Safety as a Driver of Efficiency: Experience of RUSVIETPETRO JV LLC and SUEK-Khakassia
At many industrial enterprises, safety remains disconnected from operations and is perceived as a set of external restrictions or a belated reaction to incidents that have already occurred, rather than an integral part of crew work standards. At the same time, site supervisors often make "conscious compromises" with safety requirements for the sake of meeting immediate production targets, failing to realize that each such violation results in hidden equipment downtime, reduced machinery productivity, and direct financial losses.
Join our webinar where Andrey Paliy, Chief Engineer at RUSVIETPETRO JV LLC, and Ilya Musatov, Deputy Director for Occupational Safety and Production Control at SUEK-Khakassia, will examine how to make safety an integral part of operational efficiency: from embedding lean manufacturing tools into the daily routines of oilfield crews to accurately calculating the cost of operational violations at an open-pit coal mine.
10:00 – 10:45 Production System = Safe Operations: From Incident Response to Risk Management
Speaker: Andrey Paliy, Chief Engineer at RUSVIETPETRO JV LLC
Key discussion topics:
How the Production System helps transition from reacting to incidents to preventing risks
How Production System tools—crew work organization, SOPs, 5S, the "Got an Idea!" program, and lean manufacturing projects—become part of safe daily operations
How standardization and visual management help reduce the impact of human error and prevent unsafe acts
How engaging workers in continuous improvement builds a proactive safety culture
How to connect safety, people, standards, and continuous improvement into a unified system of sustainable production
10:45 – 11:30 Methodology for Assessing the Cost of Industrial Safety Compromises at an Open-Pit Coal Mine
Speaker: Ilya Musatov, Deputy Director for Occupational Safety and Production Control at SUEK-Khakassia
Key discussion topics:
Safety as a hidden reserve of operational efficiency
How safety control in open-pit mining increases heavy equipment productivity
The economics of sound decision-making when dealing with hazardous operational situations
Every conscious safety violation has an exact monetary cost
A proven methodology that translates operational violations in open-pit mining into direct financial losses for a surface coal mine caused by reduced truck-and-shovel fleet productivity
