GWO Basic Safety Training / V20 10032026
Scenario-based exercises must follow the TILE principle and include loads of different shapes, sizes, and weights. The use of manual handling aids must be considered, when planning the manual handling operation and must be included where relevant
Note
Scenario-based exercises may be conducted as a coherent exercise, where several elements are included
Note
ELEMENT 4.1 - WORKING OVER SHOULDER HEIGHT
Learning objectives:
29) The participants can recognise the risks from working over shoulder height (Knowledge, basic level)
30) The participants can take initiative to mitigate the risk of musculoskeletal injuries by applying TILE principle, safe work procedures and using relevant aids when working over shoulder height (Ability, intermediate level)
Whenever possible, a work task should be planned to reduce activities above shoulder height
Note
The instructor shall:
Present and explain how to mitigate working over shoulder height and how to mitigate musculoskeletal injuries when working over shoulder height
Facilitate a scenario-based exercise covering working over shoulder height: e.g. placing spare parts and loads; bolt tensioning; reaching and rescue scenarios on ladders
Observe the participant’s performance and give constructive feedback throughout on the participant’s practice with a focus on:
a. the participants using safe techniques and appropriate planning
b. reducing manual handling using suitable handling aids, where possible
c.
the use of the manual handling principles
The participants shall:
Take active part in exercises covering working over shoulder height and ask questions when unsure of safe manual handling techniques and principles
Apply TILE principle when planning the manual handling operation
