SCIENTIFIC GUIDELINES FOR THE PREVENTION OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES CAUSED BY WORKERS STAYING AT THE WORKPLACE IN A STATE OF ALCOHOLIC DRINKING

Development of scientifically based measures for the prevention of occupational injuries due to alcohol intoxication of workers are based on modeling of the labor protection system. In order to develop effective preventive measures to prevent accidents at work, the mathematical model of the labor protection system (OS) was built, which takes into account many indicators that assess violations of labor and industrial discipline related to alcohol consumption. The study was based on actual statistics on occupational injuries. The application of the method of mathematical modeling on the basis of injury indicators is justified, as the proposed approach allows to ensure the targeting of preventive measures, the complexity and alternative solutions to problems, the objectivity of management decisions. The proposed scientific approaches to the development of preventive measures for labor protection allow to increase the level of industrial safety, optimize the size of penalties for violations of labor and industrial discipline, regulate relations arising in the course of work related to alcohol consumption in the workplace. Limitations / implications of research. The developed scientific approaches to the prevention of occupational injuries due to alcohol intoxication of workers are universal, they can be applied to different sectors of the economy. Practical consequences. The obtained theoretical conclusions, based on statistical data on occupational injuries, are brought to the level of specific proposals suitable for practical use in the planning of preventive measures for labor protection at enterprises. The presented scientific approaches to solving management problems in labor protection are based on a component method of assessing the occurrence of traumatic events due to violations of labor and production discipline by both employees and employers. For a comprehensive analysis of industrial risks, the main and concomitant causes that led to accidents due to alcohol intoxication of workers were taken into account. This allowed to provide a systematic approach to the assessment of production conditions and behavioral reactions of staff.

Надзор фабричной инспекции за промышленными заведениями Российской империи XIX — начала XX веков

The value of supervision over industrial institutions at the stage of active formation of industrial production in Russia in the 19th — early 20th centuries is shown. The role of the factory inspectorate and other state bodies aimed at controlling the production process, as well as the spheres of interaction of the enterprises with the state is defined in the article. Based on the example of the activities of the factory inspectorate, the criteria are formed to determine the desired balance of rights and obligations in the structure of legal relations, which is required to comply with the interests of the state and business entities. Delineation of the powers of the factory inspectorate helps to identify the areas where state control is needed. At the same time, further study of the implementation of control and supervisory functions of the state in the field of industrial production is substantiated. The need to regulate this kind of relationship is indicated considering the modern realities where the merger of technological and organizational processes is objectively taking place, and the algorithms are built into the structure of legal relations. The issues of legal regulation of the industrial sector of the economy raised in the study indicate the unsolved fundamental problems of the theory of law, namely, the scope and significance of technical and legal regulation in the mechanism of management of the society, its scope in the structure of social regulation. The studied historical material allows to assert that the supervision in industry creates the basis for safety and real labor protection at the industrial objects. Introduction of the institute of factory inspectors became an important factor in building the labor protection system at the factories and plants. With the help of this institute, the norms were implemented aimed at ensuring trouble-free functioning, including at explosive and fire-hazardous industries of the Russian Empire in the 19th — early 20th centuries.

SWOT ANALYSIS OF THE IMPLEMENTATION OF DIGITAL TECHNOLOGIES TO ENSURE OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY

The business community and governments around the world are aware of the need to accelerate the process of digitalization and digital transformation of the economy in order to achieve a competitive position in the digital space of the new world economy, including in the field of occupational safety management (SWOP). The mechanism of digitalization in OSH remains insufficiently studied, which necessitates the development of tools for its implementation, evaluation and management. The benefits of digitalization for industrial safety are incredibly high: it is easier to manage resources, and quick access to more information about the use of personal protective equipment, training, medical examination, etc., the formation of digital culture. The purpose of this research was to consider the prospects and problems of implementation of information technology in the field of occupational safety, identify features of industrial enterprise management in the context of digitalization. To achieve this goal, the method of SWOT-analysis was used. The study revealed some problems in the implementation of digitalization in the management system of labor protection. The spread of digital technologies in all sectors of the economy and vital spheres of society actualizes the study of the degree of readiness for change, which involves monitoring the state of occupational safety. Transformations in the labor market and ensuring the safety of the production process are associated with job losses, the emergence of new professions and changes in the competencies of employees. Digitalization is aimed at the introduction of adaptive practices of professional development, the development of motivation in the implementation of all instructions on occupational safety.

