electric department gives every year. It lasts about 8 hours each time but it occurs at different times of the year. We study the plant and are trained about what to look for structurally both in the power house, the dam and on the dikes and all other areas. Oh and we get training on the camera system we use. They up grade fairly often and each time we get refresher and more training if it is really different than the last sytem or version. There is probably some I am not remembering right now but we do a good bit of training. We also work a lot of shifts. Rotate from evenings to nights. 7 day schedule 8hrs mon thru fri 12 hours on sat and sun. Then you get some days off unless someone else is sick or on vacation. I have already worked 324 hours overtime this year and will work more before the end of the year. I end up working alot but that time and a half is nice!
