COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF SAFETY CULTURE MODELS IN ORGANIZATIONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF ISO 45001:2018
type: item
description: Purpose. The purpose of the study is to conduct a comparative analysis of the main models of safety culture to determine the possibilities of their practical application in order to assess the effectiveness of occupational health and safety management systems in accordance with the requirements of ISO 45001:2018. Methods. To achieve this goal, the following methods were used: identification of key safety culture indicators that correspond to the structure of ISO 45001:2018; expert assessment of the compliance of models with the specified requirements; generalization of theoretical approaches and development of recommendations for improving existing models for assessing safety culture in enterprises. Results. The study found that the Bradley curve model most comprehensively covers the indicators relevant to ISO 45001:2018. Other models have their own specific advantages (the Rison model emphasizes systemic barriers, the Hudson and Westrum models emphasize evolutionary maturity and information flow, the Shane model emphasizes deep cultural layers, the Cooper model emphasizes dynamic interaction between components, the Geller model emphasizes socio-psychological aspects of behavior, and the Bradley curve model places special emphasis on changing employee behavior and responsibility for safety), and need to be adapted to take into account the dynamics of change, cultural context, and internal relationships in occupational safety management systems. It has been found that each model has its limitations, including problems with conceptual clarity, measurement complexity, potential oversimplification, and insufficient consideration of dynamics and cultural context. The feasibility of integrating the approaches of different models, taking into account the psychological, behavioral, organizational, and situational factors of safety culture, has been substantiated. Novelty. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the fact that, for the first time, the comparative complianc…

FORECASTING EMERGENCY SITUATIONS AND EVENTS DURING MARTIAL LAW
type: item
description: Purpose. The processing of statistical data and forecasting the risks of military emergencies and their consequences (using the Poltava region as an example) to increase the efficiency of civil protection forces' preparation. Methodology. The study uses the mathematical apparatus of queuing systems, specifically the simplest Poisson process, to determine the probabilities of air raids, explosions, and human losses. The general risk assessment method - Event Tree Analysis (ETA) - based on inductive reasoning, was also applied to quantify possible scenarios. Results. Based on the analysis of statistics in the Poltava region for the period from September 2024 to July 2025, the intensity of key events was determined: air raids (3.49 per day), explosions (1.04), casualties (1.39), and fatalities (0.26). The probabilities of these events occurring within a single day were calculated: the probability of at least one air raid is 97%, an explosion - 65%, casualties - 75%, and fatalities - 23%. A graphical model (event tree) was constructed to identify emergency development scenarios from the initiating event (alarm) to the final consequences. Novelty. The novelty lies in applying mathematical methods of queuing theory to specific events of martial law (missile and drone strikes) to transition from simple danger notification to full-scale forecasting of emergency probabilities. For the first time, using a specific rear region as an example, the probabilistic characteristics of military risks have been quantitatively assessed. Practical Significance. The obtained predictive models allow authorities and risk management entities to make timely decisions regarding the preparation of civil protection forces, transferring educational institutions to online learning or remote work, and preparing medical facilities to receive casualties. The methodology can be scaled to other regions of Ukraine to create evidence-based response plans for wartime threats.

INDUSTRIAL HAZARDS DURING THE MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT
type: item
description: Purpose. Purpose. The purpose of this work is to substantiate a list of possible hazards for workers during the repair and maintenance of electrical installations and to justify measures to prevent them. Research methods. The methodology for analyzing hazards during the repair and maintenance of electrical installations is based on well-known risk analysis methods that are widely used in global practice when assessing hazards. The analysis of hazard factors involves studying the adverse effects of hazards on objects of influence and justifying management decisions to reduce the level of risk. Results. The study identified the main hazards associated with the repair and maintenance of electrical equipment, in particular those leading to high levels of electrical injuries (over 55% of all fatalities in the industry). It was established that the key sources of threats are the admission of untrained personnel, the unsatisfactory condition of outdated equipment, violations of technological discipline, and the lack of proper use of personal protective equipment. A hierarchical system of safety measures has been developed, covering the complete elimination of hazards through modernization (replacement of overhead networks with cable networks), the implementation of engineering and technical solutions (ventilation systems, locking, fencing), as well as organizational measures and the use of personal protective equipment. The need for a comprehensive approach to risk management that takes into account both regulatory requirements and specific working conditions at specific workplaces has been proven. Scientific novelty. It consists in systematizing and detailing specific threats in the work of an electrician repairing and maintaining electrical equipment. For the first time, attention is focused on the need to adapt hazard identification to martial law conditions, in particular due to the emergence of new risks associated with massive attacks on energy infrastructure and the…

