The aim of this lesson is to create awareness of the risk of musculoskeletal injuries within the wind industry.
After successfully having completed this lesson, the participants can:
77) Solve how to identify typical symptoms of musculoskeletal injuries (Ability, basic level)
78) Show interest in the essential manual handling principles and how these can be used to reduce the risk of injury in their work (Ability, basic level)
Parts of the total learning outcome of Lesson 11 must be covered within the practical exercises in Lesson 12 in exercise introductions and feedback sessions where feasible.
Note
ELEMENT 11.1 - HOW TO AVOID COMMON MUSCULOSKELETAL INJURIES IN THE WIND INDUSTRY
Learning objectives:
79) The participants can explain common muscular and skeletal injuries related to manual handling in the wind industry (Knowledge, intermediate level)
80) The participants can explain examples of risks and hazards of manual handling relevant to the job functions within the wind industry (Knowledge, intermediate level)
81) The participants can explain the short- and long-term risks from exposure to; repetitive work with and without handheld tools, working with vibrating handheld tools, and working with heavy handheld tools (Knowledge, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Present examples of common muscular and skeletal injuries related to manual handling in the wind industry including:
a.
back injuries e.g. slipped disc
b.
muscle strains
Lead a brainstorm or discussion with the participants about examples of risks and hazards of manual handling relevant to the job functions within the wind industry and the principles of how to improve safety while executing such tasks. The brainstorm should cover the following hazards and why they pose a risk of short- and long-term -term injuries, disorders and occupational diseases:
