An Innovative Methodology for Wind Turbine Generator Rotor Blade Manufacturing Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment

Abstract

Hazard analysis uncovers and identifies hazards that exist in the workplace, generally focusing on a particular activity, project, or system. It develops a means to – communicate, track, quantify, allocate mitigation measures, verify effectiveness. The objective of this paper is to obtain hazards and risk analysis, the event sequences leading to hazards and the risk associated with hazardous events. Many techniques ranging from the simple qualitative methods to the advanced quantitative methods are available to help identify and analyze hazards. An innovative methodology is presented here to obtain the hazards and risk analysis in Wind Turbine Generator Rotor Blade Manufacturing unit for three different processes. The three different process on which Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment has been done are MPRP/Resin & Hardner mixing Process, MPRP/Kitting Process and Prefab/MG O & X Process.
