Safety Statistical Indicators

Context: Why Safety Statistics are Needed

Maintaining HSE statistics is not just a formality, but a crucial tool for analyzing the current state of safety in a company and setting goals. Speaker Andrey Tolstopyatov, Head of the HSE Department at the "Formaciya" company, shares practical experience on how data collection and analysis help move towards the "zero incidents" goal.

Differentiation of Indicators and Nominations

The presentation details the approach to incident classification. It is important not just to record "accidents", but to differentiate events as much as possible: fires, micro-injuries, near-misses (incidents without actual damage), and non-conformities identified during walkarounds. This allows for the analysis of preconditions for more serious incidents.

To increase personnel engagement, indicators are grouped into nominations, for example, "Follow Our Example" (positive practices), "I Propose" (employee ideas), and "Overlooked" (incidents due to personal negligence). Such a competitive principle stimulates a conscious attitude towards safety.

Information Collection Tools

Using the internal "Molniya" (Lightning) program as an example, the speaker shows how important it is to provide a simple and direct communication channel between employees and management. Every worker can report a micro-injury, a near-miss, or propose a safety improvement idea without complex bureaucratic procedures.

• Video surveillance: used to analyze personnel behavior in real conditions, when processes are not adjusted for the auditor.
• Behavioral audits: applied primarily for individual conversations with employees to learn their opinions about working conditions and hazards.
• Electronic non-conformity log: allows for prompt recording and monitoring of violation elimination with access for all responsible persons.

Principles of Maintaining Statistics and Data Analysis

Statistics must be transparent and accessible to all personnel. Monthly reports are sent to managers and discussed at meetings. Special attention is paid to analyzing the time of day of incidents (e.g., night shifts or weekends) and identifying recurring unsafe acts.

In-depth analysis includes assessing the potential damage from incidents, which allows for proactive action. The speaker emphasizes the importance of rewarding employees who consistently demonstrate safe behavior and actively participate in submitting ideas.
