One of the most important stages of designing sections of low-current systems is the creation of a system of cable routes for laying cables connected to devices. Often, the development of this stage on a 2D plan without the use of three-dimensional modeling does not provide the necessary detail and informativeness, especially on sections of turns, descents, ascents, junctions and ramifications of trails. However, the creation of a complex 3D model of cable-carrying systems allows the engineer to fully work through all sections and thereby avoid further errors and inconsistencies during installation and calculation of cable structures. For the design of cable routes of any complexity in a 3D model, the Model Studio CS OPS software product offers the functionality discussed in this article.

For an effective enterprise, safety at work, the life and health of employees should be in the first place. Occupational injuries can be studied from different sides — moral (impact on the employee's condition), social (impact on the team), resource (impact on human and technological potential), economic (impact on competitiveness and efficiency). Each component is of great importance and for further adaptation to the challenges of a market economy, it is important that metallurgical companies effectively cope with safety management at work. In Russia in 2021, the share of metallurgical and processing enterprises accounts for 25.6% [1] of insurance cases related to injuries. Safe production is one of the most important strategic tasks facing the metallurgical industry. The article discusses modern approaches in the field of occupational injury management, provides practical results of the application of risk management principles at metallurgical enterprises, and also assesses their effectiveness.
