ELEMENT 7.1 - Hazards related to batteries and capacitors
Learning objectives:
The participants can explain typical signs of distress and leakage found in batteries and capacitors and how to identify these signs (Knowledge, intermediate level). The participants can discuss the hazards related to loose batteries and capacitors and ways to mitigate these hazards (Knowledge, intermediate level). The participants can discuss the hazards of improper battery disposal and ways to mitigate these hazards (Knowledge, intermediate level). The participants can discuss the importance of disposing of defective batteries and capacitors in accordance with local legislation (Knowledge, intermediate level). The participants can discuss the hazards of short circuit in relation to batteries and capacitors and ways to mitigate these hazards (Knowledge, intermediate level).
The instructor shall:
Present examples of situations or scenarios from a WTG environment about the hazards from batteries and capacitors (fatality or major injury, explosion, fires, electric shock, eye injuries): Facilitate practise for the participants in identifying the hazards from batteries and capacitors in a WTG environment. Alternative learning activity to above: lead a brainstorm with participants about battery and capacitor hazards.
The participants shall:
Engage in the practice or the brainstorm and share understandings about battery and capacitor hazards .
The instructor shall:
Show examples (e.g. pictures or videos) of typical signs of distress and leakage found in batteries and capacitors. Facilitate practice for the participants in identifying typical signs of distress and leakage found in batteries and capacitors and ask the participants involving questions throughout this practice.
The participants shall:
Engage in practice (previous two points) and answer questions to share their understanding of typical signs of distress and leakage found in batteries and capacitors.
The instructor shall:
Give constructive feedback to the participants´ answers.