SYSTEMATIC APPROACH TO WORK SAFETY MANAGEMENT IN THE WORKPLACE

Occupational safety management in our country no longer meets modern requirements for occupational safety in the workplace and needs to be improved, in particular through the introduction of a risk-oriented approach to the assessment of production factors. The use of risk-oriented approach system to safety management in the workplace is substantiated in this work, and it is the primary link in the management system of labor protection and its optimal (comfortable) organization significantly affects the production environment, safety and staff productivity. A structural and logical model of the incident at the workplace is proposed and possible dangerous events, the development of which in space and time can lead to its implementation are identified. Dangerous events can be caused by both - the actions of the employer and the employee, as well as external factors. All considered dangerous events are random in nature, so methods of general theory of random process control, simulation and Boolean algebra are used for their analysis. According to this model, workplace safety management involves identifying the factors that are most likely to be present in the workplace and justifying measures to reduce the frequency of their occurrence and increase the level of safety. It is shown that the use of a systemic risk-oriented approach to safety management in the workplace will allow to identify the factors that are most likely to cause accidents and to develop appropriate measures to eliminate them. In a market economy, an important point in occupational safety management at all levels is to resolve the compromise between the economic feasibility of economic activity and social responsibility of the state in a way that reduces production risk, namely - maintaining human-centric economic development. Finding such a compromise is difficult and problematic, as it is difficult to compare in commensurate units the economic performance of economic activities with social losses due to accidents and occupational diseases at work. In the conditions of decentralization, when the role of supervisory bodies over the state of labor protection is reduced, it is very important to form elements of labor protection culture in employees and managers. Improving public and cultural education on occupational safety remains a priority of our country's public policy, in particular through higher education, which trains highly qualified workers and senior managers who are personally responsible for occupational safety at each workplace.

Labor safety as a social component of the national security of Ukraine in the context of European integration: legal aspect

Problem setting. Social stability, a high-quality living standard for the population, and the creation of prerequisites for a decent level of living and development of society directly depend on the level of ensuring social security as a component of the national security of Ukraine.
 Recent research and publications analysis. Some aspects of the regulatory labor protection support are shown in the works of M. Baru, V. Venediktova, S. Voloshyna, D. Karpenko, L. Lazor, I. Shamshyna, V. Chernadchuk, O. Yaroshenko, and others. However, the peculiarities of labor protection as a social component of national safety in the context of Ukraine’s integration into the European Union require some further scientific research, and the regulation of these features definitely needs to be improved.
 The article aims to analyze the regulatory support of labor safety as a social component of national security, taking into account the processes of European integration of Ukraine, and to clarify the regulatory context of reforming its system.
 Highlighting previously unsettled parts of the general problem. The contradiction and inconsistency of the provisions in the Ukrainian legislation as for labor safety and the presence of numerous gaps in it determines the necessity to study this problem of the regulatory support for labor protection as a social component of the national security of Ukraine in the context of European integration.
 Paper main body. The main priority for ensuring national security is the protection of life and health, human and civil rights, and freedoms. National security is a system of measures to ensure the state of the Ukrainian people (nation) as an independent subject of political power and an equal participant in international relations, the bearer of sovereignty and the main source of power in their country, when the vital interests of a person and citizen, society and the state are optimally balanced and protected. There are no threats to the national interests, national values, and national way of life, and its independence, stability, self-development, and progress are ensured. National security is a complex multidimensional phenomenon that combines military, social, economic, political, informational, and environmental components. So, labor safety is an important social component of national security, because it provides for the adoption of necessary measures aimed at preserving life, health, and working capacity of a person in the process of work and avoiding accidents in future. Providing public stability and meeting Ukrainian national interests largely depends on ensuring labor safety.
 The law of Ukraine “On labor protection” of 14.10.1992 establishes a single procedure for organizing labor protection by regulating relations between an employer and an employee on issues of labor safety, health and the working environment, and the determination of basic provisions on the realization of the constitutional right of workers to protection of their life and health in the course of labor activity, to proper, safe and healthy working conditions.
 Ukrainian legislation defines labor protection as a phenomenon related to almost all spheres of society (socio-economic, political, legal, etc.). At the same time, the scientific community considers the concept of labor protection in various aspects.
 In this case, the concept of “labor protection” covers its definition of “labor safety” as the protection of the employee from the risks associated with the labor process.
 Thus, labor safety as an element of worker protection is the social component of national security that involves necessary measures to saving human life, health, and working ability and avoiding future accidents.
 Conclusions of the research and prospects for further studies. Based on the previous information, we can conclude that labor safety is an important social component of the national security of Ukraine. The international legal system and European standards of labor protection are based on the principles of protection and defense of human and civil rights. Therefore, the adaptation of local legislation to international and European legislation will help to improve existing legal norms and create new ones that will contribute to labor safety and stability in society and strengthening the national security of Ukraine.
 In the case of Ukrainian adaptation to international and European legislation, the requirements of European norms and standards in the field of labor safety provide for the solution of the following urgent tasks: ensuring safe working conditions, prevention of occupational injuries and diseases, providing the safety of products and services. At the same time, the use of economic levers and incentive principles is crucial.
 Legislative adaptation has to be based on systematic and preventive approaches to ensure workers their labor safety and health.

