Creating healthy and safe working conditions is the main task of the employer when performing high-risk work. Practice shows that the cause of accidents during the repair and maintenance of equipment are uncoordinated and erroneous actions of staff, resulting in incorrect supply of hazardous energy to the installation where people work. In order to prevent injuries at metallurgical enterprises there is a need to revise and modernize the existing approach to control the supply of hazardous energy during repairs, improve the current labeling system of access to repairs of technological equipment based on the experience of advanced world technologies. Audit). The BMP system is used to perform maintenance and repair of equipment, as well as any other cases where personnel need to enter the danger zone, and includes not only the actual process of blocking and marking, but also all other activities: documentation, organization of storage and issuance of BMP devices, training and testing of personnel knowledge According to the analysis, the current tag system at the metallurgical enterprises of Ukraine is inferior in efficiency to the BMP system, which allows you to almost completely eliminate the risks associated with the human factor in the repair and maintenance of equipment. The foreign experience of using hazardous energy blocking and labeling systems and the existing legal framework on this issue in Ukraine are analyzed. According to the results of research, the basic principles of using the BMP system at the enterprises of the metallurgical industry are established. The sequence of BMP procedure implementation is offered. The information on the basis of which the BMP map is formed is considered in detail. An important stage in the formation of this map is the assessment of industrial risks of exposure to hazardous energies in the process of repair and maintenance of equipment. The direction of further research on the implementation of the BMP system and the legalization of the BMP standard at the state level is substantiated.

Objective: to develop and theoretically substantiate such an approach, which should ensure the creation of information and calculation-analytical basis for planning and implementation of effective preventive measures aimed at minimizing occupational risks in the workplace. Various approaches to the calculation of occupational risk are analyzed, primarily those based on the results of the assessment of working conditions in the workplace on the indicators of production factors (certification of jobs). Among the general shortcomings of the methods that use the results of job certification, the main ones should be noted: the probability of violation of the measurement method, insufficient objectivity in the assessment of production factors, the long period between measurements, high cost. It is noted that the main tasks that need to be addressed are: the formation of information databases for calculations, development of assessment methods and the involvement of qualified experts. A method of occupational risk assessment is proposed, the peculiarity of which is taking into account the results of measurements of the levels of production factors and expert assessments. As a result of calculations, the calculated value of occupational risk for a particular profession allows us to draw a conclusion about the extent to which working conditions meet current regulatory requirements. Conclusions: the proposed approach provides incentives for employers to ensure safe and harmless working conditions, as well as active involvement of employees in solving problems of labor protection. As promising areas for improving the assessment of occupational risks noted: the introduction of a flexible mechanism for systematic survey of working conditions in the workplace, justification of levels of gradation of occupational risk, the introduction of modern information systems for accounting and analysis of production factors in dynamics.
