Electric Utilities

Continuous processes require a vigilant 24/7 workforce, but the high level of automation makes critical monitoring highly monotonous. Special attention must be paid to control room design and methods so that employee alertness and performance are at high levels on all shifts.

Challenges

  • Variable hours - Seasonal demands in power add complexity to the scheduling of employee work patterns. Added to this, typical power plant schedules include a relief operation to reduce/eliminate any overtime.
  • Rising employee healthcare costs - As the workforce ages, rising healthcare costs have become a central issue that must be managed to contain overall expenses.
  • Work environment - In many cases, employees work in areas/control rooms are not designed to mitigate fatigue.
