New Standards for Power Engineering Facility Rating and Staffing

Have you had a chance to review the new CSA B56 draft documentation regarding facility rating and staffing requirements? This is a document that will influence every power engineer and could change the way that your facility is staffed.

I particularly find section 6 to be interesting as the proposed "Steam Boiler Facility Hazard Score (HS)" could influence the class of plant and supervision requirements.

Section 7 explains proposed experience requirements, which could force a longer duration of steam time required to complete each class of power engineering certification.

I recommend that everyone creates a login and checks out this document. This is meant to be a public document that will take user feedback into account as they develop the changes that could be the new standard.

Let's fire up the comments to let everyone know what you think and if you have any further insights to the proposed changes.