До питання впровадження ризикоорієнтованого підходу у сфері організації охорони праці в законодавстві України

The article is devoted to the analysis of the state of introducing a risk-oriented approach in the field of labor protection at the legislative level in Ukraine. It has been found that the main reason for the high level of production injuries and occupational diseases is bases the existing normative acts on labor protection on the «jet principle». The importance of introducing a risk-oriented approach to the organization of labor protection in Ukraine is emphasized as an objective need to withstand labor protection in our country for a qualitatively new level, and the need to comply with international standards in the field of security and health of employees. As a result of the analysis of prospective legislation on occupational safety, in particular the draft Law of Ukraine «On Safety and Health of Workers at Work», concludes on the election of the correct vector of renewal of labor protection legislation in terms of introducing a risk-oriented approach in the field of occupational safety. The draft Law of Ukraine «On Security and Health of Workers at Work» in general meets international standards in the field of occupational safety and allows to solve the main problems in terms of motivation of employers and employees to comply with the legislation on labor protection. This may contribute to the draft laws: about improvement of the settlement of employers' responsibility for violating the requirements of labor protection legislation; About the size and ways of forming the amount of financing of labor protection due to a preliminary assessment and analysis of industrial risks. An analyzed draft law in case of its adoption can reduce bureaucratic pressure on employers and give it a larger freedom to organize the protection of labor at the level of an entity, promptly responding to changes in production processes and economic conditions.

Methods of Improving the Safety of Drilling Works

The article sets the task of developing methods to enhance the safety of drilling operations. The methods should be based on the relationship of technical measures for the mechanization and automation of drilling operations and the level of their safe performance. The measures being developed at oil producing companies to improvement of labor protection conditions and improvement of the labor protection system of most oil producing companies show that the development of such measures does not at all touch upon the issues of enhancing the level of safety during oil production technological processes. Therefore, the task is to maximize the mechanization and automation of these types of work during well drilling in order to increase the safety of their production. Thus, a conceptual approach has been identified for solving the posed problem of increasing the safety of technological processes of oil production. A model has been developed for assessing the effectiveness and efficiency of work safety using a systematic approach to describing the work safety model.

