Top 3 Worker Safety Considerations for Electric Utilities

Utilities Tech Outlook | Friday, June 12, 2020

Tweet

Advanced technologies are fine-tuning worker safety measures used in the electric energy industry.

FREMONT, CA: It is not shocking that workplace safety is an ongoing challenge for the electric energy industry. Hazards include falls, electrocution, heavy equipment accidents, exposure to toxic fumes and flammable gases, and more. If safety measures are not established and reinforced, these hazards can quickly turn deadly. Today, the considerations that are used to develop and improve worker safety are different from those used previously. To ensure worker safety, electric utilities need to tackle the issues with a dynamic approach, and the following list of considerations can come to help.

Zero Injury Approach

Today, it is essential for electric energy companies to work towards eliminating injuries. Even though no firm can guarantee zero injuries to workers, the approach can significantly reduce safety concerns and avoid mishappenings. Technological interventions can be incorporated to train workers and provide safety across departments. There is always a scope to implement a zero-injury strategy.

Training Using Advanced Methodologies

Top Electric Utility Solution CompaniesThe monumental shift that electric energy facilities are undergoing has made safety a top priority for firms. As conventional systems get phased out, the safety training that workers have had is also losing relevance. To guarantee that the workforce understands safety, companies need to conduct training. Training using advanced approaches like virtualization will assist in updating the workforce regarding the evolving safety scenarios in the working environments.

Relying on Technology Solutions

Manually monitoring all aspects of worker safety is inefficient and time-consuming. The new approach to worker safety should involve technology solutions. Today it is possible to decide the probability of hazards and monitor risk-prone operations through the lens of worker safety. Advanced technology solutions allow electric energy companies to optimize safety management, expedite safety-related decision-making, and enhance visibility and controls.
