GWO Basic Safety Training / V18 2024-06-24
Present and explain risks from working in awkward postures (such as: when the torso is twisted or bent; in combination with loads and distance away from the body) and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries from working in awkward postures
Facilitate an exercise covering working in awkward postures and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries, e.g. when working in restricted spaces, working from a ladder and during rescue scenarios
Observe the participant’s performance and give constructive feedback throughout the participant’s practice with a focus on:
a.
using safe techniques and appropriate planning
b. reducing manual handling by using suitable handling aids and work positions where possible
c.
the use of manual handling principles
The participants shall:
Take active part in exercises focusing on how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries from working in awkward postures and ask questions when in doubt of safe manual handling techniques and principles
Apply TILE principle when planning the manual handling operation
Reflect on the received feedback from performing manual handling when working in awkward postures in the best possible way
Each participant would benefit most if they participate in a practice scenario based on a wind turbine work environment
Note
Lifting various objects in the correct and proper manner. These can be of different shapes and sizes but shall not weigh more than 15kg
In teams (two or more persons if required according to local policy), perform a correct lift of a load that weighs no more than 30 kg and is unwieldy, difficult to grasp, difficult to grip, with contents likely to move or shift (e.g. a rescue dummy) The lesson elements concerned with manual handling should be practiced during subsequent exercises where the participants are performing exercises for rescue and evacuation from height and at any other time where they are handling equipment or props for exercises
The instructor should observe and provide immediate constructive feedback to the participants focusing on the following areas:
• reducing manual handling using suitable handling aids where possible
• planning of manual handling tasks using the TILE principle considering the load weight, maximum reaching distance and aggravating factors
