Blade Repair Standard / V5 02052025
208) The participants can discuss and explain work situations of repetitive work with hand tools and explain the risk of short- and long-term injuries associated with repetitive work with hand tools (Knowledge, intermediate level) 209) The participants can take responsibility to reduce exposure to hazards associated with a sander, including: flying debris and dust, exposed moving parts at high speed, noise, vibration, and electricity, potentially leading to short-and long-term injuries (Ability, intermediate level) 210) The participants can describe how the surface profile affects the aerodynamic performance of the blade, and how blade repair work can change the surface profile leading to reduced performance and loss of production (Knowledge, basic level) 211) The participants can act independently in sanding filler material to match the surrounding aerodynamic profile following a repair, and achieve the correct surface finish for paint adhesion (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about the health and safety risks associated with working with a sander by considering relevant hazards, including the ergonomic implications, vibration, the dust produced, electrical hazards, flying debris, noise and the risks posed by high-speed rotating tools, and how to control these Demonstrate how to mitigate potential risks associated with the above listed hazards by means of body positioning, adequate breaks, correct PPE (such as anti-vibration gloves, hearing protection, eye protection, and respiratory protective equipment), pre-use tool inspection, and electrical safety devices such as RCDs
During practical training, pose questions about the hazards and risks from repetitive manual handling and how to mitigate short- and long-term injuries from repetitive manual handling
Provide feedback to the participants and present additional procedures and risk-mitigating actions
Outline how the surface profile affects the aerodynamic performance of the blade. Explain how blade repair work can change the surface profile, leading to reduced performance and loss of production
Explain how the surface finish affects the adhesion of subsequent repair layers such as filler and paint. Indicate that the surface finish varies for different products, and that the required finish is detailed in the manufacturer’s work instructions and the technical data sheet for the product
Explain the different grades of sanding disc available
Demonstrate how to recognise and replace a worn sanding disc
