#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.
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
The author shares a personal story of transitioning from a miner in an extraction section of the Zapolyarny mine to a specialist in industrial safety and occupational health and safety. Through his own example, he shows how a principled stance and strict production control help curb violations, change contractors' attitudes toward safety standards, and save workers' lives. The article reveals the specifics of working in the field of industrial safety and occupational health and safety, the diffi...
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.
Strategic Directions for Developing the Occupational Safety System at SUEK-Khakassia LLC
A comprehensive approach to ensuring safety at open-pit mining enterprises, including risk-based thinking training, critical risk management, behavioral audits, and the implementation of digital monitoring systems (sensors, tags, Karyer system). The practice demonstrates the integration of technical solutions with data analysis to evaluate training effectiveness and interaction with production departments.
Development of a Safety Culture at Tugnuisky Open Pit JSC
A comprehensive approach to developing a safety culture at a mining enterprise, based on critical risk analysis and multi-level barriers. The practice includes digitalizing feedback via QR codes, using technical protection means (directional light systems, driver monitoring, voltage indicators), and engaging personnel through training and motivation.
Evolution of the Non-Financial Motivation Program
Implementation of a multi-level non-financial motivation program in a mining company. The system includes individual, team, and project nominations with points awarded for proactive HSE actions, which are exchanged for valuable prizes through a catalog.
Development and implementation of digital technical control systems to correct dangerous personnel behavior
Implementation of a multi-level digital control system for dangerous personnel behavior at a large industrial enterprise. Use of UAVs, wearable DVRs, and surround view systems to monitor critical risks and create educational video content based on real violations.
Digitalization and its Development in Industrial Safety at Kolmar Management Company LLC
Comprehensive digitalization of industrial safety processes at a coal mining enterprise. Implementation of a unified safety ecosystem, including an electronic work order book, automated mine access, a unified dispatch center, and transport and equipment monitoring systems.
Implementation of a Critical Risk Management Project at the International Mine of ALROSA PJSC
Implementation of a critical risk management system in an underground mine using barrier thinking. The practice includes developing paper checklists for workers and electronic checklists in a mobile app for mining foremen to monitor barrier operability before starting a shift.
Critical Risk Management
Implementation of a critical risk management system at a mining enterprise. The practice includes prioritizing fatal threats, creating a system of technical and organizational barriers, and digitally controlling their status through personal checklists for workers and mobile apps for line managers.
Occupational Risk Identification and Management
Implementation of a modified occupational risk assessment methodology using a "probability of detection" coefficient. Formation of micro-level working groups (in workshops and teams) to identify hidden threats and calculate the acceptable risk level as the arithmetic mean across the hazard map. Development of specific engineering and organizational measures (video surveillance, blaster on duty, cable bandaging) to reduce risks exceeding the acceptable level.
