#Safety culture
Development of a proactive safety culture in production: mindful leadership, motivation programs, contractor engagement, and addressing the human factor. Transitioning from reactive oversight to integrated risk management practices.
Safety Leadership
The Total Safety Leadership corporate program for line managers and engineering staff, aimed at transitioning from reactive control to proactive safety management. It includes implementing safety talks, using open-ended question cards for dialogue with workers, and transforming behavioral safety audits (BBS) from a formal procedure into a tool for identifying systemic problems.
Training to Build Trust
In production, mentors help new employees overcome the fear of mistakes, master safe working methods, and prevent injuries. The article discusses a mentors' convention, where participants developed a checklist to revise the approach to training newcomers, and the "Safety First" tournament, which received more than 60 proposals. The participants' initiatives help create a developmental environment and make the work of new employees safer.
The "Right to Refuse Unsafe Work" Tool: What It Is and Why It Must Be Supported at All Levels
The article discusses the role of open dialogue and an employee's right to refuse to perform unsafe work in production. Using the example of a real case from the practice of the EVRAZ company, it is shown how timely refusal to perform dangerous maintenance of equipment helped to promptly set up a safe workplace and avoid injuries. The application of this tool draws attention to problem areas of the production process and allows involving workers in safety assurance matters.
Key Directions of EVRAZ HSE Management System Development
Transformation of the HSE management system in a large metallurgical company focusing on employee behavior change and safety culture development. Implementation of micro-injury recording tools, removal of LTIFR KPIs, and use of a digital risk heat map for proactive safety management in production areas.
Risk Identification Tools: Daily Monitoring, Safety Behavioral Audits, Improvement Proposals
A comprehensive risk identification system including daily monitoring, behavioral audits, and collecting improvement proposals. The practice aims to identify unconscious unsafe behavior and engage line managers and workers in the safety process.
Preparing Personnel for Inspections. A Course for Improvement
A systematic approach to preparing personnel for external and internal inspections, including the use of checklists for self-audits, training in behavioral standards when interacting with inspectors, and analyzing the root causes of identified non-conformities. The practice is aimed at reducing employee stress and turning inspections into a tool for process improvement.
Practical Skills Development Center: How to Foster Conscious Safety Attitudes Among Production Personnel?
Creation of an internal Practical Skills Development Center (PSDC) for training production personnel. The practice involves abandoning external training centers in favor of developing internal expertise, focusing on conscious safety attitudes, and practicing real skills (PPE usage, first aid, firefighting).
How to Retain Standards After Employee Training? Or Why Don't Employees Apply Acquired Knowledge in Practice?
A system for reinforcing safe behavior skills after training through practical exercises on the shop floor with mentors and regular retention assessment. It includes cascade training from top management to workers and a modular approach from simple to complex.
Developing Line Managers Through Safety Tools
A system for engaging line managers in safety processes through WISE Leadership training, an engagement matrix with activity scoring, and cascade meetings (SIM). The practice includes linking process audit results to the bonus system and using intangible motivation (team-building events, recognition program).
Development and implementation of digital technical control systems to correct dangerous personnel behavior
Implementation of a multi-level digital control system for dangerous personnel behavior at a large industrial enterprise. Use of UAVs, wearable DVRs, and surround view systems to monitor critical risks and create educational video content based on real violations.
How to Evaluate Employee Engagement in Safety Programs?
Transitioning from reactive safety indicators to proactive employee engagement assessment through near miss and low-level event registration. The practice includes transforming safety minutes into an experience-sharing tool for employees and implementing metrics for voluntary reporting of incidents without consequences.
Effective Tools for Engaging Employees in Creating Comfortable and Safe Working Conditions
Implementation of a continuous improvement system and a corporate portal to engage employees in HSE and healthy lifestyle topics. The practice includes a transparent idea submission algorithm, expert council evaluation with subsequent financial rewards, and regular sharing of best solutions between departments.
