Abstract
EPRI is sponsoring an ongoing project to identify ´best practices´ that can help utilities to reduce switching errors and thereby improve reliable performance. A part of this project is an industry-wide survey to collect data on switching-related practices in the areas of personnel and training; planning switching; implementing switching; and incident investigation and reporting. The paper provides a summary of the survey results to date, and preliminary results relating switching practices to error rates
