1 Safety 0011358041

All work relating to a Vestas wind turbine, including work methods and practices, employee
training and protective measures, and use of tools and equipment, shall be in accordance with
the requirements of the applicable governmental and private occupational safety and health
codes and standards. Employers engaged in such work are also required to be familiar with and
comply with the wind turbine-specific ‘Safety regulations for operators and technicians’ manual
for the relevant wind turbine type. Vestas shall not be responsible for any liabilities arising from
failure to comply with such requirements. Vestas reserves the right to inspect such work to
ascertain such compliance.
The service technician must read and understand the PPE sheets for each of the chemicals used
or work done in this instruction. The PPE sheets describe the correct personal protective
equipment to wear for the specific work. If in doubt about the PPE requirements for the work,
contact the site responsible or the line manager and confirm the correct procedure before starting
the work.
Read the full document before you start to do work.

2 Educational requirements of service technician 0011358855

At least 2 of the service technicians who do work in a wind turbine must be able to prove that they
