Safety
Safety, training and method
Work at height, in a confined nacelle, on stored energy and in weather. The method exists so that nothing on that list is improvised.
Safety on a turbine is mostly decided before anyone climbs: by the assessment that found the hazard, the method statement that controlled it, the permit that proved the isolation and the rescue plan that was in place before it was needed. The five steps below are how that happens on every job.
01
Assess
We look at the machine and the site before quoting anything.

02
Plan
The risk assessment and method statement are written for this job, not copied.

Mobilise
People, parts and access arranged against a date that holds.

Work
Under permit, with the day recorded as it happens.

Report
A readable record of what was found and what it means.

Method
Five steps, five documents
The same sequence on every job, whether it is one turbine on a hill or a campaign at sea. Each step produces a document, and the documents are what the client is actually buying.
- 01
Assess
A call, a look at the records and, where the job warrants it, a visit. The output is a scope note: what is to be done, what is excluded, what access and isolation are needed, and what we still do not know. A quote that follows an assessment can be held to; a quote that precedes one cannot.

Plan
The RAMS names the hazards on this site, the controls for each, the sequence of work, the people and their competencies, the equipment and its inspection dates, and the rescue plan. It goes to the client before mobilisation so that any objection is raised while it is still cheap to raise.

- 03
Mobilise
Technicians, tools, spares, lifting equipment and access are confirmed against the agreed date, with the permits requested and the isolations booked. If a part or a weather window moves the date, the client hears it from us rather than from an empty car park.

Work
Work runs under the site's permit system with the isolations proved before anyone starts. The daily log records who attended, what was done, what was measured, what was replaced and anything found that was not in the scope. If the job cannot be done safely on the day, it stops and the reason is written down.

Report
The report states findings, measured values, photographs, parts used and recommendations with a priority against each. It is written so that an asset manager who was not on site can act on it. Anything left open is listed as open, not omitted.

Documents
What you receive
Every job produces the same set of documents. They are the record the client keeps.
- Risk assessment and method statement
- Written for the site and the task, issued before mobilisation, and revised on site if the conditions found are not the conditions assumed.
- Permit to work and isolation record
- Issued under the site's own permit system, with the isolation proved and recorded before work starts and the permit signed back on completion.
- Inspection report
- Findings, measured values, photographs and a priority against every recommendation, written so that someone who was not on site can act on it.
- Completion certificate
- What was completed, what remains open, the parts used and the values recorded, signed by the technician who did the work.
Training
Training and tickets
The training and tickets our technicians hold, with the scheme and the expiry date against each.
Nothing is listed here yet. LRM Wind does not name a training scheme, a ticket or an accreditation on this site until the certificate is in hand, so this section stays empty until it can be evidenced. Ask for the current records with any enquiry and they will be sent with the quote.
Insurance
Cover levels are not published here yet. Certificates are sent with any quote on request.
Stopping work
Any technician on an LRM Wind job may stop the work, and is expected to when the conditions, the equipment or the information do not match the method statement. A stop is recorded with its reason and is never treated as a fault. Restarting requires the reason to have been resolved in writing, not verbally.
