RIGOROUS TRAINING IS A KEY INGREDIENT
IN SAFETY-FIRST OPERATIONS. SOPHISTICATED
TECHNOLOGY HELPS ENSURE THAT THE
TRAINING FOR NUCLEAR PLANT OPERATORS
REPLICATES THE CONTROL-ROOM ENVIRON-
MENT AND SIMULATES CONDITIONS THAT
MIGHT BE ENCOUNTERED ON THE JOB.
PICTURED ARE TWO EMPLOYEES ON THE
HOPE CREEK CONTROL ROOM SIMULATOR
IN A TRAINING SESSION AT THE PSEG
NUCLEAR TRAINING CENTER.
Indeed, the people of PSEG have worked collaboratively to
build a comprehensive framework to promote best-practice
safety performance. The company has a network of Safety
Councils that foster teamwork, share information, and develop
new ideas and approaches to improve safety. Safety Councils
in each location meet regularly to discuss and resolve issues
and learn from on-the-job experience.
This concerted, systematic focus on safety has produced
strong results. In 2004, PSEG employees enjoyed their safest
year in the company’s 101-year history. Since 1997, the
frequency and severity of accidents have declined by more than
two-thirds.
Safety requires constant vigilance. PSEG is determined to strive
for an accident-free workplace, and maintain a relentless focus
on continually improving safety-first performance.
