Where Wind Vision Meets Strategic Action

At Windcom, safety is number one. We have an annual safety training where all techs get a refresher course over a span of one week. But we do not wait until then to update and add training. Almost weekly, I prepare and share a new training module.
Wind blade maintenance is often overlooked because blades are perceived as non-wear items that are made with weatherproof materials. The problem is that the other components of a wind turbine are more familiar because they are parts that are used in many other industries and the maintenance is well understood.
WindCom is proud to welcome Dionicio Aleman to our staff as EHS coordinator. As the company grows so does its need for safety.
