The electrical power generation process is continuously exposed to catastrophic loss, such as explosions, accidents and burns from unexpected equipment failure or lockout/tagout procedures that are not followed. These procedures are in place to control the high potential for equipment and human error which can result in serious threats to your workforce and the overall well being of your operation. Keeping your power plant personnel competent, safe and well trained is clearly your most expedient route to risk reduction.
OSHA regulates the operation and maintenance of electric power generation, control, transformation, transmission and distribution lines and equipment under 29 CFR 1910.269. There are specific requirements for “qualified” employees who must be trained in the safety-related procedures that pertain to their respective job assignments and related power plant generation equipment.
This training plan is designed to improve knowledge and skills by providing an understanding of components, safe operation and proper power plant maintenance procedures. Areas covered include boilers, turbines, combined cycle, steam cycle, coal handling, environmental protection, heat transfer, water treatment, startup/shutdown, feedwater systems, furnaces, pollution control and safety, among others.
