The purpose of the article is to adapt the methodology of the labor protection benchmark for enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure of Ukraine, which consist in spreading best practices and best achievements in this sector. The article analyzes the death rate from industrial injuries in Ukraine and the world. Expenses of Ukrainian enterprises caused by accidents are presented. The dynamics of accidents at enterprises of the transport and road complex and the postal service industry for 5 years is presented. The main events and causes of industrial injuries at the enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure are considered. It is shown that non-compliance with the requirements of the labor protection instructions accounts for 42 % of all causes of occupational injuries in this area. The coefficients of the frequency of accidents related to production in commercial seaports of Ukraine from 2015 to 2019 are presented. The concept of "labor protection benchmarking" is revealed. A list of tasks of labor protection benchmarking at enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure of Ukraine has been developed, including: identifying weaknesses and strengths of the labor protection management system at enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure, developing models for rating the level of labor protection; establishing how competitors have succeeded in the field of labor protection; developing organizational and technical measures for labor protection; implementing the best methods of competitors; optimizing and building an effective system of work of the labor protection service; achieving results or at least approaching the results of the reference enterprise of the Ministry of infrastructure. Indicators of information that are necessary for labor protection benchmarking at enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure are presented. Sources of information are proposed for the survey of enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure. The originality of the work lies in the development of an algorithm for making managerial decisions for enterprises of the Ministry of infrastructure of Ukraine based on the provisions of labor protection benchmarking.

Development of scientifically sound measures for the prevention of occupational injuries based on the analysis of data on occupational injuries, including fatal in the forestry sector of Ukraine, to identify the main causes of such injuries. Based on the analysis, it was established that the level of occupational injuries in the forest industry was in one of the first places among all sectors of the economy of Ukraine. A step-by-step decision-making process was used to develop an algorithm for making managerial decisions. It was found that the accidents occurred mainly due to violations of safety requirements by employees, lack of control by officials of forest enterprises over the organization of safe work and due to violations of the technological process. The study was based on actual statistics of the State Labor Service on occupational injuries in the forestry sector. It is stated that the situation around the enterprises of the forest industry cannot be radically corrected without the introduction of an effective labor protection management system with elements of assessment and management of industrial risks. The obtained theoretical conclusions, based on statistical data on occupational injuries, have been brought to the level of specific proposals suitable for practical use in the planning of preventive measures for labor protection in the field of forestry. The necessity of actualization and improvement of normative-legal acts in the field of forestry is substantiated. The adoption of the "Minimum requirements for the safety and health of workers in forestry and greenery" is justified, which will expand the scope, namely: legal relations will be regulated by the type of work, and not just apply to economic entities who carry out certain activities; it is proposed to introduce a "labor safety coordinator".

Industrial Injuries

Indicators of industrial injuries in the Russian coal industry remain unacceptably high. Solutions to this problem should be sought in the way of accident prevention, which can be achieved through operational risk management of injuries, implemented by analyzing the state of labor protection for this factor, followed by determining the causes that lead to injuries. On the example of SUEK-Kuzbass JSC, the risks of light, severe, fatal and general injuries were calculated. Based on the individual regression coefficients of the obtained correlations of injury risks, the mines were ranked according to the level of industrial injuries. For a more detailed assessment of the state of labor protection, a matrix of the causes of accidents and their severity is proposed, which displays a qualitative description of the situation at the enterprise.

Future control of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic is dependent on the uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine. Many factors have swayed the public’s perception of this coronavirus and the new vaccinations, including misinformation, heightened emotions, and the divisive and tumultuous partisan climate. As such, vaccine hesitancy may be more prevalent for the COVID-19 vaccine than others. Healthcare workers are trusted sources of information and have the opportunity to influence an individual’s choice to take the vaccine. For those who initially present as unwilling to be vaccinated, trying to persuade them with facts and scare tactics may cause more resistance. By using the communication approach of motivational interviewing, practitioners can support autonomy to reduce defensiveness, use a guiding style to elicit ambivalence and provide information, address personal agency to ensure that their patients understand that their efforts can reduce risk, and evoke a person’s own argument for vaccination to decrease vaccine hesitancy.

Industrial Injuries

The task of improving the system of accounting and analysis of accidents at industrial enterprises for many years has not lost its relevance both in Kazakhstan and abroad. Identification of the root causes of accidents is an important stage for the development and implementation of preventive and adaptive measures to reduce the risk of injuries to employees of enterprises. The article analyzes the characteristics of the indicators of industrial injuries, which are result — oriented (after the fact) — lagging and process-oriented (forecast) - leading. Lagging indicators are a retrospective description of the state of labor protection at a production facility, while advancing indicators characterize already completed or current actions and predict the result of the productivity of measures. The expediency of using leading indicators for predictive assessment of the state of industrial safety and, as a result, the development of a systematic approach to minimizing the number of incidents is justified. Keywords: injuries, accidents, injury analysis, injury indicators, causes of injuries, agriculture.

The aim of the work is to study the possibility of usage the near-miss incidents as the indicators reflecting the level of potential hazard at the workplaces of workers, in particular with stable functional changes in the state of health. This approach is of great preventive value, since it allows obtaining the information about the level of hazard even before it is realized in the form of a certain undesirable event, such as an accident or a casualty. Research methods. The information about near-miss incidents and the potential consequences of hazard realization was obtained using a questionnaire of employees with subsequent statistical processing of the results. Results. Based on the results of studies of near-miss incidents at the workplaces of various groups of workers, it was determined that disability and the severity of disabilities affect the frequency and potential severity of these incidents. In comparison with the control group of workers who did not have stable functional changes in their health, in the process of performing production tasks by workers with II disability group, near-miss incidents occurred 36% more often, and with workers of III group – by 22%. Increase of the potential severity of incidents depending on the group of disability is determined. The scientific novelty lies in the development of ways to use near-miss incidents as indicators of the level of hazard at the workplace of workers with disabilities. The practical significance lies in obtaining information about the frequency and possible severity of near-miss incidents at the workplaces of workers using the example of a metalworking workshop at the enterprise in Kharkiv. The introduction of the procedure to collect information about near-miss incidents with subsequent data processing allows forming data for making managerial decisions to improve the OSH management system at the enterprise and develop effective measures to prevent industrial injuries.
