Safety from the System


At PPTL, we boast extensive experience in developing and delivering training programs, particularly in Operational 'Safety from the System' (SftS).

Our SftS courses target individuals engaged in activities requiring safety precautions within Power Generation and Electrical Distribution Systems. We guide participants from initial Safety Rules (SR) introduction to becoming proficient in hazard mitigation.

Our training involves simulations of potential scenarios encountered in generation
or distribution systems, ensuring readiness for real-world situations. Courses are tailored as either 'open' sessions for multiple clients focusing on general SR principles or 'bespoke' sessions for specific clients, either on-site or off-site, aligned with their operational SR requirements. These courses are integral to individuals' Safety Rules Pre-Authorisation Training Programs, enabling practical application of acquired knowledge across the industry.
