Abstract:
This study aims to reveal the extent of application of the requirements of the occupational health and safety management system (ISO45001:2018) in the thermal station. The problem is reflected in the weak interest of the thermal station in occupational health and safety, which workers should have a safe working environment free from occupational risks and diseases through the application of an efficient system for occupational health and safety management, which leads to an increase in the efficiency and productivity of workers. To reach the scientific facts, I adopted the case study approach, which includes observation, field coexistence, and direct meetings, in addition to the checklist prepared by the British Standards Organization (BSI). The results of the study show that there is a gap between the actual reality of the occupational health and safety management system in the thermal station and the requirements of the occupational health and safety management system (ISO45001:2018). The evaluation results showed a total gap of (34.8%). Occupational health and safety is heading towards the permanence of the work of secondary stations for energy production and distribution networks, and the provision of services to citizens.
