Assembly Point / Incident Reporting
There are 3 separate clusters of turbines on site. The assembly point for turbines 1 to 5 is located by the main substation building, the assembly point for turbines 6 to 13 is located just outside the entrance gate to that cluster and the assembly point for turbines 14 to 16 is located just outside the entrance gate to that cluster. In the event of an evacuation; all staff are to gather at the relevant assembly point but as not to cause an obstruction to any emergency vehicles. If the site is evacuated a head count will be carried out at the assembly point by the lead technician or subcontractor supervisor who will also contact the OC.
Prompt reporting of any accident, incident, injury or significant near miss is paramount and these should be reported to the site manager and OC at the safest and earliest opportunity. In the case of a serious injury, raise the alarm and call for help immediately if safe to do so. The closest hospital to Carrigdangan windfarm is Bantry General Hospital.
