Public safety

Public Safety Safety is important: tall towers moving parts high voltage electrical equipment falling ice guy wires turbine breakage accessibility to electrical equipment and interiors of tubular towers Standard safeguards : locking the turbine tower doors, info kiosks away from the turbines restricted access during icing events. Aircraft safety: Federal Aviation Administration lighting requirements site specific.

Liability prevention From the outset of project planning and decision- making and implementation project location, design, installation, operation, and decommissioning, liability prevention is essential. Depending on insurance as a substitute for solid planning is a poor practice The key is diligence throughout planning and implementation of your project. If an unauthorized person climbs a turbine or wind instrument tower, it may be viewed as an “attractive nuisance” for which the owner may be held liable.
