COMPETENCE MODEL OF THE SPECIALIST IN LABOR SAFETY FOR THE AGRO-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX IN THE SYSTEM OF VOCATIONAL TRAINING

The article discusses the main approaches to the development of a competency-based model of a labor protection specialist for the agro-industrial complex. Attention is focused on the need for fundamentalization and professionalization of training as the most important conditions for the formation of a competency-based model. The structural composition of the considered model is proposed.

Introduction

For the implementation of any professional activity a person must have a number of professionally important qualities necessary for work (the ability to make decisions, analyze situations, be organized, sociable, proactive, competent, etc.). The activity of a labor protection specialist has an integrative quality, i.e., the quality specified by the object of professional activity. This object, in turn, is two-sided: on the one hand, it is a person in all the diversity of his subjectivity, on the other hand, it is a labor safety management system.

Consequently, the professional activity of a labor protection specialist involves the following types - production and management, for the successful implementation of which the future specialist must have the necessary professional and socio-psychological qualities (sensory, perceptual, psychomotor properties, observation, motor, figurative and verbal-logical memory, technical thinking, spatial considerations, etc.). The formation of these qualities occurs when designing a competency model for a labor protection specialist.

Main part

Features of agricultural production, as well as high level injuries at the facilities of the agro-industrial complex determine the significance of the activity of a labor protection specialist, impose requirements on his professional preparedness, competence in labor safety issues. In turn, the analysis of the formation and development of professional qualities of labor protection specialists shows that the principles of selection and content of specialized training have not been sufficiently studied, the competence model needs to be clarified, taking into account modern socio-economic, environmental and production conditions.

The main criteria approaches for developing such a model should be:

Theoretical readiness to study the profession and moral maturity in updating professional knowledge;

Professional competence in interprofessional dialogue and readiness for self-regulation of professional actions;

Professional competence in the transformative activity of the individual.

Competence is understood as social and professional life activity based on human knowledge. The basis of this quality is the knowledge, skills, experience, values, inclinations and ability of the individual to social and professional activities. Abilities are the individual psychological characteristics of a person, which include the knowledge and skills of a person, which determine his ability to successfully master the technical side of an activity and express readiness to master certain types of it.

Ability and readiness, which are the qualities of the subject, are interrelated. At the same time, ability is not identified with readiness for professional activity.

The concept of "competence" implies: the presence of a real specific situation in which the previously hidden potential competence of a person can be in demand and become relevant; general readiness of the subject for independent successful activity; the determining role of knowledge, skills, experience, values and inclinations acquired in the learning process. The basis for determining the content of the concept of "competence" is readiness, expressed in the mobilization of all psycho-physiological systems of a person, ensuring the effective performance of professional actions.

The competency model is a description of what set of competencies a specialist should have, what professional functions he should be ready to perform, what degree of his preparedness should be. Therefore, when designing training, the fundamentalization and professionalization of training are of particular importance.

The fundamentalization of OSH education involves the selection of the most significant and sustainable content that can guide practical activities. We are talking about the knowledge of the basic principles, patterns that allow you to correctly assess the possibility of applying newly acquired knowledge. For example, when studying the discipline "Industrial safety" (specialty 1-74 06 07 "Management of labor protection in agriculture"), the leading line will not be the enumeration and characteristics of specific machines, mechanisms or processes, but the identification of the most significant properties of mechanisms, principles of operation of machines and mechanisms to ensure their safe operation.

At the stage of professionalization, it is necessary to focus on such important qualities as social and professional competence, the need for self-improvement, professional dominance and Social responsibility, predictive ability, professional reliability and civic humanism, professional intelligence and individual style of activity.

This will require the professionalization of education, clarification, i.e.:

Determination of the leading goal of each subject, its place in the system of formation of engineering and technical knowledge in the preparation of an engineer for labor protection in agroengineering universities;

Identification of the most significant professional tasks solved on the basis of engineering and technical knowledge obtained in each subject;

Determination with this in mind an expedient structure academic discipline, specific gravity each part of it;

Development of practical knowledge and classes aimed at the formation of engineering and technical knowledge.

The professionalism of any specialist should be considered as an integrated indicator of his personal and activity essence, while highlighting three components:

Knowledge as a basis, the basis of professionalism as a whole, characterizing its personal and activity essence;

Communication as the ability and willingness to use knowledge in decision-making or situation analysis;

Self-improvement as a strategic skill in professional formation and development, which is achieved through self-education, as well as in the process of communication with colleagues, and manifests itself as the ability to see the advantages and disadvantages of one's own activity, and quickly eliminate them through self-education and self-development.

