#Employee engagement
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.
Development of Safety Culture
A comprehensive project to develop a safety culture in a gas production company with over 11,000 employees. Behavioral safety audits (BSA) were implemented involving line managers and the talent pool, along with a near-miss registration system. A competency model was developed to assess commitment to safety culture, the results of which affect the variable part of the salary.
Creation and Development of the Institute of Internal Safety Culture Trainers
Creation of a dedicated institute of internal safety culture trainers, relieved of other duties. Transition from formal briefings to practical mindfulness training (dynamic risk assessment) and behavioral safety audits without strict schedules.
HSE and Fire Safety Training: Implementing Modern Approaches and Training Methods as Effective Tools for Safe Behavior
Transition from formal HSE and fire safety training to interactive multimedia courses with gamification elements. Implementation of 24/7 remote access to training materials via a corporate platform and mobile devices, which allowed automating the formation of training groups and increasing employee engagement.
Digital Personnel Monitoring System as an HSE Risk Management Tool
Implementation of a digital personnel monitoring system at autonomous fields of an oilfield service company. Use of wireless intercom-search devices, explosion-proof fitness bracelets, and radio beacons (LoRaWAN network) to track location, physical condition of workers, environmental parameters, and PPE availability in real time. The system allows prompt response to SOS signals, identifies incident prerequisites, and analyzes unsafe acts to develop corrective actions.
Enhancing Safety Culture and Risk Management
A comprehensive safety culture transformation program aimed at changing employee behavior and reducing injuries (including domestic). Practical tools for personnel engagement have been implemented: dynamic risk assessment, joint development of Job Safety Analysis (JSA), safety dialogues based on the "Ask, Listen, Look" principle, and hazard visualization in the workplace.
Comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Assessment System at Russian Railways (RZD)
Implementation of the Comprehensive Occupational Health and Safety Assessment System (KSOOT) at Russian Railways (RZD). The system includes multi-level control, involvement of all employees through non-conformity sheets, risk visualization ("safety cross"), and unit scoring, followed by automation via mobile applications.
Employee Psychological Resilience and Cognitive Function (Attention, Memory) Programs
Implementation of a comprehensive employee psychological support program, including Mental Health First Aid training, mindfulness marathons, and group coaching sessions. The practice aims to develop stress management skills, improve cognitive functions (attention, memory), and reduce the risks of unsafe behavior caused by increased anxiety.
Motivation Methods: From Experiment to a Systematic Approach
Transition from disciplinary actions to positive employee motivation in HSE. The practice includes annual review competitions with practical tasks (finding violations, first aid, PPE selection) and implementing a year-end evaluation system for the best brigades.
HSE Communication: Reaching the Mind and Heart
A comprehensive approach to building HSE communication using various channels and formats. Practices include internal blogs, visual materials, interactive knowledge days, contractor forums, and unconventional engagement methods like morning greetings and children's days.
HSE Training: How to Move Away from Formalism, Incompetence, and Influence Awareness?
Transformation of the corporate HSE and industrial safety training system, shifting from a formal approach to a "flipped classroom" format. Implementation of short video lectures for independent theory study and the use of face-to-face or online trainings for practical skills, including virtual risk assessment using 360-degree video. Application of emotional context and analysis of real incidents to build a conscious attitude towards safety.
HSE Team Development and Team Building
Development and implementation of the annual Safety Rodeo gamification motivational program to unite a distributed HSE team. The program includes 9 stages aimed at sharing best practices, developing competencies, and project work, as well as automating safety data collection using Excel and Power BI.
5S - a small step towards a safe future. Or is it?
Implementing the 5S system as a tool to improve safety levels and involve line personnel. The practice includes launching pilot projects, using the Red Tags system to mark faults, and conducting regular workplace self-audits.
