The analysis of the accident and industrial injury statistics shows that the majority of accidents and industrial accidents (more than 70%) are caused by the mistakes of the operational personnel servicing the hazardous production facilities connected with violation of requirements of the organization and production of hazardous works. One of the priority directions of the state policy of the Russian Federation in the field of industrial safety till 2025 is the development of industrial safety culture, awareness of personal responsibility for a condition of industrial safety, formation of the intolerant relation to violations of safety requirements, in particular, due to implementation of scientific and technical achievements and the best practices. This study proposed a new approach to ensuring safety on objects of fuel and energy complex establishing rules of conducting the behavioral safety audit (BSA), assessment of identified hazardous actions and use of preventive measures. Within approbation of this new approach to safety ensuring we have made the procedure of mathematical processing of results of 264 conducted BSA on one of gas transmission companies. Implementation of approach boosts safety culture of production, prevention of the industrial accidents and accidents caused by unsafe behaviour and actions of workers.
