#Risks
Identifying and controlling occupational risks. Discovering hidden hazards, managing human fallibilities, and redefining staff relationship with dangerous operations via real scenario monitoring rather than mere formal checkups.
High-Risk Work Monitoring: A Tool for Risk Identification in Construction
Implementation of an adaptive risk-oriented concept in construction through high-risk work monitoring. The practice includes site zoning, checklist optimization to 21-25 items, "here and now" risk elimination, multi-level audits involving line managers and top management, and subcontractor rating.
Transformation of Production Control Through Risk Management
Transition from formal production control to a barrier model of critical risk management using the Bowtie method. The practice includes developing checklists for engineering staff and digitalizing the inspection process via a mobile app on explosion-proof smartphones with automatic generation of work orders to eliminate violations.
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.
Is Your Risk Management System Actually Working?
The article is devoted to key aspects of establishing and developing an occupational health and safety and industrial safety risk management system based on the PDCA (Deming) cycle. The author examines the elements of each stage of the methodology — from worker involvement and risk assessment to assigning responsibility for TOP risk measures to business leaders. The material also explains the organization of the annual hazard review cycle, its linkage with budgeting, and process monitoring throu...
Risk Management Through Eliminating Root Causes of Hazardous Situations
A systemic approach to risk management through root cause analysis of hazardous situations and non-conformities (Five Whys method, barrier analysis). The practice includes collecting data from various sources (audits, BSA, video recording, hotline), identifying recurring basic causes, and transforming training programs based on real cases.
Implementation of Innovative Emulsion-Aerosol Fire Suppression Technology. Minimizing Hazardous Events at Tank Farm Loading Racks
Implementation of innovative emulsion-aerosol fire suppression technology at tank farm loading racks. Transitioning to bottom loading systems to minimize risks of static electricity and falls from height, as well as comprehensive work with contractors using 3D simulators and joint exercises with EMERCOM.
Remote Risk Management in HSE
Implementation of remote HSE control tools at geographically distributed facilities. The practice includes automating the "Stop-Risk" system with gamification, video recording of breathalyzer testing and high-risk work, and installing video surveillance systems for contractors and personnel.
SIMOPS: Safety Management During Commissioning and Startup
Safety management during simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) at the commissioning stage. Includes the use of readiness checklists, LOTO systems, notification matrices, and visualization to minimize risks when builder and commissioning tasks overlap.
5 Steps to High-Risk Work Safety
A comprehensive high-risk work management system including work categorization, strict planning, work permit automation using digital signatures, and video recording to identify hidden risks. System implementation increased planned work to 95% and completely eliminated injuries.
Critical Risk Management Through a Barrier Approach
Transitioning from formal hazard lists to a dynamic critical risk management system via a barrier approach. Practices include integrating risk assessment into the budget campaign, distributing barrier control responsibilities among management levels during walkarounds, and building a motivation system based on risk identification.
Top Risk of Working in Gas-Hazardous Areas: Ural Steel Experience
Implementation of a LoraWAN-based online control system for remote monitoring of workers in gas-hazardous areas. The system tracks MPC exceedances, personal gas detector battery levels, and employee immobility, transmitting signals to dispatch centers.
Safety Tagging System: A Unified Information Database for Managing Nonconformities and Incidents
Implementation of a safety tagging system based on Excel macros for recording and managing nonconformities. The system allows any employee to register a defect, automatically assesses risks, and routes the task to responsible persons, ensuring 90% of tags are closed within 30 days.
