Comprehensive industrial risk management: building a risk-oriented model, integrating ISO 45001 safety standards, and developing multi-level internal control. Real examples of making systematic hazard minimization an integral part of daily business processes.
Transformation of the production control system through the implementation of a barrier model for critical risk management (based on the ICMM methodology and Bowtie model). The practice includes identifying critical risks, developing risk maps, building barriers, creating checklists, and fully digitalizing the inspection process with integration into the enterprise's work order system via a mobile app.
Implementation and optimization of Cardinal Safety Rules (CSR) in a large industrial company. Reducing the list to six key rules, strict enforcement (up to dismissal), and analyzing the impact on fatal injury statistics.
A systematic approach to managing the safety of contracting organizations at all stages of interaction. The practice includes differentiating contractors by risk level, auditing at the tender stage, joint training and admission, and applying positive motivation tools instead of fines.
A workplace cardiovascular disease prevention system including occupational risk stratification, a five-level investigation of sudden deaths, and control of medical check-ups via a corporate network linked to VHI. Workers with critical illnesses are moved to light duty with a chance to return after successful treatment.
Adapting the HSE strategy during an economic crisis by transitioning to short sprints (Agile), focusing on the top 5 critical risks, and cross-functional financing of safety projects using adjacent department budgets. Digitizing routine processes to free up managers' time for developing behavioral safety.
Transition to a risk-oriented HSE management model, where occupational risk assessment becomes the foundation of all processes. Implementation of a human-centric approach, including quality staff selection considering risk propensity, onboarding, mentoring, and effective communication to build a conscious safety culture.

Building a transparent system for escalating information about critical technical and production risks from line personnel to business owners. The practice includes using objective metrics from automated control systems and the phased work of specialized committees up to the Board of Directors. Transitioning from emotional problem discussions to the language of numbers to justify long-term safety investments.
The "Swiss cheese" concept, proposed by psychologist James Reason, explains how the overlap of vulnerabilities in different protection systems leads to industrial accidents. The article analyzes the functioning of the main levels of industrial safety — from design solutions to personal protective equipment — and the potential weaknesses of each of them. From the material, you will learn which practical methods, including barrier audits, redundancy of measures, and digitalization, help build a re...
The article is devoted to technical safety barriers — engineering and technological solutions that physically prevent hazardous situations and operate independently of the human factor. The material examines the types and operating principles of such barriers, as well as clear examples from the practice of their application. The author shows how the design and operation of these systems turn abstract safety requirements into specific and reliable mechanisms for protecting people and equipment.
Equipment repair and maintenance involve high risks due to the possible sudden release of hazardous energies. The Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) system allows isolating energy sources and physically preventing accidental startup of machinery during work. The article examines key operating principles of the LOTO system, the role of personal responsibility of personnel, and conditions for its successful implementation in manufacturing.
The article examines gaps in the current EAEU regulatory framework and Rospotrebnadzor's inspection system in the field of frozen ready-to-eat food production. The author analyzes key food safety risks, including the lack of a unified industry standard, outdated SanPiN microbiological standards, and the difficulties of cold chain control in production. The material presents practical recommendations on tightening internal microbiological control standards at enterprises and business participatio...
The article is dedicated to improving the production control system through the transition from eliminating deviations to their preventive prevention and the implementation of a barrier risk management model. The author explains key safety principles through the acronym GARANT, revealing the roles of managers, the procedure of active control, and the systemic analysis of the causes of non-conformities. The material shows how a comprehensive approach prevents hazardous situations, reduces occupat...
