Personal risk index as a promising management tool for human factor in labor protection

The article presents a pioneering integrated approach to assessing compliance with environmental, fire, industrial safety, and labor protection requirements in open-pit mining operations. The study was conducted at two existing open-pit mining facilities located in the Trans-Baikal Territory of the Russian Federation, analyzing the causes of injuries, statistical data, and comparing the mining technologies used. The key findings emphasize that the efficiency of deposit development and the safety of mining operations are heavily dependent on the quality of the technical design. The article also discusses software systems used for the design of mining facilities, which enable monitoring of the safety and labor protection aspects during quarry operation. The results of the comparative analysis are expected to be of interest to both quarry design specialists and the engineering and technical personnel of existing open-pit mining facilities. This integrated approach represents a significant advancement in the field, providing a comprehensive framework for enhancing safety and operational efficiency in the mining industry.

“…HIRADC or commonly called Hazard Identification Risk Assessment and Determine Control is the process of identifying hazards, measuring and evaluating the risks arises from a hazard that can occur in routine or non-routine activities in company, for further risk assessment of the hazard [13][14][15]. Result of the risk assessment is useful for making a hazard control program so that company can minimize the level of risk that may occur so that they can prevent work accidents.…”

IMC mining company produces gold and silver. In mining operations that are carried out every day in the workplace, there must be dangers and risks. All these hazards are more related to the transport systems and transport used in the mining process. International mining company (IMC) underground mines definitely have operations division jobs with a high level of risk against work accidents, for example, maintenance of transport installations and the systems. Therefore, it is important to identify hazards, risk assessments, and determine the type of risk control in the section where work accidents are found. Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Determining Control is a prevention program against fatal incidents. Risk Management at IMC is based on the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment Determining Control (HIRADC) methodology which focuses on managing mining safety risks. This article aims to find out what the potential hazards and risks are contained in the work of the engineering and transport of underground mining division as well as provide preventive measures to reduce these risks.

“…The solution to the problem of normalizing the thermal regime during the joint operation of double-track and single-track distillation tunnels should be sought by selecting the required amount of air supplied to the double-track tunnel through a ventilation shaft located near the junction of the double-track and single-track tunnels. thermal physics, as well as computer modeling methods [1,3,19]. The research methods and the obtained initial data are based on theoretical and full-scale experimental studies at existing metro facilities [1,20].…”

Enhanced methodology for thermal management area assessment of metro lines

Zhikharev

2024

The article analyzes the operation of metro lines with doubletrack and single-track tunnels in the Russian Federation. Simultaneous activation of traffic on single-track and double-track tunnels affects the management of thermal and humidity parameters of the air environment on metro lines. Currently, there is limited experience in using shared lines. The study conducted an analysis of the features in the formation of thermal and ventilation regimes in double-track and single-track subway tunnels. It also examined the temperature regime of the station when mixing air flows from a double-track tunnel between stations and the flow from one of the stations. An algorithm has been defined for controlling the thermal and humidity parameters of the environment in underground structures. Measures are proposed to minimize the consequences of combining air flows and normalize microclimate parameters. The analysis of air mass movement revealed that the air temperature at the station located beyond the junction point of the double-track tunnel section and single-track tunnels is influenced by circulation flows in single-track tunnels, as well as the flow rate and temperature of the air coming from the double-track tunnel.
