Abstract: Analysis of various research results on the human factor impact on the work accidents shows that up to 95% of incidents result from low personnel competence. Basically, it is proposed to solve this problem by improving the personnel competence through better training of employees in safe methods and techniques of work execution in training organizations and directly at work. The article describes a new expanded model of employee competence based on four main components of competence: intel-lectual, sensory, protective and physical. The model connects the employee's competence with the classes of working conditions and helps, based on the analysis of hazards specific to the working conditions, to deliberately create the required added competence necessary for safe execution of work, including such execution through technical means. The article presents the conceptual basis for the numerical evaluation of the human factor and shows examples of practical application of the proposed model.
