1. Introduction
A turbine connected to the grid implies certain elements of danger if it is handled without exercising
proper caution.
For safety reasons, at least two persons have to be present during a work procedure.
The work must be properly carried out in accordance with this manual and other related manuals.
This implies, among other things that personnel must be instructed in and familiar with relevant parts
of this manual.
Furthermore, personnel must be familiar with the contents of the “Substances and Materials”
regulations.
Caution must especially be exerted in situations where measurement and work is done in junction
boxes that can be connected to power.
Consequently the following safety regulations must be observed.
2.
Stay and Traffic by the Turbine
Do not stay within a radius of 400m (1300ft) from the turbine unless it is necessary. If you have to
inspect an operating turbine from the ground, do not stay under the rotor plane but observe the rotor
from the front.
Make sure that children do not stay by or play nearby the turbine. If necessary, fence the foundation.
The access door to the turbine must be locked in order to prevent unauthorised persons from
stopping or damaging the turbine due to mal-operation of the controller.
3.
Address and Phone Number of the
Turbine
Note the address and the access road of the turbine in case an emergency situation should arise. The
address of the turbine can often be found in the service reports in the ring binders next to the ground
controller. Find the phone number of the local life-saving service.
