Fault Diagnosis & Repair: Respond immediately to electrical trips or breakdowns, identifying root causes, and performing repairs to minimize downtime.
Compliance & Safety: Ensure all work adheres to the Electricity Regulations 1994, Occupational Safety and Health Act (OSHA), and internal safety procedures.
Substation Monitoring: Maintain records, logs, and monitoring of system parameters (voltages, current, temperature) to ensure stability.
Safety Officer Duties: Issue Electrical Work Permits (WP) and ensure proper Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) protocols are followed for contractors/technicians.
Regulatory Compliance: Ensuring all electrical installations strictly adhere to the Electricity Supply Act 1990 and ST regulations.
System Monitoring: Conducting daily "health checks," recording meter readings, and monitoring substation performance through SCADA or manual inspections.
