A power plant, also referred to as a
power power station and sometimes
generating station or generating plant,
is an industrial facility for the
generation of electric power.
WHAT IS A POWER PLANT?
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER PLANT
Nuclear
Hydroelectric
Geothermal
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER PLANT
Solar
Wind
Gas/Diesel fired
DIFFERENT TYPES OF POWER PLANT
Coal-fired
A coal-fired power plant is a thermal
power station which burns coal to
generate electricity by heating water
and turning it to steam that drives a
turbine connected to electic generator

MAINTENANCE
Coal-fired Power Plant
Plant maintenance is an execution
process of repairing or servicing the
asset to avoid breakdown
TYPES OF PLANT MAINTENANCE
Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance is a scheduled maintenance that is usually done
during a Plant Scheduled Shutdown
Corrective Maintenance
Corrective maintenance is an unscheduled maintenance that is usually
done during a Plant Scheduled Shutdown
Emergency Maintenance
Emergency maintenance is an unscheduled maintenance that is
performed during a Plant Ermegency Shutdown

SAFETY
Coal-fired Power Plant
Plant Safety encompasses the SOCIAL,
MENTAL, PHYSICAL well-being of
workers, that is, the “Whole Person”
Conduct
Preliminary
orientation with workers
safety
Conduct Daily Safety Meetings with
the workers
Ensure that every group of workers
has their own Licensed Safety
Officer
Actual inspection of each work
areas.
WHAT

DO?
to ensure safety
PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE)

Importance
To Employees
Prevention of Injuries and Illnesses
Reduced Stress and Anxiety
Career Longevity
To Employers
Improving employee morale and
Reducing workers' compensation costs
Enhancing reputation and trust
How do we ensure SAFETY?
We practice Indusrial Hygiene, it is the control
of hazards to acceptable limits thru following the
Three Steps to Control Hazards:
1. Identify the hazard
2. Evaluate the hazard
3. Correct/Control the hazard
Trivia!
HAZARD VS RISK
Hazard- Potential of an act or condition that can lead to
an accident
Risk- The Likelihood and severity of Accident Occuring
“In essence, Hazard is the Potential SOURCE of
accident while Risk is the CHANCE and IMPACT
of the accident”
Trivia!
HAZARD VS RISK
EXAMPLE You spilled your water on the floor made out of tiles.
Identify the Hazard and Risk associated in this situation.
HAZARD
Wet Floor causing less friction with anything it is in
contact with
RISK
Someone MIGHT slip on the wet floor and may cause
Injury
EMERGENCY
Preparedness and Program
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
Preparedness
Familiarize with emergency exits and assembly area
Serious participation in earthquake drills
Look around places where you usually stay, identify safe
places such as sturdy piece of furniture where you can
perform, DROP, COVER and HOLD ON
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
During Earthquake inside a building
Drop down to the ground and cover your head and neck
using your arms
Find a sturdy structure that can cover you from falling objects
Stay away from glass and light fixtures or furnitures that
might fall
Hold on to the sturdy structure and stay until the shaking
stops.
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
During Earthquake outside or in an open space
If you are outdoors when shaking starts, move away from
buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, do the
“Tripod Position”. Stay there until the shaking stops.
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
During Earthquake when inside your car
Stop as quickly and safely as possible and stay in the vehicle.
Avoid stopping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and
utility wires.
Earthquake
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
After an Earthquake
When shaking stops, look around. If there is a clear path to
safety, leave the building and go to an open area away from
damages areas, or if applicable proceed to assembly area.
If you are trapped do not move about or kick up dust, if you
have cellphone use it to call of help, if not applicable tap on
something or whistle so rescuers can locate you.
If you are trapped inside the car, turn off the engine and use
the carn horm to signal the rescuers
Stay in the Evacuation Centers until it is announced that it is
safe to be back to your house or office.
Typhoon
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
Before the Typhoon
Stay updated - Closely monitor weather updates through
legitimate sources like PAGASA.
Ensure adequate supply of emergency kits (batteries,
flashlights, medicine, first aid kits, etc.)
Ensure adequate supplies of backup fuels like diesel or
bunker fuel to operate generators or boilers if power supply is
disrupted.
Inspect infrastructure for any possible breakdown
Secure outdoor equipment
Review emergency protocols
Typhoon
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
During the Typhoon
Make sure everyone is updated regarding the weather
updates from PAGASA
Activate emergency power systems
Halt non-critical outdoor operations
Lessen or remove the manpower working on the field
Typhoon
Emergency Preparedness and Response Program
After the Typhoon
Once safe, thoroughly inspect plant and surrounding
infrastructure for any weather damages
Safely address any damaged components like power lines,
generators, transformers before bringing plant back online
Remove any debris around transmission lines or blocking
critical access paths to the plant.
Analyze typhoon response and identify any potential safety or
preparedness improvements for future events. Update
emergency plans accordingly.
