WHS Solutions for Power Generation
Electrical safety, critical infrastructure compliance, and operational risk management for coal, gas, and hydro power generation facilities across Australia.
WHS expertise built for Power Generation.
Power generation facilities are critical national infrastructure — subject to the highest levels of regulatory oversight and consequence if safety systems fail. Omnisafe provides specialist WHS advisory for coal-fired, gas turbine, and hydroelectric power stations — with deep experience in high-voltage electrical safety, confined space management, shift worker safety, and the specific operational risk profile of 24/7 generation facilities.

WHS Solutions for Power Generation
Key hazards in Power Generation.
Understanding the specific hazards in your industry is the foundation of effective WHS management. These are the risks Omnisafe is built to help you control.
High-Voltage Electrical
Electrocution and arc flash risk from HV switchrooms, transformers, transmission lines, and generator terminals — often at 11kV to 500kV.
High-Pressure Steam & Thermal Systems
Catastrophic failure of boilers, pressure vessels, and steam lines causing scalding, blast, and structural damage.
Confined Space Entry
Entry into boilers, pressure vessels, condenser water boxes, and underground civil structures with atmospheric hazards.
Rotating Plant & Machinery
Entanglement, entrapment, and crush risk from turbines, generators, pumps, and conveyor systems.
Shift Work & Fatigue
24/7 continuous operations requiring rigorous fatigue management for shift workers across day, afternoon, and night rotations.
Chemical Handling
Handling of water treatment chemicals, transformer oil, coal dust suppression agents, and cooling system chemicals.

Hunter Valley Power Station — NSW
A coal-fired power station undertaking a major planned outage involving 800+ contractors across 6 weeks engaged Omnisafe to manage WHS coordination. Omnisafe developed the outage WHS plan, pre-qualified 42 contractors, deployed three WHS Officers across three shifts, and managed daily safety briefings for the duration. The outage was completed with zero LTIs and full compliance with the permit to work system.
Zero LTIs across 800+ contractors and 6-week major outage — 100% permit to work compliance.
