While technological advances aim to ensure the safest possible conditions, the wind energy sector nevertheless requires further coordination and harmonisation in health and safety standards.<\/p>\r\n<p>The new study will explore potential areas to do this, both onshore and offshore, from construction to operation and maintenance and decommissioning. The study will provide an overview of legislation currently in force, as well as standards and certification procedures.
