MANUAL HANDLING: RISK CONTROLS & PROPER MANUAL HANDLING
TECHNIQUES
45 min.
The aim of the lesson is to enable the participants to reduce the risk of injury by using proper manual handling techniques in a wind turbine like environment. To the greatest possible extent, the scenarios should include the challenges that were mentioned by participants during lesson 3. The key learning from the BST Manual Handling Module lessons shall be practiced during scenario-based training.
To successfully complete this BST Module, participants must be able to:
Discuss the risks associated with manual handling in the wind industry (L2 – Knowledge)
Demonstrate the ability to stretch and warm-up specific muscle groups (L3 – Skills)
Demonstrate the ability to use proper manual handling techniques (L3 – Skills)
ELEMENT 13.1 - RISK AND HAZARDS IN THE WIND TURBINE INDUSTRY
During this lesson the participant s’ experience and their observations shall be included and to the greatest possible extent this should be driving the discussion. When relevant, behavioural safety shall further be drawn into the discussion. The participants are motivated to mention any specific situations where they find it hard to appropriately use correct Manual Handling techniques.
Based on participant s’ experience, the instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about risks and hazards of Manual Handling relevant to the job functions within the wind industry such as:
a. Awkward positions
b. Forceful exertions
c. Repetitive motions
d. Contact stress
e. Exposure of local body parts and entire body to mechanical vibrations
f.
Duration of exposure
g. Frequency of exposure
h. Intensity of exposure
Lead a discussion about how to avoid the risks and hazards and improve safety while executing Manual Handling related tasks
