32 cards. Read the term and the definition here. The deck at the top of this page is optional.
- Authorised industrial safety body
- The Committee for Industrial Safety and State Inspection under the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan; it registers declarations, issues permits and conducts state supervision over hazardous production facilities.
- Law on Civil Protection
- Kazakhstan's 2014 law that establishes the civil protection system, including industrial safety obligations, emergency prevention and response, and the powers of state bodies in this field.
- Industrial safety declaration
- A document prepared by the operator of a hazardous production facility that identifies the facility, analyses accident risk, describes safety measures and contains the emergency response plan; it is subject to expert review.
- Risk-based inspection
- Supervision model in which hazardous production facilities are assigned risk categories and the frequency of scheduled state inspections depends on the category, with unscheduled inspections allowed only on legal grounds.
- Industrial safety expertise
- Expert review of a declaration, technical device or project by an accredited organisation to verify compliance with industrial safety requirements; its conclusion is part of the approval package.
- HPF identification act
- A document in which the operator determines whether the facility meets hazardous production facility criteria and assigns the hazard class; it is submitted with the declaration for registration.
- Hazard class I facility
- The highest hazard class of a hazardous production facility, assigned where the largest quantities of hazardous substances or the greatest potential accident scale are present; it faces the strictest supervision.
- Pressure threshold criterion
- Equipment operating at a pressure above 0.07 MPa or with water at a temperature above 115 °C is a hazardous production facility criterion and is subject to pressure equipment safety rules.
- Production control
- The operator's own documented system of inspections verifying compliance with industrial safety requirements; results are recorded and may be requested by the state supervisory body.
- Accident elimination plan
- A facility document defining the notification scheme, responsibilities, resources and actions for responding to a possible accident; it is coordinated with emergency services and drilled periodically.
- Operator liability insurance
- Mandatory civil liability insurance of a hazardous production facility operator covering harm to life, health, property and the environment caused by an accident at the facility.
- HAZOP study
- A qualitative risk method that applies guide words such as no, more, less, reverse and part of to process parameters at nodes to identify deviations, causes and consequences.
- Fault tree analysis
- A deductive risk method that starts from the top accident event and works downward through AND/OR gates to basic events, showing how combinations of failures cause the accident.
- Event tree analysis
- An inductive risk method that starts from an initiating event and models the sequence of success or failure of protective responses to estimate the probability of the resulting outcomes.
- Acceptable risk criterion
- A limit set by legislation or normative documents; if the assessed risk at a facility exceeds it, the operator must implement additional measures to reduce the risk.
- Pressure vessel technical examination
- Periodic external and internal inspection plus a hydraulic or pneumatic pressure test of pressure equipment, performed at intervals set by the rules and the manufacturer's documentation.
- Crane responsible person
- A certified specialist appointed by the operator to supervise the safe operation of lifting structures, including inspection, maintenance planning and control of slingers and operators.
- Safety valve function
- A device on pressure equipment that automatically releases pressure when it exceeds the set limit, protecting the vessel or pipeline from overpressure and rupture.
- Blowout preventer
- Well control equipment installed at the wellhead to seal the wellbore and prevent uncontrolled release of formation fluids during drilling, workover or well killing operations.
- Hot work permit
- A formal authorisation for welding, cutting or other ignition sources in explosive zones, requiring gas-air testing before and during work and a fire watch with extinguishing means.
- Tank farm bunding
- A dike or wall around a tank group designed to contain the volume of the largest tank in case of spill, preventing the spread of flammable liquid.
- Mine ventilation monitoring
- Continuous measurement of airflow and gas composition in underground workings, required to keep harmful gases below limits and to detect deterioration before it becomes an emergency.
- Blasting danger zone
- The calculated area around a blast from which people and equipment must be removed and which must be guarded and signalled before the blast is fired.
- Mine rescue service
- A specialised emergency unit that responds to accidents in mines, performs rescue operations and participates in the coordination of the mine accident elimination plan.
- CPR compression ratio
- For an adult casualty who is not breathing, chest compressions and rescue breaths are given in a ratio of 30 compressions to 2 breaths until help arrives or breathing returns.
- Fire class E
- A fire involving live electrical equipment; water must not be used, and carbon dioxide or dry powder extinguishers are selected after de-energising where possible.
- Emergency notification scheme
- The defined sequence in which a worker who detects an accident notifies the shift supervisor, facility management, emergency service 112 and the local executive body.
- Special assessment of working conditions
- An evaluation that classifies workplaces into optimal, acceptable, harmful or dangerous classes; the class determines guarantees, compensation, PPE norms and medical examination frequency.
- Industrial safety certification
- Periodic training and testing of managers and specialists at hazardous production facilities, required before appointment and at least once every five years thereafter.
- Induction safety training
- Training given to a worker on hiring that covers facility hazards, rules and emergency procedures; it is recorded in the training log before the worker starts work.
- Personal protective equipment norms
- Standards that determine which protective clothing and equipment are issued for a given profession and working condition; the employer pays and may not charge the worker.
- Periodic medical examination
- A health check required for workers in harmful or hazardous conditions at a frequency set by the legislation, aimed at early detection of occupational disease and fitness assessment.
