Blade Repair Standard / V5 23022026
The participants should always refer to the safety data sheets, technical data sheets, work instructions and relevant applicable legislation throughout the duration of the repair conducted in this lesson
Note
The participants should always perform correct segregation and disposal of waste produced during this lesson
Note
ELEMENT 24.1 - SANDING
Learning objectives:
211) The participants can explain health and safety risks associated with working with a sander and how to mitigate those risks (Knowledge, basic level)
212) The participants can discuss work situations of repetitive work with hand tools and explain the risk of short- and long-term injuries associated with repetitive work with hand tools (Knowledge, intermediate level) 213) The participants can take responsibility to reduce exposure to hazards associated with a sander, including: flying debris and dust, exposed moving parts at high speed, noise, vibration, and electricity, potentially leading to short-and long-term injuries (Ability, intermediate level) 214) The participants can describe how the surface profile affects the aerodynamic performance of the blade, and how blade repair work can change the surface profile leading to reduced performance and loss of production (Knowledge, basic level) 215) The participants can act independently in sanding filler material to match the surrounding aerodynamic profile following a repair, and achieve the correct surface finish for paint adhesion (Ability, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Lead a discussion about the health and safety risks associated with working with a sander by considering relevant hazards, including the ergonomic implications, vibration (such as hand-arm vibration syndrome), the dust produced, electrical hazards, flying debris, noise and the risks posed by high-speed rotating tools, and how to control these Demonstrate how to mitigate potential risks associated with the above listed hazards by means of body positioning, adequate breaks, correct PPE (such as anti-vibration gloves, hearing protection, eye protection, and respiratory protective equipment), pre-use tool inspection, and electrical safety devices such as RCDs
