Chris, Might be a daft question but what type of power station? John

So, ccgt,ocgt, boiler? I suppose its not particularly relevant, I have 10 years experience in Gas/coil/oil fired generation units and 6 years working in the safety department. I suppose one of the major experiences I have had, is that of identifying weak areas within the SMS, persuading management of the necessary changes and seeing them through, as well as being part of the safety consultation process and behavioural safety groups, increasing and improving the safety profile on an aging site. If you want more specifics, feel free to PM. Rob

Chris Biggest single issue is probably outages. With your offshore experience guess you are familiar with the problems. The industry has mature systems for HV working, so that when you hear about a fatality or serious incident in a substation, probably somebody breaking in to try and steel the cables.

Auchie hi, Just to clarify, I believe Dimond36742, is referring to FMJL Current Transformers. Google has more if you are interested. As for the role, the power industry safety rules have evolved from the old CEGB. Very robust BUT if you're not aware of the differences to "Modern thinking" you may dig yourself into a hole depending on which company etc. In short permits may only cover "safety from the system" (plant isolation etc) and establishing "general safety" falls to the supervisor or similar. General safety does not always require a permit..... But the exact role, application of rules and definitions are down to the company. Seeing as the job title has "system" in it maybe you should ask to see a copy of the safety rules before the interview - at least find out the definition of "the system" Good luck, Jim
