#Mining
Occupational health and safety in the mining industry. Managing specific risks: rockfalls, mine atmosphere, and explosives. Cases on implementing aerogas control, underground personnel tracking, and heavy machinery operation.
Mentorship: A Key Link in Developing Professional Competencies
A two-tier mentorship system featuring workforce requirement calculations, rigorous selection, and continuous support through workplace supervision. To practice hands-on skills, a full-scale training and production site was created, operating on a shift schedule synchronized with main production. Bureaucratic burden was reduced by implementing a single three-year additional agreement, while a professional Telegram community was launched to foster engagement.
New Paradigms in Personnel Training for Remote Sites and Fly-in Fly-out Operations
Transformation of the corporate training system for remote and FIFO sites amidst labor shortages and changing demographic profiles. A preboarding process has been implemented, starting remote training before arrival at the site, alongside targeted hybrid educational solutions. For safe skill practice, VR simulators with error analytics are used, while prompt libraries based on artificial intelligence and a 360-degree assessment system are utilized for on-the-job self-study.
Process of Establishing a Corporate University Division with Mandatory Training Functions
Establishment of a separate corporate training center at a remote production site for mandatory personnel training and authorization. The system includes three tracks: training from scratch under an apprenticeship contract, supplementary training for specialists with formal certificates, and mastering related trades. The infrastructure combines theoretical classrooms and training grounds for practicing safe work skills, which both staff employees and contractors must pass through.
Transformation of Production Control: Barrier-Based Risk Management Model
Digitalization of production control based on a barrier-based critical risk management model using the Bow-Tie method. The practice includes integrating an analytics system and an operational management system to conduct inspections via a mobile application on explosion-proof devices. It features automated generation of corrective work orders and proactive status updates of locations to "hazardous production situation" in cases of systemic deviations.
The Evolution of Leadership Principles and HSE Practices in Mining
Comprehensive safety culture transformation in a mining company with over 15,000 employees. A proactive KPI system was implemented, behavioral audits were digitized via a mobile app, and a unified critical risk management methodology was established. Leadership commitments were cascaded from top management to line supervisors through standardized safety practices.
Subsoil Use Waste. Ecologists vs Geologists
Algorithm for determining the status of rocks and subsoil use waste in accordance with amendments to the Subsoil Law and Federal Law No. 89. The practice includes analyzing project documentation, controlling storage locations, and the targeted use of extracted rock to prevent double accounting and environmental fines.
Understanding the Human Factor as the Primary Source of Accidents and Injuries in Mining Enterprises
Organizing and Conducting a Production Safety Cross-Audit
Digital Solutions for Ensuring Safety in Mining Operations
Implementation of a complex of digital systems in mining operations to monitor the condition of dump truck drivers and prevent collisions. Use of video analytics (OKO system) to detect falling asleep and distraction, as well as the integration of GPS trackers with ACS for personnel positioning and hazardous zone control.
Method of Organizing and Controlling the Safety of Production Processes at a Coal Mine
A commission-based methodology for assessing personnel reliability across four criteria, assigning a color category. Integration of assessment results into an automated work order system to block unreliable workers from dangerous processes.
My Transformation from a Miner to an HSE Professional
Voice of Danger: How AI Hears Risks Before They Become Reality
Implementation of an AI-based speech analytics system to automate production control. Workers dictate equipment inspection results into explosion-proof smartphones, and the neural network transcribes the speech, generates checklists, and automatically escalates identified risks to management.
