Amerisafe is pleased to announce their upgraded internal and external safety training specific to the wind industry. Started on February 1, 2012, Amerisafe has been actively working to improve their safety consultants' training for current and upcoming Wind projects.
Amerisafe Consulting & Safety Services (ACSS), a leader in Wind Energy Safety, have developed an earned reputation for providing expert Wind Energy Safety Management and Safety Training services for the Wind Energy industry.
Enhancements to the Wind Industry Orientation and Safety Training will include time "shadowing" a more senior consultant at a wind project.
"This gives the safety consultant hands on knowledge of the challenges that go along with constructing a wind project as well as insight to better train Wind Farm construction personnel on the hazards associated and then eliminate those hazards by preplanning work," states David M. Harman, MS, CSP, Project Manager - Renewable Energy at Amerisafe Consulting & Safety Services.
Due to the wide geographic spread of wind projects throughout the US, ACSS believes it important for their safety consultants to gain a personal knowledge of the hazards associated with different locations.
Our upgraded Wind Safety Trainings include knowing and assessing how weather patterns can drastically affect the ground conditions where the turbines are erected and the importance of understanding that changing ground conditions can cause safety hazards for construction staff while constructing the wind turbines.
Once towers begin to be erected, ACSS continues the safety consultant's training through hands-on experience in climb testing and emergency rescue practices to ensure that the consultant understands how to respond in an emergency situation.
In addition, Amerisafe will continue the training process by working closely with local emergency response personnel (police, fire, and EMS) to build on their knowledge of the wind industry and to properly train them for the specific hazards that may be encountered during a rescue type situation.

Vecoplan - Planning and implementation of complete processing plants in refuse derived fuel production
In order to reduce the costs involved in the energy-intensive production of cement, many manufacturers are turning to refuse-derived fuels (RDF), considerably reducing the proportion of expensive primary fuels they would normally use. Solid fuels are being increasingly used - these might be used tyres, waste wood or mixtures of plastics, paper, composite materials and textiles. Vecoplan provides operators of cement plants with proven and robust components for conveying the material and separating iron and impurities, efficient receiving stations, storage systems and, of course, efficient shredders for an output in various qualities.
