Assessment of the efficiency of occupational safety culture management in fuel and energy companies
The results of development, testing and implementation of the process of occupational safety culture management in a fuel and energy company including the assessment of current state, assessment of deviation, formation of control action and its implementation are presented. Using the methods of mathematical analysis, the components of occupational safety culture and criteria for their evaluation were developed. As a control action, a procedure for conducting behavioural safety audit was elaborated and implemented. Proceeding from the results of analysing average ratings of safety culture components among the employees prior to and after the introduction of behavioural safety audit, it was concluded that there was a statistically significant increase in the average values of 12 out of 16 ratings of safety culture components. Analysis of the results of 1,011 audits showed the absence of an “alarm area” at the enterprise. Introduction of the developed process management model promotes an increase in the efficiency of attaining a high level of occupational safety culture in fuel and energy companies.

Priority parameters of physical processes in a rock mass when determining the safety of radioactive waste disposal
- Authors:
- V. S. Gupalo
Consideration of geodynamic, hydrogeochemical, erosion and other quantitative characteristics describing evolutionary processes in a rock mass is carried out when choosing a geological formation for the disposal of radioactive waste. However, the role of various process parameters is not equal for safety ensuring and additional percentages of measurement accuracy are far from always being of fundamental importance. This makes it necessary to identify various types of indicators of the geological environment that determine the safety of radioactive waste disposal for their detailed study in the conditions of the burial site. An approach is proposed to determine the priority indicators of physical processes in the rock mass that determine the safety of disposal of various types of radio active waste and require increased attention (accuracy, frequency of measurements) when determining in - situ conditions. To identify such factors, we used the sensitivity analysis method that is a system change in the limits of variable values during securty modeling in order to assess their impact on the final result and determine the role of various physical processes in ensuring safety.

Geotechnical monitoring in cryolite zone. Ecological or industrial safety
- Authors:
- A. P. Popov
The article contains the principal methodological points of the technology of geotechnical monitoring of engineer constructions in the cryolite zone. By way of practical example it was shown the efficiency of its application for reduction of risks in the industrial and economic activities of Gasprom Co by means of creation of numerical models of stability of ground basements and foundations, timely control of mechanical safety of buildings and constructions, qualitative substantiated numerical forecasting and potential variant modeling of aftereffects of technical decisions for stabilization of a situation. Geotechnical monitoring in contrast to the industrial production ecological monitoring is the technology for control of mechanical safety of buildings and constructions at the stages of their designing, construction and exploitation.

Virtual and rational in anthropological horizons of consciousness
- Authors:
- A. I. Voronov
In work ambivalence of concept «a virtual reality» is considered. On the advantage, the given concept serves as the description of technics of a virtual reality, but on the other hand, it, more and more, becomes a symbol of new mythological concept of consciousness.

Anthropological crisis: problems and decisions (ontology of hesychasm and humanism prospects)
- Authors:
- A. I. Voronov
The European humanism can have new page of the history, by means of assimilation of philosophical ideas Greek hesychasm. The given concept opens the person not as motionless human «I» based on Aristotel”s idea of substantiality, but as a being (in style of Heraclites philosophy), with eternally mobile energy, forming the human person.

The use of data on stress-strain state of rock mass in solutions of mining-and-technical tasks on the example of the Tishin ore mine
The Permion State Technical University and ASE «VNIItsvetmet» have carried out in situ measurements of stress-strain state at the Tishinsky lead-zinc ore deposit. Measurements and interpretation of deformations and stresses caused by excavation were used. Complex of researches made it possible to solve some important problems for safeguarding effective and secure ore production ore on deep level.
