DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODELgerogepatton
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Describe how the company health and safety policy works and the roles people play.
You should stress that while much of the following will cover what a principal contractor
will do, there is a legal duty on individuals to contribute to safe working and a safe
workplace.
5. Health, Safety and
Environmental Policy
• We are committed to protecting the health and safety
people working at or visiting our site
of all
• We plan, manage, conduct and supervise all our work in
compliance with legislation and best practice
We want to ensure that all workers have a clear
understanding of their responsibilities along with that of
the company

6. Explain to inductees the importance of site inductions as all sites are different and have a
wide range of hazards which will change as the site develops.
Explain that this site induction is specific to this site.
Ask inductees to pay attention for the next few minutes.
7. Site Inductions
• You have probably gone through hundreds of site
inductions and will probably go through hundreds more
• The induction is important as

with information on the current hazards of the site and tells
you about the site rules
Please pay attention for the next few minutes
8. Explain to the inductees the requirement to observe site specific elements appropriate to
their own work activities and/or site wide hazards.
the following;
These may include but not be limited to
Open Excavations, Work at Height, Overhead Power Lines, Confined Spaces,
Contaminated Land, Excessive Vehicle Movements, Traffic Management Systems, Fire
Risks.
Ensure that inductees are made aware of specific requirements for the production of risk
assessments and method statements where specific hazards are identified.
Make inductees aware of areas of work that will require specific authorisation to proceed
such as a Permit to Work.
Ensure inductees are made aware of restricted areas and the reasons for the control
measures in place.
10. Describe the type of situations that you might expect to require evacuation for your site.
Have a site layout plan available.
Ensure that inductees know what the alarm sounds like on the site and how to raise it.
Ensure that they know the different routes (KEEP THEM CLEAR) that they may have to
use to leave the site and where they should assemble for a role call.
Ensure that they know where fire fighting equipment is situated, that they are trained to use
any fire equipment and that they should only attempt to fight small fires, have a clear escape
route and only after the alarm has been raised.
Stress prevention and give examples of ignition sources.

16. Ensure that all inductees are made fully aware of the site procedure for recording who is on
site at any given time.
Explain to them that the main purpose of this is to ensure that all persons are accounted for
in the event of an emergency situation, not as a timekeeping tool.
Explain that any person not accounted for in an emergency will be treated as missing and
may put emergency workers at risk by looking for someone who isn’t there.
Explain that failure to comply with this requirement may result in disciplinary action being
taken against offenders.
17. Who’s on site
Please ensure
and out of the
you sign in
site - if you
do not, we will not know
you are here for security
and emergency purposes
18. Show where facilities are on site plan.
Reinforce that while management have the responsibility to provide suitable and sufficient
welfare facilities workers have a responsibility to look after facilities and report any
damage or vandalism.
Leave toilets and canteens as you would wish to find them.
Be aware of first aid procedures for the site and who to contact/where to go for help.
20. Stress the importance of good housekeeping to prevent slips, trips and falls and remove
material that could fuel fires. A high number of accidents occur on construction sites due
to workers tripping over rubbish and waste. Failing to ensure a tidy workplace is as unsafe
and could cause the site to be closed down.
Cover any waste management requirements i.e. location of skips, disposal requirements.
Discuss any environmental issues for the site e.g. chemicals, smoke, noise or even wildlife.
21. Always clear up your own rubbish
“A Clean site is a safe site”
22. All waste should be disposed of in the correct skips.
Under no circumstances shall liquid waste, such as paints or solvents, be allowed to soak
into the ground or be poured down drains. This is ‘hazardous waste’ and should be
disposed of in line with current legislation.
Bonfires shall not be conducted on site.
23. Environment & Waste Disposal
All waste should be disposed of in the correct
skips
• Under no circumstances shall liquid waste, such
paints or solvents, be allowed to soak into the
ground or be poured down drains. This is

