Blade Repair Standard / V5 02052025
b.
recognise and replace a worn-out grinding disc
c. safely use a grinder to accurately grind composite materials to reveal the fibre orientation, and create overlaps and/or scarf joints of the correct dimensions in each layer of laminate
During practical training, pose questions about 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 further procedures and risk-mitigating actions
The participants shall:
Engage in a discussion and share their understanding of the health and safety risks associated with working with a grinder, such as: ergonomic hazards, flying debris and dust, exposed moving parts at high speed, noise, vibration, and electricity
Take active part in a discussion on short- and long-term injuries from repetitive manual handling and possible mitigating actions
Practise the following safety procedures to reduce the risks associated with grinders:
a. select and correctly use the appropriate PPE for the task and perform a pre-use tool inspection before working with a grinder
b.
recognise and replace a worn-out grinding disc
c. safely use a grinder to accurately grind composite materials to reveal fibre orientation, and create overlaps and scarf joints of the correct dimensions in each layer of laminate
d. control health and safety hazards associated with working with a grinder, such as: ergonomic hazards, flying debris and dust, exposed moving parts at high speed, noise, vibration, and electricity In the practical training, apply their knowledge on short- and long-term injuries from repetitive manual handling and suggest actions relevant in the wind industry to mitigate short- and long-term injuries from repetitive manual handling
These skills and abilities shall be assessed in each of the following repair exercises
Note
SURFACE REPAIRS
180 min.
The aim of the lesson is to enable the participants to repair minor damage to the surface of the wind turbine blade safely and effectively.
