OVERVIEWThe development of a work culture focused on safety is one of the most important elements to successful operation of any power plant, including combined cycle power plant. Without the establishment of a culture of safety, there is always the potential for everyday accidents to turn into fatal accidents. Most incidents can be avoided. Unfortunately, often times, issues in safety are not addressed until after there has already been an accident.

Both new power plant employees and seasoned personnel can benefit from this course which focuses on safety hazards prevalent in a combined cycle power plant. The course will provide attendees with an understanding of typical hazards and how to avoid them, as well as a more in depth understanding of not only the importance of simple safety procedures, like lock out/tag out, but what these terms really mean and why they are so important. By using actual examples, attendees will gain a better understanding of the importance of safety in the workplace for themselves and their co-workers.

LEARNING OUTCOMES• Discuss the importance of a culture of safety • Review basic combined cycle power plant equipment• Discuss how safety processes work• Gain exposure to safety procedures• Discuss past industry experiences • Review safety hazards in the combined cycle power plant, including, electrical safety, mechanical safety, and chemical

hazards• Explain the importance of reporting and documenting

WHO SHOULD ATTEND• Safety Personnel• Managers/Supervisors• Plant owners• Combined cycle power plant employees new to the industry• Power plant owners converting to a combined cycle plant• New combined cycle power plant owners
