【Industrial Event】Occupational Safety of Offshore Wind Power Industry, Special Occupations Demand as well as Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Safety Inspection and Application Seminar With the growth of the global demand for renewable energy, the offshore wind power industry is rapidly developing. Its unique working environment and operational technical challenges, however, also require multi-faceted safety risk management and the needs of cultivation of the professionals. This seminar, invites experts, scholars and technical specialists, will deeply explore the safety issues during the development of the offshore wind power as well as the professional demands. The topics cover risk management and incident precautions of #wind_farm_design, #construction, #operation_and_maintenance phases. In addition, the seminar will analyze the training, certification and capability improvement the required for various technical persons. Besides focusing on the global standards ( such as #GWO, #OPITO etc. ), for wind power safety training, how to design efficient professional and technical personnel training courses based on these standards will also be discussed in the seminar. Moreover, the key points the first domestic #Special_Aerial_Work_ Vehicle operator training and the subsequent suggestions for improvement of safety management will also be shared, providing suggestion of regulatory directions to industry, government and academy. A further discussion will be focused on the future development of the wind power industry.
