Wind energy: Healthy for the environment, but how healthy for workers?

Wind is key to the EU’s move towards renewable energy. The wind energy sector is growing quickly, but bringing with it many occupational safety and health risks as many aspects of onshore and offshore wind turbines are unique, and so are the working environments in which they are found.

EU-OSHA’s report examines the risks to wind energy workers along the various stages of onshore and offshore wind turbines’ life cycle and looks at the challenges faced by the industry as it progresses towards providing a safer working environment.
