Wind Power Plant Safety Assessments

On-site safety audits are key for the safe construction and operation of wind power plants.

As the need for harnessing sustainable energy grows so does the necessity to maintain the resources that make this possible. Wind power plants are an example of such a resource. Therefore, it is vital to protect these investments by performing periodic safety assessments. Not only is this important for maintaining regulatory compliance but third-party safety audits provide much-needed support in preventative maintenance of equipment and/or operations, as well as keeping employees safe.

KERAMIDA performs on-site audits and provides observations and review of documentation to determine any gaps in safety. Each finding will be listed in a report according to the level of severity with associated corrective actions. All notable accomplishments will be included within this report as well as all recommended best industry management practices.
