Questionnaire for wind turbine technicians

 
Hello!
 I'm a Swedish student from Lulea Technical University. I'm currently writing my bachelor's thesis on the work safety of wind turbines with respect to fire. Hence, I am in great need of your experience and knowledge. The work is carried out together with Anne  Dederichs, senior research scientist from RISE(Research Institutes of Sweden). Your input is highly needed!

 We've created a questionnaire about your daily working environment on the turbines. Please fill in the questionnaire and contribute to our project of safer wind turbines.

Thank you!

Oskar Nyström(osknys-7@student.ltu.se) and Anne Dederichs from RISE
