Industrial Safety Systems

The article analyzes existing industrial safety systems, explains the conditions for their implementation, and provides a benchmark based on key criteria. The most efficient safety system nowadays is rooted in the 1970s and has been evolving ever since, it however has a very limited diffusion and is employed, albeit with some reservations, primarily at large corporations. However, it mainly relies on the operations management practices, risk assessment, analysis and management techniques, as well as on equipment and technologies developed and tested in the 20th century. A drawback of modern security systems is their use of expert procedures, dependent on human factor for their performance. The next generation of industrial safety systems, which is only taking shape now, may access and use best practices and scientific achievements of the first quarter of the 21st century, including in the information technology sphere. This will enable achieving the goal of preventing severe and fatal injuries to employees and third parties, and also accidents and emergencies at production sites, which aligns with the «zero» goal. Moreover, the new generation of the safety system should have the capability to achieve the «zero» goal with reduced resource consumption, making it implementable not only in major corporations but also across small and medium-sized businesses. Based on the conducted analysis and the experience of implementing activites in industrial and labour safety in Rosneft Oil Company, main tasks and requirements for the new generation of safety system under development were determined.
