Great news for occupational safety specialists - the issuance of some flushing agents to employees will not be subject to signature. The changes will affect the dispensing of soap or liquid detergents, including for washing hands and bodies, when working with easily washable contaminants.

The order of the Ministry of Labor has already been approved and will come into force 6 months after official publication - June 12, 2018. As we can see, the Ministry of Labor has fulfilled one of the points in the action plan for the abolition and updating of mandatory requirements in the field of compliance with labor legislation and other regulations containing labor law standards.

Amendments are being made to Appendix No. 2 to the order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated December 17, 2010 N 1122n “On approval of standard standards for the free issuance of flushing and (or) disinfectants to workers and the labor safety standard “Providing workers with flushing and (or) disinfectants” neutralizing agents" - in clause 9 and clause 24 of the labor safety standard.

In the current version, paragraph 9 reads as follows: “The standards for issuing flushing and (or) neutralizing agents that correspond to the working conditions at the employee’s workplace are specified in the employee’s employment contract.”

From June 12, 2018, the wording will be as follows: “The standards for issuing flushing and (or) neutralizing agents that correspond to the working conditions at the employee’s workplace are specified in the employee’s employment contract or in a local regulatory act of the employer, are brought to the attention of the employee in written or electronic form in a way that allows confirming the employee’s familiarity with these standards».

Clause 24 regulates the procedure for organizing accounting and control over the issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents to employees, and also establishes the timing of their use and the procedure for issuing. The third paragraph of this paragraph, which reads: “The issuance of flushing and (or) neutralizing agents to employees must be recorded against signature in a personal record card for the issuance of flushing and (or) neutralizing agents, a sample of which is provided in the appendix to the Standard,” has been changed. After the words “Issuing flushing and (or) neutralizing agents to employees” added "except for the means specified in paragraph 7 of the Model Rules". Clause 7 of the Model Standards, provided for in Appendix No. 1, specifically includes cleaning products for easily washed off contaminants of the hands and body (soap or liquid detergents).

By the way, labor protection specialists quite often have a question: what is meant by “easily washable contaminants” and workers of what professions and positions encounter them?

The very definition of the term “easily washable pollution” is absent in any legal regulations. However, in the explanations of the departments there is an interpretation of this concept. For example, the Department of Labor Conditions and Safety in letter of the Ministry of Labor dated June 23, 2016 No. 15-2/B-2039 “On the procedure for issuing flushing and (or) neutralizing agents to employees” classified as easily washable contaminants such contaminants in which the use of soap or liquid detergents are sufficient to cleanse the employee’s skin and hair from contamination during work. Employees who operate personal computers and desktop copying equipment (“office” workers) can be excluded from the issuance standards.

Also, to determine the list of professions subject to the issuance of funds, labor protection specialists can use the "Recommendations on the use of flushing and neutralizing agents for workers in the main professions of structural divisions of JSC Russian Railways", Appendix No. 2 of which provides an approximate list of professions with recommended flushing and neutralizing agents .

The introduced amendments will eliminate disputes regarding the issue of accounting and distribution of detergents that are located directly in sanitary premises. However, the issuance of solid soap and liquid detergents to remove stubborn stains, as well as the other 8 types of washing and neutralizing agents, will be subject to signature.

To minimize the impact of harmful substances on the worker’s skin during the production process, it must be protected with the help of personal protective equipment. In this article we will talk about the standards for issuing flushing and neutralizing agents by profession in 2019.

From this article you will learn:

Flushing and neutralizing agents for workers - list

A complete list of used types of DSPE (dermatological personal protective equipment) and the standards for their issuance are contained in Order of the Ministry of Health No. 1122n dated December 17, 2010.

Issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents by profession - standard

Find the sample labor protection document you need in the Occupational Safety and Health Help System. Experts have already compiled 2506 templates!

The most effective in practice is the combined use of protective, regenerating and cleansing drugs. Of course, we are only talking about using certified products with an unexpired shelf life. In this way, maximum prevention of the negative effects of harmful substances on the skin is achieved.

Washing agents

For employees engaged in one-time work with substances that are difficult to wash off or at non-standard temperatures, and for those who work part-time, PPE standards are determined based on the real-time influence of the hazardous factor.

3. Drawing up an order for the issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents.

Distribution of soap for labor protection

The employer independently, based on the results of the SOUT, compiles a list of persons receiving personal protective equipment.

However (liquid or toilet) must be used by all employees. This is a basic hygiene requirement.

But this requirement is not specifically stated anywhere in the legislation, and the letter of Rostrud No. 15-2/OOG-1752 dated May 6, 2016 confirmed that there is no need for personnel engaged in office work (such as accounting work, for example).

At the same time, do not forget about fines for the lack of personal protective equipment (part 3 of article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

They amount to quite large amounts: individual entrepreneurs without the formation of a legal entity will pay a fine from 5 to 10,000 rubles. Officials will be punished in the amount of 10 to 20,000 rubles. The fine for organizations is even more serious: from 50 to 100,000 rubles.

Soap cannot be replaced with aggressive and abrasive cleaners (soda, cleaning powder, solvents, etc.)