Problem Statement. The purpose of this study is to analyze the existing methods of assessing professional risks, analyze the labor protection system at the drilling enterprise, and develop a methodology for assessing professional risks for the drilling enterprise. Theoretical Part. The existing methods for assessing professional risks and the enterprise standard were used as basic information. Conclusion. The improved technique will reduce the degree of risk, prevent accidents at work and generally be used at other enterprises.

On one method of risk evaluating in geotechnical mechanics tasks

To increase the efficiency of the existing labor protection system at industrial enterprises of Ukraine, there was a need for its improvement. It was decided to do it based on systems management of labor protection and risk control. However, it turned out that risks can be identified not in each technical system. Most of the processes in technical applications are deterministic, and therefore the concept of risk is not applicable, since none of the parameters of the system is a random variable. Since it is impossible to determine the degree of risk, then the only possible way out is to assess a degree of influence of this or that parameter on the performance of the entire system. So, for deterministic mathematical models (MM), the influence of the parameters can be determined by the methods of the theory of sensitivity (ST). However, the ST has not yet received widespread use in technical applications due to the significant complexity of research. In order to determine sensitivity, it is proposed to use in technical applications performance criterion approximation, which characterizes the risk of the process going beyond the performance limits, instead of ST. If approximation of a selected criterion is represented in the form of a product of power functions, each of which depends only on one parameter, then, according to the exponents, it is possible to approximately establish its sensitivity to variations in the parameters. The greater is an exponent, the more this parameter influences the criterion. Thus, it is possible not only to carry out an approximate assessment of the influence of the parameters on the criterion itself, but also to make conclusions regarding the risk of the system going beyond the permissible limits. The experience of successful use of the method of sequential approximation (SAM) in applied problems of mechanics allows not only to obtain an analytical form of the criterion at a point, but also to expand a solution of practical problems to the entire domain of function. The errors of such expanding, as a rule, do not exceed 5‑7 %, which is sufficient for most applied problems of geotechnics. The accuracy of determining the criterion can be increased to the required level by narrowing an area of its definition, i.e. parameter change intervals. A hypothesis of existence of representation of functions in the form of a product of functions, each of which depends on one parameter, is formulated. The efficiency of the use of power functions for an approximate assessment of the system risks when it going beyond the limits of operability is shown. Keywords: theory of sensitivity, variation of parameters, approximation of a function, approximate estimate, small error.

IMPROVING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF MEASURES FOR THE PREVENTION OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURY ON THE BASIS OF MODELING THE OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY SYSTEM IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING

The purpose of this work іncreasing the effectiveness of measures for the prevention industrial injuries on the basis of modeling the labor protection system in mechanical engineering. To develop effective management decisions on industrial safety, mathematical model of the labor protection system for mechanical engineering was built. It was taking into account the legal, socio-economic and organizational components. The studies was based on actual statistical data of the causes and consequences of occupational injuries in mechanical engineering over 12 years. The feasibility of using the method of mathematical modeling based on indicators of injury is justified, since this approach links preventive measures in the field of labor protection with the results of risk assessment and reduces the subjectivity of management decisions. The mathematical model of the labor protection system allows to increase the effectiveness of measures to reduce production risks in mechanical engineering, taking into account the actions or inaction of the employee and the employer, and to optimize the amount of penalties for the employee and employer for violation of labor and production discipline. The expediency of introducing the effective legal mechanism for regulating the responsibility of the employee and the employer as subjects of labor law for meeting labor protection requirements has been substantiated. The proposed measures for the prevention of industrial injuries are universal. The algorithm for making management decisions to reduce the risk of injuries in mechanical engineering, which involves the use of criteria for selecting measures based on the results of mathematical modeling of occupational safety (employee, employer). The proposed approach to occupational safety management in mechanical engineering enterprises is based on a component method of assessing the occurrence of traumatic events due to the actions or inaction of the employee and the employer. This model differs from the existing ones because it takes into account the available statistical information related to the risk of dangerous situations in the industry and the level of employee and employer compliance with occupational safety regulations stimulates prevention and allows to establish the dependence of production risk labor protection and reduce the impact of the subjective component of expert judgments.

