The rapid growth of solar energy production, as well as other renewable energy sources, has led to an increased focus on identifying and eliminating hazards to workers, emphasizing the importance of occupational safety and health in these industries (Schulte et al., 2016; Ukoba et al., 2018).
Secondly, the review discusses the safety risks associated with solar energy production, focusing on occupational health and safety hazards for workers involved in manufacturing, installation, maintenance, and decommissioning of solar energy systems.
Continuous research and innovation are paramount in addressing the environmental health and safety (EHS) risks of solar energy production. Advancements in PV panel recycling technologies, improvements in manufacturing processes, and enhanced safety protocols and training for workers are essential to mitigate these risks effectively.
Furthermore, the awareness of occupational hazards among workers, including those in the solar energy sector, is essential to mitigate risks and enhance productivity (Kattof et al., 2022; Marahatta et al., 2018).
