A Risk-Oriented Approach to the Safety of Labor Process



Annotation:

Within the framework of the legislation of the Russian Federation aiming to protect the life and health of employees, studies in the field of occupational risk assessment have become more relevant. Occupational risk assessment and management are one of the basic measures to prevent accidents and occupational illnesses, which facilitates the preservation of employees' health and positively affects the performance and efficiency of enterprises at large. The study aims to determine the causes of industrial accidents and assess occupational risks using probabilistic graphical models based on the example of industrial sectors of the economy. Today, a risk-oriented approach is the main mechanism of safety management that not only helps to identify potential threats but also to develop strategies to minimize them, thus ensuring a higher level of protection for employees. The following results have been obtained:  the data on the injury rate in various regions of the Russian Federation have been collected and processed; a methodological approach based on probabilistic graphical models allowing for the visualization of complex interconnections between various factors affecting labor safety has been developed. The implementation of the proposed approach will enable not only to minimize the number of industrial accidents but also to develop a safe working environment. The concept of the risk-oriented approach allows for the transition from the response actions to an accident to the prevention based on preventive measures.
