What are the dangers of Solar Panels Installation?
Solar panels are becoming more and more popular in NSW. In 2021, there was an increase of 25% in the number of installation companies. However, working with panels can often be dangerous when one is not aware enough. A majority of solar panels find themselves on rooftops for optimal performance. As efficient as it is, it often creates more exposure to a variety of risks. Some dangers include falling off a ladder or through the roof’s edge. Falling objects and contact with electricity are also two unpredictable issues.
How to take appropriate precautions?
There are various ways to remain as aware as possible when installing solar panels. Simple steps can greatly reduce risks and potentially save lives. It is essential to assess the work environment and remain aware of any hazards on site. Open communication with workers is also key in what they feel comfortable doing and any recommendations they need. Roof rails and scaffolds are key and can avoid many risks.
Alert systems using visual and audio cues can help greatly to create better awareness for workers. This is especially relevant for larger work outdoor environments. These can help not only to minimise reaction time but also prevent risks as a whole.
