Organization of high-hazardous work at gas utility enterprises

The reliability of Ukraine's gas supply systems is decreasing due to the wear and tear of a significant part of gas pipelines and equipment, and destruction due to shelling of gas transportation and gas distribution networks and equipment on them. Normative documents determined the procedure for operating the gas supply system in standard and complex engineering and geological conditions, with full filling of the staff list of enterprises. However, the procedure for operation in the conditions of active hostilities conducted in the area of operation of the network is not described. Due to the increase in the volume of work and the simultaneous decrease in the number of employees, the specific workload on gas utility employees is sharply increasing. Workers are forced to solve work issues that were previously performed by related services. Currently, there are not enough regulatory documents that would regulate the maintenance and repair of gas networks in conditions of damage and destruction that occur in Ukraine. The paper proposes a number of measures to organize the safe performance of high-risk work at gas industry enterprises. It is necessary to review the requirements for the qualification level of work performers during military operations while ensuring enhanced control by managers of gas-hazardous work and experienced team members. To conduct extra-ordinary training of employees on the rules of safe conduct of gas-hazardous and emergency work in the conditions of military operations. Develop training programs for performing high-risk work for specialists with education in related fields.
