The analysis of regulations in the field of labour safety and risks management was conducted. Several systemic methodological problems relevant to labour safety management system were identified. The main problems, complicating the realization of occupational risks management process are: uncertainty of purposes, complication of realization procedure and absence of tools for its optimization. To eliminate these problems optimal method of occupational risks management, based on mathematical models, was developed and proposed. Results of this study prove that the models should include indexes relatedto expenditures on occupational safety and also to harmful factors and their influence on an employee. The proposed models can be concidered as two optimization tasks, aiming at maximization of employee's safety together with the minimization of expenditures on occupational safety. These tasks are related to the convex programming and can be solved both with numerical methods and with the using of the standard MS Excel programme pack.

The paper deals with an approach to occupational risk management based on the structuring of hazardous production situations (OPS) on the example of a coal open-cut. The possibility of using weight coefficients in determining groups of hazardous factors is shown, based on which the dominant contribution of technological and subjective factors is highlighted. An example of assessment of risks and opportunities as elements of occupational safety management based on GOST R ISO 45001-2020 is demonstrated.

The results of the authors’ research in more than 600 organizations have shown the labor protection specialist competence influence on the occupational risk management system state and the overall labor protection management system. It is revealed that the leading role in the labor conditions and safety improving strategy choosing and formation, as well as in the scientifically based method of professional risk assessment belongs to a labor protection specialist with a certain competence. The paper describes 16 occupational safety specialists’ professional competence levels and the main factors that determine their formation. The possibilities and abilities of specialists’ with different professional competence levels to assess professional risks are considered and presented in tabular form. About 100 data of different approaches and methods for assessing occupational risks are given, from which only a competent occupational safety specialist can choose the best method for his organization. His decision influences not only the assessing and managing professional risks procedure costs, determined by the particular method choosing, but also the overall occupational safety management system effectiveness in the organization. The conducted research has shown a significant occupational safety competent specialists role in ensuring the professional risks management in the organization and allowed to link his capabilities in assessing professional risks with his professional competence level. This information can motivate the employer to pay attention to the labor protection specialists’ role in ensuring the industrial safety and take care of their timely skills improvement.

AbstractThe need of ensure the safety in the realised industrial processes results directly from their negative influence both on environment and workers’ health, and, as a result – the associated material losses. Safety management must be based on the risk management, results of which are the basis of risk acceptability assessment and taking action of the systemic character directed on risk minimisation. Those actions should guarantee technical condition of the used technological installations and monitoring and control equipment as well as organisational solutions, which in the effective manner are going to minimise the probability of occurrence of environmental and occupational accidents, and – in the case of their occurrence – minimise the influences. Therefore research on the practical solutions of process safety assurance, both in the regular conditions of work and in the time of the emergency are of the crucial meaning. That is why the value of the paper is being constituted by the authorial model of operational control, which aim is to guarantee the process safety from the perspective of the both: technical and occupational safety. The worked out model is the systemic tool giving the guidelines of operational management and allowing for the homogeneous management in the range of environmental safety and occupational safety and on the basis of – being the fundamental element of the model – risk management. The worked out model can be implemented in case of any organisation which wants to assure the safety of the realised processes by risk and system management.

This article suggests ways to quickly assess the state of labor protection and ecology by calculating a number of indicators of industrial risk based on the information available in the modules for assessing labor protection by indicators of industrial risk. The efficiency of using the software proposed by the authors for the occupational health and safety management system based on a specific task from the modules "Personnel", "Events", "Equipment" and "Ecology", consisting of four main modules, is proved. In addition, this paper compares the matrix methods of risk assessment in the coordinate system "probability of an event or consequences of an event" of prevention and assessment of occupational risks for employees used in domestic and foreign practice in the occupational safety management system.Work on identifying harmful factors of accidents during the extraction, use and transportation of raw materials at industrial enterprises and assessing compliance with the requirements of the standards of the Republic of Kazakhstan should be carried out continuously. The main goal of the labor protection service is to create safe working conditions for employees at industrial enterprises, as well as to prevent occupational diseases of employees. In this regard, a system of accounting, analysis and assessment of the state of labor protection, as well as labor safety management, should work.

Patient safety is a system that makes patient care safer, including risk assessment, identificationand management of patient risks, incident reporting and analysis, the ability to learn from incidents andtheir follow-up, and implementation of solutions to minimize risks and prevent injury caused by errors.the result of carrying out an action or not taking the action that should be taken The importance of riskmanagement in the hospital is to minimize the number of unwanted events. Based on a preliminary studyof five medical record processing at the Dr Soediran Mangun Sumarso Wonogiri Regional Hospital, thebigger risk is filing, in the medical record unit there is no standard risk management operationalprocedure and there is no report related to risk management. This type of research is descriptive with across sectional approach. The subjects are the Facility Management and Safety coordinator, head ofmedical records, and head of filing. The object of the filing room and the risk management process. Theresearch instruments were observation guidelines and interview guidelines. Data analysis was carriedout by univariate. The results show that risk management at Dr Soediran Mangun Soemarso WonogiriHospital has been carried out. Safety Facility Management is a working group to plan risk managementin each unit. The medical record unit of Dr Soediran Mangun Soemarso Wonogiri Hospital implementsrisk management with an appropriate sequence of risk management processes starting fromcommunication consultation, scope of context criteria, risk assessment, risk treatment, monitoring andreview. In the filing section of the Dr Soediran Mangun Soemarso Wonogiri Regional Hospital, there isone important stage that is overlooked in the risk management process, namely the scope, context, andcriteria stages. The conclusion of this study is that the Facility and Safety Management section hasimplemented a risk management process in the medical record unit but has not been maximallyimplemented in the filing section.

