Plan of measures to ensure industrial safety: a sample. Control of industrial safety

If an enterprise uses a potentially hazardous production facility in its activities, it is its responsibility to conduct activities that allow safe operation.

Taking into account all the seriousness of the responsibility, these issues are dealt with not only by individual departments of the organization, but by relevant bodies at the state level.

Dangerous production facility: what is it?

Federal law 116 in Article 2 gives an idea of it as an enterprise, its part or other production facility on which any of the listed signs of danger are present. They are presented in the form of two interrelated applications that clarify the quantitative and qualitative criteria of the objects belonging to this category.

What can be a source of danger in production?

In order to characterize them, one must turn to the provisions that contain the law on industrial safety. Here in the appendices there are potential sources of danger at work, that is, objects with the following characteristics:

1. Have anything to do with various dangerous substances. The latter can be produced, processed, stored, used, transported or destroyed. The law defines their types: combustible, toxic, explosive, etc.
2. There is equipment of any kind, which is used at a pressure of more than 0.07 MPa.
3. If the production uses different types of loaders in the form of escalators, cable cars or cable cars.
4. In the production, transportation, as well as the use of melts of non-ferrous and ferrous metals with the use of appropriate equipment.
5. If mining work is carried out using explosive techniques. This includes the enrichment of minerals.
6. The storage or processing of such types of plant raw materials that are prone to spontaneous combustion, the formation of explosive properties.

Legislative regulation

The main legal document regulating relations in the field of industrial safety is Federal Law 116. It contains the basic provisions concerning the activities of all enterprises and organizations regardless of their forms of ownership. The Law on Industrial Safety, along with other rules and regulations, regulates the activities of both the enterprises associated with hazardous objects and the state bodies that control them. Here the main requirements and restrictions, forms and types of activities implemented in this area are prescribed.

There are laws in the law that regulate the conduct of industrial safety, which is carried out in the form of expertise. Objects, subjects that can conduct it, the order of the conduct and the form of the results in the form of a conclusion are given.

In addition to the law, regulation in this area also implements relevant norms and rules of industrial safety. They characterize different aspects of the activity and cover:

• Rules for registration and provision of a declaration;
• Norms governing the conduct of the examination;
• Rules for conducting various forms of control;
• The norms of justifying the safety of such types of production facilities, and so on.

Dangerous production facility: classification

The law also forms a system of legal, economic and social principles that allow to properly organize the provision of industrial safety during the operation of various types of technical facilities that can be represented as a hazardous production facility. Their classification is given in the law and includes four groups that are formed on the basis of a criterion such as the degree of potential danger:

• The first contains objects that represent an extremely high danger;
• The second is high;
• Third class - objects characterized by the presence of medium hazard factors;
• Fourth, respectively, low.

Determination of which class to relate to a particular enterprise is handled by the relevant state bodies in the process of its registration.

Security Action Plan: What it is

The entire set of precautionary measures should be presented as a separate document. As a rule, it is a plan of measures to ensure industrial safety. A sample of it should be formed proceeding from the sphere of activity of the enterprise and the types of objects in operation.

It is a plan of action for a certain period. It is put into effect by the order of the director of the enterprise, in which:

• The plan for the reporting year is approved;
• Appointed responsible executors for each facility;
• The terms of the necessary measures are stipulated;
• A controlling entity is appointed, as a rule, it is the chief engineer of the enterprise.

Plan design

In what form should be formed a plan of measures to ensure industrial safety? A sample of it may be an annex to the corresponding order of the head of the enterprise, drawn up in the form of a table. It should have several sections that cover all types and forms of activity of the personnel of the enterprise aimed at ensuring security.

In general, the structure of the table includes such indicators:

• The name of the events;
• Names of potentially dangerous objects, indicating what they are;
• The regularity of service is determined: specific dates or periodicity;
• Responsible executors: their positions and surnames are indicated.

Substantial aspect of the plan

There are also a number of key areas that are designed to implement the enterprise's plan of measures to ensure industrial safety. A sample of it includes two semantic blocks. The first of them characterizes the equipment itself and the forms of its maintenance. This is diagnostics, inspection, risk insurance, equipment safety devices, etc. The second unit has to do with the personnel of the enterprise. Here is information on his attestation, training and professional development, classes and consultations.

What should sections include?

The plan of measures to ensure industrial safety (the sample, shown below) has a somewhat generalized view and includes the main forms of the enterprise's activities in this area.

1. Carrying out of diagnostics (TD - technical diagnostics, PTO - vocational maintenance) of facilities in operation and technical devices. Here there is a list of all forms of such equipment with a description of its current status. If the structure or device has developed its resource, then the possibility and necessity of its extension is indicated with the involvement of the relevant bodies.
2. Carry out technical inspection of equipment that works under pressure. An external and internal check of the devices is carried out, which aims to determine its condition, possible safe use, continuation of the service in terms and periods determined by the applicable regulations. Sometimes this section includes a number of other objects that require expert examination, but have not yet developed the established resource.
3. Replacement of old equipment for a new one. Equipping technical devices with additional safety devices.
4. Carrying out the procedure for registration of technical devices that are just put into operation. It requires not only the introduction of objects that are dangerous in the state register, but also other equipment used.

In addition to the items listed in the sample, there may be others. For example, the inspection of facilities relating to hazardous industrial facilities. Inspection of buildings, which for some reason also have to do with them.

Planning activities to work with personnel serving hazardous facilities

The second semantic part of the plan can be considered those items that relate to the forms of work with the personnel of the enterprise engaged in the maintenance of dangerous categories of technical devices.

1. Improvement of professional skill of workers of various divisions of the enterprise in sphere of industrial safety.
2. Conducting attestation of personnel knowledge testing in this field. Here, as a rule, the appropriate tests are applied: industrial safety.
3. Various activities related to the training of workers engaged in the maintenance of facilities.
4. Carrying out of measures including preventive checks of performance of all requirements concerning maintenance of industrial safety.

Obviously, drawing up a plan is a creative process, which to some extent is limited by legal norms. That is why the inclusion of certain sections and points is determined individually based on the objects and technical devices that are used in the enterprise, as well as on the basis of the need for their servicing by the enterprise staff.

How is safety in this area regulated?

Particular attention is paid in the plan to such factor as industrial safety of work, which is a series of measures aimed at preventing consequences in the event of accidents. If the latter took place, then minimize its negative results and consequences.

Sometimes industrial safety is identified with occupational safety. Taking into account the peculiarities of dangerous industrial means, the first of them acquires a special content. After all, it is known that non-compliance with safety standards carries the risk of accidents and causing considerable material damage. For this reason, special attention is paid to the problems of compliance with industrial safety and, as a rule, the enterprise management in the activity plan provides for several sections directly related to the knowledge and skills of personnel serving hazardous equipment. For the purpose of attestation of these workers, the heads of the respective units conduct tests. Industrial safety in this case may include training activities.

Who can control dangerous objects?

This type of functions is also regulated by the rule of law and assigned to the relevant state body.
At the state level, industrial safety control is performed by the federal service dealing with environmental, technological and nuclear supervision Rostekhnadzor. It is this body that regulates the sphere of industrial safety, as well as a number of functions such as:

• Permissive;
• Supervisory;
• Controlling.

Also, according to the law, the enterprise itself must carry out control in this sphere on the basis of requirements established by the Government of the Russian Federation.
