#Safety briefing
Transformation of the occupational safety briefing system: from boring monologues to interactive dialogues. Presents the transition to microlearning methodologies before dangerous tasks. Highlights the practice of quality pre-shift safety minutes, visualized memo sheets, video briefings, and interactive check-lists.
The Psychology of Safety Briefings
The article examines the psychological aspects of conducting occupational health and safety briefings and explains why they are often perceived as a formality. The author explains how a competent presentation of information and a clear explanation of cause-and-effect relationships between employee actions and risks help make the briefing effective. The article analyzes the impact of content quality and the specialist's personal involvement on shaping safe behavior in both young and experienced e...
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.
Delivering the Main Message is Key
The practice of conducting "safety contacts" is intended to engage employees in discussing safety issues at work and at home, as well as to build a culture of safe behavior. The article analyzes typical errors in applying this tool, including replacing it with a briefing, conducting it on a schedule, or assigning this task to the occupational health and safety department. The text explains how to properly convey the key message and select topics in order to form a habit among the team of looking...
Communication with Contractors
The article examines the practice of regular communication with contractor organizations using the example of the monthly "Safety Day" event held at OTEKO. The meeting is chaired by the Construction Director with the participation of executives from the customer, general contractor, and subcontractor organizations, and is dedicated exclusively to production safety issues. The event serves as a single communication and discussion platform for analyzing incidents, summarizing work results, and fre...
Risk Assessment Analysis Cards – Preserving Life and Health
The article is dedicated to Risk Assessment Analysis Cards (KAOR) — a visual tool of the company Asia Drilling that describes in detail the hazards and measures to minimize them when performing various works. The material explains how the cards and their accompanying memos are used during mandatory briefings and for self-study by employees. Compliance with the measures described in KAOR enables drilling crew personnel to prevent injuries and preserve life and health.
Using Visual Instructions for Newly Arrived Contractors, Including Key Contact Numbers and a Site Map with Work Locations
The article examines the development and use of a visual guide featuring a site map and important telephone numbers for newly arrived contractors. The material describes the main steps in creating it — from marking key facilities and traffic routes to adding visual elements, conducting briefings, and collecting feedback. Using such a format helps newly arrived contractors adapt to the new location faster and perform their work effectively.
Digital Tools for Developing a Safety Culture
Implementation of a set of digital tools for HSE management: remote induction training with testing, pre-shift knowledge testing, online booking for knowledge checks, and an electronic permit-to-work system. The practice aims to reduce bureaucratic barriers, continuously monitor the competencies of staff and contractors, and adapt software to existing enterprise business processes.
Digitalization of Access Control: New Horizons of Safety
Implementation of a comprehensive access control system for high-risk work, including the personal presence of experts ("demonstration access"), continuous video recording of the process using mobile recorders, and testing of stationary neural network video analytics complexes. The practice aims to eliminate a formal approach to pre-shift briefings and PPE checks, as well as to build trusting relationships between personnel and regulatory bodies.
Pre-Shift Control of Workers on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 Platform
Creation of a unified digital ecosystem for pre-shift control based on the 1C:Enterprise 8.3 platform. The single-window principle is implemented in shift centers, combining data from HR, medical staff, security, and HSE to automate personnel clearance for remote sites.
Master Class "Public Speaking Skills"
Developing public speaking and effective communication skills for HSE specialists. Practice includes mastering presentation structure, timing management, eliminating filler words, and holding audience attention during briefings and meetings.
Safety Memo
Safety memos are developed for new employees, contractors, and visitors so that they can know and understand the features of the facility. Posting notices with a QR code allows downloading the document to a mobile device and reduces the amount of printed materials. Having a memo helps reduce the likelihood that a worker will forget or miss something during the introductory briefing.
Our Approaches to HSE Training Require Changes
Transformation of HSE training approaches through simulated methods and gamification. Using interactive warm-ups, business games, situation analysis, and proprietary board/floor games to engage managers and workers in the learning process and realize the value of safe behavior.
