JOINT INITIATIVE


“We all want to do the right thing. We need to work together to make working at height safe and easy for people while protecting the planet.”


WIND ENERGY SECTOR CASE STUDIES Representatives from the wind energy sector raised many interesting discussions such as how rope access specialists can work alongside access companies. By adopting a blended work approach and acknowledging each other’s specialist skills, both teams will provide a more efficient and safer service for their customers.


They shared some interesting case studies whereby the attachment of a winch to the truck-mounted machine avoided the difficulty of transporting two separate pieces of plant to a remote location.


Other topics included how the manufacturer might improve the shape of the baskets to allow technicians to get closer to the blades.


INCLEMENT WEATHER CONDITIONS Wind sector customers shared the frustrations of downtime due to inclement weather and discussed various solutions that might allow technicians to battle the elements and work through the problems caused by rain, humidity and low temperatures.


SAFETY


There were also some lively debates about legislation and the use of descenders in emergency situations. And some serious discussions about keeping everyone on the job safe. Emergencies may be rare, but emergency planning is essential.


ON THE SAME WAVELENGTH By the end of the two days, it was obvious everyone was on the same page. “We are bringing efficiency and quality standards to the next level so that you can work safely and efficiently” said Antti Rauhala, Deputy Managing Director at Bronto Skylift.


In the words of Fergus Mc Ardle, Managing Director at the Easi UpLifts Group: “We all want to do the right thing. We need to work together to make working at height safe and easy for people while protecting the planet.”
