MEASURES TO PREVENT INJURY DURING TRAINING

20 min.

The aim of this lesson is to reduce the risk of injury during training by ensuring that the participants are briefed in the control measures employed in the practical training area and to warm up prior to performing rescue exercises.

Note: This lesson is repeated from lesson 9. The intention is for the participants to practice and develop good habits of warming up before work.

ELEMENT 18.1 - CONTROL MEASURES AND WARM-UP

The instructor shall:

Explain further control measures for the specific training facilities and training to avoid injury during the training. Verify that the participants can explain the principles of operation of the PPE and equipment to be used during practical training sessions. Ensure that any hazardous energy sources which may affect the participants during the practical training sessions are isolated and locked out and that the status of the isolations has been communicated to the participants.

Lead a warm-up session of the major muscle groups of the body and the ankles, wrists and back.

Verify that each participant who is working at height (either as a casualty or a rescuer) during the following practical exercises is always attached to a backup line prior to and at all times whilst working at height. GWO recommends that a SRL is used as a backup line.

Participants shall:

Take part in the warm-up session of the major muscle groups, ankles, wrists and back.

Perform a pre-use inspection of their personal fall protection equipment.

Perform a ‘buddy check’ of another participant ’ s personal fall protection equipment

RESCUE EXERCISES

355 min.

The aim of this lesson is to give the participants the opportunity to approach rescue situations in wind turbines, to do a safe and correct rescue in wind turbines while using correct rescue devices and anchor points and to show correct behaviour on ladders with PPE. Furthermore, it will give the participants the opportunity to practice the elements of working at height whilst performing rescue exercises.
