Safety on the roads

An equipment failure that posed a serious risk to occupational safety occurred when a reactor circuit breaker broke in August. Fortunately this caused no personal injury.
Fingrid is building an occupational safety culture in cooperation with its service providers. Proactive occupational safety leads to better work quality in addition to promoting business and a positive employer image. The suppliers’ occupational safety group established by Fingrid brings together service providers to develop new and good occupational practices in collaboration with the client.
A new type of Liekkiloukku (flame trap) cover solution has been completed at the transformer shield pool at Fingrid’s Ulvila substation. This is an innovative way to putting out liquid fires caused by accidents.
Turvapuisto – an occupational safety training park – was opened in Kuopio at the end of August. The park is designed as a practical training environment for organisations. Other safety training parks are located in Espoo and Oulu.
Practicing to prepare for cyber attacks is increasing in the energy industry.
The majority of occupational accidents are caused by human or unconscious errors. This is why the attitude and commitment of employees is decisive in terms of how occupational safety is realised at worksites. This year, the emphasis in Fingrid’s occupational safety development is daily practices.
Development of procurement chain management is a part of responsible corporate operations and its impacts can be seen locally and globally. Fingrid’s asset management day held early in the summer demonstrated that responsibility does not just happen – the contractor has to be active.
JYVSECTEC, operating at the JAMK University of Applied Sciences in Jyväskylä, has developed a realistic training environment where industry operators can train to prevent cyber attacks. Fingrid and Elenia piloted the training environment in the beginning of the year.