With this approach to the implementation of the learning process, the competence model of a labor protection specialist will be formed. The structural components of the model under consideration are: cognitive-evaluative (a system of deep theoretical knowledge, the level of the cognitive sphere of the individual, a system for updating knowledge on industrial safety and labor safety throughout the working life), motivational-value (the system of values and motives of the individual; the ratio of knowledge to solve problems of efficiency and reliability of professional activity), socio-cultural (a system of relations to socially significant goals), professional and personal (the level of professional compliance of a labor protection specialist, his need for continuous improvement of knowledge, their application in professional activities).

The listed components are closely interconnected: the cognitive-evaluative component encourages the renewal of special knowledge, skills, and the ability to make decisions independently. Motivational-value develops a conscious impulse to master special knowledge, the ability to solve production problems using non-standard methods.

The socio-cultural component includes moral norms of behavior (honesty, decency, criticality, purposefulness, individuality, creativity). Professional-personal expresses the degree of education of a specialist, his need for constant updating of knowledge.

The generalized competencies in the considered model of a labor protection specialist are:

1. Achievement Orientation (measures performance, improves results, sets challenging goals, innovates).

2. Influencing and influencing (uses direct persuasion, facts and figures, demonstrates concern for professional reputation).

3. Conceptual thinking (recognizes key actions, hidden problems, creates links and models).

4. Analytical thinking (anticipates obstacles, systematically breaks down problems into their component parts, draws logical conclusions, sees consequences, hidden meaning).

5. Initiative (insists on solving problems, addresses problems before being asked to).

6. Self-confidence (expresses confidence in one's own judgments, seeks difficulty and independence).

7. Interpersonal understanding (understands relationships, interests, needs of others).

8. Care about order (strives for clarity of roles and information; checks the quality of work or information, keeps records).

9. Search for information (contacts with many different sources, reads magazines, etc.).

10. Teamwork and collaboration (team discussion, seeking everyone's input).

11. Expertise (expands and uses technical knowledge; enjoys technical work; shares professional knowledge.

In conclusion, it should be noted that for the current level of development of industrial and social technologies, it is not enough just to have a high level of compliance with safety regulations, since there is a need not only for knowledge, skills and abilities to ensure life safety, but also for the safe implementation of any type of activity, understanding of goals and consequences of their actions for society and the environment natural environment, the formation of future specialists necessary competencies, a special type of culture that takes into account the specifics of human activity in the conditions of reaching the limits of growth, a culture of life safety. The optimal solution to this issue is to build a competency model for a labor protection specialist, which allows you to determine the professional and personal qualities necessary for successful professional activity.

Today we will touch on a topic, information on which, it would seem, is everywhere abound. But nonetheless, this topic does not become less relevant in today's conditions, when the number of suitable candidates on the market is tens or even hundreds of times greater than the number of open vacancies.

Remember

The resume is yours business card and the way it is composed is more than half of the success. Your main task when searching new work will write a resume in such a way that it becomes competitive or, as recruiters like to say, “sold”.

The two main principles of resume writing

First of all, I would like to dwell on the basic principles of compiling a resume: brevity and structure. The resume should fit no more than 2 pages, even with a very rich work experience, and have a clear structure - the information should not be arranged randomly. Adhering to this rule will not be difficult if you publish your resume on job search sites. All the information there is already divided into semantic blocks in advance, and you just have to fill in the empty columns. Also, almost any such site allows you to upload a finished resume to desired format(for example, http://hh.ru, http://www.superjob.ru).

Mandatory information for any resume

Your resume should always include the following information:

Surname, First name, Patronymic, age;
Desired position and salary;
Contact information (phone number where you are always available and current email address);
Experience;
Basic and additional education;
Key skills, personal qualities;
Recommendations from colleagues and managers from previous jobs.

How to describe work experience to an occupational safety specialist?

“Work Experience” is the section of a resume that is most scrutinized by HRs and employers. Therefore, it is very important to present the information in such a way that a correct opinion is formed about you as a professional in the field of labor protection.

First of all, indicate the dates of work in the organization, indicating the number of months (years) worked, the direction of the organization's activities. If you have worked in large organizations, also indicate the number of employees of the organization (at least approximately), demonstrating your ability to work with large structures.

