ELEMENT 12.2 - WORKING WHILE KNEELING
Learning objectives:
83) The participants can recognise the risks of musculoskeletal injuries from working while kneeling (Knowledge, basic level)
84) The participants can take the initiative to mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal injuries by applying TILE principle, safe work procedures and aids when working while kneeling (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Explain and present how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries from working while kneeling. For example: alternating between sitting and standing, organising work task between colleagues and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries when working while kneeling (e.g. by using knee pads and mats)
Facilitate a scenario-based exercise covering working while kneeling (e.g. cleaning, preparing rescuing stretchers and tightening bolts)
Observe the participant’s performance and give constructive feedback throughout the participant’s practice with a focus on:
a. the participants using safe techniques and appropriate planning
b. reducing working while kneeling by using suitable handling aids where possible
c.
the use of the manual handling principles
d. using e.g. knee pads and mats to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries
The participants shall:
Take active part in exercises covering working while kneeling and ask questions when unsure of safe manual handling techniques and principles
Apply TILE principle when planning the manual handling operation
Reflect on the received feedback in order to perform manual handling in the best possible way
