We take safety seriously at Hydro Tasmania. From the smallest detail in day-to-day operations to the very top - being one of our values. 

Our safety vision is “No harm to anyone at anytime”. This shows that we want to stay focused on keeping people safe.

Our work sites are varied and include office buildings through to power stations, dams, canals and green-field construction sites all with very different risks. As such, the requirement for training increases for those working in high risk hazardous areas. Hydro Tasmania has built on the good work of Tasmanian Power System Safety Rules system(P.S.S.R) to form a new Permit To Work system (PTW). Our PTW system provides better protection when working on both mechanical and civil assets, as well as electrical assets which are the primary focus in the PSSR system. This does mean that the specific PTW training is required to work on Hydro Tasmania sites.

Level 2 inductions – REFRESHER REQUIREMENTS

All contractors are individually responsible for ensuring that their training and induction are current before they arrive to work on a Hydro Tasmania site. This includes level 2 induction.

To arrange a level 2 induction, contact your Hydro Tasmania representative. You can download the HSE induction handbook from this page (under the “Induction” tab).
