#Forum 2025
Insights from HSE DAYS Forum 2025. Moving from rigid control to a human-centric collaboration model. Strategic reports on regulatory transformation and finding balance between operational efficiency and safety.
Employee Mental Health and Its Impact on Labor Productivity
Implementation of a structured Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to reduce hidden financial losses from presenteeism and occupational injuries. The program includes a limited number of confidential sessions with specialized professionals to quickly resolve employees' personal problems, including the adaptation of SMO veterans.
Culture of Change. The Role of Neurobiology and Physiological Characteristics of Personnel in Ensuring Safe Thinking and Behavior
Applying knowledge of neurobiology and biochemistry to manage the psychophysiological state of personnel and reduce workplace stress. The practice includes creating a favorable environment to produce pleasure hormones and using physiological techniques (breath-holding, physical activity) to stop acute stress reactions.
Developing Competencies in HSE
Transformation of the HSE competency development system, shifting from formal training to practical skill building. Implementation of centralized providers, in-house trainer-mentors at production sites, and an LMS for training management.
Development Tools Without Million-Dollar Budgets: Practice of Building a Strong HSE Team
Forming an ecosystem for HSE team development without external budgets. Implemented cross-functional internships, role exchange with business trainers, brainstorming for idea testing, and internal coaching on practical skills.
Hidden Potential: Custom Communications with Your Audience
Analysis of millions of employee messages on social networks to identify their values and behavioral patterns. Based on the obtained metadata, the editorial policy is adjusted and custom HSE communications are built, increasing staff engagement.
Destructive Thinking Patterns: Who Hides the Truth During Investigations
A methodology for internal incident investigations that eliminates experts' cognitive biases. The approach is based on perceiving a person as an adapter of an imperfect system, rather than a mechanism, and avoiding evaluative words when formulating root causes.
Systematic Approach to Emergency Preparedness in the Context of Modern Risks
Adapting the emergency preparedness system to modern threats, including UAV attacks. Introducing a new format for command and staff exercises with in-person participation of top management, law enforcement, and EMERCOM, as well as developing non-staff emergency rescue teams through annual skills competitions.
Contractor Risk Management: From Blind Spots to a Barrier System
Implementation of an end-to-end contractor risk management system focusing on maintenance work. Using digital tools (Power BI dashboards, electronic permits-to-work, heat maps) for online monitoring and management decision-making.
Transformation of Production Control (Barrier Risk Management Model)
Transformation of the production control system through the implementation of a barrier model for critical risk management (based on the ICMM methodology and Bowtie model). The practice includes identifying critical risks, developing risk maps, building barriers, creating checklists, and fully digitalizing the inspection process with integration into the enterprise's work order system via a mobile app.
Cardinal Safety Rules: Placebo or Effective Medicine
Implementation and optimization of Cardinal Safety Rules (CSR) in a large industrial company. Reducing the list to six key rules, strict enforcement (up to dismissal), and analyzing the impact on fatal injury statistics.
Pyrolysis as a Promising Environmental Technology
Implementation of a mobile low-temperature pyrolysis unit for the independent processing of carbon-containing waste (tires, oils, oil-containing waste) at remote construction sites. The technology reduces logistics costs, minimizes emissions (under 0.1 – 0.4 MPC), and yields secondary resources (pyrolysis gas, ash-mineral residue) without requiring a sanitary protection zone.
Science and Business Partnership in Implementing Infrastructure and Applied Science Projects in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra
Integration of scientific research into the business processes of an oil-producing enterprise to ensure environmental safety. Projects on greenhouse gas monitoring in swamp ecosystems, biodiversity research, and the creation of conservation value maps have been implemented.
