Course Overview

Where high voltage work protocols depends on the vigilance of one experienced person, it is not yet a system. Safety performance on work protocols degrades quietly during periods when nothing goes wrong. The method assumes participants will be challenged on their handling of the practice within occupational health and safety and prepares them for it. Participants leave with a method for high voltage work protocols, not a set of opinions about it. Where this strand of occupational health and safety is measured, it improves; where it is only discussed, it drifts. It is written for people who have to make work protocols work with the resources they already have. What blocks progress on high voltage work protocols is usually unclear ownership rather than unclear intent. Participants take away a working set of documents supporting work protocols, ready to be adapted internally. It ends with a prioritised list of changes to the practice within occupational health and safety that the participant is prepared to defend internally.

Expected Learning Outcomes

01

Verify that contractors performing high voltage work protocols meet the same standard as direct employees.

02

Structure records of work protocols so that they answer the questions an auditor will actually ask.

03

Design a training and briefing approach that sustains competence in high voltage work protocols.

04

Select and verify the protective equipment required for work protocols.

05

Write procedures for high voltage work protocols that can be followed under real operating pressure.

06

Build competence and authorisation requirements for anyone working on work protocols.

07

Identify the failure points in high voltage work protocols most likely to cause loss, and control them first.

Who Should Attend

01

Risk managers assessing the exposure created by high voltage work protocols.

02

03

Facility and plant managers accountable for high voltage work protocols.

04

Contractor and subcontractor supervisors performing work protocols.

05

Emergency response and rescue team leaders covering high voltage work protocols.

Course Modules

01

High voltage work protocols: occupational health and long-term exposure

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Making near-miss reporting on high voltage work protocols safe to do

  • Reduce the variation in how high voltage work protocols is carried out between teams.
  • Prepare the evidence pack a regulator would ask for on work protocols.
  • Review whether high voltage work protocols is aligned with the objectives of the work site.
  • Identify where judgement in work protocols is legitimate and where it is not.

Session 2Getting other functions to support work protocols

  • Confirm that reporting on high voltage work protocols reaches the people who can act.
  • Test that protective equipment specified for work protocols fits and is maintained.
  • Verify permits covering high voltage work protocols are issued by someone competent to assess the hazard.
  • Confirm isolation and lockout arrangements for work protocols are proven before work starts.
02

Work protocols: competence, authorisation and supervision

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1What has to be agreed before work on work protocols starts

  • Investigate the last incident involving high voltage work protocols to root cause, not to immediate cause.
  • Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in work protocols.
  • Identify the hazards in high voltage work protocols and rank them by consequence, not by frequency.
  • Close out corrective actions on work protocols with a named owner and date.

Session 2Who is competent to work on work protocols, and how you know

  • Apply management of change to any modification affecting high voltage work protocols.
  • Check that lessons from work protocols reached other sites doing similar work.
  • Prepare the response for the most likely failure in high voltage work protocols.
  • Rehearse the briefing on work protocols that would follow an incident.
03

Work protocols: procedures, permits and practical controls

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Writing a procedure for work protocols people can follow at 3 a.m.

  • Map the handovers in high voltage work protocols between functions and secure them.
  • Close out actions on work protocols rather than leaving them open indefinitely.
  • Assess long-term health exposure created by high voltage work protocols and arrange surveillance.
  • Define acceptance criteria for work protocols in advance.

Session 2Auditing high voltage work protocols in the field rather than in the file

  • Decide what will be stopped to create capacity for high voltage work protocols.
  • Check the procedure for work protocols against how the work is actually done.
  • Rehearse the emergency and rescue plan for high voltage work protocols, do not just publish it.
  • Remove steps in work protocols that add effort without adding assurance.
04

Work protocols: leading indicators, audit and assurance

2 sessions · 8 points

Session 1Assessing the hazards in work protocols without turning it into paperwork

  • Verify contractor competence and method statements for high voltage work protocols.
  • Collect evidence on the present handling of work protocols before proposing changes.
  • Confirm that contractual obligations around high voltage work protocols are understood.
  • Establish what evidence demonstrates work protocols is under control.

Session 2Keeping work protocols alive after the initial push

  • Record who is authorised to work on high voltage work protocols and when authorisation expires.
  • Ask the people doing work protocols what makes the procedure hard to follow.
  • Make the reporting route for hazards in high voltage work protocols short and non-punitive.
  • Establish the boundary of work protocols and record what sits outside it.