THE IMPACT OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGIES ON THE MENTAL HEALTH OF THE POPULATION IN WAR CONDITIONS
type: item
description: Purpose. The purpose of the article is to provide a comprehensive analysis of the impact of information technologies on the mental health of the population in wartime, as well as to substantiate the role of the digital information environment as a risk factor and a factor supporting the psychosocial stability of the population during emergencies. Research methods. The study uses a set of general scientific and special methods that provide a systematic analysis of the impact of information technologies on the mental health of the population in wartime. Results. The study substantiates that digital verification tools can perform a preventive function in reducing psychosocial risks. At the same time, significant limitations in their use for a large part of the population with low levels of digital and media literacy have been identified, confirming the need to adapt such tools to the needs of a wide range of users. Conceptual approaches to the creation of accessible tools for rapid verification of information reliability are proposed, focusing on ease of use, visual clarity and minimisation of cognitive load. The feasibility of integrating such solutions into everyday digital environments (browsers, messengers) has been proven, which increases their effectiveness as elements of psychosocial protection. The prospects for the use of artificial intelligence technologies for automated content analysis and detection of disinformation have been identified. The use of AI helps to reduce information overload and anxiety. Scientific novelty. It consists in conducting research on the impact of information technologies on the mental health of the population in conditions of martial law. Practical significance. The results of the study can be used in the development of state and regional programmes for psychosocial protection, mental health support, as well as educational initiatives in the field of media literacy and information security.

EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES OF AIR MOVEMENT PARAMETERS IN GOAF AREAS
type: item
description: Purpose. Based on in-situ mine experimental observations, to reveal the regularities of air movement in the compacting rocks of the extraction section goaf. Research Method. In-situ instrumental measurements of air distribution in mine workings located within the goaf area near the longwall face. Results. The mining-geological and mining-technical conditions for maintaining ventilation workings in the deep mines of the Donbas are described. The indicators of air surveys in these mine workings are presented. An analysis of air leakages into the goaf of the extraction section is performed. Scientific novelty. Based on in-situ mine observations, it has been confirmed that the collapsed roof rocks are an impermeable environment for air moving due to the general mine pressure differential (depression). This applies equally to both compacted and non-compacted areas of the undermined massif at the level of the seam floor. From this, it can be concluded that the emergence of coal self-heating focal points is impossible there due to the lack of air exchange. The process of undermined massif subsidence over artificial structures leads to the formation of cavities ‑ air collectors. Therefore, there is a threat of self-heating of the coal left near such artificial structures. Practical Significance. The presented research results supplement modern concepts of air flow movement in the goaf of an extraction section and are of significant importance for ensuring the reliability and safety of mining operations at great depths, as well as for the prevention of endogenous fires.

