EVALUATION OF SAFETY MEASURES INSIDE SUDANESE THERMAL POWER PLANTS

This paper is concerned with the evaluation of safety measures inside three electrical thermal power plants in Sudan. It also presents valuable information about areas of power plants, at which safety is strengthened, and areas of weakness and where, more corrective safety actions are required to enhance safety. The paper also has focused on the occupational health of employees inside power plants and, how can power plants employees, be trained to be ever safety cautious. The tools used in study included: questionnaires, field Inspection, noise level measurement and interviews with key employees in these plants. The evaluation results indicated that the overall safety performance index – which is estimated to be 0.56 –is below the recommended safety index, and that safety inside thermal power plants in Sudan is an issue of a great concern. This requires the attention and direct intervention of higher authorities to tak
