Maintenance budgets are cut on protection and relay testing in good years and paid for in bad ones. The course sets out a working method for relay testing that participants can apply the week they return. Post-incident reviews keep identifying weaknesses in the engineering and maintenance work discipline that were visible long before the incident. They gain the ability to sequence improvements to protection and relay testing in an order their organisation can absorb. The content is relevant to those who own the engineering and maintenance work capability and to those who are held accountable for its results. Moving relay testing from written policy into daily practice is not achieved by a single decision. Participants test their assumptions about protection and relay testing against scenarios designed to break weak ones. The closing exercise tests whether the participant's plan for relay testing survives a hostile question.

Protection and relay testing: history, documentation and competence
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1How protection and relay testing actually fails, and how much warning you get
Record what was learned when protection and relay testing did not go as planned.
Name a single owner for each element of relay testing.
Establish what evidence demonstrates protection and relay testing is under control.
Set out the decisions in relay testing that require sign-off and by whom.
Session 2Making relay testing work when resources are constrained
Check that records of protection and relay testing answer the questions likely to be asked.
Verify contractor competence and method statements for relay testing.
Choose the maintenance strategy for protection and relay testing based on failure pattern, not tradition.
Assign responsibility for keeping documentation of relay testing current.

Agree what will be standardised in protection and relay testing and what will not.
Test the procedure for relay testing against a realistic scenario.
Arrange the handover of protection and relay testing so capability survives staff changes.
Confirm that those complying with relay testing understand why it exists.
Session 2Planning work on relay testing so it does not become reactive
Estimate the resource protection and relay testing requires to run as designed.
Confirm isolation and permit requirements before any work on relay testing.
Benchmark the organisation's protection and relay testing against comparable operations.

03
Relay testing: inspection, testing and acceptance criteria
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Reviewing relay testing when nothing has gone wrong
Establish who is informed, consulted and accountable in protection and relay testing.
Reduce the variation in how relay testing is carried out between teams.
Build the internal briefing that explains protection and relay testing to those affected.
Assign a criticality rating to relay testing that drives work order priority.
Session 2The cost of protection and relay testing and how to present it
Agree the indicators that will show whether protection and relay testing is improving.
Check that relay testing still works when volumes rise unexpectedly.
List the credible failure modes of protection and relay testing and the consequence of each.
Define acceptance criteria for relay testing in advance.
04
Relay testing: safe isolation and permit control
2 sessions · 8 points
Session 1Investigating the failure on relay testing that keeps returning
Investigate repeat failures on protection and relay testing to root cause, not to component.
Define acceptance criteria for completed work on relay testing.
Agree the smallest change to protection and relay testing that would be visibly useful.
Distinguish symptoms from causes when relay testing underperforms.
Session 2What condition data on relay testing is telling you early
Remove steps in protection and relay testing that add effort without adding assurance.
Draft the minimum viable maintenance procedure for relay testing.
Identify where judgement in protection and relay testing is legitimate and where it is not.
Set maintenance indicators for relay testing that reward planning rather than heroics.
