Lesson 4 - MECHANICAL SAFETY
30 min.
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to reduce the risk of injury by acting safely in relation to mechanical hazards in a wind turbine.
After having successfully completed this lesson, participants can:
Solve the challenge of how to act safely when encountering the safety hazards of mechanics in a WTG environment (Ability, basic level).
ELEMENT 4.1 - WHY MECHANICAL SAFETY
Learning objectives:
The participants can recognise examples of mechanical systems and their relevance to CoHE (Knowledge, basic level). The participants can recognise the safety hazards of mechanical systems, entanglement with a mechanical system and moving and rotating parts in a turbine (Knowledge, basic level). The participants can solve the challenge of how to identify and avoid the safety hazards related to mechanical systems in WTGs mechanical systems (Ability, basic level). The participants can solve the challenge of how to identify and avoid the safety hazards of entanglement with a mechanical system (Ability, basic level). The participants can solve the challenge of how to identify and avoid the safety hazards of moving and rotating parts on a turbine that can pose a risk (Ability, basic level). The participants can describe the importance of working according to approved working practices (Knowledge, basic safety). The participants show interest in adhering to safe working practices regarding mechanics and act safely when working with or in the vicinity of mechanical systems or moving and rotating parts (Ability, basic level).
The instructor shall:
Show examples of mechanical systems in a WTG.
