LO2 Identify the types of injuries that may result from improper manual handling operations 

LO3 Identify safe work practices in relation to manual handling operations

LO4 Describe the duties that are placed on employers and individual personnel in relation to manual handling operations

LO5 Explain the importance of risk assessing manual handling operations 

LO6 Identify the factors to consider when assessing manual handling operations and identify ways of reducing the risks of injury 

LO7 Describe good handling techniques for safe lifting

LO8 Describe good handling techniques for pushing and pulling loads

LO9 Explain the training requirements associated with manual handling operations

This course was first developed in 2014 by the laboratory company Kystlab AS, which was our company name back then. The scaling and development of our company have included both mergers and shareholder changes, and our name is now Nemko Norlab AS – a part of renowned Nemko Group. We are still the largest, Norwegian owned laboratory company, and “Clean water offshore” is still based on our company´s year-long experience with water laboratory analysis, including potable water offshore. In Nemko Norlab the scientific know-how is further strengthened, and the service portfolio to the offshore segment expanded significantly. All together we now conduct over 100.000 routine analyses annually related to drinking water.

New in the 5th Edition

- As with the Covid-19 virus, the focus on the lethal shower microbe Legionella is increasing offshore due to the risk of disease outbreak. The training course has therefore been further strengthened to prevent Legionella disease.

- The course is also updated according to new recommendations for the annual sampling program, changes that potentially will lower analysis costs.

- This edition has also been updated in accordance with current regulations, including an important change in authority responsibility. The Institute of Public Health is no longer responsible for anything offshore.

General course info

 - The course is well illustrated to provide the best possible understanding and interpretation of the comprehensive regulations.

- There are intuitive and useful exercises throughout the course. The course is available in both Norwegian and English.

- Based on «Safe, Sufficient and Good Potable Water Offshore», the course highlights situations the participant typically may encounter in everyday work.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

We investigate to take lesson learned, implement preventive measures, and to prevent recurrence of adverse events. Investigating an adverse event is like peeling an onion. We start with the direct causes that are the most visible. To get to the bottom of the events, we must uncover "layer upon layer" to discover the causes behind. Technological development and new organizational structures lead to an increase in complexity, and it becomes more difficult to understand the connection between an incident and the underlying causes of an incident. This course presents method, organisation, and process for conducting investigations. The course can also be offered in combination with a classroom session.

COURSE CONTENTS 

• Description and classification of adverse events

• Organising an investigation

• Handling information and evidence

• The loss-causation model

• The MTO model

• The STEP model

• Reporting and follow-up

HOW WILL THIS COURSE BENEFIT ME, AND MY COMPANY?

After completing the module, participants will understand what inquiry is and to the various stages of the investigation process. Participants will also learn about how the investigation is led and implemented in practice.

COURSE DESCRIPTION

In a risk assessment,  potential events and consequences are considered. In this course, we focus on unwanted events such as failures and accidents. This could be, for example, a gas leak or afire at an oil platform, that equipment stops working during an operation in a hospital, or that an accident occurs during the execution of a work task. The risk analysis process consists of three phases:

1) Planning

2) Risk assessment

3) Risk management

This course shows how these phases can be planned and implemented in practice. There are many guidelines and standards on how a risk assessmentcan be carried out, and many are adapted to particular industries and professional areas. This course presents a general approach that can be used in most industries.

COURSE CONTENT

•Introduction:What is risk? What is the purpose of a risk assessments?

•Risk assessment and risk management:Description of the steps in a risk assessment, what is important to look out for in the various steps, and how the risk assessment can be applied in risk management.

•Risk analysis methods:There are numerous risk assessment methods that are suitable for looking at different issues. An introduction is given to some of these; Hazid/ course risk analysis, SJA, HAZOP, FMEA and QRA. It’s crucial to choose a method that is well adapted to the problem you are looking at.

STANDARDS REFERRED TO IN THIS COURSE

- ISO 31000:2018 Risk Management
