Involving personnel in occupational health and industrial safety issues: leadership walk-arounds, behavioral audits, observation and suggestion systems, developing open dialogue on site. This section features the experience of companies moving from a paradigm of control and punishment to partnership, instilling conscious attitudes towards safety and active risk identification in workers.
Analysis of interaction models between production and HSE, transitioning from avoidance and rivalry to cooperation. Implementation of multi-level audits to engage production personnel in safety control in their areas.
Creating an internal first aid school with multi-stage training for instructors from current employees. Implementing a hybrid training format (online theory and in-person practice with situational tasks), as well as a communication system to increase attendance to 95%.
A project to eliminate unsafe work practices (UWP) based on a five-step methodology: categorization of violations, scheduling, development of measures, rapid implementation, and multilevel monitoring. The practice includes identifying root causes of violations, standardizing workplaces, and involving top management to build a safety culture.
Creating a safe corporate environment for the open communication of critical production risks from line personnel to owners. The practice includes changing the top management motivation system, allocating resources to eliminate long-standing problems, and conducting in-depth incident investigations focusing on systemic causes.
A two-level occupational risk management system at a large industrial enterprise, including primary assessment by expert organizations and daily operational assessment. Visual tools for line personnel (hazardous area passports), contractor interaction algorithms, and a new motivation model for HSE representatives have been implemented.
A comprehensive safety culture assessment methodology, including self-assessment using five tools (surveys, focus groups, manager interviews, observation, documentation analysis) and the involvement of independent industry experts. The practice aims to identify deep-seated employee values and transition from strict control to conscious safe behavior.
Systematic building of an HSE culture with a focus on engaging contractors. Practices include multi-level training, workplace mentoring, and sessions for contractor top management with the signing of informal agreements.
The "President's Award" system of non-financial motivation and recognition of achievements in HSE at NLMK Group. The program includes regular rewards (corporate currency, gratitude) for target behavior and large-scale competition mechanics for employees and contractors, which increased involvement 12-fold and reduced injury rates by 1.9 times over three years.
Transformation of the HSE system through the implementation of a risk-oriented approach and the creation of an internal trainers institute. The practice includes a phased transition from normalizing territories to conscious safety, integrating proactive training with mandatory training, and a non-material motivation system for identifying risks.
Transformation of corporate safety culture from a reactive to a proactive level by creating specialized culture development departments and building a cascade of HSE committees. The practice includes integrating the risk management system with management standards and transferring project teams into permanent organizational structures to sustain results.
Optimization of regulatory documentation by consolidating instructions and transitioning to targeted risk recognition training. Implementation of the "Dangerous Work Practices" (DWP) project with focused skill development and the creation of a mobile preventive platform "Shock Center" with visual simulator stands to demonstrate the consequences of violations.
The article describes SIBUR's approach to the application of key safety rules, deviation from which can lead to the most serious incidents. Readers will learn how these rules are brought to the attention of employees, contractors, and visitors, as well as what sanctions are applied under zero tolerance for violations. In addition, the material explains how internal investigation of violations helps identify their causes and prevent precursors to incidents.