STUDY OF THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FIRE-EXTINGUISHING ACTION OF MEANS FOR PREVENTING THE SPREAD OF FIRES IN PEATLANDS
type: item
description: Purpose. In order to improve the effectiveness of preventing the spread of fires in peatlands, means based on highly porous mineral carriers, in particular expanded vermiculite immobilized with fire-extinguishing salts, were studied. Special attention was given to the analysis of the physico-chemical mechanism of their action, which includes a physical stage (release of the inhibitor from the pores of the carrier) and a chemical stage (interaction of the inhibitor with active combustion particles). Methodology. To determine the influence of the composition of the means on the mechanism of fire suppression, a topochemical analysis of the interaction of the inhibitor with radicals was carried out, and the dependence of the completeness of its release from the pores of the carrier on the grade of expanded vermiculite and the type of fire-extinguishing salt (ammonium phosphate, diammonium phosphate) was studied under temperatures characteristic of peat combustion conditions. Results. It was established that explanations of the mechanism of deactivation of active combustion particles through their adsorption on the surface of the inhibitor or homolytic decomposition of molecules are insufficiently substantiated. The most convincing hypothesis is the interaction of active particles with whole inhibitor molecules, resulting in the formation of a complex that delocalizes the free valence and significantly reduces the activity of radicals. It was proven that the completeness of inhibitor release hardly depends on the grade of expanded vermiculite; however, diammonium phosphate showed better results. Scientific novelty. The understanding of the physico-chemical mechanism of action of fire-extinguishing means based on highly porous mineral carriers has been improved. The delocalization mechanism of reducing the activity of free radicals during combustion was substantiated, which provides a more precise explanation of the inhibiting effect. Practical value. The research results…

ANALYSIS AND NORMALIZATION OF PARAMETERS OF AIR IONIZATION, LOW-FREQUENCY SOUND AND ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELDS IN ROOMS WITH A LARGE NUMBER OF COMPUTERS AND EQUIPMENT
type: item
description: Purpose. To carry out a comprehensive study of the dynamics and normalization of quantitative characteristics of harmful physical factors that are not perceived directly by the senses of users, in rooms and workplaces with a large number of computers and office equipment. This will allow developing measures to ensure regulatory working conditions for users of personal computer equipment. Methods. Measurements of the concentration of positive and negative air ions, levels of low-frequency sound and infrasound, as well as the intensity of the electric and magnetic induction components of electromagnetic fields in rooms with a large number of computer equipment. Determination of the dynamics of the values ​​of physical factors of the environment in space and time, analysis of the negative impact of computer equipment and auxiliary devices to determine the conditions and means of their normalization. Results. An assessment of ion generation by various models of copying equipment and modernized laser printers was carried out. It has been established that the concentration of ions formed can reach 1500 cm⁻³ for laser printers and 2800 cm⁻³ for inkjet printers. It was determined that at a distance of 1.0–1.5 m the concentration of air ions returns to the background level. It is shown that the operation of one system unit is the main above-normal factor during the operation of portable computers, since its electric fields with a strength of up to 9 kV/m lead to a decrease in the concentration of light air ions in the user's area (positive ions by approximately 100 cm⁻³, and negative ions by 200 cm⁻³). It was found that the difference between the sound levels registered on the “Lin” and “A” scales is up to 24 dB. This indicates a significant impact of infrasound on the body of users. It was found that modern monitors do not create electromagnetic fields, the intensity of which would exceed hygienically permissible limits. At the same time, system units generate electric fiel…

PROACTIVE INCIDENT INVESTIGATION METHOD
type: item
description: Purpose of this article is to determine the role of incidents in the occupational health and safety management system (hereinafter referred to as OHSMS) of an enterprise as a tool for preventing occupational injuries and accidents, managing occupational risks, improving the occupational health and safety management system, forming a positive culture of safety and health for employees at work, as well as justifying the application of international standards and approaches to investigating incidents in order to find effective solutions and methods for preventing them. Methodology. The author proposes a methodology that focuses not on the fact of the event, but on the potential harm of the incident, even if there are no consequences. The incident is considered a risk signal, not an event that has already caused harm. The main stages of the methodology include: - identification of incidents, including near misses, dangerous behavior, and procedural non-compliance; - assessment of the potential severity of consequences that could have occurred in the worst-case scenario; - analysis of root causes (organizational, technical, behavioral, managerial, psychophysiological, man-made, natural, environmental, social, and others); - connection with the occupational risk register (adjustment with risk assessment and management); - development of systemic preventive and protective measures; - feedback and staff training. This will allow incidents to be linked to risk management and occupational safety culture at the enterprise in accordance with the requirements of the national standard DSTU ISO 45001:2019 "Occupational health and safety management systems. Requirements and guidelines for use" (hereinafter referred to as the Standard) as a necessary tool for ensuring the effectiveness of the OHSMS. It can also be easily adapted to any sector of the economy in various hazardous industries. Results. The results of implementing proactive incident investigation methods in the enterpris…

