluating. Removal and/or awareness of hazards. Temporary good condition surfaces during construction. Good lighting at all times. Off shore take

Plan safe access routes to individual mast sites in the event of uneven ground, pot holes, marshy land; access to and from parking areas to towers, design of access steps, maintenance lay down areas, design of access dour latches etc.
