This combined approach provides Wind Energy organizations with a complete, worker safety solution that helps these businesses increase revenue and reduce down time and incidents.

At AWEA, Mallory Safety will also demonstrate for the first time, its new Ape-Xtreme Micro Descender, the industry’s first go anywhere, do-everything micro descender system. The Ape-Xtreme Assisted Rescue and Personal Escape System is designed for rescue and evacuation by persons who work at height in or on structures where an additional means of rescue or emergency egress involves the use of a control descent device. Now, any rescuer or worker in Wind Power, Fire Service, Industrial, Oil & Gas, Construction and Telecom operations can conduct easy, efficient rescue in any situation. These rescue situations include: vertical descent, static horizontal lifelines, confined space, inside ladder wells, and rescue unreachable situations.

Wind Energy Seeks Specific at-Height Equipment, Training to Increase Worker Productivity, Safety

The growing number of wind projects has created incremental demand for the supply of advanced safety equipment, project staffing and training. Global Wind Power organizations also are seeking to reduce incidents, and demand innovative solutions and methods to deliver improved worker safety.

Working with wind turbines is not hazard-free. There are large heavy components, dizzying heights, and unpredictable weather conditions. These demanding situations present a challenging work environment. Also, according to an article in Occupational Health and Safety Magazine, Training Wind Energy Workers, compared to twenty years ago when wind turbines were 80-foot hub heights, the average technician today is working close to 300-feet above ground. 

Current research has shown that the implementation of safety programs has a positive effect on company productivity. According to the authors of Increasing Productivity and Profit through Health & Safety , “. . . better working conditions lead to increased safety and higher productivity and profit . . . benefits come from a safer workplace with lower injury costs, higher productivity, etc.”

“Changing Wind Power industry regulations and remote worker safety challenges have led to demand for innovative equipment, ongoing project support/staffing, and hands-on training. Today’s Wind Energy safety managers are looking for solutions that enhance worker wellbeing, increase productivity and reduce downtime,” said Mallory Safety President, Tim Loy. “Our advanced, new products, job-oriented accessories, and world-class regional training facilities address these safety challenges, and provide workers with the skills and protection they need to increase their job confidence and efficiency, and reduce risk.”
