IMPROVING PERFORMANCE OF THE PRODUCTION CONTROL BASED ON A RISK-BASED APPROACH AT JSC SUEK-KRASNOYARSK

Abstract

The article presents the results of the measurements of JSC SUEK-Krasnoyarsk to ensure a level of production safety adequate to the level of economic efficiency of the mining company.

Analysis of occupational injuries at the company's enterprises showed that the risk of injury remains high. The results of investigations into the causes of fatal and severe injuries allowed us to establish that the prerequisites for these injuries were not obvious – both for the injured personnel and for their managers. To eliminate this situation, an effectiveness assessment of the production control at JSC SUEK-Krasnoyarsk was carried out, according to the results of which a priority task was set: the development and the implementation of a methodology for reducing the risk of injury by organizing risk-oriented production control.

The idea of solving this problem is to achieve control of safe parameters of the production process based on the recognition at early stages of the prerequisites for the emergence and development of hazardous production situations and control of those factors that lead to the realization of a dangerous situation in an injury.

The basis of risk-based production control at the company's enterprises were control and elimination of hazardous production situations and ensuring the performance completeness of safety functions. The main contours of production control – control of requirements (detection of violations), control of existing hazards in production, control of prerequisites for the formation of dangerous situations – complement each other and must work simultaneously.

A prerequisite for the transition to risk-based production control is a significant increase in the completeness of the function in terms of recognizing and controlling the prerequisites for dangerous situations at each level of production management.

The developed methodological support has been tested and mastered at SUEK enterprises in the Krasnoyarsk Territory, and the results of this activity are regularly analyzed and summarized. Its implementation has made it possible since 2019 to significantly reduce the risk of injury with severe consequences in the region as a whole, by controlling and eliminating hazardous production situations and, as a result, preventing their development to an accident or injury.
