EVOLUTION OF CRITERIA AND MECHANISMS OF ESTIMATION OF THE EFFICIENCY OF OCCUPATIONAL SAFETY AND HEALTH MANAGEMENT SYSTEM IN OIL INDUSTRY

摘要

In the post-Soviet period of Russia’s development, OSH management has been modernized. This put the scientific community and management practitioners in the task of searching for updated tools and methods for assessing the effectiveness of OSH management systems. Continuous improvement is one of the components of the employer’s responsibility to create and maintain such systems, their necessary element and priority.The purpose of this paper is to compare the criteria (indicators) for assessing the effectiveness of OSH management systems and mechanisms to improve their effectiveness in Soviet (?traditional?) and modern management systems in the oil industry.On the basis of the Unified Occupational Safety Management System in the oil industry of the USSR, the principles, methods of analysis and selected indicators for assessing the effectiveness of the OSH management system in the industry were identified and analyzed. Their advantages and disadvantages were critically interpreted.Based on the analysis of a set of local regulations of the leading oil companies of the country (PJSC LUKOIL, PJSC Rosneft, oil and gas enterprises of Udmurtia), modern approaches to the development and application of indicators for assessing the effectiveness of OSH management systems have been established. With the use of comparative, illustrative, analytical, formal methods, the use of experience of “traditional” OSH management systems in the industry has been identified and critically interpreted. The reasons and the degree of its relevance in modern conditions are estimated. The problems of adaptation of foreign experience in assessing the effectiveness of the OSH operation in oil companies of Russia are studied.The main problems are identified and prospects for the formation of an updated system of criteria and mechanisms for assessing the effectiveness of OSH management systems in the Russian oil industry are outlined.
