Our Approach
Wind turbine work requires specialist technical competence alongside robust access and safety planning
​
Every project is assessed individually, with consideration given to access, weather conditions, equipment, rescue arrangements, turbine configuration and the specific repair or inspection requirement
​
Our combined knowledge of blade work, industrial rope access and working at height allows projects to be planned around the demands of the turbine and site rather than relying on a single standard approach
Safety & Compliance
The demanding environment presented by wind turbines requires high standards of competence, planning and supervision
​
Our Renewables projects utilise technicians holding the relevant GWO training for their assigned scope, together with IRATA-qualified rope access personnel where rope access is required
​
Rope access operations are planned in accordance with the IRATA International Code of Practice (ICOP), which places particular emphasis on planning, management, technician competence, equipment and maintaining a safe system of work
​
These requirements are further supported by Opal Access Limited’s own enhanced health and safety policies, procedures and safe systems of work, together with our:

ISO 9001 – Quality Management
-
ISO 14001 – Environmental Management
-
ISO 45001 – Occupational Health & Safety Management
