Safety Simulators Introduction
Safety is a unique mix of managing people, attitude, training behaviors, tools, systems, policies and procedures.
It’s not a performance measure for the next year, but rather the performance measure for years to come.
Utilities that can manage safety will not only be ahead of our philosophy but will also experience competitive advantages in several areas, such as human performance, medical costs, and employee engagement and workers’ turnover.
The competitive advantage through consistent safety results is more important now than ever.
In the future managers will stand with linemen to ensure that safety is not just a priority because priorities changes; rather, it will be a value that will not shift. Safety consideration is always an added value to any organization that is adhering to it.
Youngwoo Ind. (South Korea) developed simulation-based training exciting solutions – in both of our Jubail and Yanbu branches – it reduces cost and increase safety in real learning environment.