RESEARCH ON THE MOVEMENT SPEED OF LOW-MOBILITY POPULATION GROUPS IN CIVIL PROTECTION SHELTERS
type: item
description: Purpose. To accurately assess the entry and exit time of civil protection shelters, it was considered that the existing facilities were not adapted to the needs of persons with disabilities and other low-mobility population groups. A series of computer simulations were conducted to model descent and ascent under various conditions and group compositions. The simulations utilized a complex architectural layout to account for all distinctive features of human movement within a crowd. Methods. The individual-flow movement calculation method was selected to estimate the descent and exit times. This method, in contrast to simplified analytical models, incorporates the heterogeneity of the human flow, considering varying mobility capacities and the projected human body area. Results. Baseline computational experiments were performed to obtain reference values. The geometric parameters and boundary conditions of the evacuation routes were set in accordance with regulatory requirements. Novelty. Simulations of descent and ascent under maximum permissible deviations from evacuation route design standards indicated that the movement time of low-mobility population groups increased by 15 and 22 seconds, respectively, compared to the baseline experiment. Furthermore, the introduction of smart assistive devices resulted in an almost twofold increase in movement time. These findings demonstrate that while smart assistive devices and additional equipment improve comfort and accessibility for low-mobility population groups, they considerably prolong the descent and ascent duration. Practical significance. The study underscores the necessity of integrating adaptive design principles in civil protection shelters to balance accessibility with evacuation efficiency for vulnerable population groups.

RESEARCH ON THE IMPACT OF FIELD RUNOFF ON THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EUTROPHICATION PROCESS OF WATER INTAKES
type: item
description: Purpose. The goal of this study is to reveal the mechanism of the impact of changes in the nutrient content of the chemical composition of aquatic habitats on the life activity of cyanobacteria, particularly their development and reproduction in the presence of mineral fertilizers such as nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium. Research Pethodology. Experimental methods were used to conduct the research, including laboratory microscopic studies and testing the impact of concentrations of key biogenic elements on the cyanobacteria population in aquatic environments. Observations of the color of solutions and the presence of sediment allowed the determination of the effect of mineral fertilizers on the processes of eutrophication and biological development of aquatic ecosystems. Results. The article discusses the problem of protecting water intakes from eutrophication caused by runoff of mineral fertilizers from fields. It reveals the mechanism of the impact of nutrient changes in the chemical composition of aquatic habitats on the life activity of cyanobacteria. The research found that the dissolution of complex mineral fertilizers (nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium) in water at concentrations up to 10 g/L promotes the active development of cyanobacteria, accompanied by the complete binding of mineral additives and intense oxygen consumption. Adding fertilizers in quantities greater than 1 g/L leads to a sharp increase in the growth rate of the cyanobacteria population, triggering conditions for water bloom. Enrichment of the habitat’s food base with fertilizers results in explosive growth of the biocenosis and accelerated consumption of dissolved substances. The average phosphorus absorption rate reached more than 17 g/(Lday), and nitrogen absorption reached 30 g/(Lday). The formation of sediment and foam in experimental vessels was associated with the depletion of nutrients and the death of hydrobionts. This phenomenon may serve as an indicator of reduced oxygen lev…

