Environmental Risks. Expert Group. Expectation vs. Reality
The effectiveness of environmental risk identification using the ENVID method directly depends on the quality of the expert group's work; however, in practice, risk sessions are often inefficient due to distractions and a lack of specialist activity. The article uses examples to examine the real behavior of participants during an in-person brainstorming session. The author shares basic rules for forming a working group of 6–8 people capable of expressing their opinions freely and delivering resu...
Metalloinvest's Experience in Training Employees in Safety Culture
The article is dedicated to the experience of Metalloinvest in developing a safety culture and training employees in the risk management system.

Targeted Briefing: Moving Beyond Formality
The article examines the experience of Metalloinvest in the phased integration of the pre-job risk discussion (PJRD) tool with targeted safety briefing. Discussing hazards directly at the work site in a dialogue mode made it possible to improve the quality of briefings and move away from a merely formal signature in the logbook. Such an approach enables an objective assessment of workers' level of risk understanding and prompt adjustment of their knowledge.
Operation of an Automated System for Audit Tracking and Violation Registration
Implementation of a unified web environment for automated audit tracking and violation registration (ASU NBT) with mandatory photo and video recording of corrective actions. The system is integrated with the occupational risk assessment module (EKASUTR), allowing automatic adjustment of a department's risk level based on identified violations.
What Subtleties Hide Behind "Stop Unsafe Work"
Implementation of the "Stop Unsafe Work" tool involving line personnel in identifying hidden risks. The practice includes using a mobile app to record risks, mandatory worker participation in the corrective measures commission, and a reward system for using the tool without applying sanctions.
Results of Developing Environmental Safety Tools for Large Projects
A systematic approach to the digitalization and standardization of environmental control in large investment projects. Implementation of a documentation review matrix, an updated environmental risk assessment methodology with alphanumeric identification, and automated tools (checklists, damage calculators, state expertise comments registry).
A Rational Approach: Principles and Rules for the Crew
The article explains how to protect a crew from recurring errors and unproductive loss of time in the workplace using key rules and small regular steps.

Discussion of tasks and team risk assessment before starting work help identify hazards and determine safe work practices. The procedure ensures an understanding of all precautions and increases employee engagement in occupational health and safety issues.
Environmental Risks
Transitioning from formal registers to real environmental risk management using cross-functional teams and the HAZID/ENVIT methodology. The practice includes decomposing risks into factor, event, and consequence, as well as applying a "risk constructor" for accurate threat formulation and material assessment.
Automated HSE Platform
Creation and implementation of an automated HSE management platform for a company with over 32,000 employees. The platform includes a mobile app for recording risks and non-conformities, integration with corporate ERP systems, a gamification system for staff engagement, and interactive instructions for user training.
Targeted Warehouse Safety Solutions
A set of targeted engineering and organizational solutions to ensure safety in a high-rack warehouse. It includes adapting warehouse equipment, software speed limits, implementing telemedicine for pre-trip inspections, and using short video lessons for personnel training.
Risk-Based Thinking in Industrial Safety and HSE
Risk-oriented thinking in industrial safety and occupational health and safety consists of the ability to analyze potential hazards of operational activities and manage their consequences.
