GWO Basic Safety Training V14.0
2021-04-01_TS_BST_V14
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to correctly use a backup line during practical exercises to reduce the risk of injury resulting from a fall from height. Furthermore, it will increase the participants ’ knowledge about self-retracting lifelines enabling them to correctly and safely use these devices if they encounter them in a wind turbine.
To successfully complete this BST Module, participants shall be able to:
Explain the different types of backup systems there are and how they are used, what length they come in, what the difference is between wire and strap (L2 – Knowledge)
Explain the different maximum angles that are allowed (L2 – Knowledge)
Demonstrate the ability to attach a backup line correctly to the harness, either in the A point on the back or in the A point in the front (L3 – Skills)
Explain the different places a backup line is allowed to be secured (L2 – Knowledge)
Explain the importance of using backup (L2 – Ability & knowledge)
Demonstrate the ability to perform a pre-use inspection of a self-retractable lifeline (SRL) (L3 – Skills)
ELEMENT 8.1 - TYPES OF BACKUP SYSTEMS
The instructor shall:
Explain that backup systems are required during training and that they might not necessarily be in place in a wind turbine Explain the different types of backup systems and how they are used, size and length, how wire and strap differ
ELEMENT 8.2 - DIFFERENT ALLOWED MAXIMUM ANGLES
The instructor shall:
Explain the different maximum angles that are allowed according to the manufacturers
ELEMENT 8.3 - HOW TO ATTACH CORRECTLY TO THE HARNESS
The instructor shall:
Demonstrate how to attach backup systems correctly to the harness (front and rear attachment points)
