SUMMARY:

In recent decades, the search for sustainable energy generation solutions has driven the expansion of renewable sources on a global scale. Wind energy, in particular, has stood out as one of the main alternatives for diversifying the energy matrix and reducing the environmental impacts resulting from the burning of fossil fuels. However, the decommissioning of wind turbines still lacks regulation as a whole in Brazil, especially regarding worker safety, and these operations are expected to be carried out by 2030. Decommissioning operations present a set of distinct risks compared to the installation and maintenance phases of wind farms. The dismantling and movement of large components in the field, often carried out in difficult-to-access environments and under adverse weather conditions, require special attention to the risk of accidents. The main objective of this research project is to develop and validate a framework for the analysis and management of worker safety in wind turbine decommissioning operations. It is expected that the results of this research will contribute from a theoretical standpoint, as they constitute elements that will aid in understanding the determinants of decommissioning activity that can impact worker safety and efficiency. It will also provide a methodology for analyzing a possible future decommissioning activity and, from a practical standpoint, will present technical and organizational recommendations aimed at guiding safe practices and supporting the development of safety guidelines for wind turbine decommissioning operations.
