Abstract: The article is devoted to the study of the problem of accounting for the psychophysiological factors of working personnel at hazardous production facilities (HPF). The creation of preventive measures to ensure fire and industrial safety is a priority for the effective development of the oil and gas industry. During their work at HPF, personnel are exposed to various types of hazards and the issue of ensuring workplace safety is one of the key ones. In addition, the development of measures to prevent abnormal situations and prevent their escalation into emergency and emergency situations at the HPF makes it possible to ensure effective management of the safety of production processes. Responding to abnormal and emergency situations requires special mobilization of human resources, which, accordingly, also requires consideration of psychological aspects in the «human – technical system – production environment» system. The article analyzes the current level of development of approaches in terms of describing the problems of personnel training for work at HPF in various industries. The aim of the work is to study and present the problems of preventing the occurrence of emergency situations at the HPF and preventing their escalation into emergency situations by taking into account the psychophysiological factors of the facilities' employees. To conduct research on this topic, a theoretical analysis of regulatory legal acts was carried out, as well as scientific work in the field of industrial safety and occupational risk assessment. Based on these data, it has been established that the topic of accounting for the functional state of the HPF of the oil and gas complex is insufficiently studied. In addition, studies have not been conducted with the participation of the working staff who perform the bulk of the work in production. This topic is especially relevant for geographically remote facilities, in case of accidents where rapid response of rescue services of settlements is impossible. Based on the analysis, the need for a detailed study of the topic of the system of accounting for psychophysiological factors with the participation of working personnel at remote HPF has been identified.
