Safety training
GWO Basic Safety Training / V20 10032026
Engage in answering the activity and share understandings about:
a. how to perform pre-use inspection of a rescue device product
b. how to rig the device onto a ladder stile and, where identified as suitable, onto reinforced ladder rungs. If the rungs are not suitable, slings must be connected around the stiles, positioned on one side and centrally on the ladder system, to ensure the moving parts of the device can operate freely
c. the principles of lifting angle, angle factor and edge protection how to rig the device in passive setup, and active setup with deflection or deviation applying a friction connector
LESSON 15 - MEASURES TO PREVENT INJURY DURING TRAINING
20 min.
The aim of this lesson is to reduce the risk of injury during training by ensuring participants are introduced to and understand the control measures employed in the practical training area and know how to warm up effectively prior to performing rescue exercises.
This lesson is a repetition of Lesson 9 with the intention of teaching the participants good habits of warming up prior to working
Note
ELEMENT 15.1 - CONTROL MEASURES AND WARM-UP
The instructor shall:
Explain control measures for the specific training facilities and training to avoid injury during the training
Verify that the participants can explain the principles of operation of the PFPE and equipment to be used during practical training sessions
Ensure that any hazardous energy sources which may affect the participants during the practical training sessions are isolated and locked out and that the status of the isolations has been communicated to the participants
Lead a warm-up session of the major muscle groups of the body, ankles, wrists and back. See suggested exercises in Annex 2
It is the instructor’s responsibility to physically verify that each participant who is working at height (both casualty and rescuer) is always attached to additional fall protection. GWO recommends that an SRL is used as additional fall protection
