#Injury prevention
Systemic prevention of occupational injuries. Focuses on preventive barriers at hazardous facilities: from physical locks to transforming worker mindset. Includes cases on Near Miss management, behavioral audits, and proactive risk mitigation.
Risk Hunting in Operations
The "Risk Hunting in Operations" tool identifies and eliminates micro-injuries and risks directly during specific operations. The approach includes forming cross-functional teams, observing the work process on-site, analyzing identified risks, and adjusting documentation (JSA) based on actual working conditions.
Regular Incident Analysis: From Blaming Individuals to Systemic Solutions
Traditional blame-seeking in occupational health and safety incidents is ineffective and is giving way to a systemic approach, where every incident is viewed as a symptom of deep organizational problems. Regular analysis of even minor incidents allows identifying up to 80% of potentially dangerous situations before they escalate into severe accidents. Such an approach transforms industrial safety from a formal procedure into a living system that reliably protects the lives and health of workers.
Measures to Eliminate Risks When Working at Height
A comprehensive approach to reducing risks when working at height, including organizing a ladder testing area, implementing anchor systems, and creating a training ground. The practice aims to eliminate the use of faulty equipment, ensure continuous fall protection, and develop practical evacuation skills.
Click It Before You Get Caught
The article discusses the importance of using seat belts based on traffic accident statistics and real transport incidents. The material describes the experience of JSC SUEK-Kuzbass in implementing an online monitoring system with video analytics that records violations 24/7. The publication explains how automated control helps systematically eradicate violations and protect the lives and health of employees.
Smoke Detector — The Silent Guardian of Your Home!
The article discusses a standalone smoke alarm—a compact device that reacts to smoke in the early stage of a fire and emits a loud acoustic signal. The device operates 24/7 on a standard battery and makes it possible to wake up in time or leave the room before evacuation routes are cut off by fire. The material describes the rules for placement and maintenance of the device, as well as analyzes popular myths and common mistakes when using it.
Risk Management Methods Vary: Identifying and Eliminating Hazardous Production Situations
Risk management methodology through proactive identification and elimination of hazardous production situations (HPS) before they become incidents. Includes involving personnel in threat registration, maintaining a unified register, planning corrective actions, and multi-level execution control.
Safety School – Key Elements in Reducing Injury Rates
Creation of an internal practice-oriented "Safety School" to train employees on production risks. The training includes a theoretical part on the 10 golden safety rules and practical exercises on specialized training stands (electrical safety, LOTO, forklift blind spots, PPE, ergonomics, working with chemicals).
Preventing Occupational Injuries Based on Communicative Compatibility Assessment
Development and implementation of an automated software complex for assessing the communicative compatibility of workers in teams. The complex identifies leadership qualities, evaluates the psychological climate, and suggests optimal shift compositions to reduce conflicts and the risk of occupational injuries.
Open Dialogue with Ekaterina Rogova: How to Reduce Severe Injuries by 70% in 2 Years
Systemic transformation of HSE approaches, including practice-oriented training for line managers, risk management systems, and department ratings. Rejecting the 'human factor' concept to find root causes and create convenient conditions for safe work.
Safety Cycle: A Cumulative Tool for Achieving "Target Zero"
The "Safety Cycle" tool is a visual clock-face board for regular spaced repetition of information about past incidents and top risks of a unit. Every week, the focus shifts to a new incident, which is addressed through informing, monitoring corrective actions, and visual reconstruction (shock content), while the management of the tool is transferred to line managers.
System for Managing Near Misses
Implementation of a near miss management system at a manufacturing enterprise using paper forms. The process includes recording, initial elimination, multi-level reporting, and personnel motivation to achieve zero injuries.
Visual Communication Tools in HSE: From Idea to Implementation
Implementation of a visual communication system at a high-security enterprise to increase employee awareness of HSE requirements. Development of memos, posters, and information boards using a cross-functional team and neural networks, leading to a reduction in micro-injuries and repeated violations.
