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.
ELEMENT 9.1 - 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.
