Assessment of professional risks at enterprises in Kazakhstan

The article substantiates the indicators used in assessing occupational risks at Kazakhstani enterprises. To improve safety performance in the industry, security professionals play a crucial role in conducting local assessments. Thus, it was examined whether the understanding and acceptance of security risks by security specialists affects the quality and reliability of risk assessment.

According to the scientific literature, when assessing occupational risk in an organization, general indicators are used. This can be measured on the basis of indicators such as the number of accidents at work, the number of training activities on employee safety, etc. However, the use of general indicators may not reflect the real state of the organization. Therefore, the main purpose of the study is to determine individual indicators of occupational risk assessment with the analysis of statistical data on occupational injuries.

In the assessment of occupational risks, the analysis of the dynamics of accidents and occupational injuries in the Republic of Kazakhstan for 2012-2021, according to the number of victims in connection with work, including fatal accidents, was carried out. Many traumatic factors and the main causes of accidents are considered, conclusions are drawn about the indicators of occupational injuries for the corresponding period of time, the dynamics of occupational injuries in various spheres of economic activity, industry and in the state as a whole.
