Safety training

GWO Basic Safety Training / V18 2024-06-24

The instructor shall:

Present and explain risks from lifting loads and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries from lifting, e.g. weight, grip, posture, and position of the load relative to the body

Facilitate a scenario-based exercise covering lifting different kinds of loads, e.g. liquids in containers, bulky loads, shapes, and unbalanced loads. The exercise must include considerations covering the task, individual capabilities, the load, and the work environment (TILE)

Observe the participants performance and give constructive feedback throughout the participants practice with a focus on:

a. the participants using safe techniques and appropriate planning

b. reducing manual handling using suitable handling aids where possible

c.

the use of manual handling principles

The participants shall:

Take an active part in lifting loads exercises 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 to perform manual handling the best possible way

The participants must also practise in teams of two or more persons (or otherwise according to local policy) to perform a safe lift of a load that weighs no more than 30kg and is unwieldy; difficult to grasp; difficult to grip; with contents likely to move or shift (e.g. a rescue dummy and liquids)

Note

ELEMENT 12.6 - WORK WITH HANDHELD TOOLS

Learning objectives:

91) The participants can recognise the risks from repetitive work and from working with handheld tools (Knowledge, basic level)

92) The participants can take initiative to mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal injuries by applying TILE principle, safe work procedures and aids when working with handheld tools (Ability, intermediate level)
