Balance of Three Cultures: Production, Corporate, and Safety Culture
Step-by-step involvement of the production unit in safety processes through simplifying control and training tools. Reducing behavioral audit training time, transferring responsibility for contractors to production workers, and implementing digital solutions for recording hazardous situations.
The Art of Achieving Balance
Integrating safety metrics (including off-the-job injuries) into top management KPIs and transforming Behavior-Based Safety (BBS) audits without strict targets. Implementing the "Safe Workspace" system and abandoning punitive approaches during walkarounds.
Contractor Engagement Practices
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.
Synergy of Safety Culture and Production
Integration of safety and production cultures through the adaptation of behavioral safety audits (BSA) and expanding the functionality of existing digital systems. Implementation of targeted BSAs combining risk and production process assessments, as well as using data from positioning, aerogas control, and electronic medical examination systems to improve efficiency without significant additional costs.
Mentorship or Investment in the Future
Implementation of a mentorship institution to adapt young specialists and reduce occupational injuries. The practice includes developing measurable adaptation programs, integrating HSE requirements into on-the-job training, and a system of material and non-material motivation for mentors.
Manager's Work Standard – Four Practices, One HSE Document
Combining disparate safety tools (assignment system, production control, behavioral audits, and HSE committees) into a single Manager's Work Standard. Implementation of formalized assignment algorithms, targeted checklists based on Bowtie risk assessment, and new quality metrics to evaluate communication and audit effectiveness.
Safety Curators: An Important Element of the HSE System
Introduction of the safety curators institution to overcome stagnation and develop safety culture. Curators act as mentors and a link between the HSE system and production departments, using line walkdowns, behavioral audits, and practical training.
Conscious Safety. Myth or Reality?
The material examines an approach to conscious safety in production, formed through the knowledge and skills of the employee. The author analyzes key types of attitudes toward rule compliance — 'prisoner', 'vacationer', and 'partner'.

The company's experience demonstrates how encouraging initiativ...
Behavioral Safety Audit (BSA)
The article is devoted to behavioral safety audit (BSA) — a method based on observing workers' actions, assessing working conditions, and subsequently discussing the results. The material examines in detail the audit objectives, the procedure for conducting it, the regulations for compiling reports without punishing employees, and the recommended frequency of inspections. The publication explains how processing audit data helps identify "areas of concern", prevent injuries, and enhance the cultu...
Using Checklists: Making the Complex Simple
Checklists in the field of occupational health and safety and industrial safety allow for systematizing control and minimizing human error, turning the complex process of safety assessment into a sequence of clear steps. Thanks to a unified methodology, such a tool becomes a guide for both beginners and experienced specialists, preventing important parameters from being missed under tight time constraints. The use of clear and practical inspection algorithms simplifies internal audits, reduces t...
Development and implementation of the "Production Control" practice within the manager's work standard implementation project
Implementation of production control practice as part of the line managers' work standard. The process includes planning, identifying deviations via checklists, root cause analysis, and correction using digital tools for recording violations.
