Are there occupational safety risks associated with solar PV installation?
An obstacle to solar PV growth is the severity of the occupational safety risks associated with their installation. Although PV installers are known to experience some of the most significant and widespread construction-related occupational safety risks, PV installer accident investigation research, reporting, and verification are limited.
How dangerous is a photovoltaic installation?
Safety risks and mitigation measures Falls from elevated surfaces are the most significant contributing occupational hazard to fatalities in the construction industry (Dong et al., 2019, U.S. Department of Labor, 1990). Photovoltaic installations performed on elevated working surfaces expose installers to the risk of falling from dangerous heights.
Are solar power installations dangerous?
Solar power installations can be the source of a combination of risks throughout their life cycle. This may be influenced by the following main areas of hazards: exposure to toxic chemicals and metals, electric risks (PV)/burns (STP), working at height, and musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).
Which safety risks are associated with PV installations?
Through reviewing these articles, four major safety risk categories were identified as being associated with PV installations: (1) electrical and fire risks, (2) heat stress, (3) manual handling risks, and (4) fall risks.
Are solar panels a hazard?
The introduction and rapid expansion of solar technology has brought with it a number of occupational hazards for workers responsible for panel installation. Guidelines for safe solar panel installation exist, however the injuries related to panel installation are poorly quantified.
Why should PV installers review safety risks & controls?
Hence, reviewing the safety risks and controls or risk mitigation measures associated with PV installations is crucial to continuously educate PV installers regarding the most effective safety practices on-site.
