The purpose of the course is to enable participants to return to their utility and lead the process of developing and applying a WSP in their home institution. By the end of the course, participants will be able to identify the scope and requirements of a water safety plan, understand how to set up a program, and know how to manage a team to develop a WSP which is feasible to implement within the constraints and specificities of the utility. In doing so, the participant will also learn how a WSP can safeguard customers, optimize operations and positively impact the environment.

Specific Outcomes of this Course

►     A team from the utility is familiar with all aspects of a WSP, has identified and compiled major components of the WSP and is committed to take it further within their utility.

►     An outline WSP is available from the course identifying key issues of the WSP and areas that need further development.

►     Participants are able to justify the need for a WSP to their utility management.A process is established within the utility to develop a full WSP relevant to the size and complexity of that utility.

►     Post course follow-up tracks the development of the WSP and supports peer to peer exchange of progress and challenges in development and implementation of the WSP.

An On-line training kit on WSPs is available for participants to replicate the training internally in their utility on www.gwopa.org

The course will be provided by experienced international trainers of high level, with an intimate knowledge of both local technical issues and international standards.
