Maintaining system reliability through training strategy initiatives

Electrical power continues to be the economic lifeblood of cities in the 21^st century as customers continue to demand an increase in reliable electrical power from their utility supply company. The delivery of this service can often be measured as being successful only if it has a workforce that is trained, skilled and committed. At the same time a company´s safety performance can also be measured through well trained staff and the correct application of the knowledge that they have gained. Fundamental importances are to encourage trade´s staff to work at their peak which is most likely achieved by the company providing skill / knowledge upgrades from time to time. This allows the workers to perform to the highest level of safety, to be proficient in all tasks, in addition to crews becoming notably more efficient. With Live Line training being continually in demand, we have built fundamental components into the work methods during training, establishing a solid foundation and commonalities for the three methods of live line work. This has allowed the Powerline workers to further demonstrate their competencies and skills through measured performance indicators and observable improvements in safety awareness.
