Lean manufacturing tools and the 5S system for ensuring workplace safety. Organizing the workspace is considered not merely a cleaning method, but a powerful foundational barrier against injuries. The section reveals practical algorithms for implementing visual control, ergonomics, and eliminating waste (muda).
A comprehensive contractor safety management system at high-hazard facilities. Includes integrating HSE requirements into contracts, implementing 12 life-saving rules, 5S, DROPS, scaffolding and lifting accessories control, and digitalizing high-risk and SIMOPS control.
Integration of production system tools (5S, idea submission system, visual management, standard operating procedures) into safety processes in the oilfield. The practice includes department ranking, as well as material and non-material motivation of personnel for initiatives to improve working conditions.
The article examines the problem of overcoming barriers and staff resistance when implementing new tools and best practices using the 5S system as an example. The author describes the step-by-step ADKAR change management model, which focuses on the human factor and allows sequentially preparing employees for innovations. The material helps to understand how to minimize rejection of changes and ensure a smooth and successful transition to new practices.
The article describes the practical experience of creating an eco-friendly and comfortable working environment using the company Gazstroyprom as an example. The author explains how the implementation of separate waste collection, resource conservation, electronic document management, and eco-education helps build useful eco-habits among employees. Caring for the environment in the workplace enhances the comfort and safety of personnel, directly contributing to productivity growth and the overall...
A multi-stage contractor management system at a hazardous production facility, including prequalification at the tender stage, two-stage site admission, and continuous control. The practice integrates motivation tools (replacing fines with PPE purchases), regular contractor ranking, and cascading international Vision Zero and 5Z concepts.
Comprehensive transformation of the HSE system in a large mining and metallurgical company focusing on leadership. Digital tools (HSE portal, heat maps) were implemented, line walkarounds standardized, and an internal certification system for managers' safety competencies developed.
The article examines the experience of ZARUBEZHNEFT-dobycha Kharyaga in developing and maintaining a safe production culture using elements of the production system. The material shows how practical tools — from standard operating procedures and the 5S system to crew ratings and motivation programs — help minimize occupational risks and increase labor productivity. The described approach demonstrates ways to engage personnel and contracting organizations in the process of continuous improvement...
Integrating safety requirements into the company's production system elements. Implementing standardized operation cards, 5S, the "I Have an Idea" continuous improvement program, and team ratings based on HSE performance.
The article examines the practical application of the fourth step of the 5S system — "Standardization" — to ensure order and reduce risks in production. The author shares experience in implementing work area layout maps and conducting checklist audits, which help compare the established standard with reality and improve safety culture. As a ready-made basis for developing one's own procedures, an example of a production area layout map and an audit checklist are attached to the material.
Implementation of a safety tagging system based on Excel macros for recording and managing nonconformities. The system allows any employee to register a defect, automatically assesses risks, and routes the task to responsible persons, ensuring 90% of tags are closed within 30 days.
Implementation of the 5S lean production system on an ice-resistant stationary offshore platform. The project includes optimizing the storage of tools, documentation, and large equipment, as well as modernizing workplaces with active personnel involvement in developing technical specifications.
Implementation of a five-level roadmap for integrating HSE into the enterprise operating system. The practice includes the phased development of processes from basic data registration to creating an accessible environment, working with medical center visit microdata to improve ergonomics, as well as visual management and multi-level risk assessment audits involving line managers and workers.
