The aim of the study is to validate a novel methodology for assessing the risk of manmade emergencies at chemically hazardous sites (CHSs) of a phosphorus fertilizer manufacturing enterprise.Two independent indices were used to assess the state of the occupational health and safety management system: accident risk levels and occupational injury rates.The assessment of accident risk is based on expert evaluation, while the assessment of occupational injury risk is based on statistical methods.It was established that at the CHSs under study, the main parameters determining accident risk are technological and auxiliary equipment, the corrosive activity of the chemically hazardous substances used, and the lack of effective methods for identifying, assessing, and controlling the hazards of technological processes.Fatal accidents occurring in various departments indicate a critical level of occupational injury risk at the enterprise.The application of the methodology used in the article in the practice of occupational safety specialists at enterprises with a CHS and supervisory organizations in the field of industrial safety and emergency situations will allow monitoring the functioning of the enterprise's occupational safety management system and evaluating the effectiveness of corrective measures.
