| Popis: | Relevance. Occupational Safety and Health Management System (OSHMS) should be improved and regularly adjusted based on continuous analysis of hazards and current risks.Intention. Development of approaches to determining the permissible level of risks to the personnel of the Federal Fire Service (FPS) of the EMERCOM of Russia when performing occupational duties.Methodology. Cases of injuries were analyzed in the staff of the FPS when performing occupational duties. Relative frequencies of injuries were calculated in the personnel of the FPS as follows: light damage (the number of days of temporary disability ≤ 3), moderate damage (the number of days of temporary disability from 4 to 30) and severe damage (the number of days of temporary disability more than 30, the onset of disability or death). Associations between injuries in the personnel of the FPS and the complexity of fires were assessed, including amount of the fire extinguishers used.Results and Discussion. It is proposed to allocate two levels of acceptable risk of injury for the personnel of the FPS when performing official duties: the maximum risk and acceptable risk. Estimates of acceptable and maximum risks of injury to personnel of the FPS were obtained using the relative index of the frequency of injuries to personnel: acceptable risk estimates R acceptable = (5 ± 1) • 10–5 and maximum risk estimates Rmaximum = (4,4 ± 0,3) • 10–4. It is proposed to use the values of acceptable risks of personal injury adjusted for the complexity of fires extinguished to assess the effectiveness of the OSHMS in fire protection units. Options for decision-making in the framework of the Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems, depending on the actual level of injury to personnel in the performance of official duties, are considered.Conclusion. The proposed model for assessing the effectiveness of the OSHMS is based on the planning of OSHMS activities depending on the degree of implementation of the OSHMS procedures and the risk of injury to the personnel of the FPS of EMERCOM of Russia in the performance of official activities. |
