11.1 Aims and objectives of the BST Working at Heights & Manual Handling Module
The aim of this module is to qualify the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment and perform safe work at heights and safe and comprehensive basic rescue from heights. Furthermore, to encourage positive manual handling and ergonomic behaviour, encourage participants to consider alternatives to manual handling through planning and to train participants ’ ability to perform Manual Handling tasks in a safe manner in the wind turbine industry/environment.
The BST Working at Height with Manual Module shall ensure that:
1) The participants are able to demonstrate knowledge of hazards and risks associated with working at height specific to a wind turbine generator (WTG) (L2 – Knowledge) 2) The participants are able to demonstrate understanding of current national and regional legislation regarding Working at Height (L2 – Knowledge) 3) The participants are able to demonstrate correct identification of PPE, including identification of European/Global standard markings e.g. harness, hard hat, lanyards, etc. (L3 – Skills) 4) The participants are able to demonstrate the knowledge and skills to correctly perform pre-use inspection, service, store and correctly fit relevant PPE, e.g. harness, fall arrest lanyards, guided type fall arrest devices and work positioning lanyards (L2 – Knowledge & L3 – Skills) 5) The participants are able to demonstrate correct use of the relevant PPE, e.g. harnesses fall arrest lanyards, guided type fall arresters and work positioning lanyards. This includes correct identification of anchor points and correct conduct on ladder (L3 – Skills)
6) The participants are able to demonstrate correct use of evacuation devices (L3 – Skills)
7) The participants are able to demonstrate how to approach rescue situations in WTGs and use rescue equipment efficiently (L3 – Ability and Skills) 8) The participants are able to demonstrate a problem-solving approach to Manual Handling in a wind turbine environment (L3 – Skills) 9) The participants are able to demonstrate Manual Handling risk reduction techniques (L3 – Skills) 10) The participants are able to identify aspects of their job tasks that could increase their risk of developing muscular/skeletal injuries (L2 – Knowledge) 11) The participants are able to demonstrate understanding of the importance of carrying out work duties in a safe and sound manner in accordance with the legislative requirements of their geographic work location (L2 – Knowledge) 12) The participants are able to demonstrate understanding of safe practices of Manual Handling, including the correct handling of equipment (L2 – Knowledge)
