Within the scope of the energy revolution, wind power is a rapidly growing field worldwide and therefore offers a high number of jobs. With a hub height of up to 160 m, wind turbines tower high into the sky. Whether onshore or offshore, installation engineers have to be trained in a variety of situations and be able to safely move around and perform rescues on/in the wind turbines (e.g. through training from the Global Wind Organization, GWO).
What makes wind turbines special is that the engineers generally work alone. The local fire department is not usually prepared or equipped for a rescue in a wind turbine.
