In order that the industrial safety audit at hazardous operation objects becomes a source of reliable information, it is required to develop the appropriate regulations and procedures. Inasmuch as Rostekhnadzor has aimed to cancel obligatory expertise of industrial safety, the function of the approval testing, at least to a certain degree, can be given to auditing. This article discusses two auditing scenarios: in case of systematic safety expertise at hazardous production objects and in case of no such expertise undertaken. A procedure is proposed, which allows control over conformance of actual performance specifications of rail transportation stock at an open pit mine to the industrial safety requirements in the frameworks of the safety audit. The procedure includes sampling braking tests, or the comparison of the actual braking performance indices of trains in the most hazardous sections of track with the braking parameters from the dynamic calculations. The method developed at the Institute of Mining, Ural Branch RAS enables taking into account the specific type of braking equipment, is based on the actual physical values and features higher accuracy. The case-studies of the braking test procedures and modeling are given.

In the analyzed materials of industrial incidents investigations, there is an incomplete volume of the established facts of the incidence and the causes of its occurrence. Often, when establishing the causes of incidents, biased decisions are made to establish the degree of guilt of the injured person in case of his gross negligence (from 5 to 100 %). The reason for this is the lack of regulatory and methodological documents regulating the procedures for establishing the fact of gross negligence and assessing the degree of guilt of the injured person as a percentage in an industrial incident. All this leads to an increase in the court proceedings, causing moral and material harm to the injured persons. The purpose of the work is to develop a methodology for assessing the degree of guilt of the injured person (insured) in case of his gross negligence based on of the equity principle of all the persons established by the commission for the investigation of an industrial incident in violation of the occupational safety requirements. The methodology is based on the methods of expert, point estimates and methods of incident analysis. Using this methodology, based on the materials of the investigation of a serious personal injury — the fall from the height that occurred with the driver of the tanker as a result of slipping on the slippery surface without the use of personal protective equipment, the main and related reasons of the incident were identified, the degree of guilt of the injured person and other participants of the event was established as a percentage. The developed methodology is aimed at the implementation of Article 229.2 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, makes it possible to bring clarity and transparency into the procedure for establishing the degree of guilt of the injured person (insured). The methodology will be useful for specialists in the field of occupational and industrial safety, state labor inspectors, insurers, representatives of the trade union organizations, i.e. all those who are directly involved in the commission for the investigation of industrial incidents.

Introduction. The paper considers the application of a risk-based approach to improving the level of safety of hazardous production facilities. The presented approach ensures optimal use of labor, material and financial resources, contributes to greater efficiency of state control and supervision bodies. Problem Statement. The analysis of the state of HPF industrial safety showed the need to change the principles of assessing the state and monitoring the compliance with industrial safety requirements. Reasonable methods should be used to adequately assess the safety of facilities and the frequency and validity of inspections. Theoretical Part. The use of modern tools for monitoring, collecting and storing information on the state of industrial safety will allow supervisory authorities to plan inspections of hazardous production facilities taking into account their actual condition. This can significantly reduce the administrative burden on businesses. Conclusions. The use of a risk-based approach in planning inspections will ensure a higher level of industrial safety without involving additional resources of regulatory authorities.

Stable Gas Condensate

Emergency situations at the oil wells are often caused by the formation of asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits. Removal of harmful deposits increases the efficiency of production wells, increases the turnaround time, prevents emergencies, and, also, reduces the likelihood of an explosive environment. According to the industrial safety requirements for hazardous production facilities it is necessary to take measures to eliminate the causes and prevent such accidents. Therefore, it is required to ensure timely efficient removal of deposits, which in turn requires the improvement of methods and technologies for cleaning wells. Gazprom Dobycha Orenburg LLC uses the technology of the wells heat treatment by means of injection of heated gas condensate. The thermal method of removal has a significant disadvantage, such as melting of the deposits instead of dissolving them, which leads to a rapid buildup of wax on the inner walls of the oilfield equipment. The method is proposed for removing asphalt-resin-paraffin deposits using a modified hydrocarbon solvent, which is obtained experimentally based of the stable gas condensate of the Orenburg oil and gas condensate field using cavitation-vortex effect. The new method is presented for obtaining a solvent by separating a gas condensate fraction using the single evaporation device operating at low temperatures. This method eliminates the influence of high temperatures traditionally used in the fractionating columns for separating gas condensate into fractions and ensures the safety of the technological process and labor of the employees.

Chernogosky open pit mine integrates truck-and-shovel system of mining with overburden rehandling to internal dump with a set of walking excavators for rehandling of overburden to mined-out area of the pit. It is possible to improve efficiency of stripping in the conditions of Chernogorsky OPM by reducing percentage of stripping with more expensive handling system. The relevant research and solutions to this effect are presented in this article. Comparative characterization of mining conditions and parameters of mining systems applied is given for open pit mines Chernogorsky, Turnui, Nazarovsky, Vostochno-Beisky and Izykh. The comparative analysis points at the need to account for difficulty of mining and process sites in comparison of equipment productivity. High concentration of mining machines, which is conditioned by narrow mining front and simultaneous operation of five faces, as well as blasting operation implemented every 1-2 days, are recognized as the main constraints of excavator capacity in mining with direct dumping in Chernogorsky open pit mine. The management and engineering solutions implemented in the mine and resulted in higher efficiency of draglines are described.
