Reducing manual handling using suitable handling aids where possible
Planning of manual handling tasks using the T.I.L.E. Principle and a MAC tool – considering the load weight, maximum reaching distance and aggravating factors
Correct manual handling techniques
Practical exercise simulating the loading and unloading of a service truck. Use equipment common to a technician’s daily duties. Loading truck exercise should include a dummy to simulate loading a casualty.
Correct use of the evacuation/rescue device, including:
1) User inspection and test
2) Use of correct anchor points
3) Correct behaviour on ladder with PPE
Correct rescue methods, including:
1) Rescue of a conscious casualty hanging by a guided type vertical fall arrester, secured by their work positioning lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in a passive setup, preferably utilising a rope clamp for rescue 2) Rescue of an unconscious casualty hanging by a fall arrest lanyard (inside of the ladder) with the rescue equipment in an active setup 3) Rescue of a conscious casualty secured by their work positioning lanyard (from the outside of the ladder, with hip diversion, i.e. rescue line is diverted using the side D-ring located at the hip of the rescuer’s harness. This creates greater space between the casualty and the ladder). 4) The formal evaluation of knowledge of above scenarios shall be in accordance with the participant performance assessment form (example provided in the Requirements for Training Providers). The instructor keeps the participant performance assessment forms until the completion/evaluation of the BST Module. Training Providers shall have a documented procedure in place for dealing with participants not meeting the stated learning outcomes. If a participant fails to meet the demands, they shall attend a new BST Working at Height Module.
