In response to the era of energy exhaustion, solar power industry has been promoted recently in Taiwan. And some solar photovoltaic systems have been installed on the roof. However, the fall incidents from roof happened occasionally, making the work safety of sloped rooftop solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation sites become highly concerned. The purpose of this study is to collect relevant information, analyze roof incidents, and conduct on-site counseling to investigate the current situation and hazard prevention key points of sloped rooftop PV power generation sites. The results can be used as a reference for PV industry. This study collects major occupational incidents in the non-construction industry from 2012 to 2015; major occupational incidents in the construction industry from 2013 to 2017 in Taiwan. Relevant hazard data and regulations were investigated and the on-site safety checklist of PV power generation sites was reviewed by experts. Totally 20 on-site safety consultation were conducted. Among the 556 major occupational incidents in recent years, 352 (~63% ) were falling cases and the most cases were falling from the roof or rooflight (~27% ). The most common cause of the incidents was lack of the occupational safety and health training (~80% ). There were about 6,476 PV sites in 2017 in Taiwan. Through on-site visiting, it was found that the organization of the related construction and operation sectors in PV industry was complicated. And the contractors were not familiar with the roof working environment. The current most serious incident is also the fall incident. Among the 14 sloped rooftop PV sites, more than half of the items in the safety checklist that partially or totally failed to meet the requirements of regulations included the fall arrest facilities and safe passages, etc. It is recommended that the PV industry should take preventive measures from the perspective of "source management", safety measures should be incorporated in the design stage. And the comprehensive safety management plan should be put into effect to ensure the safety of staffs, survey personnel and people nearby. |
