Risk Assessments: Conduct detailed Job Safety Analysis (JSA) for tasks like transformer installation, cable pulling, and switchyard gantry erection.
Permit-to-Work (PTW): Manage and audit the PTW system, ensuring all personnel have proper authorization before entering energized zones.
LOTO (Lockout/Tagout): Strictly enforce LOTO procedures to ensure equipment is de-energized and safe for maintenance or installation.
Electrical Safety: Ensure all tools and PPE (Arc-rated clothing, insulated gloves) meet voltage requirements and are properly tested.
Grounding/Earthing: Verify that temporary grounding is correctly applied during construction to prevent accidental energization.
Excavation Safety: Substation projects involve heavy trenching for grounding grids; you will oversee shoring and underground utility detection.
Inductions: Conduct site-specific safety orientations for all contractors and visitors.
Toolbox Talks: Lead daily briefings focusing on high-risk activities scheduled for the day.
Incident Investigation: Lead "Root Cause Analysis" (RCA) for any near-misses or accidents and implement corrective actions.
