A Northampton-based health and safety firm has released a second book in as many months to help boost solar safety management in a niche industry.

Acorn Safety Services, based near Moulton Park, has released Solar Safe: Master Compliance, Lead Fearlessly, Build with Confidenceto give advice to workers on solar farm projects so they can manage health and responsibilities across these niche sites.

The book covers numerous topics to help people get to grips with a number of UK regulations while improving their mindset to tackle health and safety issues in a more proactive manner. It also gives tips and strategies to ‘build teams, systems, and site practices that practically run themselves.’

Zeynep Guzelkasap, Operations Manager at Acorn Safety Services, said: “We’re really passionate about helping people overcome their health and safety issues, and what better way than by writing a series of books that anyone can access. The book format also makes it so easy for people to digest as and when they need to, setting them up for a successful project.

“This may seem like a niche area, but the use of solar wind farms is increasing and last year saw a number of exciting innovations and technological advancements in the renewable energy sector. The need to stay compliant with this rapidly evolving technology is increasingly important and our book will help people navigate that, helping people to stop firefighting, and gain control of their health and safety issues on these sites.”

The book follows on from the release of The Retail Compliance Handbookat the end of 2024, which was written to helpretailers in charge of multiple UK locations to manage risks like legionella, fire hazards and asbestos, as well as ensuring the safety of their employees, visitors and customers.
