[Audio] Welcome to the Tucson Power Production Safety Orientation..

[Audio] Here at the Tucson Power Production Generation Station we pride ourselves in providing a safe working environment for visitors, vendors and contractors..

[Audio] TEP is committed to providing you safe and healthy working conditions Compliance with this commitment is a condition of your contract or employment here at the TEP Sundt Station. This training is required every 12 months. It is the responsibility of the contractor, vendor, or visitor to identify if they do not understand English. It is a requirement that at least one person on your crew speaks fluent English..

[Audio] Currently we have Unit 3, Unit 4, ICT 1 and ICT 2 in service. We also have 10 RICE engines that are located just east of the plant. Units 1 & 2 on the north side of the plant have been decommissioned after 50 plus years of service..

[Audio] Here is an overview of the plant and locations of different departments..

[Audio] We now have 10 new reciprocating internal combustion engines. The 10 engines are located in 2 engine halls just East of the Sundt Turbine building. In the RICE engine halls the sound level may be extremely loud, depending on how many engines are in service. Double hearing protection is required at all times when engines are in service..

[Audio] While we do everything possible to eliminate or reduce hazards, we depend on all employees to be aware of and identify hazards or unsafe conditions in the work areas so that we can address them in a timely matter. In this safety orientation we will be discussing these potential hazards as well as TPP specific policies and procedures..

[Audio] Our Generation Station is a 24 hour operation, therefore it is imperative that everyone ensures that their work area is returned to the original safe state when the work is completed as well as ensuring that all potential hazard conditions are barricaded, straightened up, or removed prior to leaving at the end of the shift. The jobsite shall be kept clean and orderly during and after each workday. Good housekeeping is a necessary requirement for maintaining safety at job sites. Accidents and injuries are avoided and productivity is improved where good housekeeping is practiced daily..

[Audio] To ensure the safety and security of all employees and visitors it is imperative that you adhere to the TEP Badge Access Policy. All employees and contractors must scan in an out of all controlled areas every time, this is imperative for our emergency accountability procedures. We must know who is onsite at all times to ensure safe evacuations and accountability is accurate. If you cannot scan into an area, you must be escorted by a TEP representative at all times Access Badges Do not lend your badge out to anyone Report lost or stolen badges immediately to the security gate Keep your badge in your possession at all times Return your temporary badge to security when leaving the plant and recover your driver's license Do not buddy scan through the Power Plant drive gates, each employee must scan in and out each time.

[Audio] Here you can see two of the main entrances on the South end of the plant. The intercom is used to call security to gain access and when leaving. The Security officers will buzz you in and out..

[Audio] Driving and cell phone conversations both require a great deal of thought. When doing them at the same time, your brain is unable to do either well. For example, it's nearly impossible to read a book and have a phone conversation. While driving, this often results in crashes due to delayed braking times and not seeing traffic signals. Personal cell phone use is prohibited during work hours, during breaks only Texting or talking on phone is prohibited while driving No photos can be taken without permission of TEP.
