Auditing of Conformity and Security Level for 400/220/110/20 kV Urechesti Power Substation from Romania

Abstract

Increasing the level of security of any system involves identifying risks and establishing the means of prevention and protection intended to control them, and for this reason, the authors consider that the auditing of the level of safety and health at work is a very relevant means of ensuring a safe and healthy workplace, especially in the case of high and very high voltage power substations, where the danger of electric shock is very high. This paper addresses the verification of OHS, by "INCDPM Bucharest method" – The National Research and Development Institute of Occupational Safety - "Alexandru Darabont" – Auditing of conformity with legal and other provisions" - to a 400/220/110/20 kV power substation, for the purpose of verifying knowledge and conformity with legal and other provisions at the workplaces level and assessing the efficiency or failure of the OHS management system of the analyzed economic entity management, and after implementation it will serve as a tool to verify the functioning of the system. The auditing of the OHS shows that the power substation under consideration has an overall level of security close to maximum and a low overall risk level, which means that OHS rules are met and the auditing has had a positive effect.
