GWO Advanced Rescue Training Standard / V5 02052025
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 training area and warm-up prior to performing rescue exercises.
After having successfully completed the lesson, the participants can:
31) 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 isolations has been communicated to the participants
Lead a warm-up session of the major muscle groups of the body, the ankles, wrists and back. See suggested exercises in Annex 4
It is the instructor’s responsibility to physically verify that each participant who is working at height (including both casualty and rescuer) is always attached to additional fall protection. GWO recommends that a SRL is used as additional fall protection
The participants shall:
Take part in the warm-up session of the major muscle groups, ankles, wrists and back
Practise a pre-use inspection of their personal fall protection equipment
Practise a buddy check on another participant’s personal fall protection equipment
During the remaining rescue exercises on this course the instructor shall observe and coach the participants in manual handling planning, techniques, execution, and improvement
Note
It is important that the participants understand how to apply manual handling planning and techniques to their daily work environment
