When technical work takes place within the wind turbine and the environment of a wind farm, hazardous energies are found in various forms posing a risk of injury to all workers. The Hazardous Energies Basic Safety module has been developed as a basic training on the risks related to hazardous energies in the wind industry to prepare workers to act safely when in the vicinity of hazardous energies or when working on systems and equipment containing hazardous energies.
