The American Society of Safety Professionals (ASSP) has published the first U.S. industry consensus standard written specifically for the construction and demolition of wind turbines. ANSI/ASSP A10.21-2018 was approved in April by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ASSP is secretariat of the A10 Accredited Standards Committee.

Safety Requirements for Safe Construction and Demolition of Wind Generation/Turbine Facilities establishes minimum requirements for protecting workers involved in the construction and demolition of a utility-scale, land-based wind turbine, a device that converts the wind’s kinetic energy into electrical energy.
