IOSH Managing Safely for the Power SectorTraining overview
IntroductionManaging Safely for the Power Sector is a tailored course which tackles the general and specific management and operational issues facing power companies. Whether your company is an owner-operator or operating assets under an Operations and Maintenance Contract, this course will enable you and your staff to challenge existing perceptions of risk together with sector custom and practice. The course will equip managers with skills and techniques to manage safely and competently. As a consequence companies will be equiped to deal with the effects of increased outsourcing and contract management prevalent in the power sector.
The course recognises that managing people requires an understanding of change management and the role of business planning in effective safety management.

Managing Safely for the Power SectorModule 2: Understanding Your Responsibilities/The Legal Framework
Your personal action planner Tick
Are your departmental objectives aligned with the company’s policy objectives?
Analyse each objective by listing tasks required to fulfil each objective.
Assign task responsibilities to members of your team by considering their role, personal strengths and weaknesses.
Discuss the list of tasks with each member of staff you have assigned responsibilities to, either individually or in groups.
Update respective role profiles/job descriptions and corresponding staff appraisals.
Enlist the support of your local health and safety professional and human resources advisor in relation to managing change – where resistance is observed and fulfilling statutory responsibilities where these emanate from health and safety law.
Develop a departmental monitoring tool by adapting existing audit or inspection tools enabling you to focus on the responsibilities allocated to staff - as it may be too late if you discover failures during the appraisal process which is usually conducted on a biannual (six monthly) or annual basis.
So, what are your responsibilities as a manager?• Know your personal strengths and weaknesses.• Understand how this affects your team.• Understand the responsibilities that have been delegated to you,
and if you don’t, then ask.• Ensure you have a plan that is driven by the corporate business plan
and safety statement or policy.• Recognise that people are naturally resistant to change.• Develop individual techniques to overcome that resistance.• Communicate, communicate and communicate.• Ensure that procedures, especially new ones, are subject to
frequent monitoring.
