Five Controls Every Wind Site Should Verify Before Mobilization
A practical field review for rescue planning, fall protection, electrical boundaries, weather limits, and contractor alignment.
Start with the work, not the paperwork
Before crews mobilize, verify that the site plan matches the actual tasks, equipment, access methods, and weather exposure expected in the field.
Five controls to confirm
- A site-specific emergency and rescue plan has named roles.
- Fall protection equipment and anchor plans match the work.
- Electrical approach boundaries and LOTO responsibilities are clear.
- Wind, lightning, heat, and stop-work thresholds are documented.
- Contractors share one pre-task planning and corrective-action process.
