Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article examines the main standards that apply to high-altitude work in the wind energy industry. Such documents are necessary to regulate and ensure safety at all stages of the life cycle of "green" energy production, with special attention to be paid to the most hazardous areas of activity, including high-altitude work. Based on this, a critical analysis of the requirements and standards in the selected countries is carried out, the standards used and the percentage of uncountable cases in the process of high-altitude work at stations are compared. At the same time, each country adheres to the requirements of uniform international standards, but, if necessary, adopts its own requirements, specifically for certain types of stations, types of work, etc. In conclusion, a number of problematic aspects are put forward, the solution of which will contribute to increasing the level of safety at wind stations.