you must consume these in your canteen
26. Ensure that inductees are made aware of the different types of signage, their colour codings
and meanings.
Red
Give examples where appropriate:
Prohibitive (Must not do)
No Smoking, No unauthorised entry, Do not touch, No vehicles, etc.
Blue Mandatory (Must do)

condition required.
the
Explain that some signs may contain a combination of two or more conditions for example;
Danger LPG (yellow) No smoking (Red).
Please note that fire precautions equipment may also be depicted by a red sign.
27. Signs on Site
•
•
•
Always comply with safety signage
Read the labels on containers before using
Use any safety precautions required
any substances
28. Explain to inductees the importance of reporting for work in a fit state. It is not only their
safety that is at risk but those around them who could be affected by what they do.
Explain that any person reporting for duty under the influence will be treated very harshly
and that removal from site is not just a threat.
Make inductees aware of the Company Drug and Alcohol policy (if appropriate) and inform
them of the procedures for testing and counselling.
Ask the inductees if any of them are on medication for a specific medical condition which
may impair their performance to make this known to their manager so that appropriate
measures can be put in place.
29. Drugs and Alcohol
• Any persons caught in possession of or
under the influence of drugs or alcohol
will be removed from site
• If you are on drugs for any medical
your supervisor at
reason, please inform
once
30. These may be a hazard if someone is trying to shout for your attention
31. Stress that horseplay on site will not be tolerated and could lead to dismissal and the
incident being reported to the police or HSE as this could be seen as assault.
Example:
On one site a worker flicked a lit match at a colleague as a joke. Unfortunately the man’s
overalls had inflammable liquid spilled on them and he ended up with serious burns.
Stress the need for common sense!!
33. PPE means all equipment (including clothing affording protection against the weather) which is intended to be worn
or held by a person at work and which protects him against one or more risks to his health or safety.
PPE should be regarded as a ‘last resort’ when considering control measures. Other methods should be considered
and used that will reduce or eliminate risk to injury. However, where PPE is the only effective means of controlling
the risks of injury or ill health, then employers must ensure that PPE is available.
Employers must assess the work being undertaken and the environment his employees will operate in when
determining the appropriate PPE to be worn. Example: - A typical construction/building site may require workers to
wear a Hard Hat, Coveralls, Safety Footwear, Gloves, Eye Protection and High Visibility Vest. These must be
provided free of any charge to the employee.
Main Contractors must check that all subcontractors are conforming by providing PPE for all their employees (those
who are self-employed for tax reasons, but who otherwise work in an employee – employer relationship are also
entitled to receive PPE) free of charge.
Risk Assessments must also highlight any additional PPE requirement from the above example depending on the
particular hazards so that appropriate PPE is issued. This also must be provided free of charge.
Employees should be made aware of their responsibility to wear the PPE appropriately, take care of equipment and
report any defects. They should also be informed that if they do not wear or misuse any PPE that has been
appropriately issued that this could lead to disciplinary action. This equipment is provided for their protection.
34. Personal Protective Equipment
• Look after your P.P.E. and always wear it when
required
• Please ask your supervisor to supply these items as and
when required
35. You will only be allowed to use plant and equipment where trained and authorised to do
so.
Stress that equipment must be fit for
that any defects must be reported.

Consider the hazards from:
•electricity
•moving parts / sharp edges
•fuels
•noise
•vibration
•dust / flying debris
•heat / cold

correctly…they are YOUR responsibility
equipment
37. Stress working at height is the biggest single cause of construction fatalities each year with
40-50% of the total each year.
Describe the kind of height work on the site and the controls required using the following
slides to stress main points.
38. Working at height
• Use secure platforms
edge protection
with proper
• Protect holes, leading edges and
fragile materials
Consider weather conditions
If in doubt - speak to your
supervisor

