臺灣風電產業人員職場危害因子研究及調查

A Study and Survey on Occupational Hazard Factors among Taiwan's Wind Power Industry Workers

全球對於再生能源需求增加，風力發電是為臺灣綠色能源發展的重要支柱，自2000年以來，已成為我國能源轉型重要的一環，隨著陸域優良風場逐漸飽和，其發展重心逐漸由陸域轉向離岸，相關產業從業人員所面臨的作業風險與健康挑戰亦日益嚴峻。尤其在風機大型化、作業高度提升與海象不穩定等特殊環境下工作，使相關從業人員面臨著更高的風險與挑戰。然我國風電領域仍屬新興產業，相關職業安全衛生議題及職場危害因子研究尚顯不足，此外，風電產業在招募和培訓方面受到保護，加上涉及操作技術和跨國合作等因素，相關職業安全衛生事件和數據大多不對外公開，限制了相關研究的進行，使風電產業工作相對成為職業安全衛生風險知之甚少的產業。
本研究以臺灣風電產業實務從業人員為對象，涵蓋陸域與離岸作業場域，透過問卷調查方式，蒐集218份有效問卷，針對工作型態、作業條件與常見職場危害因子等，進行調查與分析，期能全面掌握風電相關產業人員現場所面臨之潛在風險與健康壓力。調查結果顯示，自然環境因素（如風速、波高、強光與高溫）為影響作業安全與身心健康的主要來源，此外，因輪班制度、長工時與局限空間等工作條件，亦可能致使疲勞累積與身心負荷問題產生。
本研究揭示風電產業人員實務風險現況，除可作為我國風電產業職場安全與健康政策規劃的重要參考依據，亦有助於後續建立具體之作業環境管理指引、健康促進策略及職場支持機制，以強化風電從業人員之整體健康保障與職業安全。

With the growing global demand for renewable energy, wind power has become a critical pillar of Taiwan's green energy development. Since 2000, it has played a key role in Taiwan's energy transition. As onshore wind farm resources approach saturation, the focus of wind energy development has gradually shifted offshore. Consequently, the operational risks and health challenges faced by workers in the wind power sector have become increasingly severe. Particularly, the trend toward larger turbines, higher working altitudes, and unpredictable marine weather conditions has led to more complex and hazardous work environments. However, Taiwan's wind power industry remains an emerging sector, and related research on occupational safety, health issues, and workplace hazard factors is still insufficient. Furthermore, recruitment and training in the industry are often protected by commercial confidentiality, and due to the technical complexity and international collaboration involved, data on occupational incidents and health risks are largely inaccessible to the public. This has hindered research progress and resulted in a general lack of understanding of the actual occupational risks faced by wind power workers.
This study targets frontline practitioners in Taiwan’s wind energy sector, covering both onshore and offshore operational environments. Through a questionnaire survey, a total of 218 valid samples were collected to investigate working patterns, operational conditions, and common workplace hazard factors. The findings reveal that natural environmental conditions—such as wind speed, wave height, intense sunlight, and high temperatures—are perceived as the major sources of occupational safety and health risks. In addition, rotating shifts, long working hours, and confined working spaces may contribute to accumulated fatigue and physical-mental burdens among workers.
This research provides a current overview of practical risks in the wind energy workforce. The findings offer an important empirical basis for formulating occupational safety and health policies for Taiwan’s wind industry, and can assist in developing targeted environmental management guidelines, health promotion strategies, and workplace support mechanisms to strengthen the overall protection of health and safety for wind energy personnel.
