Auditind in Terms of OHS of Critical Energy Infrastructures from Romanian Power System| Chapter 4 | Research Developments in Science and Technology Vol.4

The direct objective of the conformity assessment is to examine the level of knowledge and compliance with legal and other rules at the workplace or organisational level, and the indirect purpose is to analyse the efficacy of the OHS management system at work. The government must guarantee that all household, industrial, and vital customers have access to electricity, which is delivered through key power facilities, to ensure energy, economic, and societal security. As a result, power substations have become key national and European goals, and OHS (human resources and secure workplaces in an ergonomic and healthy working environment) has become a critical aim for maintaining the smooth functioning of the national economy. OHS activity is currently subordinated to production or service activity, and OHS risk assessments and audits are also formally conducted by non-specialized personnel, resulting in undesirable events with an unstable effect, and the need for assessment (auditing) in accordance with legal and other provisions is intended to verify compliance with OHS rules and principles and to limit or prevent work accidents. This paper covers the verification of OHS to a European critical infrastructure using the "INCDPM Bucharest approach" - Assessment of conformance with legal and other provisions (auditing) (power substation), for the goal of validating workplace knowledge and compliance with legal and other laws, as well as measuring the effectiveness or failure of the examined economic entity management's OHS management system, and after adoption, it will act as a tool to evaluate the system's working. The assessment (audit) is part of the initial analysis prior to the development and implementation of an OHS management system with the goal of assisting management decisions, and it is also used after implementation to verify the management system's operation in order to determine the decisions required to ensure the system's continuous improvement.
