Industrial safety of an object involves ensuring such a state of protection of this object from various types of threats, which creates conditions for its normal functioning and compliance with the established modes. The article presents a variant of the algorithm for step-by-step analysis of the causes of accidents at the enterprise. This algorithm includes identification of direct and indirect factors that determine the direction and intensity of emergencies at the enterprise using a system of organizational and technical methods (risk sessions) aimed at timely identification, assessment and prevention of hazards. We consider the classical problem of hazard identification based on methods (risk sessions) in a matrix format with an estimated utility function, with subsequent decision-making based on the identification results. The author offers justifications, conclusions and recommendations regarding the development and launch of measures to improve the efficiency and reliability of industrial safety systems at the hazardous production facility of JSC "MES-soyakhaneftegaz". The principal distinctive feature of the research results is the scheme of manipulations in the assessment of cause-and-effect relationships that determine the intensity and direction of factors of direct and indirect impact on the occurrence of emergency situations at the enterprise, which allows us to justify the choice of a management solution to the corresponding challenge to the industrial safety system of a particular object in the sphere of its production activities. Factors of potential reliability and safety for the environment are also identified. Effective risk management is achieved on the basis of a clear understanding of the areas and zones of identified risks, the probability of their occurrence and the scale of consequences of risk events.