PROSPECTS OF DIGITALIZATION IN THE FIELD OF OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

The modern world is impossible to imagine without digital technologies that are implemented in all areas of activity, including helping to address occupational safety. The purpose of this work was to consider the prospects and problems of implementation of information technology in the field of occupational safety, as well as ways to improve the use of digital technologies by health and safety professionals for more effective risk management and safety. Digitalization (digitalization) in labor protection is a transformation of OSH, which involves the use of digital technologies to optimize management, increase company productivity and improve working conditions and reduce the number of occupational diseases and accidents. The main procedures of digitalization, which are implemented in the field of labor protection, are highlighted. The main components of successful implementation of digital solutions in occupational safety are highlighted. The conditions for the introduction of digitalization in the management system of labor protection are formed. Various innovations, from process automation to the proliferation of field sensors and the transition to predictive analytics, will allow employees and organizations to make significant improvements in health and safety if they are able to take advantage of the opportunities that open up. In the coming years, there will be a shift from passive monitoring to specific recommendations that will give people software applications. Gadget data collected by gadgets will be used to assess occupational risk and occupational disease insurance. There are already examples of testing these technologies to increase productivity and reduce employee injuries. The considered technologies do not appear and are not used alone, the interconnected and complex, system approach is usually observed. Thus, all the tools listed in the introduction of digital technologies in the modernization of occupational safety management contribute to reducing the number of accidents.

The example of evaluating the effectiveness of the management system of la-bor protection of the enterprise with the method of multicriteria selection of alternatives based on a fuzzy advantage ratio

The management system of labor protection (MSLP) is an effective tool, which allows the business entity to provide the proper level of labor protection on the enterprises, that corresponds to the requirements of safe and healthy conditions of work for employees. The approaches of construction and functioning of MSLP are improving based on international experience. In 2018 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved “The concept of reforming the management system of labor protection in Ukraine”, which basing on a risk-oriented approach determines the principles, directions and tasks of building a system of labor safety and health in Ukraine and aims to create the national system of production risks prevention and to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for employees. This article deals with the use of the method of multicriteria choice of alternatives based on fuzzy advantage ratio in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the labor protection management system of enterprises, that allows more objectively identify threats to efficiency of MSLP of the specific business entity. There are some examples of usages of this method to solve issues related to ensuring the economic security of economic entities. Based on those scientific works authors tried to evaluate the effectiveness of functioning of MSLP. The solution of this problem was carried out on the example of a specific chemical enterprise. The department of Life Safety of the National Forestry University of Ukraine has carried out significant work to identify threats to efficiency of MSLP, related to the activities of the labor protection service, which in this article are considered as a set of acceptable alternatives and could be the threat for MSLP efficiency. Also, there were identified some criteria for selecting among the identified threats (acceptable alternatives): the threat occurs infrequently and irregularly; the appearance of threats from time to time; threat occurs frequently and regularly (recurrence of the threat) over a period of time. In the course of the work, the most significant threats were found. That is, the problem of rational choice of alternatives from a certain set X was solved, for which some fuzzy advantage ratio is given g1, g2, g3 with the function μgj : X × X → (0, 1). To solve the problem of multicriteria selection described above, was select an effective method of convolution of the vector criterion into a scalar. The results show that the most significant threats to efficiency of MSLP of the enterprise that was analyzed is an excess of the frequency of injuries at the enterprise over the frequency in the industry and a gross violation of occupational safety rules, accidents. The results obtained indicate that an accident has occurred or may occur at the assessed enterprise. The use of the method of multi-criteria selection of alternatives on the basis of a fuzzy ratio of advantages in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the management system of labor protection of the enterprise allows more objectively identify shortcomings of MSLP, that potentially lead to undesirable consequences and, accordingly, take the necessary measures in time to normalize the situation.

The necessity of digitalization for the industrial safety and labor protection system has been demonstrated.

