ABSTRACT
Occupational risk assessment has been performed for the construction and operation of a wind farm, located in Greece. Risk assessment is based on the Occupational Risk Model (ORCA) developed under the Workgroup Occupational Risk Model project in the Netherlands. This model assesses occupational risk of workers, by taking into account their various tasks, activities and hazards. Risk is evaluated for three types of consequences: recoverable injury, permanent injury and death. Risk profiles of all job positions such as crane operators, electricians, fitters and maintenance workers are assessed, by taking into account the specific working conditions of the workers. Jobs are ranked, according to their risk.
