Although a lift installed in the towers of the wind turbines can transport the service technicians at least part of the way up to the nacelle, ladders still have to be used. Special safety standards are also trained here. The picture shows a service technician climbing from the service boat onto the transition section between the foundation and the tower of the actual wind turbine at the Rhyl Flats offshore wind power plant in the UK.