Ways to improve OSH management system efficiency

Problem statement . High level of occupational injuries at enterprises in the construction industry makes necessary to conduct studies aimed at improving the effectiveness of the OSH management system with regard to a systematic approach. However, the OSH management system has not yet been studied from these perspectives. The purpose of the article is to research the improvement methods to identify the risks of dangerous situations, taking into account action or inaction of an employee and an employer, by developing the mathematical model of a labor protection system and measures to increase its effectiveness, as well as by implementing mechanisms to stimulate employers to improve working conditions and workers to meet the requirements of regulatory legal acts on labor protection. The mathematical model of labor protection system has been developed, its efficiency has been evaluated, methodology and criteria for the quantitative assessment of accident risks, based on indicators how the employee and the employer follow labor protection legislation, have been improved. Scientific novelty and practical significance . The studies performed by the authors slightly changed the approach to the assessment of production risk, as they associated it with the participants in the labor process, whose actions or negligence lead to its occurrence, which made it possible to assess the true situation of labor protection at enterprises in the industry. It was based on the results of the experiments, the indicators were obtained using the risk-based approach and database of statistics on injured people in the industry, which is constantly updated. The mathematical model of the labor protection system has been developed. The size of the indicator of economic motivation is mathematically justified as the way of stimulating the employer to create safe working conditions and observe the requirements of regulatory and legal documents on labor protection.

Revisitando a dignidade da pessoa humana em tempos de desconstrução de direitos sociais fundamentais (educação e trabalho): contributo de Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola

Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola desenvolveu a ideia de que o homem pode ascender na cadeia das criaturas pelo exercício de suas capacidades intelectuais o que seria a garantia de dignidade da existência humana na vida terrestre, contribuindo para a compreensão da dignidade da pessoa humana nos pactos internacionais, bem como na Constituição brasileira de 1988. O respeito à dignidade da pessoa humana permite a concretização dos direitos fundamentais sociais dos cidadãos, mas, na atualidade brasileira, tem-se visível afronta à sua fundamentalidade, em especial na área da educação e do trabalho. Houve a aprovação da ‘reforma’ trabalhista (Lei nº 13.467/2017) que esgarçou o sistema juslaboral de proteção e a adoção na educação superior pública da figura do docente voluntário. Tais situações promovem profundo retrocesso social no Estado Democrático de Direito mediante a desconstrução de direitos sociais fundamentais dos cidadãos brasileiros

IMPROVING THE FUNCTIONING EFFICIENCY OF THE LABOR PROTECTION SYSTEM

Problematic issues of labor protection in Ukraine, which are primarily related to the ineffectiveness the system of management of occupational safety and the high level of occupational injuries in comparison with other countries, are particular importance and at the present stage require systematic study. The approaches to increasing the effectiveness of the SOUP that are proposed are based on the mathematical modeling of the "labor protection" system and the risk-oriented approach. To construct the mathematical model of the "labor protection system" it have been formed the set of indicators, which are characterizing the inputs of the external environment, the internal state of the system and its initial characteristics. The basic generalized indicators that describing each subsystem of the "labor protection system" were determined and the level of influence of each subsystem as well as their joint influence on the effectiveness of the functioning of the "labor protection" system were estimated. The assessment of the "labor protection" system was carried out according to the indicators of occupational injuries. The results, that were obtained, make it possible to unify and regulate the procedure for the development of scientifically grounded management decisions aimed at increasing the effectiveness of the functioning of the "labor protection" system at the sectoral and national levels.

SCIENTIFIC PRINCIPLES OF LABOUR PROTECTION EFFICIENCY INCREASING IN UKRAINE

An in-depth analysis shows that the system of management of labor protection no longer meets the modern requirements of labor protection and requires reform. Improvement of the labor protection system in Ukraine includes the following aspects: economic factors of labor protection; harmonization of industrial relations in the system of employer-employee; risk-oriented approach to the estimation of production factors; a system for managing occupational safety requires a well-built and multi-faceted information network, necessary for decision-making; Implementation of the Concept of Reforming the system of labor protection management in Ukraine on the basis of modernization of legislative acts in the field of labor relations, including labor protection, taking into account world experience and almost thirty years of existence of an independent Ukrainian state.
