"Health & Safety plays a critical role during COVID-19, helping to ensure that operational wind farms can continue to produce power without risking their plant staff and the communities in which they operate, but more so for
The Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSRs) are a model set of Safety Rules and procedures to help formalise a Safe System of Work (SSoW) to manage the significant risks associated with a wind turbine, both onshore and offshore.

Started the development of Wind Turbine System Safety Rules (WTSSR), often referred as WTSR-HV; Monitor and review alignment of the WTSR against other standards. Over the coming years the OSRG will continue to work on forward
Emerging energy technology experts suggest that nations and markets lagging in wind power adoption can seize opportunities as costs decline and regulatory flexibility increases. Wind Energy: Pros of Wind-Generated
The Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSRs) are a model set of Safety Rules and procedures to help formalise a Safe System of Work (SSoW) to manage the significant risks associated with a wind turbine, both onshore and offshore.
The Wind Turbine Safety Rules Support Procedure P6, 'Procedure for appointment of persons', defines minimum standards for training. Guidance on the structure of a formal training programme to achieve these standards is contained in Addendum C1 of this Guidance. Throughout the Wind Turbine Safety Rules the term 'work or testing' has been used.
This guideline has been written for wind energy generation facilities and provides a framework to develop and address safe work practices for electrical safety, in addition to those practices required by applicable health and safety laws. This guideline deals with safe work practices and not safe installation requirements.
The EHS Guidelines for Wind Energy include information relevant to environmental, health, and safety aspects of onshore and offshore wind energy facilities.
Therefore, it is beneficial for the wind energy sector to develop well-defined electrical safe work practices and procedures for maintaining and operating the associated wind farm equipment throughout the facility’s operational life cycle.
They have been developed by wind farm owners and operators for the purpose of achieving both general safety and safety from the system – a process that safeguards persons from the mechanical plant and LV apparatus and the associated system derived hazards.