STUDY OF THERMOCATALYTIC COMBUSTIBLE GAS SENSORS UNDER WATER INGRESS INTO THEIR GAS DIFFUSION FILTERS
type: item
description: Purpose. To investigate the impact of accidental water ingress into the metal-ceramic gas diffusion filters of thermocatalytic sensors on the performance of explosion hazard monitoring devices. Methods. The study employs experimental research methods under laboratory conditions using serial thermocatalytic pellistor-type sensors with a non-selective platinum-palladium catalyst. The results are assessed and generalized. Results. The conducted research allowed us to evaluate the effect of water ingress into thermocatalytic sensors with metal-ceramic filter elements on the performance of explosion hazard monitoring devices. It was found that even after multiple instances of water ingress using distilled water, the characteristics of the thermocatalytic sensors remained unchanged after the filter elements dried. When exposed to purified mineralized water, repeated water ingress led to zero drift in gas analyzers and, in some cases, a slight decrease in sensitivity. In contrast, exposure to unpurified mineralized water resulted in zero drift across all analyzers and a reduction in sensitivity. Novelty. It was established that repeated water ingress into the metal-ceramic gas diffusion filters of thermocatalytic sensors using unpurified highly mineralized water leads to zero drift of gas analyzers toward positive values and a reduction in sensitivity. This effect is attributed to the accumulation of salt deposits on the inner surface of the filters and an increase in the gas diffusion resistance of the filter. Practical significance. The findings establish conditions under which it is necessary to check and calibrate explosion hazard monitoring devices based on the thermocatalytic method when operating in coal mines and early hazard detection systems at oil and gas facilities.

PRINCIPLES OF APPLICATION OF ULTRATHIN COATINGS FOR SHIELDING ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION OF MAN-MADE ORIGIN
type: item
description: Purpose. To develop the principles of using ultrathin metallized coatings for shielding electromagnetic radiation of technogenic origin. Methods. Theoretical justification of obtaining ultrathin metal coatings for optimal shielding of electromagnetic fields of ultrahigh and higher frequencies. Empirical confirmation that sputtering a thin metal layer on glass provides protection from the effects of electromagnetic radiation and does not significantly reduce the penetration of daylight. Results. It was established that the reflection coefficient for coatings up to 10 nm thick can provide reflection coefficients of electromagnetic waves up to 25 dB. Calculation relations are provided for determining the conductivity of a metal film, which is significantly different from the bulk conductivity and determines the value of the shielding coefficient. The dependences of the reflection coefficients of sputtering in common metals on the film thickness are provided. The effect of achieving a maximum reflection coefficient at a certain film thickness is established. It is calculated to show what happens when the film thickness is equal to the skin layer thickness for a given radiation frequency. This makes it possible to optimize the thickness of the metal coating both from the point of view of electromagnetic safety and based on lighting needs. Novelty. Based on calculations, it was established that a stable value of the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic waves is achieved at a certain frequency of the electromagnetic field, provided that the film thickness reaches the thickness of the skin layer in the metal. Practical significance. It was established that in the ultrahigh and ultrahigh frequency ranges, the reflection coefficient of electromagnetic waves for a fixed film thickness practically does not depend on the radiation frequency. To increase the shielding efficiency of glass with metal coating, it is desirable to ground the metallized layer.

ASSESSMENT OF THE RESCUE AND SELF-RESCUE SYSTEM FOR UNDERGROUND WORKERS
type: item
description: Purpose. The study includes an analysis of the length of mine workings and an assessment of the time required for the safe evacuation of miners, as well as the ventilation scheme of the mining section. Additionally, the calculation of the protective operational duration of self-rescuers is conducted to determine whether there is sufficient time to exit the potential hazard zone. Methodology. The methodology involves analyzing the length of mine workings, assessing the time required for the safe evacuation of miners, and evaluating the ventilation scheme of the mining section. A calculation of the protective operational duration of self-rescuers is also performed to determine whether the available time is sufficient for escaping the potential hazard zone. Results. Ensuring worker safety in the mining industry is currently one of the top priorities that requires attention at all levels. One of the key factors affecting miner safety is their ability to evacuate in the event of an emergency. Novelty. There is a high risk that workers may be unable to leave the hazardous area due to the absence of strategies and procedures to ensure their safety in such situations. This issue demands special attention from designers and mining professionals to minimize risks and guarantee the safety of individuals working in these conditions. This approach clearly conveys the seriousness of the problem and the need for a more in-depth analysis that considers all potential risks in mine design. Practical significance. When designing mining sections, mining enterprises must take into account the possibility of conducting rescue operations, including self-rescue and miner evacuation in emergency situations. This is crucial because, in complex mining and geological conditions, rescue teams may be unable to reach the accident site in a timely manner.
