I good technique I heard of on shut down is to position the helicopter so the blade going over the tail boom is going into the wind. This would cause the blade flap up and not strike the boom.

On passenger embarkation or disembarkation it’s a good idea to keep the rotor RPM in the green so the blade won’t flap down in a gust of wind.
