Shaping Behavioral Culture Through Digital Projects

Digital Transformation as a Tool for Shaping Safety Culture

The development of HSE systems is inextricably linked with the implementation of digital technologies. Stepan Dikiy, Head of the HSE Systems Development Department at SUEK, clearly demonstrates how the transition from upgrading technical systems to behavioral barriers helps overcome stagnation in reducing occupational injuries. The presentation details practical experience in integrating digital assistants and artificial intelligence-based systems into the daily operations of the enterprise.

Driver Alertness Control: From Reaction to Proactivity

One of the key problems leading to severe traffic accidents at production sites is the loss of driver alertness. The speaker analyzes the implementation of an alertness control system that detects falling asleep, distraction, phone use, and smoking. Importantly, the system does not just record violations but acts as a digital assistant: it duplicates the driver's actions by voice and triggers an audible alarm at signs of falling asleep. This allows incidents to be prevented in real time, rather than dealing with their consequences.

Artificial Intelligence Guarding Electrical Safety

Working in electrical installations involves high risks, and the human factor plays a crucial role here. The presentation features a project for digital monitoring of safety compliance using AI. Cameras trained to recognize the use of specific PPE (e.g., dielectric gloves) and the correct execution of switching algorithms provide round-the-clock monitoring. This allows for automatic detection of violations and the creation of a baseline for targeted personnel training at specialized testing grounds.

Overcoming Resistance: Working with "Creative" Employees

The implementation of any control systems inevitably faces attempts to bypass them. Using the example of an unauthorized riding control system on belt conveyors, the speaker shows how important it is not only to install technical barriers (video recording and automatic conveyor shutdown) but also to work with human behavior. Integration with a positioning system and the introduction of voice warnings in mine lamps when approaching hazardous areas demonstrate a comprehensive approach to fostering a conscious attitude towards safety.

Integration of Aerogas Control Data

A project to eliminate interference with aerogas control systems deserves special attention. Synchronizing data from stationary sensors, headlamps, and portable gas analyzers allows for online detection of discrepancies in readings and monitoring of device operability. Automating the recording of methane concentration exceedances significantly reduces the labor costs of specialists and increases data reliability.
