SECTORAL SELECTION GUIDE

Energy and Renewable Energy.

  • Outdoor
  • Maintenance work
  • Task-specific protection

Mechanical maintenance, outdoor inspection and electrical work in a power plant pose different protection needs. Instead of applying a single shoe definition to all teams, task-specific selection should be made.

FROM RISK TO PRODUCT SELECTION

What's important?

  • Separate work area

    Record the tasks in the solar panel field, power plant workshop and turbine separately. Mechanical impacts, sharp parts and electrical hazards should not be evaluated under the same heading.

  • Weather and surface conditions

    Add rain, mud and metal transition surfaces to the selection file. For cold operation, also examine the duration of use, drying possibility and required thermal protection.

  • Compatibility with other equipment

    Check compatibility with ladders, platforms and work clothes during the actual task. Suitable footwear is not a substitute for working at height and safe access.

The final selection is made with the risk assessment of the workplace and the current technical documentation of the model. Industry guides are not a declaration of product conformity.
