• Abstract:

  With the increase in demand for renewable energy, there has been a boom in wind farms in Brazil. With this, it was also observed the need for work safety procedures that guarantee worker health. One of the procedures used during the pre-installation phase is the Preliminary Hazard Analysis - APP, which determines the degree of risk of a sub-activity. Using the APP procedure for the sub-stages of wind turbine assembly, it was found that the average degree of risk was equal to 3, which corresponds to “moderate”. However, one of the determining factors for this conclusion is the frequency in which the accident occurs. This frequency was not based on a historical series because this data is not widely disseminated.
