WHY NFPA 70E/ARC FLASH TRAINING IS CRUCIAL FOR YOUR WIND TURBINE TECHNICIANS

While most wind turbine technicians have little electrical experience, they also face another challenge: The wind turbine equipment often comes from overseas and doesn’t meet U.S. safety standards. OSHA has noticed these challenges today’s wind turbine techs face. Now, OSHA places greater emphasis on electrical safety training for these specialized workers. Today’s companies must provide safety training in a classroom and/or on the job. It must be documented in accordance with accepted OSHA practices. Online training programs do not meet OSHA standards. If your company doesn’t provide adequate training for your wind turbine techs, you can be facing substantial financial penalties.