The construction industry is one of the most traumatic industries, therefore, the improvement of the occupational safety and health management system (OSH) in construction is an urgent problem. The Russian government has set the task of reforming the national OSH on the basis of professional risk management, which will allow switching from the practice of responding to the incidents that have already occurred to preventive detection and elimination of potential threats. This article discusses the issues of the objective nature of occupational risks, methods for assessing the probability and severity of damage from risk events, and also provides recommendations on the content of the functional responsibilities of officials of the construction organization.

In developing and implementing the safety management System (SMS), which is mandatory in accordance with ICAO SARPs and the requirements of the air legislation of the Russian Federation, civil aviation aerodrome operators face methodological problems mainly in two components of the SMS – risk management and calculation of the safety performance indicators. To solve these problems, the article proposes to use a new approach for risk management in the airlines, developed by the Airline Risk Management Solution Group (ARMS). When adapting the method to the activities of the airport operator, the specifics of aviation events at the airport are taken into account. Manifestations of hazard factors in the form of events and deviations from the norms are proposed to be structured in accordance with the classification of activities in ground handling according to ISAGO Manual. A method for calculating and monitoring the safety performance indicator for the airport operator having extremely rare aviation events is proposed. The advantages of the ARMS approach in the implementation of the main prognostic part of the risk assessment, which directly considers the ability of the system to counteract the dangerous situation under the influence of hazards are shown. A threelevel scheme of safety management at the airport is proposed. The method proposed in the article was used as a basis for SMS implemented at two international aerodromes of the Russian Federation.

AbstractThe strategy should be designed in such a way as the risk management can operate not only as a system for avoiding losses, but also risk management should allow recognizing and making use of occasions and create new opportunities for the organization. Risk management includes both an evaluation (analytical and evaluation) undertaking as well as planning and control activities aimed at minimizing (reducing) risk or maintaining it at an acceptable level. Security management can in particular be reduced to the issue of risk management, because risk is a quantitative expression of the functioning of systems in an environment where there are active sources of threats to system security. The article presents the problem of personnel allocation in hazardous conditions, emphasizing the possibilities of undertaking optimization actions in the safety management process. A mathematical model was formulated for this issue. An algorithm solving the problem of personnel allocation is presented. The proposed analysis is the starting point for determining the risk when using multi-station work.


The article indicates the goals and objectives of risk management at industrial enterprises. The basic definitions of hazards and risks are given. In addition, they reviewed risk assessment methods related to the implementation of OSH management systems.

Esso Australia Ltd.'s current company-wide safety initiatives are aimed at challenging all employees and contractors to think about steps they can take to help move towards an injury-free workplace.The development and practical application of a number of occupational safety initiatives have contributed towards Esso employees achieving a period approaching 13 million workhours (nearly five years) without a Lost Time Injury (LTI) and which also assisted Esso's contractor workforce to achieve a period of more than 3 million work hours LTI free w hile performing exploration, heavy construction, drilling, production and maintenance operations.Esso produces 32 million litres of crude oil per day and up to 25 million cubic metres of gas per day from 18 Bass Strait platforms, and two onshore oil/gas facilities on behalf of the Esso/BHP Petroleum joint venture (Fig 1). More than 1200 employees and 800–1,000 contractors are involved in operations involving a high level of production drilling and construction activity.This level of safety performance has been achieved through the unwavering commitment and dedication from all levels in the organisation to create a safety culture which is genuinely accepted by employees and contractors as one of their primary core personal values.The framework for Esso's safety management is Esso's 'Operations Integrity Management System' (OIMS). This requires that all operations adopt a structured approach to safety management with particular emphasis on risk management including continuously looking for opportunities to improve safety management processes.We have been active in developing and refining innovative personal and work group risk management tools (Steback 5x5 and Task Analyss). These tolsare designed to promote increased levels of shop floor involvement in identifying and addressing safety issues, improving first line supervisor involvement and safety skills, and nurturing a '24-hour' safety culture which extends beyond the workplace into the home and family environment. The combined effect of these initiatives is helping create a mindset that n level of injury (not even first aid) is acceptable regardless of the activity being undertaken. It promotes the expectation that everyone approaches their daily work with the mindset that 'all injuries are preventable!'
