The study considers problems of motivation for compliance with industrial and occupational safety requirements by employees engaged in production facilities and the necessity of motivation to achieve the required protection level. A set of measures implemented at enterprises to ensure industrial and occupational safety has been outlined; special attention has been paid to the need for diagnostics of the psycho-physical state of employees, their training, and motivation methods (external and internal).
Most respondents have shown their interest in improving their knowledge to reduce accident risks at production. They believe that safety can be increased via the use of reminders at each stage of work. The study helped to identify the basic causes of low motivation for compliance with industrial and occupational safety rules and determine approaches to resolving the issue. The factors affecting low motivation and the degree of involvement in the process are insufficient attention to safety issues from the top management, insufficient involvement in the decision-making to improve safety, lack of material incentives for compliance with safety rules, and lack of opportunities for professional development.
Criteria enabling the establishment of safe activity motivation principles have been identified, and certain measures to improve motivation have been proposed. The respondents have listed the following methods to increase the motivation of employees of oil and gas production facilities in the area of industrial safety: practice-oriented training with visual aids and case studies, the use of both material and moral components of positive encouragement to reinforce safe behavior, re-evaluation of safety programs based on employees’ feedback, results of monthly surveys and studies, and video recording of the work process.
