Safety training
GWO Basic Safety Training / V19 02052025
The scenario-based training exercises should reflect the environment and the work tasks that wind technicians face on the job enabling the participants to practise how to mitigate the musculoskeletal injuries risks related to manual handling Scenario-based exercises must follow the TILE principle and include loads of different shapes, sizes, and weights. The use of manual handling aids must be considered, when planning the manual handling operation and must be included where relevant
Note
Note
Scenario-based exercises may be conducted as a coherent exercise, where several elements are included
Note
ELEMENT 4.1 - WORKING OVER SHOULDER HEIGHT
Learning objectives:
29) The participants can recognise the risks from working over shoulder heights (Knowledge, basic level)
30) The participants can take initiative to mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal injuries by applying TILE principle, safe work procedures and using relevant aids when working over shoulder heights (Ability, intermediate level)
Whenever possible, a work task should be planned to reduce activities above shoulder height
Note
The instructor shall:
Present and explain how to mitigate working over shoulder height and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries when working over shoulder height
Facilitate a scenario-based exercise covering working over shoulder height: e.g. placing spare parts and loads; bolt tensioning; reaching and rescue scenarios on ladders
Observe the participant’s performance and give constructive feedback throughout on the participant’s 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 the manual handling principles
The participants shall:
