- Work on and around turbines carries a burn injury risk, so flame resistant clothing and other personal protective equipment should match the energy present in the equipment being worked on.
- Emergency access and casualty evacuation arrangements at remote wind farm sites need to be planned and rehearsed before work starts.
- Where the cause of an arc or explosion event is not yet established, operators should preserve evidence and share findings once known to support sector wide learning.