When listing your official duties please do not forget about the brevity of the presentation. You don't need to copy your job description, highlight the main areas of your work and what seems most important to you.

For a labor protection specialist, it is standard to have following directions works (they are indicated by nouns in the nominative case):

Development and maintenance of local regulatory documentation on labor protection;
Conducting briefings, organizing the necessary types of training for production personnel;
Investigation and accounting of accidents in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation;
Organizing the issuance of personal protective equipment, special clothing, shoes for employees;
Organization of medical examinations (preliminary / periodic, pre-trip);
Interaction and representation of the interests of the company in state supervisory and regulatory authorities.

Do not include in your resume what you did not do. Honesty is also the key to success. It will not be so difficult for an experienced HR to catch you lying at an interview.

Equally important in the "Work Experience" section is an indication of the results and achievements. They will help to distinguish your resume from others of the same type. The lack of results and achievements in the resume is the main mistake of candidates whose resumes go unnoticed. For a labor protection specialist, the most advantageous achievements will be: the creation of a labor protection system at the enterprise from scratch, the successful completion of audits, inspections, experience in conducting a special assessment of working conditions at minimal cost (including at the expense of the Social Insurance Fund). Indicate something that will allow you to celebrate your performance. For example, if in connection with the organization of the labor protection service, the number of accidents at work has decreased, be sure to indicate this! It is also worth noting the absence or reduction in the number of instructions from the inspection bodies, if any. At the same time, it is important to specify exactly which inspection bodies you have dealt with. The employer is not interested in what your duties included, but in what you actually achieved. Don't be lazy and do the math. Recruiters and managers will appreciate the presence of real indicators, numbers, percentages in the resume, which will significantly increase your chances of being invited to an interview.

Let's look at examples that can be used:

Successful passing of inspections by GIT, Rostekhnadzor;
Reducing the number of occupational injuries compared to previous periods;
Reducing the company's expenses for conducting a special assessment of working conditions by attracting funds from the Social Insurance Fund.

Occupational safety and health regulations are updated regularly, so it is important to reflect your ability to work in such conditions. A listing of the measures taken to adapt to the latest legislative norms will be the dignity of any resume.

In addition to the above, if you have experience in the field of ecology, fire safety, industrial safety, be sure to mention this. It is not uncommon for an employer to look for just such a universal specialist, and this will become your key advantage.

Work places are arranged according to the standard rule - in reverse chronological order, that is, from the last to the first. If the duties in several positions are identical, then for the sake of brevity of the resume, you can indicate this (how - shown in our example resume, which you will find at the end of the article).

What to specify in the section "Additional education"?

The section "Additional education" is no less important for labor protection specialists. Indicate in it all the certifications and types of training that you have ever taken. Having this kind of information will confirm your skill level.

What should be listed in the Key Skills section?

For starters, don't confuse skill with personality. A skill is something that relates to your qualifications as a specialist. For example: ability to work with technical documentation; knowledge and practical use normative acts on labor protection; possession of information about the requirements and features of planning office, industrial premises, and so on. Don't forget to indicate the level of ownership foreign languages and the level of PC proficiency, experience with information and legal systems, design and drafting systems. In your personal qualities, try to indicate exactly those that help you in your work: responsibility, independence, decision-making skills, communication skills, the ability to process a large amount of information and work in a multitasking environment.

How to impress a potential employer?

If you can boast of having a portfolio (reports at conferences, articles on professional themes) - do not be modest, be sure to make links to these materials. The employer will appreciate them.

That, perhaps, is all. And, please, do not forget to check your resume for compliance with the Russian language standards, this is no less important than everything that is written above.

Use ours to create your own unique resume.

Competence model of a labor protection specialist
for the agro-industrial complex
in the vocational training system

Introduction

To carry out any professional activity, a person must possess a number of professionally important qualities necessary for work (the ability to make decisions, analyze situations, be organized, communicative, proactive, competent, etc.). The activity of a labor protection specialist has an integrative quality, i.e. quality, given by the object of professional activity. This object, in turn, is two-sided: on the one hand, it is a person in all the diversity of his subjectivity, on the other hand, it is a labor safety management system.
Consequently, the professional activity of a labor protection specialist involves the following types - production and management, for the successful implementation of which the future specialist must have the necessary professional and socio-psychological qualities (sensory, perceptual, psychomotor properties, observation, motor, figurative and verbal-logical memory, technical thinking, spatial considerations, etc.). The formation of these qualities occurs when designing a competency model for a labor protection specialist.

