Occupational safety training for working in a gas-fired power factory

1. Overview of Gas-Fired Power Factories

a. What is a Gas-Fired Power Factory?

A gas-fired power factory (also known as a natural gas power factory or gas thermal power factory) is a type of power factory that generates electricity using natural gas as the main fuel. Natural gas, usually methane, is burned in combustion chambers to generate thermal energy. This thermal energy is then used to convert water into steam, creating high-pressure steam to rotate turbines and ultimately produce electricity.

Gas-fired power factories often have flexible operational capabilities and can quickly respond to electricity demand. Burning natural gas as fuel does not produce smoke and particulate emissions like fossil fuels, but there are still some emissions such as CO2 and other gases. Some gas-fired power factories may be equipped with purification technologies to minimize negative environmental impacts.

Gas-fired power factories have become an important source of electricity worldwide, especially in countries with abundant natural gas supplies. The development of natural gas technologies and various applications has helped improve the supply of clean and efficient electricity.

b. Companies within Gas-Fired Power Factories

Within a gas-fired power factory, there are many companies and units involved in operation and management. Below are some key companies typically present in a gas-fired power factory:

• Electricity companies: These companies are responsible for operating and managing the gas-fired power factory. Their tasks include generating, transmitting, and distributing electricity to consumers.
• Energy companies: Energy companies supply natural gas and other materials to the factory. They may contract to buy and sell natural gas with gas suppliers.
• Engineering and technology companies: These companies provide engineering and technology services to the factory, including designing, constructing, maintaining, and repairing equipment and systems within the factory.
• Environmental management companies: To ensure compliance with environmental regulations, environmental management companies are responsible for monitoring and evaluating the environmental impact of the gas-fired power factory. They ensure the factory meets environmental protection standards and safely handles waste.
• Safety and security management companies: These companies ensure the safety and security of the factory. They supervise activities, develop safety policies, train staff, and handle security-related issues.

Additionally, there may be other support service companies such as transportation companies, chemical supply companies, and human resources management companies, depending on the scale and specific requirements of the gas-fired power factory.

2. Overview of Safety Training at Gas-Fired Power Factories

a. What is Occupational Safety Training?

• Occupational safety training is an intensive training course on workplace safety for individuals working in industrial, construction, manufacturing, and other high-risk sectors. This training is organized by An Toan Nam Viet’s occupational safety training centers at gas-fired power factories.
• During the course, trainees are provided with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure the safety of themselves and their colleagues during work. Training topics include labor safety regulations, identifying and assessing potential risks, methods for inspecting and maintaining safety equipment, first aid skills, and emergency response procedures.
