How do I log in? You can log in using your ACP member login. This is the same login information you use to access ACP’s other resources (e.g. CleanPower.org for Annual Market Report, ACP Webinars or ACP Market Database Pro). Your username will be your work email address. If you do not have your password, you can reset your password, or contact membership at 202-383-2500 (Dial Option 1) or via email at membership@cleanpower.org. A membership specialist will be able to assist
How do I change the year? For new surveys, the first step in the survey requires the user to select the data year they are inputting. For existing surveys (submitted or drafts that are in progress), the user can click on Surveys in the left-hand navigation pane to view all surveys. User can click on a year to filter the surveys corresponding to that data year and then click on the respective survey to view data.
Do I enter data for my international sites? Yes, but you don’t have to. Enter international data only if it conforms to U.S. regulations. Just make sure to check the box under each category if you enter international data.
How do I enter data if my company is in more than one category? Example – My company manufactures and provides service or operates multiple technologies, such as solar and wind energy. Separate surveys should be completed for each category. Step 1 of the survey requires that user select the Industry Segment and the category within that Industry Segment. In some cases, there are up to 5 levels of Industry Segment hierarchy so participants can enter survey data at a more granular level.
How do I change data after I submit it? If you need to make a change to the data after you submit it, you can click on the Edit icon next to the existing survey. A pop-up window will ask if you are sure you want to edit the survey. The survey will then be duplicated as a Draft survey and the edited survey will be submitted to the ACP Admin for approval.
Do I include subcontractors in my data? We recommend only providing subcontractor data if you think that your subcontractor does not submit data and only if your subcontractors are directly supervised by the reporting company. For example, Owner/Operations should not enter OEM data, because OEMs participate in the survey and enter their own data. However many of the subcontractors that OEMs use do not participate. Be sure to check the appropriate box if you do so.
How are injuries defined? Injuries are defined by OSHA, specifically regarding the OSHA 300 Log. You can find specifics here.
What do I do if my company is in other industries other than wind? Separate surveys should be completed for each category. Step 1 of the survey requires that user select the Industry Segment and the category within that Industry Segment. In some cases, there are up to 5 levels of Industry Segment hierarchy so participants can enter survey data at a more granular level.
What is the difference between operations and maintenance and wind project owner? Operations and maintenance activities focus on the operations and maintenance of assets not owned by that company. Project Owner owns the assets and sells the power.
What kind of information do I enter? OSHA 300 Log, incident data, and near miss data.
Does my data remain anonymous? Will my company be identified in the report? Your company’s identity remains anonymous. We assign a code to each company and that is how your company will be identified to others. We do compile a list of companies who participate in the report to recognize them, however your company name will not be linked to your data.
Do I have to be a member of ACP to submit my company’s data? No.
What do you do with my data after it’s submitted? ACP compiles all the data submitted and aggregates the data to produce the ACP Safety Data Collection Report. The data and results are shared with all the participants in the data collection.
When will my report be available? Reports are available online. Reports will have detailed information on rates, incidents, and near misses. The more information that you submitted, the more thorough the report will be. Because data is entered on an ongoing basis, the report will be updated with each entry that reaches Submitted status. An annual American Clean Power Association Injury and Illness Executive Summary will typically be published each year in May with a snapshot overview from the previous year. For 2020 data year, you will need to submit your OSHA 300 Log data by June 30 to ensure you data is included in that report.
The deadline has passed and I forgot to enter data. What do I do now? Contact safety@cleanpower.org and we will help you create a draft survey so you can enter your data.
What if I have data from previous years that I have not yet submitted? Can I still submit it? Yes. You can change the year and enter data accordingly.
Who gets to see the report? ACP members and companies that entered data for the report. All data will be anonymized and aggregated. The ACP Executive Summary Report will be made publicly available each year.
Can more than one person from a company enter data? Yes. Please coordinate with your company to ensure that only one survey per Industry Segment is submitted. We also send out data to be confirmed. At this time, you’ll be able to see if you have multiple entries.
Why is this report important? Why do I need to provide my data? This report is put together to create a safety benchmark for the wind industry so that we can compare our safety record against other industries. It also helps us identify gaps in our safety culture where further training is needed.
What is a NAICS code?
