Methods and technologies for practical competencies development in the field of industrial safety

In modern society, the final assessment of the result of the educational process is made by the employer, whose requests are focused primarily on professional qualities, which are based on the ability of a university graduate to make independent decisions in emerging industrial situations. Unfortunately, most of the existing content and technologies of training do not develop these qualities among students. In certain special areas of specialists training, the competencies developed in the educational institution do not allow the graduate to perform their official duties in the workplace in full. Unfortunately, such areas include the training of specialists in the field of industrial safety. Among the reasons for this situation is the creation of the education content without taking into account the requirements of regulatory legal documents in the field of industrial safety, the insufficient practical component of the educational process and the use of training technologies that do not allow to develop the required competencies. As a result, graduates who come to production still need a considerable amount of time to develop all the necessary competencies. Moreover, the resources of the enterprise, the actual working time of the specialist and other personnel are already spent on making up for these knowledge and skills not acquired at the university. In a situation of shortage of personnel, the presence of untrained specialists at a dangerous production facility increases the risk of accidents and incidents, with various social and economic consequences for society.
