Each participant would benefit most if they participate in a practice scenario based on a wind turbine work environment. Lifting various objects in the correct and proper manner. These can be of different shapes and sizes but shall not weigh more than 15 kg. In teams (2 or more persons if required according to local policy), perform a correct lift of a load that weighs no more than 30 kg and is unwieldy, difficult to grasp, difficult to grip, with contents likely to move or shift (e.g. a rescue dummy). The lesson elements concerned with manual handling should be practiced during subsequent exercises where the participants are performing exercises for rescue and evacuation from height and at any other time where they are handling equipment or props for exercises. The instructor should observe and provide immediate constructive feedback to the participants focusing on the following areas:

a. Reducing manual handling using suitable handling aids where possible

b. Planning of manual handling tasks using the T.I.L.E. Principle and MAC tool – considering the load weight, maximum reaching distance and aggravating factors

c. Correct manual handling techniques
