Safety training
GWO Basic Safety Training / V20 10032026
a.
mobility of joints
b. increase heart rate to oxygenate the muscles (warm-up)
c.
stretching
The participants shall:
Share experiences on manual handling operations and related warm up activities
Discuss advantages and challenges to warming up prior to physical work activities
Take part in the warm-up session of the major muscle groups, ankles, wrists and back
Warm-up activities should be engaging and motivating for the participants, and they should be possible to perform as a daily routine on the work site. This way, transfer between the training and the work situation will be ensured. In Annex 2: Guideline for Warm-up Exercises, a guideline for a warm-up programme is presented
Note
LESSON 4 - MANUAL HANDLING PRINCIPLES
145 min.
The aim of this lesson is to enable the participants to use essential manual handling principles in a variety of relevant scenarios in wind turbine work environments.
Guidelines on filters for lifting, carrying, and lowering loads, on how to identify low risk tasks, and on good handling techniques are presented in Annex 3
Note
After successfully having completed this lesson, the participants can:
27) Take initiative and act independently in using essential manual handling principles to reduce the risk of musculoskeletal injury when working in the wind industry (Ability, intermediate level)
28) Take responsibility for mitigating musculoskeletal injuries (when lifting; pushing and pulling loads; and when working in awkward postures) by using suitable manual handling principles and aids where possible (Ability, intermediate level)
The scenario-based training exercises should reflect the environment and the work tasks that wind technicians face on the job enabling the participants to practise how to mitigate the musculoskeletal injuries risks related to manual handling
