Introduction. The article considers the problems of industrial injuries and accidents at gas supply facilities. Hazardous production facilities are characterized by an increase in accidents and injuries among workers. The article considers the peculiarities of occurrence of accidents and injuries in the operation of hazardous production facilities. Problem Statement. The purpose of the study is to analyze the statistics data and the materials of investigation of accidents and emergencies in hazardous industries, to determine the characteristic causes of injuries at work. Theoretical Part. The statistics on accidents and injuries during operation of gas facilities provided by the Federal State Statistics Service are used as basic information. Conclusion. The results of the analysis show that the main causes of accidents and emergencies are the causes associated with the human factor and equipment malfunctions. In order to improve safety and prevent injuries among workers, it is necessary to introduce an integrated approach and risk assessment, which will take into account all the factors and conditions that contribute to the occurrence of accidents and injuries at gas supply facilities.

Abstract This article lists the principles of fire risk assessment and management of electrical installations, provides the main terms used in this subject area, and their meanings. The article also talks about factors affecting the magnitude of fire risk (risk-forming factors). Special attention is paid to the human factor. Formulas for probabilistic assessment of fire risks of electrical installations and an algorithm for assessing the fire hazard of electrical installations, as well as a scheme of the algorithm for calculating individual fire risk are given.

Most pipeline leaks and ruptures can be attributed to some degree to human factors. Therefore, identifying, measuring and improving areas of potential human factor issues can greatly decrease the risk of pipeline failure. ‘Human factors’ refers to the study of various aspects of human characteristics and job experience, job and task design, tools and equipment design, and work environment which can affect pipeline operations and overall system performance. Enbridge Pipelines has developed a risk assessment model that assesses the risk of human factors along the company’s nationwide liquid pipeline system. The Human Factors Risk Assessment Model generates a risk score for each aspect of the pipeline as well as an overall risk score which highlights the business areas of highest concern. The implementation of the model included the execution of a pilot study to calibrate the model. To perform the pilot, data was collected from the control center, field and office locations through different methodologies such as survey, interview and databases available. The results from the control room operation surveys indicate that the main areas of human error potential in the control room can be mitigated by decreasing the number of manual calculations the operators have to complete and ensuring operators aren’t taking on extra work that should be completed by other areas. These workload improvements would decrease the chance of an operator having to complete two or more control operations at the same time. Lastly, controlling the amount of phone activities that interfere with monitoring and control operations also gives an opportunity to reduce the potential for human error in the control room. Improvements that can be made in the office to reduce human error potential include the development of a human factors standard and improving the critical procedure observation and management of change systems. Measuring, acknowledging and mitigating human factor risks at Enbridge will yield a decrease in the risk of pipeline failure across the entire liquid pipeline system.
