"The existence of a health and safety culture in the labour environment is important to avoid accidents and injuries in the working facilities. This is especially important in the wind energy sector, which is one of the most dynamic industrial branches in the European Union with the greatest potential of growth in the near future. The Spanish Wind Energy Association has created a specific working group to develop guides and to facilitate the exchange of information, with the enthusiastic support of the Spanish companies, very concerned by this issue."
José Donoso Alonso, President AEE
"Over the last five years, more than 60,000 new jobs have been created in the EU wind energy industry – an average of 33 every day, seven days a week. Therefore, the European Wind Energy Association wants to join efforts in promoting healthy and safe places for current and future workers."
Christian Kjaer,EWEA Chief Executive
