Two countries, 17 wind turbines and invaluable experience!
We are publishing the experience story of Richard Rullis, Senior Occupational Health and Safety Specialist at SIA SAFETY FIRST, about wind farm construction projects in Croatia and Germany!
- Adaptation and finding solutions
- Working in an international team
- Team strength and safety
The summer of 2024 was truly dynamic and challenging - working on wind farm construction projects in Croatia and Germany, I gained not only new knowledge but also valuable experience in an international environment.
For the second summer in a row I provided occupational safety supervision in wind farm construction, but this time I had the opportunity to expand my experience beyond the Baltic States and travel to Croatia and Germany. In each of these countries, one supervision project was successfully completed, with a total of 17 turbines installed.
Wind turbine installation is a complex and changing process, with each situation requiring an individual approach. Working in different climatic conditions, operating with international teams and high safety standards required continuous development of problem solving and decision making skills.
In these projects I worked with specialists from all over the world, from Europe to South America (my colleagues on sites came from Romania, Croatia, Denmark, Poland, Germany, Russia, Spain, Brazil, Mexico, the Netherlands, etc.). This experience not only helped to develop intercultural communication, but also gave me the opportunity to learn from other countries' best practices in occupational safety.
A safe working environment is not just a regulatory requirement - it is a shared responsibility. Working with different teams further reinforced the belief that cooperation, discipline and mutual trust are thekey factors for successful and safe project implementation.
With each project , not only the knowledge and professional competence grows , but also the confidence in the ability of the SAFETY FIRST team to deliver the highest safety standards throughout Europe and beyond. We currently have four experienced occupational safety specialists in our team who are actively involved in wind farm construction and service projects.
