#Safety audit
Practice of internal safety audits: multi-stage control, transitioning from paper prescriptions to digital checklists and observation systems. Cases on how regular site inspections form a transparent picture of occupational health and safety.
Video Analytics and a Modern Approach to HSE and Industrial Safety
The article examines the experience of implementing automated video analytics in electrical installations for continuous monitoring of PPE usage and monitoring of hazardous zones. The material explains how adapting neural networks to production specifics and complying with legal requirements allow transitioning from reactive measures to proactive detection of violations. This helps optimize operator performance, reduce the number of violations, and raise the level of safety culture.
AI in Action: How a Neural Network Prevented a Cardinal Safety Rule Violation at Kola MMC
In the nickel electrolysis shop of Kola MMC, an artificial intelligence system recorded a violation of industrial safety rules for the first time when an employee entered a hazard zone without shutting down the equipment. A neural network with nine video cameras recognized a person in a restricted area, activated an audible alert, and sent notifications to management via email and the Supernika messenger. The article examines this practical case study, as well as the prospects for scaling the te...
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.
Client and Contractor: Effective Collaboration in Safety
Implementation of a motivation system and KPIs for project managers (clients) to control the safety of contracting organizations. The practice includes transitioning from reactive to proactive indicators, synchronizing the KPIs of the client and supervisors, and involving contractor managers in regular audits.
Improving Safe Working Conditions Through the Development of the Production System
Integration of production system tools (5S, idea submission system, visual management, standard operating procedures) into safety processes in the oilfield. The practice includes department ranking, as well as material and non-material motivation of personnel for initiatives to improve working conditions.
Without a Checklist, You've Already Failed the Audit
In the article, an occupational health and safety specialist talks about the practical benefits of a documentation checklist in conditions of a huge volume of regulatory requirements and the risk of fines. The tool includes more than 130 items in key areas and helps to quickly identify gaps, save time, and build a clear control system. Using such a navigator reduces the likelihood of errors and gives confidence that documents are in order during unannounced inspections.
Concept of the Electronic APC System (E-APC)
The article discusses the concept of an electronic APC system (E-APC) designed to replace paper inspection logs with digital safety control tools. The material describes the main functional modules of the system, including a mobile application, a web portal with analytics, and an automated notification system. Switching to an electronic format allows centralizing data storage, promptly tracking the resolution of violations, and improving execution discipline.
Safety Without Illusions - How to Avoid Cargo Cult When Implementing Practices
Diagnosing and transforming formal safety procedures into truly working mechanisms. Separating the concepts of conscious sabotage (formalism) and blind copying of practices (cargo cult) to apply different management decisions, including the personal example of leaders and teaching the mechanics of the result.
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. Includes updating risk assessments, implementing Management of Change procedures, crisis committee operations, revising financial motivation and competency matrices, and regular employee pulse surveys.
Direct Line with HSE Leaders: Alexander Pivikov
A comprehensive approach to transforming corporate safety culture by engaging top management in regular audits (gemba), digitizing key HSE processes (audits, investigations, electronic permits-to-work), and replacing fines with positive motivation tools and pass blocking. Allocating specialized departments for safety culture development separates compliance tasks from cultural initiatives.
Contractor Management Strategy
A multi-stage contractor management system at a hazardous production facility, including prequalification at the tender stage, two-stage site admission, and continuous control. The practice integrates motivation tools (replacing fines with PPE purchases), regular contractor ranking, and cascading international Vision Zero and 5Z concepts.
Integrating Contractors into the Client's Digital Solutions
Integrating contractors into the client's unified digital environment using a large industrial complex as an example. Implementation of electronic permits-to-work, automation of audits, and incident investigations involving contractors.
