PER-005
Keep Your PER-005 Program Audit-Ready – Without Rebuilding It
Maintaining a compliant PER-005 training program isn’t a one-time effort. Keeping everything aligned, documented, and effective gets harder as your systems evolve, your workforce changes, and expectations increase.
HSI helps utilities sustain, validate, and improve their existing PER-005 programs, so you can stay compliant, support your operators, and walk into audits with confidence.
Assess Your PER-005 Program
PER-005 Compliance Is Ongoing, Not One-and-Done
Most utilities already have a PER-005 program in place.
The challenge isn’t getting started. It’s keeping everything working over time.
- Training plans become outdated as procedures change
- Documentation gets harder to maintain across teams
- Operator experience levels shift due to turnover and retirements
- Time constraints make it difficult to review and update programs
Meanwhile, expectations don’t stand still. Auditors don’t just look for a program. They look for proof it’s current, relevant, and followed.
Built Your PER-005 Program? Here’s How to Keep It Working
HSI focuses on helping you maintain and strengthen what you already have, without adding unnecessary complexity or workload.
- Keep task qualification aligned to real work: make sure your reliability related task list reflects what operators actually do on the desk
- Make sure job descriptions are still accurate: identify whether the tasks and responsibilities for operations and operations support personnel have changed
- Close skill gaps before they become risks: gaps can quickly emerge as experienced operators leave and new hires arrive
- Simplify documentation and tracking: maintaining audit-ready documentation shouldn’t take all your time
Training Programs Don’t Fail. They Get Outpaced
Even strong programs can fall behind if they aren’t actively maintained.
Today’s utilities face:
- Increasing operator turnover
- Loss of institutional knowledge due to retirements
- Growing pressure to maintain reliability and avoid errors
- Limited time to focus on training program management
HSI helps you keep your program aligned with reality, so it continues to support performance, not just compliance.
