Basic Safety Training Online Partial Refresher / V3 2023-05-02

The participants shall:

Share experiences on warm up activities prior to manual handling operations

Discuss advantages and challenges to warming up prior to physical work activities

Take part in the warm-up session of the major muscle groups, ankles, wrists and back

Warm-up activities should be engaging and motivating for the participants, and they should be possible to perform as a daily routine on the work site. This way, transfer between the training and the work situation will be ensured. In Annex 2 – Guideline for Warm-up Exercises to this BSTR-P Module, a guideline for a warm-up programme is presented.

Note

LESSON 4 - MANUAL HANDLING PRINCIPLES

70 min.

The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to use essential manual handling principles in a variety of relevant scenarios in wind turbine work environments

Guidelines on filters for lifting, carrying, and lowering loads, on how to identify low risk tasks, and on good handling techniques are presented in Annex 3.

Note

After having successfully completed this lesson, the participant can:

22) Take initiative and act independently in using essential manual handling principles to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury when working in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level) 23) Take responsibility for mitigating musculoskeletal injuries (when lifting; pushing and pulling loads; and when working in awkward postures) by using suitable manual handling principles and aids where possible (Ability, intermediate level)

The 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. The 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.
