Pressure Fluid Safety module

Why do individuals NOT seek prompt specialised medical attention after suffering a pressure fluid incident? How could it be ensured that all individuals will seek prompt specialised medical attention after suffering a pressure fluid incident in the participants opinion? Consequences of suffering a pressure fluid incident and not receiving prompt specialised medical attention.

HAZARDOUS PRESSURE FLUID SCENARIOS

180 min

The aim of the lesson is to enable the participants to support and care for themselves and others while working with and in the vicinity of pressure fluids in the wind industry in a variety of scenarios in wind turbine work environments. To the greatest possible extent, the scenarios must challenge participants to take responsibility for work with, or in the vicinity of, pressure fluids is performed safely.

After having successfully completed this lesson, participants can:

Act independently in selecting and using safe work practices to mitigate the hazards related to working around pressure fluids (Ability, intermediate level). Act independently in treating all pressure systems as pressurized until a safe work condition has been established (Ability, intermediate level).

Take responsibility for establishing a safe work condition (Ability, intermediate level).

The instructor shall:

Explain safety procedures in the training area.

Facilitate scenario-based practice where each participant must practise through relevant scenarios related to hydraulics (oils under pressure) with varying degree of complexity and fading instructor guidance and support: a. Establishing and maintaining a safe work condition. As a minimum each participant shall practise: Preparing for and planning the work. Pre-task briefings. Selecting and using the correct PPE for a given task.

Pre-use check on pressure fluid test equipment and hoses. Safe isolation and safe dissipation of pressure in a pressure system. Identifying and mitigating pressure fluid hazards such as trapped pressure. Identifying deranged equipment.
