Synopsis: Mikhailovsky GOK, a division of Metalloinvest, is taking significant strides to enhance gas safety at its facility. By the end of the year, the company will integrate 185 individual monitoring devices designed to assess the levels of oxygen, carbon monoxide, methane, and sulfur oxide in the air. These devices will automatically measure gas concentrations throughout the work shift, supplementing the existing stationary gas analyzers. This initiative aims to create a comprehensive system that identifies potential gas hazardous areas, reinforcing the company's commitment to safeguarding its workforce.Article: In a steadfast pursuit of enhancing workplace safety, Mikhailovsky GOK, named after A.V. Varichev and a vital component of Metalloinvest, is embarking on a transformative initiative to bolster gas safety within its operations. By the culmination of the current year, the company will procure and deploy 185 individual monitoring devices designed to meticulously assess the levels of crucial gases in the air. These gases encompass oxygen, carbon monoxide, methane, and sulfur oxide. Notably, these measurements will be conducted automatically throughout the entire duration of a work shift.This progressive undertaking, in conjunction with the stationary gas analyzers that are already in operation, is poised to establish a harmonized and unified system that adeptly identifies and maps potential gas hazardous zones across the enterprise. The primary objective of this initiative is to proactively protect the health and well-being of the employees who contribute to the company's operational prowess.Maxim Basenko, Director for Health, Safety and Environment at Mikhailovsky GOK, emphasized, "Safeguarding the life and health of our dedicated employees remains our paramount concern. Presently, we are spearheading the Gas Safety project within our plant. This initiative encompasses not only the acquisition of additional equipment but also a comprehensive array of informative and training endeavors aimed at our employees and contractors. This encompasses training sessions on the proper utilization of personal protective equipment and portable gas analyzers. By amalgamating these efforts, we are poised to deliver steadfast and high-quality worker protection within this realm."The first batch of 110 gas analyzers has already been introduced at the pelletizing plant of MGOK. These devices have been strategically allocated to employees operating in the firing building, encompassing roles such as sinter operators, conveyor operators, and gas blowers. Additionally, 50 devices have been allocated to the spare parts production department, catering to the needs of gas thermal furnaces in the molding and foundry shop, heating chamber furnaces in the mechanical assembly shop, and gas cutting units in the metal structure shop.Beyond the confines of the operational sector, these gas analyzers will also be utilized by a diverse range of personnel, including crane operators, equipment repair technicians on duty, and instrumentation and automation locksmiths. As part of this all-encompassing initiative, a further 25 gas analyzers are slated to be deployed to the power center and the crushing and screening plant of the facility by the close of the year.The insights garnered from the gas analyzers, coupled with invaluable feedback from employees regarding equipment utilization, serve as a cornerstone for informed decision-making by the company's adept specialists. This amalgamation of data plays a pivotal role in charting out necessary actions to mitigate potential hazards, implement preventative measures, upgrade equipment, and refine the existing safety system.Conclusion: Mikhailovsky GOK's endeavor to enhance gas safety is not only a testimony to its commitment to its workforce but also a progressive stride towards creating a safer and more secure work environment. The integration of cutting-edge monitoring devices augments the company's ongoing initiatives to foster a culture of safety and well-being. By forging a comprehensive and unified system, Mikhailovsky GOK is poised to set new benchmarks for occupational safety within the industry.
