Safety training
GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V5 02052025
Ask in-depth questions and facilitate a discussion about awareness of tethering and safe work in demanding situations, such as emergency procedures and drills, where tools and equipment may be hastily handled or misplaced
Facilitate a discussion where participants share the individual's responsibility for tethering and safe work practices in demanding situations
Support with further examples related to environmental hazards, such as:
a.
wildlife
b.
ice cover on blades, steps and platforms
c. effects of environmental conditions (e.g. sun-heated or frozen tools)
Lead a discussion on the mitigating actions and due diligence required when handling tools and items in adverse environmental conditions, including buddy checks prior to working at height
Present dropped object preventative actions where relevant, for example: buddy checks of tethering, toolbox talks, job safety analysis (JSA), take 5, DROPS sweeps and surveys, and proper housekeeping practices
The instructor must support and ensure that the participants apply principles for preventing dropped objects throughout the practical trainings.
Note
The participants shall:
Discuss in pairs or small groups and share experiences with identifying loose items that could potentially become a dropped object
Discuss and conclude best practices in relation to mitigating dropping objects and share these with the other participants
Share experience of work situations, where haste or other constraints, such as hazards from adverse weather and environmental conditions, did or could have led to poor work safety
In a practical exercise with different hand tools and other relevant objects, individually point out the following 3 points:
a.
tethering point (on the tool)
b.
tether
c.
anchor point or attachment point
During practical training scenarios and activities ensure that hand tools and other relevant objects are tethered before working at height
