Employer / organization​

Document date. Approval: Program approval details​.

The objective is to master safe working practices in the presence of identified factors and sources of danger. Duration: 16 hours, including 6 hours of practical work (at least 25 percent of total time).

Trainee categories: Categories of employees to be trained​. Allocation to programs is checked against positions, duties and risks; this program does not replace any other mandatory program. Workplaces, risks and assessment materials: Workplaces, hazards and source data from the special assessment of working conditions (СОУТ) / risk assessment​. Applicable requirements, internal policies, instructions and training materials: Internal policies and training materials​. Trainers and evidence of their training: Trainers’ full names, positions and qualifications​. Practical assignments, technical equipment, visual aids and venue: Practical assignments, equipment and venue​. Practical sessions are mandatory to the extent specified in the curriculum; their actual delivery must be documented. Training is provided in person, with analysis of workplace situations and practical exercises.

Assessment is conducted orally using approved questions and practical tasks. Questions, tasks, rules and criteria: assess understanding of personal duties, recognition of hazards, selection of measures, a safe sequence of work, and actions in an incident. A satisfactory result requires correct performance of critical actions and understanding of prohibitions; an unsafe action in a practical task requires retraining. Questions are adapted to the program and the work actually performed. Additions reflecting actual conditions: Assessment questions/tasks and evaluation criteria​. The result is recorded as “satisfactory” or “unsatisfactory”. Assessing commission / organization: Details of the commission / organization assessing knowledge​. The result is documented in an assessment record and register information in accordance with the prescribed procedure. An unsatisfactory result requires reassessment within the prescribed period; authorization to work without mandatory training is not permitted. The program is updated when regulatory requirements, processes, equipment or duties change, and on other prescribed grounds. Scheduled training under programs A (а) and B (б) is conducted at least once every three years; unscheduled training is conducted on the prescribed grounds.

Sources of danger. Trainees examine their own operations: preparation, performance, cleaning, servicing and movement. They identify mechanical, electrical, chemical, biological, physical and ergonomic factors, fire hazards and organizational causes of errors. Only hazards relevant to the assigned work are considered. Risk assessment. For each situation, identify the possible event, persons who may be harmed, severity and likelihood using the adopted methodology. Distinguish measures already in place from those merely planned. Discuss why a low risk rating does not permit non-compliance with mandatory requirements. Safe preparation. Inspection of the workplace, passageways, lighting, tools, safeguards and emergency stop; checking authorization and the assignment. If a defect is found, do not use the item, report the defect and restrict access. Practice takes place on training equipment or equipment safely disconnected from its energy sources. Safe performance. Following the work process, preventing accidental start-up, safeguarding hazardous areas and moving materials safely. Removing guards, bypassing interlocks and carrying out unauthorized repairs are prohibited. Practice responses to the loss of normal operating conditions. Protective equipment. Selection of collective protection, inspection and use of the prescribed personal protective equipment (PPE; СИЗ), limitations and signs that equipment is unfit for use. Review of issue, storage and fault reporting. This section does not replace separate mandatory training in the use of PPE. Emergency actions. Safe shutdown, reporting, calling for assistance and evacuation; limits on independent action and prohibition on entry into a hazardous area. Practice local signals, routes and communication of information. Practical workshop. Each trainee prepares the workplace, identifies a specified hazard, demonstrates a safe technique and makes an emergency report. The trainer records errors and organizes repeated practice; dangerous actions are not actually reenacted.
