RISK MANAGEMENT IN REQUIREMENTS OF THE ISO STANDARDS IN RELATION TO LOGGING ROADS

Statement of the problem. The article considers the scientific bases for developing a system of assessing and standardizing risks in the construction and operation of logging roads within the framework of developing the existing logging road network in the Russian Federation. Regulatory documents in the sphere of managing and assessing technological and parametric risks are analyzed. Results. The principles of standardizing the acceptable level of hazard are considered and approaches by different scientists and regulatory documents to risk calculation in the requirements on technical regulation are compared. A new approach is developed to standardize the acceptable quality parameters which nobody has ever used to assess parametric risks in relation to logging roads. Conclusions. A scientifically based technology is proposed to calculate the acceptable risk level of a new or of an operating logging road and ways to compensate for residual risks. Ways are suggested of adequate risk reduction in assessing safety of the logging road design conditions with account of the probability of logging truck losing its stability. We are trying to improve the existing system of developing construction and reconstruction projects for existing logging roads thorough their conformity to international risk assessment requirements. That is why our conclusions include one on the front-end use of world-famous geographic information systems which are still scarcely used in domestic practice, particularly for logging roads. They will be instrumental in keeping track of different factors that could entail an increase in risks not considered in projects.
