In order to form primary skills of applying a risk-oriented approach to organizing production activities, a training program was developed and implemented, which provided solutions to the following tasks: 1 - conducting a detailed analysis of adverse events that took place at mining companies in Russia and at the Kovdorsky GOK JSC in terms of the realized threats; 2 - building a logical model regarding the occurrence of preconditions for an adverse event and its occurrence; 3 - elaborating the basic methodological principles of the risk-oriented thinking: “I am aware, I recognize, I prevent”. The main objective of the conducted training was to develop primary skills of the line managers to timely recognize the preconditions for the emergence and development of hazardous industrial situations. In the future, this will allow to forecast the occurrence probability of hazardous industrial situations at the production process planning stage, assess the risk level of adverse events, and provide for the necessary resources to reduce the occurrence probability of such events.
