Staff training based on work experience and professional level cognitive control to ensure occupational safety

The article presents a model of employee behavior based on a cognitivepsychological approach and an analysis of occupational injuries using the example of an agricultural organization. The article considers a system for training workers in the field of occupational safety and health using effective practiceoriented trainings aimed at developing staff skills in the face of potential and realized hazards at the stages of transportation, reception, cleaning, drying and shipment of oilseeds (sunflower, soybeans). The developed model goes beyond traditional approaches, taking into account not only objective risk factors, but also cognitive distortions that affect decisionmaking in conditions of danger. The study divides professional activity into three stages, each of which is characterized by special risk profiles: the initial stage, marked by a high level of risk due to lack of experience and a tendency to overestimate one's own abilities; the middle stage, in which the risk level gradually decreases due to the accumulation of professional experience and the final stage, when the risk increases due to selfconfidence in competencies, a decrease in the level of concentration of attention and professional burnout. The study uses a methodology for comparing employees' selfassessments and objective data obtained during professional trainings, which made it possible to identify the Dunning-Kruger effect among young professionals. For employees with 20 to 27 years of work experience, the accuracy of selfassessment was found, but the high risk of injury is explained by the influence of psychological factors. A fivefactor risk assessment matrix is proposed that takes into account both psychological aspects and the level of involvement in occupational safety programs. The results obtained emphasize the importance of developing and implementing more differentiated approaches to professional risk management, which should take into account the cognitive and psychological characteristics of employees at various stages of their career path.
