Operational Safety Management at Point Lepreau Generating Station

Abstract

The objective of Operational Safety Management is to minimize the risks associated with operation of the Station. This paper presents our views on what constitutes safety, reviews the nature of problems faced by station operations staff and the tools available to deal with these problems. The dynamic nature of safety problems and thus the methods required to manage them are explained. Examples are given of some recently experienced problems and the types of procedural changes being considered to better address operational problems in the future.
