SAFETY AND QUALITY MANAGEMENT IN THE ORGANIZATION USING RISK ASSESSMENT AT THE WORKPLACES OF PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

Abstract

Increasing the effectiveness of safety and quality management systems is one of the most important ways to ensure the sustainable development of any organization. Employment of people with disabilities is a significant challenge for safety and quality management systems, as it can potentially increase the risk of hazards related to employee injury or property damage due to growing manufacturing defects. Therefore, the implementation of an effective risk management system is an urgent problem. The article analyzes the ways of risk management at the workplace of people with disabilities using the clauses of probability theory. Calculation of the probability of influence the level of employee's work ability on the growth of risk in the context of safety and quality showed that the most effective way to minimize risk is to develop a flexible work schedule for employees with disabilities, as well as giving to the employee with a high degree of loss of professional ability such work production tasks, characterized by the circulation of low-value products. Calculations carried out using the Bayes` formula showed that the most effective way of managing safety and quality at the workplaces of employees with disabilities is to reduce the volume of production tasks. As a result of the calculation, it was determined that reducing the volume of production tasks by 10% decreases the probability of getting injuries of an employee with persistent functional changes in the health state by 11%. These measures will allow the organization to avoid severe restrictions on the level of working ability of persons with disabilities in their employment, as well as to minimize risks in the context of safety and quality of work.
