Get some education : KSEB tells employees

KSEB has blamed the recent spike in electrical accidents to the low educational qualification
of its employees. The worker’s organisations have been conducting seminars and also celebrating safety month across the state to curb electrical accidents. All these awareness programmes will be of no use if the findings of KSEB  prove right.

Findings of the KSEB :

1. Linemen and Supervisors in Kerala do not have the educational qualification prescribed
by the Central Electricity Board.

2. The lax in supervision and the non-use of security equipment by the employees are the
major reasons for accidents.

3. As per KSEB rules, works on Transformers and HT(High Tension)lines should be supervised by a sub-engineer For the LT(Low Tension) lines , it should be supervised
by overseers. But as sub engineers are available only in Day time and the overseers
never go to the field so this rule remains in the paper. So for the replacement of
lines only the less educated linemen and the workers go.

On the wake of new complicated technologies in the field of electricity supply and
the increase in the number of HT and LT lines, adequate educational qualification to
handle the things is a neccessity. Many sustations as well as feeders pass through a
single substation. Besides that, the line gets additinal power from the generators and
inverters plus the electricity from solar panels. Considering the needs of the present
situation the only solution KSEB finds is to strictly implement the licence system and
education prescribed by the Central Electricity Board.
