Purpose: Develop a system of automated occupational health and safety management
to improve the procedure for minimizing occupational risks and ensure comprehensive
protection of employees from the impacts of negative factors of the systems "man - machine
- environment".
Design/methodology/approach: The following set of scientific methods was used in the
study: analysis of normative-legal documents and scientific-technical literature in the field of
building and functioning of occupational safety and health management systems, methods
of system analysis, simulation methods, namely discrete-event simulation (DES) of random
and dynamic processes, methods of decision theory and data mining.
Findings: Based on the results of the research, a system of automated occupational health
and safety management, which due to the connection the functionally independent elements
(according to a certain scheme) allows to provide comprehensive protection of employees
from the impacts of negative factors of the system "man - machine - environment" and
reduce occupational injuries and diseases, was developed. This is done by constant
monitoring and promt correcting of parameters of impact on the employee of the specified
factors. The developed system was implemented in the occupational health and safety
management system of the industrial enterprise "Stalkanat-Silur" (Odessa, Ukraine),
resulting in reducing the number of accidents, in particular, in dangerous areas of production
by 33.3%, increasing the economic efficiency of the enterprise through increasing the level
of productivity by 5% and reducing in the number of social insurance payments by 11%.
Research limitations/implications: The developed system can be implemented both
within separate industrial premises and in the enterprise as a whole, but the number of its
elements could be changed (increase / decrease) depending on the number of jobs and
dangerous areas that need control.
Practical implications: The implementation of the proposed system allows to increase
the level of economic efficiency of the enterprise by increasing the level of labor productivity
due to reducing the negative impact on the employee of harmful factors and compliance
with rational mode of work and rest in each workplace, as well as by reducing the number
of social insurance payments due to reducing the occupational injuries and diseases.
Originality/value: For the first time the system of automated occupational health and
safety, which, in contrast to existing automated occupational risk minimization systems and
traditional occupational health and safety management systems, provides comprehensive
protection of employees from the the impacts negative factors of the system "man -
machine-environment", by constant monitoring the parameters of such impact and their
prompt correction in case of deviation of the specified parameters from the set criteria, was
developed and proposed for use at enterprises, institutions and organizations.