Main part

Features of agricultural production, as well as a high level of injuries at the facilities of the agro-industrial complex determine the importance of the activity of a labor protection specialist, impose requirements on his professional preparedness, competence in labor safety issues. In turn, the analysis of the formation and development of professional qualities of labor protection specialists shows that the principles of selection and content of specialized training have not been sufficiently studied, the competence model needs to be clarified, taking into account modern socio-economic, environmental and production conditions.
The main criteria approaches for developing such a model should be:
- theoretical readiness to study the profession and moral maturity in updating professional knowledge;
- professional competence in interprofessional dialogue and readiness for self-regulation of professional actions;
- professional competence in the transformative activity of the individual.
Competence is understood as social and professional life activity based on human knowledge. The basis of this quality is the knowledge, skills, experience, values, inclinations and ability of the individual to social and professional activities. Abilities are the individual psychological characteristics of a person, which include the knowledge and skills of a person, which determine his ability to successfully master the technical side of an activity and express readiness to master certain types of it.
Ability and readiness, which are the qualities of the subject, are interrelated. At the same time, ability is not identified with readiness for professional activity.
The concept of "competence" implies: the presence of a real specific situation in which the previously hidden potential competence of a person can be in demand and become relevant; general readiness of the subject for independent successful activity; the determining role of knowledge, skills, experience, values and inclinations acquired in the learning process. The basis for determining the content of the concept of "competence" is readiness, expressed in the mobilization of all psycho-physiological systems of a person, ensuring the effective performance of professional actions.
The competency model is a description of what set of competencies a specialist should have, what professional functions he should be ready to perform, what degree of his preparedness should be. Therefore, when designing training, the fundamentalization and professionalization of training are of particular importance.
The fundamentalization of OSH training involves the selection of the most significant and sustainable content that can guide practical activities. We are talking about the knowledge of the basic principles, patterns that allow you to correctly assess the possibility of applying newly acquired knowledge. For example, when studying the discipline “Industrial safety” (specialty 1-74 06 07 “Management of labor protection in agriculture”), the leading line will not be the enumeration and characteristics of specific machines, mechanisms or processes, but the identification of the most significant properties of mechanisms, the principles of operation of machines and mechanisms to ensure their safe operation.
At the stage of professionalization, it is necessary to focus on such important qualities as social and professional competence, the need for self-improvement, professional dominance and social responsibility, predictive abilities, professional reliability and civic humanism, professional intelligence and individual style of activity.
This will require the professionalization of education, clarification, i.e.:
- determination of the leading goal of each subject, its place in the system of formation of engineering and technical knowledge in the preparation of an engineer for labor protection in agroengineering universities;
- identification of the most significant professional tasks solved on the basis of engineering and technical knowledge obtained in each subject;
- determination, taking this into account, of the expedient structure of the academic discipline, the specific weight of each of its parts;
- development of practical knowledge and classes aimed at the formation of engineering and technical knowledge.
The professionalism of any specialist should be considered as an integrated indicator of his personal and activity essence, while highlighting three components:
- knowledge as a basis, the basis of professionalism as a whole, characterizing its personal and activity essence;
- communication as the ability and willingness to use knowledge in decision-making or situation analysis;
- self-improvement as a strategic skill in professional formation and development, which is achieved through self-education, as well as in the process of communication with colleagues and manifests itself as the ability to see the advantages and disadvantages of one's own activity, and quickly eliminate them through self-education and self-development.

