20) Take responsibility for reducing the risk of injury by understanding and demonstrating effective risk control measures (Ability, intermediate level)

The instructor shall:

Explain further control measures relevant 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 isolation 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.
