1. Executive Summary
The National Electric Power Regulatory Authority (NEPRA) is established under the mandate
of Section 3 of the Regulation of Generation, Transmission and Distribution of Electric Power
Act, 1997 (the “Act”) to exclusively regulate the provision of electric power services to ensure
the supply of safe, reliable, efficient and affordable electric supply to the people of Pakistan.
Electricity supply is not only a basic necessity but also a crucial driver of the country's economic
growth. As the demand for electricity continues to rise across the industrial, commercial, and
domestic sectors, safety has become a top priority for the general public, employees, and
contractors.
As part of its initiative, NEPRA carried out the third round of HSE Performance Evaluation in
accordance with the Power Safety Code Section 7.48, utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire
of twenty (20) common "Assessment Categories" designed to gauge the HSE performance of
Licensees, regardless of their size, capacity, or technological setup. The evaluation covered all
NEPRA licensees involved in Generation, Transmission, and Distribution, whether in the
construction or operational phase. This included various types of power plants such as hydel,
thermal, coal, wind, solar, and nuclear, as well as projects by organizations like Water & Power
Development Authority (WAPDA), Pakhtunkhwa Energy Development Organization
(PEDO), Punjab Power Development Company Limited (PPDC), and China–Pakistan
Economic Corridor (CPEC). Additionally, it also covered power stations in AJK receiving tariffs
from NEPRA under Power Purchase Agreements.
The evaluation process is primarily based on documents, records, and evidences, submitted by
Licensees to assess whether Licensees’ HSE Management system is adequate, well balanced,
implemented and properly maintained. Licensees who were responsible for work-related or
public fatal accidents during the evaluation year, received a zero point in category # 19.
For all other categories, points were given to them based on the submitted data to
measure their continual improvement in other categories.
This evaluation aims to assess HSE Management system to protect the lives and well-being of
employees, contract workers, the general public including visitors and animals. An effective HSE
Management system serves as a crucial layer of protection against significant incidents or
damages. Incidents are the results, consequences or outcomes of the HSE management system
failure, either not available or not implemented. Despite the significant risks associated with the
power sector, it is imperative to assess and control these risks without unduly limiting the power
industry's contribution to sustainable development in Pakistan.

2. Purpose
The purpose of the Occupational Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) performance
evaluation initiative is to assess licensees' performance in comparison to the previous years, with
the aim of fostering continual improvement in accordance with the Power Safety Code Section
7.48. This involves identifying top HSE performers for benchmarking purposes, as well as to
identify organizations with safety deficiencies to provide them necessary guidance in order to
become a safer organization.
3. Scope
The performance evaluation was conducted for fiscal year 2022/2023 for Generation,
Transmission and Distribution licensees for their Occupational Health, Safety & Environment
(HSE) Management System.
4. Evaluation Methodology
The evaluation process primarily relied on documents, records, and evidence submitted by the
Licensees. Points were assigned for each assessment category on a weighted scale ranging from
0 to 5 points to rate the Licensee's performance as outstanding, good, fair, poor or
unsatisfactory, based on the quality and relevance of the submitted supporting documents,
records, and evidence. Points were deducted for documents, records, and evidence that are
unavailable, irrelevant, incomplete, not meeting the intended purpose or not of adequate quality.
NEPRA used the following points scale in order to rate Licensees' HSE performance.
Points 1 2 3 4 5

11. Conclusion
The higher ranking in the report does not guarantee that a Licensee's actual performance in the
field is the same as stipulated in the report.
Companies whose HSE performance falls into the poor category must take appropriate
corrective and preventive measures to improve occupational health and safety performance in
compliance with the NEPRA Power Safety Code, among other applicable documents.
It's imperative to remind that the Chief Executive Officer, Managing Director or equivalent
position is responsible and accountable for planning, establishing, implementing, maintaining,
monitoring and communicating the occupational health and safety of employees, contractors,
and the general public, as well as mitigating damage to property and adverse environmental
impacts, directly associated with Licensee operations/infrastructure.
