A Systemic Approach to Industrial Safety Management: Development and Implementation

The information on legislative documents of the Russian Federation regulating companies’ activities in the sphere of industrial safety has been provided. The relevance and advisability of using a systemic-structured process approach at the stage of the development and implementation of the industrial safety management system, considering the provisions of GOST R ISO 45001—2020 (safety and occupational protection management), have been substantiated. A methodological substantiation of the use of the process approach to the development of an industrial safety management system based on the systemic approach using the well-known cycle of Deming (Plan, Do, Check, and Act) has been provided; basic problems of its applicability have been considered. A matrix of processes and subprocesses in accordance with the sections of the Order of Rostechnadzor № 103 considering GOST R ISO 45001—2020 and process typology according to ISO/TC 176/SC 2/N 544R3 has been elaborated; processes of company management, measurement, analysis and improvement, key processes, and resource management processes have been considered; process ranking by level has been completed. A model of industrial safety management system has been developed based on the process approach, structural analysis technology, and Structured Analysis and Design Technique (SADT), as well as the functional modeling methodology IDEF0 (Integration Definition for Function Modeling). The main context diagram of the industrial safety management system in the IDEF0 notation has been developed. The decomposition of processes and subprocesses of the second and third levels is presented, and all their functional connections are described. The provided methodology of process modeling enables a positive effect in the minimization of expenses and the development period of a systemic model of the industrial safety management system. It has been demonstrated that the process approach used for the design of a systemic model of the industrial safety management system considering the provisions of GOST R ISO 45001—2020 helps structure the process composition, precisely determine input and output process parameters, process participants, resources, ensure control and adjustment of processes, increase the safety level, improve working conditions, and ensure compliance with legislative requirements.
