AI Transformation in HSE: Real Cases, Myths, and the New Role of Specialists
Implementing artificial intelligence in HSE processes across four levels: from using basic generative networks for document management to creating a unified AI safety management architecture. Practical applications include automating responses to prescriptions, dynamic risk assessment via Telegram bots, and deep root cause analysis of incidents with fault tree construction.
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.
Minimizing Fires in Production
In-house modernization of production equipment to minimize fire risks. Implementation of technical solutions (software reconfiguration, protective guards, machine synchronization) and organizational measures (zonal fire alarms, practical fire extinguisher training) to transition from reactive to proactive fire safety management.
DRA Tool: A Skill or a Long Process?
Roman Portnyagin, a safety culture trainer at Norilsk Nickel, breaks down the "Dynamic Risk Assessment" (DRA) tool and explains why industrial safety should not be perceived as a process that interferes with work. Using the example of everyday hazard assessment when crossing the road, the author shows how continuous practice turns risk management from rules into an automatic skill. The article reveals which training, incentive, and recognition tools help motivate employees to apply "DRA" for the...
How to Support the System Under Multiple Changes
A comprehensive strategy for restoring and stabilizing the HSE management system amid staff shortages and structural changes.

Environmental Risk Management as a Way to Improve the Economic Efficiency of Major Projects
Implementation of a unified environmental risk management methodology for major investment projects using a 5x5 matrix, criticality attributes (showstopper, schedule delay, budget increase), and measure effectiveness evaluation. The process is automated in the Insight information system module, and face-to-face cross-functional risk sessions are held at each project Stage-Gate or annually.
Awareness on the Road
A comprehensive system for increasing the awareness of corporate fleet drivers, including the analysis of traffic violations in the format of a trusting conversation, assessment of the driver risk index, and regular communications.
