2022: Launch of a digital platform for monitoring compliance with safety standards at work

Metalloinvest and JSA Group have developed and launched a digital platform for monitoring compliance with safety standards at work. JSA Group announced this on June 1, 2022. The video analytics system based on the neural network monitors the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) by employees and the intersection of hazardous areas around static facilities, timely warns of emergent emergency situations. In the future, the platform will "learn" to classify the types of protective equipment, track the observance of the distance from moving cars and equipment, and determine those conducted at altitude.

The introduction of the best digital solutions is an important part of our work to transition to a qualitatively new level of industrial safety. We strive not only to exclude violations of existing standards, but also to increase the efficiency of the functioning of the industrial safety system as a whole, simplify monitoring regulations, and change the approach of employees of enterprises to these issues to proactive, "said Andrey Cherepov, Deputy General Director for Industrial Safety, Labor Protection and the Environment of Metalloinvest.

At Mikhailovsky GOK named after A.V. Varichev, Lebedinsky GOK and Oskol Electrometallurgical Plant named after A.A. Ugarov as of June 2022, more than 60 cameras are connected to the system. By the end of the year, it is planned to increase their number to almost 200.

Cameras monitor compliance and safe execution of work in real time. Photo and video reports are sent to the dispatch center, where additional verification takes place. If the violation is confirmed, we inform the relevant services of the enterprise, - explained Dmitry Lapin, head of the Data Science JSA Group.

The platform allows you to reduce the number of violations by 3-4 times in a short time. Training, informing and other preventive measures help to further consolidate and support the achieved result, "said Yulia Shutkina, Director of Digital Transformation at Metalloinvest. - We plan to continue scaling the system, connect new areas where there is a risk to the health of employees.

In May 2022, optimization of the platform solution continues. In addition to refining its basic, algorithms performance and ergonomics software , new features are being tested.
