Safety training
GWO Basic Safety Training / V18 2024-06-24
All the above updates are based on a training need analysis of what a wind turbine technician needs to be able to do as a first aider. This analysis included a review of general injury and illness statistics from the GWO members among others origin from ON and OFF erection, service, lifting and transfer operations. In addition, the updates are also a consequence of the project scope given by the GWO Training Committee to increase the competitiveness of BST and BSTR First Aid modules e.g. by reducing the contact time, where working group has focused on combing instructional valid principles such as reducing the amount of (presented) information with a thorough analysis of the training needs to achieve the best possible outcome. Learning objective in lesson 1 & 2 alters to singular with possible misalignment with gender neutral (plural) pronouns Module 2, Manual Handling reviewed, including reviewed annexes for Warm-up and Manual Handling Risk Assessment
Substantial Changes to the Manual Handling Module:
The module is decreased from 7 lessons to 5.
Technical theory has been deleted and necessary theory has been transferred to be applied during the practical training. Warm-up. The warm-up lesson 3 focuses on building culture, and Annex 2 now offers an inspiring warm-up program that is possible to conduct on the pier and on larger vessels prior to transfer. Warm-up should not just be conducted in relation to the training. Warm-up is essential for mitigating musculoskeletal injuries, and a culture of always to warm-up prior to manual handling and other physically demanding tasks must be always supported by training providers. The elements in the practical training and exercises are structured in work related physical postures: kneeling, lifting, pushing/pulling, carrying and so on. The 7 elements are inspired from G+ reports, Equinor study on Manual Handling (2018) and work group participants studies and experiences. Applying TILE principle is now part of all practical elements. Annex 3 – Manual Handling risk assessment – the guiding tools are unfolded to be more user-friendly for the instructor.
Taxonomy alignment throughout the BST standard
The section Understanding GWO learning objectives has been updated to reflect the reviewed GWO Taxonomy Framework All learning objectives have been updated with action verbs that reflect the taxonomic levels (basic, intermediate, and advanced level) and the domain (knowledge, skills, and ability) without changing the content of the element
Action verb ‘demonstrate’ in learning objectives are changed to relevant action verb level/domain.
Learning activity “demonstrate” was changed to ‘practise’ because during training activities, the participants are in a learning process and abilities should be trained, not evaluated
