When we ride a bike, jump with a parachute or work in serious production, we always follow safety rules. And these, often simple, “laws” preserve our life and health.

IN ‎ Metinvest There are also rules for saving lives. In 2012, the “Cardinal Rules” for occupational health and industrial safety were introduced. There are ten of them in total. The first five are the same for all enterprises of the Group, and the rest– developed in accordance with the specifics of each individual production. And failure to comply can lead to dire consequences. That is why every employee of the Company knows the rules as “Our Father”.

– Cardinal – the most important, core safety rules, written, as they say, in blood. And they were developed taking into account statistical observations on the main factors of injury to people at work, such as the operation of self-propelled equipment, falling pins, falling from a height, and others,” says Valentin KOZLOVSKY, head of the department of industrial safety and labor protection (IPOSH) of the Polar Branch. – Those who do not comply with the Cardinal Rules are subject to disciplinary action up to and including dismissal.
Private and general
Cardinal occupational safety rules are an information product published in a convenient format: every employee of the company can put a useful digest in the pocket of their work clothes and always have it with them. The publication includes the most important excerpts from the norms, rules, regulations for safe work in a particular industry. Miners, metallurgists, concentrators, and workers in the construction and repair complex have their own rules, but there are also common points for all areas of production activity. For example, this: “It is prohibited to perform high-risk work without issuing a permit.”
Everyone who works in the company knows: if unacceptable risks or new risks that threaten life and health are identified in the workplace, he has the right to refuse to complete the work order.
“Refusal to work in case of danger is provided for in the Collective Agreement of MMC Norilsk Nickel,” says Valentin Kozlovsky. – The document states that in cases of non-compliance of working conditions at the workplace with industrial safety requirements, it is prohibited to begin the task or continue work. We remind you of this in the Cardinal Rules: “All employees of the company, if situations arise during work that threaten their life and health, are obliged to stop working.”
The person must then report the discrepancies to his immediate supervisor or, if necessary, to the unit manager. In the event of a justified refusal of an employee to perform his job duties, his salary is retained in full,” emphasized the head of the Department of Occupational Safety and Health.
How does all this work in practice? Each Norilsk Nickel enterprise has introduced checklists for assessing risks in the workplace, listing potential hazards. If at the beginning of a shift a person discovers a danger that threatens his life and health, he puts a mark in the required line, signs the control sheet and passes it to the foreman. The line manager immediately gives the task to eliminate the violations. If this cannot be done, the workplace is closed, access to people is limited and the person is given a different outfit.
The company's employees understand the situation and care about their health and the health of their colleagues. The head of the industrial safety department of the Polar Division cited the following statistics: in 2015, there were about 300 justified refusals to complete the task. Since the beginning of this year - 18.
“We strive to ensure that all workplaces in the company comply with industrial safety and labor protection standards,” comments Valentin Kozlovsky. – When we achieve this goal, accidents at work will be eliminated.
The company is now experiencing a steady trend towards reducing injuries. In 2014, 19 accidents occurred at the Polar Division, last year there were 17, and since the beginning of 2016 - 8.
“I say with regret that it was not possible to prevent fatal incidents: three such cases occurred in 2014 and 2015, two in 2016,” Valentin Kozlovsky cited statistics.
You can't fool the system
Cardinal labor safety rules prohibit being in the workplace under the influence of alcohol, drugs or other toxicological intoxication, as well as consuming alcoholic beverages or drugs at work.
– This year, ten people were fired for violating the Cardinal Safety Rules and 18 people were fired for appearing at work while intoxicated. We fight violations of labor discipline mercilessly, and we use modern analyzers,” says the head of the Department of Occupational Safety and Health of the Polar Branch and gives an example: “Individual enterprises: the Oktyabrsky, Komsomolsky mines and the Skalistaya mine are equipped with an access control system. This is a full-height turnstile with a breathalyzer installed in front of it. If there is no ethanol in the exhaled air vapor, the person goes to his workplace. Otherwise, the entrance turnstile is blocked. Naturally, administrative measures will be taken against the violator.
By the end of the year, it is planned to organize access control at the Mayak mine. In the future, all divisions of the Polar Branch will be equipped with such systems.
When asked if there are any differences between the Cardinal Rules for managers and ordinary workers, Valentin Kozlovsky replied:
– The main point of the Cardinal Rules for managers is the implementation of instructions from both industrial safety department specialists and employees of functional structures: production department, mining department, departments of the chief mechanic and chief power engineer of the Polar Branch, carrying out control and preventive activities in the field of industrial safety and labor protection .
To prevent injuries at work and preserve the lives and health of workers, the company implements corporate standards in various areas of industrial safety. There are currently seven standards in force, including second-party auditing, provision of personal protective equipment, and behavioral safety audits.
danger. New ones are being introduced: “Isolation of energy sources”, “Working at height”, “Interaction between vehicles and pedestrians”, “Hazard identification, risk assessment and risk management”.
Developing the topic, we asked the head of the industrial safety department of the Polar Division to comment on the opinion, including experts in the field of labor protection, that for some positions the company adheres to more stringent parameters than prescribed by federal legislation?
“This is really so, and this is the company’s principled position,” said Valentin Kozlovsky. – “Norilsk Nickel” strives by all means to preserve the lives and health of people. Thus, the company went beyond the all-Russian standards for working at height, adopting a very serious internal standard in this area.
At a recent meeting between the director of the Polar Branch, Alexander Ryumin, and the staff of the Mayak mine, there was talk about the certification of conveyor transport. The current federal standards are not strict enough, but in our corporate standards we deliberately strive to tighten safety standards and regulations. Although these are costly measures: fencing conveyor lines, blocking them with drives, belt catchers, a belt misalignment sensor, and so on, it is necessary for people. And the company is making significant new expenses in the field of industrial safety,” concluded Valentin Kozlovsky.

NUMBERS
In 2015, the Polar Division carried out 299 justified refusals to carry out work; since the beginning of 2016, 18 such cases have been recorded.
This year, OHS specialists suspended work 175 times and prohibited it 433 times due to violations of labor protection requirements. 23 suspensions were made due to violations of the Cardinal Safety Rules.
In total, since the introduction of the Cardinal Rules in Norilsk, 13 employees have been laid off, including 7 at the Polar Branch.

Metalloinvest regularly updates and modernizes production equipment and maintains optimal workplace conditions that comply with legal standards. It is important to understand that these efforts of the company are only part of the overall system of safe work, because the world statistics of accidents at work are inexorable: their main reason is the incorrect actions and work methods used by the employees themselves, who ignore the current instructions or rules of labor and industrial safety security.

Each employee must understand that he follows the rules formulated in the Cardinal Requirements for Occupational Health and Industrial Safety not for the manager or for the labor protection engineers, but for himself personally. And in these matters there are no trifles that can be neglected; even a small deviation from the rules can cause a tragedy. Remember: maintaining your own health and life is everyone’s personal responsibility!
