Opening of the 3rd Season of HSE DAYS

New Reality and Challenges for the HSE Function

The opening of the third season of the HSE DAYS project takes place amidst global changes that directly affect business processes and the occupational safety function. Speakers note that the current situation requires specialists to be flexible and quickly find alternative solutions. In particular, Evgeny Kovalev draws attention to difficulties with PPE supplies and logistics chains, forcing companies to seek new suppliers and build reserves. Alexander Pivikov confirms this trend, mentioning the transition to domestic manufacturers of respiratory protection. Despite these difficulties, budgets for HSE activities are not being cut, which indicates the unwavering priority of safety issues for business.

Legislative Changes and Safety Culture Development

Alexander Yakimov emphasizes the importance of recent changes to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, which systematize occupational safety requirements and help minimize injury rates. At the same time, Pavel Zakharov points out conflicts in the legislation, in particular, the ban on electronic briefings, which contradicts the general trend towards digitalization. Under these conditions, companies focus on developing a safety culture, using it as a tool to maintain a positive attitude among employees during times of uncertainty.

HR Potential and New Requirements for Specialists

The speakers agree that the need for qualified personnel in the field of HSE remains high. Alexander Pivikov notes the gap between university training and the real needs of business, which forces companies to train specialists on their own. Pavel Zakharov highlights the importance of management skills for leaders and a deep understanding of production processes for specialized professionals. Companies continue to actively hire, confirming the high demand for professionals in this field.
