#Digitalization
Digital transformation of HSE processes. A systemic look at IT infrastructure: electronic document flow, digital permit-to-work systems, mobile apps. Real examples of how automation frees up specialists' time for field work.
Machine Vision in HSE
In the article, the authors share their experience testing computer vision systems in the field of occupational health and safety and industrial safety. Based on the tests, key scenarios for applying the technology are examined — from monitoring the wearing of PPE to monitoring hazardous zones — as well as its benefits in automation and predictive analytics. The material helps assess both the potential of computer vision for increasing safety in production and the challenges associated with cost...
Effective Motivation and Goal-Setting System for Industrial Safety. How to Align Company and Employee Goals
Development and implementation of a comprehensive integrated indicator "Safety Culture Pulse", combining 11 reactive and proactive metrics on a ten-point scale. The practice includes automating data collection, engaging managers through behavioral audits, and accounting for off-the-job injuries to build a proactive safety culture.
Virtual and Mixed Reality in Training: Effective Technologies and Their Prospects
The article examines the characteristics and challenges of using virtual and mixed reality for training employees in the field of occupational health and safety and industrial safety. The author shares practical observations on the use of VR simulators, pointing out difficulties with staff adaptation, the technical finickiness of equipment, and content quality. The material provides recommendations on implementing mixed reality elements, using the SCORM format for mass training, and reasonably c...
Artificial Intelligence as an Assistant in HSE: A Step into the Future
The article by the Head of Occupational Health and Safety and Industrial Safety is dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence for optimizing routine processes and compensating for the shortage of resources in the field of OHS and IS. The material examines the key functions of AI assistants — from analyzing regulatory documentation and conducting briefings to forecasting risks and generating reports. The author also analyzes potential risks of using technologies and explains why smal...
Digitalization of Access Control: New Horizons of Safety
Implementation of a comprehensive access control system for high-risk work, including the personal presence of experts ("demonstration access"), continuous video recording of the process using mobile recorders, and testing of stationary neural network video analytics complexes. The practice aims to eliminate a formal approach to pre-shift briefings and PPE checks, as well as to build trusting relationships between personnel and regulatory bodies.
Improving Despite the Challenges
The article describes the company's experience in adapting the practice of "Line Walkthroughs" to pandemic conditions and remote work formats through the implementation of "Remote Line Walkthroughs" (RLW) via video conferencing. The author discusses the structure of the meetings, the distribution of participants into groups, the use of a special checklist on safety and social issues, as well as monitoring the execution of decisions made. The material demonstrates how the new format made it possi...
Pre-Shift Control of Workers on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 Platform
Creation of a unified digital ecosystem for pre-shift control based on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform. The single-window principle is implemented in shift centers, combining data from HR, medical staff, security, and HSE to automate personnel clearance for remote sites.
Automation of HSE Processes
Comprehensive automation of HSE processes in a large distributed company based on domestic IT solutions. Implementation of a unified digital space for managing training, special assessment of working conditions, PPE issuance, and electronic document management, as well as the use of a virtual assistant to process employee requests.
Digitalization, Safety, and Ecology in Modern Power Engineering
Implementation of budget-friendly digital solutions for electrical safety certification control based on 1C:ZUP and automation of PPE testing tracking using Excel macros and Bitrix. A project for secondary and tertiary use of process water at the processing plant was also implemented, significantly reducing water consumption.
Operation of an Automated System for Audit Tracking and Violation Registration
Implementation of a unified web environment for automated audit tracking and violation registration (ASU NBT) with mandatory photo and video recording of corrective actions. The system is integrated with the occupational risk assessment module (EKASUTR), allowing automatic adjustment of a department's risk level based on identified violations.
Results of Developing Environmental Safety Tools for Large Projects
A systematic approach to the digitalization and standardization of environmental control in large investment projects. Implementation of a documentation review matrix, an updated environmental risk assessment methodology with alphanumeric identification, and automated tools (checklists, damage calculators, state expertise comments registry).
Automated HSE Platform
Creation and implementation of an automated HSE management platform for a company with over 32,000 employees. The platform includes a mobile app for recording risks and non-conformities, integration with corporate ERP systems, a gamification system for staff engagement, and interactive instructions for user training.
