Functioning of a modern occupational safety management system

Introduction. The Government of the Russian Federation set a task to reform the traditional model of occupational safety management and create a modern occupational safety management system (OSMS) based on the implementation of practical procedures that are characterized as “occupational risk management”.

Methodology. In modern conditions, the concept of “acceptable risk” is used in practice. Occupational risk management is a cyclical sequence of interrelated practices known as the “Deming – Shewhart cycle”.

Results and their discussion. The functioning of the new OSMS model facilitates the transition from the practice of responding to the facts of occupational injuries and occupational diseases that have already occurred to the mechanism of developing and implementing preventive measures to prevent accidents and preserve the health of the labour collective. As part of the implementation of reform tasks, the country has developed and adopted a number of regulatory and legal documents that contain recommendations for the introduction of a modern system for the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases based on occupational risk management techniques.

Conclusions. Despite the efforts of state structures and public organizations, the process of reforming the occupational safety management system at enterprises is slow or formal, not affecting the main content of the modern model of labour protection. Undisclosed or concealed facts of incidents reduce the volume of information for analyzing the real situation ten times and significantly reduce the effectiveness of work on occupational risk management.
