Wind turbines

Fall protection is essential for working at height in wind turbines, where servicing and maintenance often requires climbing at high altitudes. This type of work involves significant physical strain and carries a serious risk of falling accidents. At Personligt Fallskydd, we offer professional equipment to minimise the risk and ensure a safe working environment.

Requirements for working at height on wind turbines

Work at height is work that takes place more than two metres above the lowest ground level. Work in wind turbine nacelles often requires climbing ladders, which involves both extreme physical strain and a significant risk of falling. Therefore, it is crucial to follow strict safety procedures and requirements to ensure safe working conditions.

The requirements for working at height on wind turbines are:

  • Education and training: To carry out work at height on wind turbines, mast training is required as a proof of your competence.
  • Health check: To perform work at height, you must undergo a medical examination to ensure that you are physically and mentally fit for the task.

Rescue for work on wind turbines

One difficulty with working at height on wind turbines is that the work sites are difficult to access. This means that rescue operations in the event of an accident take longer and workers risk not getting the help they need if something happens. In addition, there is a risk of fire due to poor maintenance of equipment or lightning strikes.

Spring rescue equipment can often be used for both fall rescue and evacuation. Rescue blocks, rescue hoists and other equipment can be of great help in descending or transporting people in demanding situations. In addition, we offer services in risk analysis and emergency response planning.

Master's programme for work at height

Learn to work safely and securely on masts and towers with professional master's degree. Here you will learn how to save other workers from accidents during mast work on wind turbines, for example. This training is offered by ProAccess, the owner and driving force behind our company, in the largest training centre in Northern Europe. After completing the course, you will receive a mast certificate that proves your competence.

Over two intensive days, you will gain the knowledge and skills required to climb safely and carry out work in a mast environment. The training covers laws and regulations, work environment, risk analysis, handling different masts and towers, climbing techniques and safety equipment, as well as rescue methods for yourself and others.
