Abstract

Majority of industrial injuries continue to be caused by the human factor due to a low level of occupational safety culture. The international practice of forming the high culture of industrial safety has become widespread in the behavioral safety audit procedure, the implementation of which considers the methodological foundations of ISO 45001:2018 code Occupational health and safety management systems. Requirements and recommendations for use in the context of any of the selected business processes of the organization. In this study, based on the results of processing 1505 behavioral safety audits conducted at the gas transmission company, 4572 violations of employee actions and conditions at their workplace were identified. When analyzing the distribution of violations according to the observation criteria, it was established that the prevailing number of violations falls into three observation categories: Actions of employee/employees, Reaction of employee/employees and Workplace. Using statistical data processing, a correlation dependence was established between the number of detected violations and the category of observation. Analysis of the actions of employees and the conditions at their workplace allows to establish the potential severity of the consequences of violations for each type of incident and is an integral part of practical implementation of the concept of a risk-oriented approach of the industrial safety management system. Quantitative assessment of behavioral safety audit procedure results makes the industrial safety management system more adaptive, oriented on the research of the role of the human factor in the prevention of potential threats and detection of potential opportunities for the development of the organization. This contributes to ensuring the achievement of an acceptable corporate level of industrial safety culture, improvement of working conditions, and as consequence, reduction of occupational injuries and occupational illness.
