Basic Technical Training Standard / V9 2024-06-24
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion and ask engaging question about the safety hazards commonly present when conducting bolt torquing using electric and hydraulic tools, including:
a.
PPE (including anti-vibration gloves)
b. reaction arms (pinching, crushing, hand position, placement of reaction arm)
c.
heavy lifting
d.
dropped objects (tethering)
e. hydraulics (heat, fluids, pressure, hydraulic injection, hose coupler ratings, fire hazard vaporised hydraulic fluid)
f. electrical equipment (supply, electrocution, batteries, fuses, voltage)
g.
slipping/tripping
h.
counter holds
i. two-man torquing procedures (line of sight, communication, following company and site rules and procedures)
j. working with pump pendant (single and dual action)
k.
noise (in particular with loosening)
l. safety handles as a prerequisite to perform operation
During practical training on torquing, pose questions about the participants' knowledge and awareness of hazards and risks regarding the connection between the applied torquing force, the positioning of the participant and the severity of potential injuries from slipping and incorrect use of tools including tools selection, tool positioning and body placement
Facilitate a discussion on how to avoid injuries caused by incorrect use of tools or environmental factors. Provide feedback to the participants on their understanding of these hazards
Lead a discussion and ask engaging question about how to mitigate the hazards commonly present when conducting bolt torquing using electric and hydraulic tools, including:
a.
PPE (including anti-vibration gloves)
b. reaction arms (pinching, crushing, hand position, placement of reaction arm)
c.
heavy lifting
d.
dropped objects (tethering)
