2009 Queensland Work Safe Award - electrical safety winner

Stanwell Corporation Limited was recognised in the 2009 Queensland Work Safe Awards announced on 29 October by winning Category 5 - the best solution to an identified electrical safety issue.

Scott Hannay - Stanwell Corporation

The company is a Queensland Government owned electricity generator and through their thermal and hydro generating sites they contribute more than 1500 megawatts of electricity into Australia's National Electricity Market.

Stanwell Corporation employee Scott Hannay has demonstrated a way to help manage arc flash hazards by providing site specific information to workers through the use of arc flash registers and electrical panel door labelling.

The arc flash hazard management system provides electrical workers with information to make informed decisions on the selection and use of appropriate personal protective equipment including the use of flame retardant clothing.

The labels used on the electrical panel doors provide detailed hazard data in relation to arc flash energies helping to provide workers with a better understanding of the hazard in the workplace.