Psychological and pedagogical knowledge is an essential part of the model in the formation of the self-awareness of a qualified specialist and, in general, a mature personality. Worthy performance of professional duty requires a specialist to know the features of his inner life, understanding his feelings, actions, thoughts; the ability to establish good relationships with other people. In addition, it becomes necessary for a modern educated person to know the laws of education and upbringing, their skillful application in professional life. The psychological aspect of designing such a specialist provides for the organization of learning motivation, stimulation and consideration of the emotional factor in professional activities, and the formation of intellectual interest in the future profession. Of the many forms, methods and means of forming a cognitive need, the most effective are the creation and resolution of problem situations, as well as the connection of the material presented with practice. Of no small importance is the formation of the content of training for labor protection specialists, which includes a systematic analysis of production, equipment and technology, labor organization, selection of the nomenclature of cycles of subjects, determination of the composition, content and volume of subjects.
With this approach to the implementation of the learning process, the competence model of a labor protection specialist will be formed. The structural components of the model under consideration are: cognitive-evaluative (a system of deep theoretical knowledge, the level of the cognitive sphere of the individual, a system for updating knowledge on industrial safety and labor safety throughout the working life), motivational-value (the system of values and motives of the individual; the ratio of knowledge to solve problems of efficiency and reliability of professional activity), socio-cultural (a system of relations to socially significant goals), professional and personal (the level of professional compliance of a labor protection specialist, his need for continuous improvement of knowledge, their application in professional activities).
The listed components are closely interconnected: the cognitive-evaluative component encourages the renewal of special knowledge, skills, and the ability to make decisions independently. Motivational-value develops a conscious impulse to master special knowledge, the ability to solve production problems using non-standard methods.
The socio-cultural component includes moral norms of behavior (honesty, decency, criticality, purposefulness, individuality, creativity). Professional-personal expresses the degree of education of a specialist, his need for constant updating of knowledge.
The generalized competencies in the considered model of a labor protection specialist are:
1. Achievement Orientation (measures performance, improves results, sets challenging goals, innovates).
2. Influencing and influencing (uses direct persuasion, facts and figures, demonstrates concern for professional reputation).
3. Conceptual thinking (recognizes key actions, hidden problems, creates links and models).
4. Analytical thinking (anticipates obstacles, systematically breaks down problems into their component parts, draws logical conclusions, sees consequences, hidden meaning).
5. Initiative (insists on solving problems, addresses problems before being asked to).
6. Self-confidence (expresses confidence in one's own judgments, seeks difficulty and independence).
7. Interpersonal understanding (understands relationships, interests, needs of others).
8. Care about order (strives for clarity of roles and information; checks the quality of work or information, keeps records).
9. Search for information (contacts with many different sources, reads magazines, etc.).
10. Teamwork and collaboration (team discussion, seeking everyone's input).
11. Expertise (expands and uses technical knowledge; enjoys technical work; shares professional knowledge).

findings

In conclusion, it should be noted that for the current level of development of industrial and social technologies, it is not enough just to have a high level of compliance with safety regulations, since there is a need not only for knowledge, skills and abilities to ensure life safety, but also for the safe implementation of any type of activity, understanding of goals and the consequences of their actions for society and the natural environment, the formation of the necessary competencies in future specialists, a special type of culture that takes into account the specifics of human activity in the conditions of reaching the limits of growth, a culture of life safety. The optimal solution to this issue is to build a competency model for a labor protection specialist, which allows you to determine the professional and personal qualities necessary for successful professional activity.

An engineer for safety, labor protection and regulation is one of the key specialists of the enterprise. He is responsible for compliance with the rules of the organization of the work process, ensures the preservation of the life and health of employees. Professionals who have received a specialized education do everything possible to eliminate the likelihood of accidents at work and reduce the risk of slowing down work at the facility. Special requirements are put forward for the qualification of occupational safety engineers, because these people instruct workers who come into contact with dangerous devices and perform technically complex tasks.

Requirements and wishes for specialists

The position of an occupational health and safety engineer in an enterprise can only be occupied by a person with the appropriate knowledge and skills. He must have a higher technical education, work experience in the profile obtained under the guidance of more qualified specialists is welcome. Depending on the level of qualification, an employee is assigned one of three categories.

Requirements for an occupational safety engineer:

The labor rationing engineer must comply with the same provisions, but a number of additional requirements are additionally imposed on him. Firstly, this is a clear understanding of the nuances of a particular production, the ability to assess their impact on the system of employee benefits. Secondly, orientation in the system of organization of the labor process and personnel management. The education of such a person includes basic knowledge of psychology, sociology and human physiology.

In terms of personal qualities of a specialist applying for a narrowly focused position, the basic characteristic requires stress resistance, calmness and sociability. This should be a person who is not afraid to take responsibility for the well-being of others. Career guidance will help determine the exact chances of success in a specific area. She will reveal a predisposition to this type of work or point out qualities that may interfere with professional growth.

What does an employee in the field of labor protection

A staff engineer for labor rationing or the protection of work processes must perform the functions prescribed in the instructions. Usually this is a standard list of provisions, which can be supplemented in accordance with the specifics of a particular area. In any case, the actions of a professional will be aimed at respecting the interests of the company's employees and maintaining production processes up to the mark.

Basic responsibilities of an occupational safety engineer:
