TPSDI achieves this Safety Vision, by developing "People competence in safety through strong awareness and skills in safety processes and standards". TPSDI has developed a suite of safety training that inculcates safe behaviour based on strong competence in Safety.
Foundation Safety Competencies: Under these levels are categorized the basic and minimum general safety skills that all in an organization and its contractual workforce are expected to know. For example, the safety awareness and skills to identify and use fire extinguishers depending on the type of fire.
Critical Safety Competencies: Under this level are categorized the job-specific safety skills and behaviours that are unique for each role. For example, the safety precautions to be followed by a rooftop solar panel installer. It includes safety leadership or management skills required of a job supervisor or an employee leading a project. For example, delivering a toolbox talk specific to the hazards and safe work practices at a job site prior to the commencement of a job.
TPSDI's training enables people to advance through certification levels and acquire higher level
certificates as they progress in training and skill.
A minimum of 40% of the training time is devoted to practicing safety skills. For instance, trainees practice using appropriate fire extinguishers or practice providing CPR (Cardio-Pulmonary Resuscitation). In more specialized courses, trainees learn and practice using a full body safety harness with double lanyards to climb transmission towers and work safely at heights.
In Tata Power itself, TPSDI's comprehensive safety training has helped achieve key safety index measures such as bring down Lost Time Injury Frequency Rate (LTIFR), increase safety observations, reduce the numbers across a slew of measures such as safety incidents, reduce near misses, incidents, Lost Time Injuries, major fires and fatalities.
The Institute, with a proper training needs analysis (TNA) can customize and deploy training to meet the requirements of an organisation. TPSDI's training can facilitate transformative changes in safety practices across multiple industries.
TPSDI provides comprehensive safety training courses to workers and employees working in various Industries. The courses are designed to educate workers and employees on the importance on safety, hazard identification, risk assessment and mitigation measures. These programs cover different levels of the workforce in the industry and address a wide range of safety topics, from basic to critical safety. TPSDI has a robust and established process of identifying the skills gaps (through RPL) and impart training using hands-on, simulations and scenario-based training followed by Assessment and Certification. Overall TPSDI's Safety training program aligns with improving safety culture in an organisation by creating a safer work environment and reducing the risk of accidents, injuries and LWH of an organisation. Notably, TPSDI has trained over 150,000 individuals in various safety skills.
