The Wind Turbine Safety Rules (WTSRs) are a model set of Safety Rules and procedures to help formalise a Safe System of Work (SSoW) to manage the significant risks associated with a wind turbine, both onshore and offshore. They have been developed by wind farm owners and operators for the purpose of achieving both general safety and safety from the system – a process that safeguards persons from the mechanical plant and LV apparatus and the associated system derived hazards.

The general direction of the Rules will be set by the SafetyOn together with members of the G+ Global Offshore Wind Health and Safety Organisation.

PLEASE NOTE: THE FOURTH EDITION OF THE WIND TURBINE SAFETY RULES AND SUPPORT PROCEDURES ARE AVAILABLE ON https://www.energyinst.org/industry/wind-turbine-safety-rules

Current users are advised to make the necessary updates by the end of 2021. The 3rd edition of the rules are no longer available on the website.