39. Explain that those who are to erect or alter scaffolding and towers should ensure that the site
office has a copy of their training records and those persons should be authorised by the site
accordingly.
Discuss the issues of working at low levels and the use of trestles, joiners stools and ‘hop-
ups’ etc. Confirm the site’s policy on the use of these.
40. Working at height
Only trained operatives are
allowed to erect alter or
dismantle scaffolding or mobile
towers
Always ensure alloy towers and system scaffolds are erected to
manufacturers build guide
the
41. Fall arrest equipment includes:
•Safety nets
•Crash Decks
•Air bags
•Bean bags
•Harnesses
•Arrester blocks
•Shock absorbing lanyards
All of these systems depend on being used properly, regularly inspected and any defects being
reported to the right person. They should only be used where working platforms are not practical.
Those working in ‘cherry pickers’ and other forms of powered access equipment should wear a
harness and short restraint harness lanyard. Note: it may be site policy to wear a harness when in a
scissor lift.
Improper use and non-use of fall arrest will result in disciplinary action.
Note: emphasise the need for rescue procedures to be documented and where possible tested. It is not
appropriate to rely on the Fire and Rescue Service.
42. Working at height
Where the risk assessment
requires the use of fall arrest
equipment it must be used in
accordance with a safe system of
work including emergency rescue
procedures
43. Ladders and Stepladders should be used for access or as places of work ONLY when there
is no reasonably practicable alternative and it is safe to do so.
44. Working at height
• Use the safest access equipment
the job, (not the most convenient)
• Ladders and stepladders must be
for
located on a firm level base and only
used for short duration light duty
Keep your knees below the top tread when working on a stepladder
45. Explain to inductees that manual handling injuries cause more lost time at work than any other single
work related cause. These are normally back injuries but also include muscle strains and sprains, hand
and foot injuries.
Explain to inductees that there are a number of mechanical aids available to reduce the amount of
manual handling on site. These should be used wherever practicable.
Explain the site policy on handling blocks weighing more than 20Kg and bagged products of more than
25Kg.
For ground works contractors explain the need to use mechanical aids for kerbs and manhole covers
and rings.
Explain that no person should attempt to lift any object that they are not comfortable with.
Explain that loads that are bulky, heavy, unwieldy, or are to be carried over a long distance require an
assessment to be carried out and precautions put in place to minimise the risk of injuries.
Where possible larger loads should be broken down into smaller loads and/or team lifting should be
considered, but with caution.
46. Manual Handling
• DO NOT attempt to carry or
lift anything that is too big or
too heavy
• Inform your supervisor and
ask for assistance
47. Ensure that inductees are made fully aware of the requirement, that only trained,
certificated and authorised personnel will be permitted to operate driver operated plant.
This may include but not be limited to; Dumper Trucks, Cherry Pickers, Scissor Platforms,
Excavators, Road Rollers, etc.
State that all plant operators will be required to produce evidence of their training before
being given authorisation to operate any given item of plant.
Ensure that inductees have suitable evidence of competence and are aware of the site
requirements/hazards e.g. traffic route, dangerous slopes, high voltage cables.
Avoid reversing on site or use trained banksmen and ensure that loads are properly
slung/secured.
Don’t take passengers.
Ensure that where vehicles are provided with seat-belts they are used properly.
49. Keep to designated pedestrian routes on site plan. Be aware of vehicles turning or slewing.
Highlight Traffic Management Plan and explain what it currently contains and advise that
this will be updated regularly.
Explain that parking is only allowed in designated areas on site in order to keep site roads
clear for construction plant and emergency vehicles.

irrespective of how trivial they may seem at the time.
Explain that accident reporting is necessary to ensure that a proper investigation is
undertaken so that lessons can be learned to prevent a recurrence.
Ensure inductees are made fully aware of the procedure for reporting accidents and what
documents need to be completed. Inform them that there may also be a requirement to
make an entry in the Principal Contractor’s or Client’s accident book.
Inform inductees that certain accidents are reportable to the enforcing authorities, these
include most fractures and accidents where a person has more than three days off work.
Inform inductees that failure to report an accident correctly may result in disciplinary
action and could jeopardise their chances of a compensation claim at a later date.
