ANALYSIS OF CAUSES AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF ACCIDENTS INVOLVING FLAMMABLE GASES AT HAZARDOUS PRODUCTION FACILITIES OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION IN 2014–2024

The necessity of searching and analyzing information about the causes and circumstances of accidents and incidents at hazardous production facilities in the Russian Federation related to the handling of flammable gases is demonstrated. Attention is focused on the fact that the accident checklists generated by the Federal environmental, technological and nuclear supervision service have significant potential for processing using artificial intelligence technologies. Based on the analysis of the annual reports and checklists of the Federal environmental, technological and nuclear supervision service, information is provided on the distribution of fires and explosions at protection facilities, including by type of ignition source, type of work performed and the area of violations of fire safety requirements. Recommendations are given on the organization of an accident and incident accounting system at hazardous production facilities.
