“WorkSafe investigators, technical experts and dedicated renewable energies construction inspectors remain on site,” a release from Worksafe said.
“The death is the 38th confirmed workplace fatality for 2024.
“There were 62 work-related deaths at the same time last year.”
Wind turbine manufacturer and installer Vestas says they’ll discuss relevant safety documents with workers, and personnel may also be assessing the safety of on-site work areas.
