The aim of this module is to enable the participants, through theoretical and practical training, to use basic personal protective equipment, work safely at heights and perform comprehensive basic rescue from heights in a wind turbine environment. Furthermore, this module also aims to encourage positive manual handling and ergonomic behaviour and enable participants to perform manual handling tasks in a safe manner. This course is not intended to test the participants’ capability and aptitude for working at height, i.e. it is not a test for fear of heights.
Note: BST, Working at Heights & Manual Handling Combined is a combined module comprising the lessons and elements from both the BST Working at Height Module and the BST Manual Handling Module and is intended to be delivered in two days. The combined BST Working at Height & Manual Handling Module can be delivered instead of the two stand alone modules, where the combined course is delivered, then the participants shall receive two training records: one for working at height and one for manual handling.
This module should be read alongside GWO's Requirements for Training.
