Risks Assessment in Terms of Electrical Safety for Power Substation from National Power Grid

Abstract

The goal of occupational health and safety in the area of industrial safety is to have the national industry with a proper operating state, an ergonomic, optimal, and healthy work environment, safe workers and workplaces, and industrial process safety, as well as to limit and mitigate any unforeseen situation caused by events that could have a negative impact on occupational health and safety. The level of security for a workplace shall be inversely proportional to the level of risk. The current article examines the risk of occupational health and safety in a cross-border 400/220 kV power substation connected to the European power grid, which has been identified and designated as European essential infrastructure. The risk/safety levels are established in a quantitative manner using the INCDPM Bucharest technique, which is based on a systematic analysis and the assessment of risks of accidents and professional diseases. The method's application results in a workplace assessment sheet that includes the power substation's overall risk rating and serves as the foundation for a plan to prevent accidents and occupational diseases within the investigated power substation.
