Power plant safety Пауэ плант сэйфти

In the past several decades, power plant owners and industry in general have vastly improved employee safety. Numerous organizations that hand down safety requirements and regulations have been established, creating a safer work environment. Although power plants are much safer than they once were, plant employees still encounter many hazards, and it is up to employers to implement programs and policies aimed at eliminating accidents. Comprehensive training, detailed pre-job planning, and proper and well-maintained safety equipment are key to accident prevention, regardless of the hazard.

Nowadays power plants are much safer than they once were earlier but plant employees still encounter many hazards, such as electrical shocks and burns, boiler fires and explosions, and contact with hazardous chemicals. Michael Foley, an electrical safety instructor, think that it is mostly because there is the lack of common system for reporting and recording the number and type of electrical injuries and fatalities that occur in power plants or general industry. Moreover serious accidents such as electrical shock or burn are intentionally wrongly classified by power plants. According to the Electrical Safety Foundation International and most authoritative sources there are one or two deaths daily due to electrical incidents that costs about $1 million. It includes costs of lost productivity over the life of the employee, direct medical expenses and insurance premiums. Foley thinks that the only way to prevent such accidents is to conduct more frequent electrical hazard training; conduct awareness training to make sure workers understand all the hazards, including arc flash hazards, associated with the specific equipment; and most importantly, include a safety review during job preplanning. Another important issue is safety equipment. It should include the voltage-rated gloves and tools, flame-resistant clothing, shields and hoods in order to protect power plant workers from arc flashes.
