The aim of this work is to improve the procedure for investigating industrial incidents. The article offers the methodology for assessing the degree of fault of the incident participants, including work injuries, based on a factor analysis of the event causes. Causal factors are divided into 20 groups, allowing to cover the entire spectrum of possible causes of any event. Brief description is given concerning the most often used methodology of incident analysis in the companies of fuel and energy complex. Based on the methods — Scale of events, Fault tree, and Five why — one of the most common incidents were analyzed, namely, falling on a flight of stairs of the office building during employee descending stairs. This incident belongs to the conditional group of End-to-end risks, that is risks inherent in all the workplaces at any enterprise. The causal factors and the exposure level on the participants of this event were determined, and the percentage of the victim's fault was calculated. The proposed methodology is based on the practice of internal investigation of incidents of the leading companies of fuel and energy complex. This methodology will help to eliminate gaps in the legislation, bring clarity and transparency to the procedure for investigating an industrial incident in terms of determining the degree of fault of the insured (victim) in case of gross negligence. The proposed methodology will be useful for specialists in the field of occupational and industrial safety, state labor inspectors and representatives of the trade unions.
It can be assumed that this methodology will motivate the employees of fuel and energy complex to work safely and increase the level of safety culture.
