d. Proper handling of at least two different types of loads (weight, shape) in at least three different manual handling scenarios simulating a wind turbine work situation with one or more obstacles (stairs, uneven floors and/or in a constrained space)
Note:
Appropriate mechanical lifting aids can be included in the practical exercises.
ELEMENT 6.3 - PRACTICE IN PROPER MANUAL HANDLING TECHNIQUES
The practical training shall be structured in such a way that participants gain practical understanding of the theory introduced in the previous lessons. Specifically, experiences and challenges that were discussed during lesson 3 “Risks and hazards” shall be reviewed and applied during this scenario-based training.
The instructor shall:
Explain safety procedures in the training area
Participants shall:
Demonstrate the ability to stretch and warm-up muscle groups relevant to the task
Practice and demonstrate proper manual handling techniques in scenarios relevant to the industry, covering the points in sub-element 6.2.2 and according to the Control Measures form
(see Lesson 6 Notes below)
The instructor shall facilitate debriefing:
Scenario-based training
a. Review positive actions observed during exercise
b. Suggest points for improvement
Formal assessment of knowledge (see Section 10.7)
Lesson 6 Notes:
Each participant will 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 (33.07 lbs). 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 (66.17 lbs) and is unwieldy, difficult to grasp, difficult to grip, with contents likely to move or shift (e.g. a rescue dummy).
