GEV Wind Power has won the Innovation in Safety and the Safety Performance and Delivery awards at Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy’s (SGRE) Annual Contractors Safety Conference for the Northern Europe and Middle East region, marking the second year in a row that GEV has won awards at SGRE’s annual event.
GEV won for the development of new initiatives to improve safety rescue drills combined with skills training for leading edge protection, helping to combat leading edge erosion. The company also received the Safety Performance & Delivery award for the record number of safety observations reported by company technicians last year.
At last year’s SGRE event, the company was named the Major Projects Division Overall Winner for Safety Performance Delivery.

This not only allows our expert in-field team to work efficiently, but also minimizes downtime, and helps us to uphold an incident-free working environment.”
