WORKSHOP - RISKS/HAZARDS & SUSPENSION TRAUMA
30 min.
The aim of this lesson is to give the participants the needed skills to be able to identify risks and hazards in a WTG environment, including suspension trauma, and how to prevent them.
To successfully complete this BST Module, participants shall be able to:
Demonstrate the ability to work safely at height in a wind turbine-like environment (L3 – Skills)
Demonstrate that they can discuss and explain multiple perspectives acquired through group discussions (L3 – Skills) Explain the cause of suspension trauma, explain ways to prevent it and demonstrate how to reduce the risks if suspension trauma is suspected in a casualty (L2 – Knowledge)
ELEMENT 11.1 - USING THE BST WORKING AT HEIGHT COURSE
Participants shall:
Practice and demonstrate the ability to apply the skills learned during the BST Working at Height course in a wind turbine-like environment
Discuss and explain multiple perspectives acquired through group discussions
ELEMENT 11.2 - Suspension trauma
The instructor shall:
Explain how suspension trauma affects the human body
Explain how to mitigate suspension trauma using trauma straps (if fitted to the harness) or using a work positioning lanyard Demonstrate how to position and treat a conscious and unconscious casualty who is suspected to be suffering from suspension trauma Note: The class will be divided into three groups of four participants. The participants should use 10 minutes to discuss and generate ideas about rescue and emergency situations in the wind turbine environment. Each group should write the ideas on a flipchart that the instructor can display to enhance a large group discussion with the entire class during the remaining 10 minutes of the workshop.
