Introduction. The paper discusses the methods for occupational risks assessment of workers within the framework of the labor protection management system. To date, there is no legally approved methodology for occupational risks assessment. Numerous well-known methods of ORS are advisory in nature. Their main weak point is the influence of the human factor and, consequently, the relative subjectivity of the final conclusions.

Problem Statement. The main objective of this work is to study the possibility of occupational risks assessment of workers by the "Bow tie" method in the occupational safety management system.

Theoretical Part. The method of risk assessment "Bow tie" was adopted as a basis. The main components of this method are considered. Approbation has been carried out. It is proposed to introduce an additional barrier into the "Bowtie" risk assessment method, which is called "Non-destructive control".

Conclusions. As a result, a technique for occupational risks assessment was proposed, taking into account the results of non-destructive testing. The positive aspects of the proposed approach are also identified.

Introduction. Construction is one of the most injury-causing industries. It is connected with a large amount of operating production factors, that are constant or present potentially, which aggravate the high level of professional risks. The need to develop a methodology on the organization and performance of work in the field of labor protection in case of installation and construction works on building sites is proved in the article and by practical organizational activities of the construction entities.

Problem Statement. The objective of this study is to develop a methodology for assessing occupational risks for construction companies.

Theoretical Part. The paper analyzes dangerous and harmful production factors that affect workers of construction organizations. The emphasis is placed on practical provision of labor protection in construction. At the same time, special attention is paid to the identification of occupational risks, their assessment and management. It is proposed to take into account statistical data on injuries in construction, the content of the construction organization project, work production projects and technological maps for the work carried out in the general assessment of occupational risk in the workplace.

Conclusions. The authors propose an effective methodology for assessing occupational risks, taking into account the specifics of construction production.

Introduction. The article considers the industrial injuries of personnel working in the Rosenergoatom (energy division of the Rosatom State Corporation) and employees of contracting organizations working on the NPP’s territory using the statistical method in the period from 2013 to 2020. Based on the data obtained, the recommendations are proposed to reduce the level of industrial injuries for the personnel of contracting organizations.

Problem Statement. The purpose of this study is to research the industrial injuries and to develop recommendations for reducing injuries with personnel who work on the NPP’s territory.

Theoretical Part. Annual reports of Rosenergoatom are used as basic information.

Conclusions. The results of the analysis indicate a significant level of industrial injuries among the employees of contracting organizations. This fact requires the implementation of a set of measures aimed at improving the safety level on the NPP’s territory to prevent occupational injuries.

Introduction. The article discusses the issues of labor protection at mining enterprises. Timely analysis and elaboration of measures to prevent them can reduce the risks of major accidents with a large number of victims.

Problem Statement. It is necessary to choose the most effective measures to improve the level of industrial safety at mining enterprises based on a ready-made conceptual model of hazardous phenomena and accidents.

Theoretical Part. To solve this problem, the article considers a ready-made conceptual model of hazardous phenomena and accidents that may occur in mines as a result of non-compliance with the requirements of occupational safety and industrial safety of enterprises proposed by A. I. Babenko. The analysis of accidents, risk factors, potential dangerous and harmful production factors at the mining enterprise is carried out. Based on the analysis, the most effective measures to improve the level of industrial safety at mining enterprises are proposed.

Conclusions. The article considers the issues regulating labor protection at mining enterprises, as well as it identifies industrial risks and options for their elimination through the organization of measures to ensure industrial safety. Based on the results obtained, the most effective means to reduce the risks of hazardous production situations is the use of multifunctional systems to ensure occupational safety and industrial safety of mining enterprises.

Introduction. The article considers the problems of occupational morbidity and occupational injuries in the food  industry, including factors and causes that form working conditions that contribute to the occurrence of morbidity and  accidents.  

Problem Statement. The aim of the study is to analyze occupational morbidity and occupational injuries and their  causes, as well as to propose corrective or preventive measures aimed at eliminating the causes of accidents, injuries,  and the development of occupational diseases.  

Theoretical Part. As initial information, the statistical reporting data of the Federal State Statistics Service and the  materials of domestic and foreign literary sources are given.

Conclusions. The results of the work indicate the presence of occupational morbidity and occupational injuries among  food workers and the need to introduce and implement a number of measures aimed at improving working conditions  and improving safety.

Introduction. The article presents an analysis of accidents of lifting cranes, the causes of which are the destruction of load-bearing structural connections during the designated service life, caused by structural and technological deficiencies, with operational loads not exceeding the passport specifications.

Problem Statement. The objective of the study is to analyze the causes of accidents of different types of lifting cranes and the features that connect these accidents.

Theoretical Part. A review of statistical data on accidents on lifting cranes has shown that the destruction of load bearing structures occurs not only due to fatigue strength during long-term operation, but also due to insufficient bearing capacity of the hinge joints, violations of technological processes of structural elements welding in conditions not exceeding the passport specifications during the service life.

Conclusions. It is established that the destruction occurs in the design elements of metal structures associated with the crane mounting at a relatively high level of operating stresses and insignificant loading cycles, which indicates errors in the design and violations of welding processes during their manufacture.

Introduction. The article deals with the problems of deterioration of water quality in rivers in the Rostov region, their shallowing and drying out. The degradation of reservoirs is associated with various aspects of economic and industrial anthropogenic activities. The degree of influence depends on the intensity of the negative impact, and can be reduced if environmental measures are implemented.

Problem Statement. The objective of this study is to monitor the water quality of the Glubokaya River in the Rostov region on different sections of the river and to assess the degree of anthropogenic impact.

Theoretical Part. Water quality studies were carried out in three channels of the Glubokaya River on the territory of the cities of Millerovo and Kamensk-Shakhtinsk, as well as near them. The content of ammonia, phosphorus was determined by spectrophotometric analysis methods and petroleum products by IR photometric analysis method. The results of the study of water quality in the reservoir are compared with the normative values for three years with a certain periodicity.

Conclusions. The results of the studies on changes in the chemical composition of water at various sites in dynamics, taking into account the degree of anthropogenic load, are analyzed.
