A model for determining employee compliance with professional requirements in human–machine systems of railway transport

Abstract

The article discusses the issues of minimizing the influence of the human factor on train traffic safety and occupational safety in railway transport. An analysis of statistical data on occupational injuries and violations of labor protection requirements at the enterprises of JSC “Uzbekiston Temir Yollari” was carried out. It was established that a significant part of safety violations is associated with an insufficient level of professional training, non-compliance with technological processes, and inadequate control over personnel activities. A methodology for determining the professional profile and assessing the degree of compliance of an employee’s individual profile with the requirements of a specific professional activity is proposed. The methodology is based on comparing the reference professional profile and the individual characteristics of an employee using normalized indicators and weight coefficients of significance. A compliance assessment coefficient was developed, making it possible to determine the level of professional suitability of personnel, identify risk groups, and formulate recommendations for training, rotation, and restriction of access to certain operations.
