partially solve one of the main tasks, namely, to implement targeted planning of 
corrective measures aimed at reducing traumatic situations. 
In our opinion, this can be done by conducting comprehensive research, 
including the analysis of both factors already presented in existing methods: injuries, 
diseases, potential danger of technical devices, workplaces based on the certification 
protocols, and by introducing and using new, more informative and objective 
methods widely used in world practice, namely: analysis of micro injury, 
questionnaires of workers and an expert assessment of the actual state of workplaces. 
The latter is very important, since it allows using the data of expert assessments for 
subsequent targeted planning of corrective measures. 
As a result, in order to solve the set tasks, the following approaches are proposed 
that allow for a deeper analysis and assessment of professional risks. Risk analysis 
and assessment is carried out in two stages. At the first stage (baseline assessment), 
the existing cases of injuries, diseases, and micro injuries are analyzed, which are the

most informative source of data, which is confirmed by the injury pyramid shown in 
Fig. one.

The collected data on micro injury will allow a deeper study of injuries, as well 
as provide the expert group with additional information to form a more complete 
picture of possible potential risks [6]. 
The analysis of the results of certification of workplaces and the characteristics 
of equipment, allowing to assess its potential hazard, are also an important 
component of the basic assessment of professional risks, for the subsequent ranking 
of structural units by hazard level, but based on the results of such analysis, it is not 
possible to identify potential risks for each specific unit of the enterprise. Therefore, 
the next step, in our opinion, should be an in-depth or detailed assessment of potential 
risks for specific occupations of workers based on expert methods. A group of 
experts, which should include employees who know the technological process at the 
enterprise, its features, who are versed in labor protection and safety at work, which 
include: manager, chief engineer, labor protection engineer, technologist, and other 
specialists at their discretion the head of the structural unit. This group examines all 
the most important components of labor safety, such as: the quality and completeness 
of the technological process, the use of personal protective equipment, order at the 
workplace, safety when working with equipment, occupational health, ergonomics, 
etc. Based on the observations made, the working group identifies the dangers that lie 
in wait for the employee at each permanent workplace and for each profession with a 
non-permanent workplace. For each identified hazard, the working group determines 
the likelihood of its occurrence and the magnitude of the negative consequences. In 
addition, to identify the professions most at risk of industrial injuries, the working 
group conducts a survey of all employees of the enterprise using special, pre-prepared 
questionnaires, including questions on the influence of hazardous and harmful 
production factors in the workplace, the quality of the organization of the 
technological process, psychological conditions, the quality of the training provided 
and the employee's knowledge in the field of labor safety and protection.

The data collected and processed at the second stage (detailed risk assessment) 
will make it possible to identify the potential values of risks for each specific 
profession of each division in the enterprise, which, in turn, will provide the 
possibility of forming a targeted or targeted program of corrective measures in 
conditions of limited resources, which, as a result, will allow to more effectively 
reduce the most significant risks of industrial injuries. 
As a result of the implementation of this approach, the problem of occupational 
risk management for rail infrastructure farms can be successfully solved.
