Solar power is a growing sector for green energy and green jobs. Various worker health and safety hazards exist in the manufacture, installation, and maintenance of solar energy. Employers working in the solar energy business need to protect their workers from workplace hazards and workers need to understand how to protect themselves from hazards.

Workers in the solar energy industry are potentially exposed to a variety of serious hazards, such as arc flashes (which include arc flash burn and blast hazards), electric shock, falls, and thermal burn hazards that can cause injury and death.

According to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, for every 200 employees in the solar power industry 1 employee was injured in 2019. There is a clear need for employees working in the solar power industry to know the potential hazards they may be exposed to and how to protect themselves.
