Water Safety Plan Expert

Responsibilities

1.Project Scoping and Inception: Exchange background information between parties. Understand the formal and regulatory requirements and hence the obligations that must be met by this WSP program. Hold initial interaction to firm up the scope, timing, and refine the project plan. Schedule training and site attendance activities and organize logistics and travel.

2.Training: Identify trainees for staff, particularly any personnel that are to form part of the WSP Team and review their backgrounds and starting skill levels. Develop training materials, adapted from and aligned to WHO guidance, and tailored to suit the local infrastructure and legislative context, and to be understood by the WSP team given their backgrounds and skill levels. Deliver in-person training over two days using a workshop style interactive problem-based training approach, including self-test exercises to help engage the group. Certify the training for those that were able to attend.

3.Identify existing control measures, and note improvements required to reduce risks to acceptable levels if there are shortfalls, and document the validation of the process controls. Summaries operational monitoring strategies for control measures, including setting target criteria and critical limits. This will be set out as process control (monitoring, target, limit, corrective action) in simple format for operators. Develop the verification monitoring program for water quality, customer satisfaction, and regulatory compliance. Support development of asset and infrastructure monitoring and management and Standard Operational Procedures (SOPs).

4.Develop supporting programs, such as training, education, asset management, inspection and preventive maintenance of processes and equipment (including calibration of monitoring devices), and material and chemical selection and QA. Develop the continuous improvement and revision process.

5.Produce the WSP manual and supporting documents to a standard suitable for submission to the public government regulator and auditing department. The WSP manual will be constructed in a simple, straightforward context so as to ensure that it will be easily implemented by the WSP team.
