Occupational safety and health is a decisive factor in the development of renewable energies, as special safety precautions must often be taken during the installation and maintenance of wind turbines, solar energy installations or biomass power plants. In addition, progressive electrification raises numerous issues regarding the safety of batteries, particularly lithium-ion batteries. Continual ongoing development of technologies also requires new protective measures to be taken or existing protective measures to be adapted to new conditions. Only in conjunction with effective occupational safety and health measures can the efficiency and sustainability of renewable energies be promoted in the long term. The Section therefore deals with emerging issues in the context of renewable energies and occupational safety and health, and serves as a point of contact for this purpose.