According to the results of a special assessment of working conditions in a dental clinic, working conditions are optimal and acceptable. There are no recommendations or proposals for improving working conditions, and there is no list of workers who are entitled to receive soap. But as I understand it, we still provide soap, as in case of light contamination, by having a dispenser with liquid soap in the sanitary premises to all available employees, in order to avoid difficulties with inspection? Please clarify some questions: 1. The enterprise must have: - a list of jobs; - a list of employees; - an entry in the employment contract about the norms of issuance; - personal flush card. funds; - instructions for use flush. funds Is it still necessary to develop a regulation on providing workers with flushing and (or) neutralizing means, along with standard standards and a personal issue card as a sample and as an appendix to the labor regulations? 2. Is an order necessary to develop all these documents and appoint a responsible person? 3. The list of jobs and the list of employees need to be approved by order and issued as an appendix to the orders?

Workers are given funds based on a list of workplaces and a list of workers who need to be provided with flushing and disinfecting agents. It is drawn up by a labor protection specialist or an employee performing his duties, and approved by the employer.

The distribution of soap to employees must be recorded against signature on a personal record card for the distribution of cleaning agents and disinfectants. A record card for the issue of soap is not kept if the employer does not issue soap directly to the employee, but ensures the availability of soap in sanitary premises.

Based on the approved standards for issuing soap to employees, the employer should prepare additional agreements to their employment contracts.

Draw up an order for the development of documents and the appointment of a responsible person.

Rationale

How to provide workers with flushing and neutralizing agents

The main thing in the article

1. Washing and neutralizing agents are issued according to the standards of the Russian Ministry of Health and Social Development. But farming can increase them
2. Funds issued to employees must be reflected in the personal account card
3. Inspectors require even soap for office toilets to be recorded on personal cards.
4. If you do not approve the list of employees who need funds or do not issue cards, the company faces a fine

Who should use flushing and neutralizing agents?

The facility is required to provide employees with cleaning and disinfection products. They are due to those who are busy at work:

– harmful or dangerous;

– with special temperature conditions;

– associated with pollution.

Is it possible to change the standards?

So, flushing and neutralizing agents are issued according to the standards. However, if the trade union asks to increase them, the farm has the right to do so. Specify specific issuance standards in the employment contract with the employee (Part 2 of Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Or draw up an additional agreement.

On a note

Is it necessary to stipulate in employment contracts with office staff that they are given soap?

Labor inspectors require this. In their opinion, contracts with office employees should indicate that they are provided with toilet or liquid soap. However, there is no such rule in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In addition, the office personnel are not engaged in hazardous or dirty work. Soap is used only in toilets. The company buys soap to ensure normal sanitary conditions. But if you don’t want unnecessary disputes with inspectors, make a note in the contract with the employee.

What are the means

Include standards for soap distribution in employment contracts

- Why should the soap distribution rate be specified in the employment contract?
- Who gets how much soap?
- What documents should I fill out if soap is not mentioned anywhere?

Recently, representatives of labor inspectorates have recognized the absence of standards for the provision of soap in employment contracts with employees as a violation. This is evidenced, in particular:

• - decision of the Perm Regional Court dated April 15, 2015 in case No. 7-489-2015; 21-288-2015;
• - Appeal ruling of the Chelyabinsk Regional Court dated April 28, 2014 in case No. 11-3793/2014.

Labor inspectors can issue an order to the company and give it a deadline to eliminate it, or they can fine it.

SEVERE PUNISHMENT

From January 1, 2015, labor inspectors can bring a company to administrative liability in the form of a fine for improper execution of an employment contract with an employee (Part 3 of Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). The fine is:

• - from 10,000 to 20,000 rubles. - for officials;
• - from 5,000 to 10,000 rubles. - for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity;
• - from 50,000 to 100,000 rubles. - for legal entities.

Company HR specialists became worried. Is it necessary to issue soap to an accountant or secretary and to prescribe the norms for issuing soap in their employment contracts? How to make amendments to employment contracts with employees?

Before answering these questions, let’s analyze the arguments of labor inspectors: what they refer to and what arguments they give when demanding that the employer include standards for the distribution of soap in employment contracts.

ARGUMENTS OF LABOR INSPECTORS

Labor inspectorate specialists argue this way.

The list of mandatory conditions of an employment contract is open (Part 2 of Article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The Labor Code obliges employers to include so-called other conditions in the employment contract in cases provided for by labor legislation and other regulatory legal acts containing labor law norms (paragraph 11, part 2, article 57 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).

The fact that the standards for issuing flushing agents must be specified in the employment contract is stated in paragraph 9 of the Labor Safety Standard “Providing workers with flushing and (or) neutralizing agents” (hereinafter referred to as the Standard). It is given in Appendix No. 2 to Order No. 1122n of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 17, 2010 (hereinafter referred to as Order No. 1122n).

The standard applies to employers - legal entities and individuals, regardless of their organizational and legal forms and forms of ownership (clause 2 of the Standard).

TABLE WITH STANDARDS OF WASHING AGENTS

Standard norms for the free distribution of flushing or neutralizing agents to employees (hereinafter referred to as standard norms) are given in Appendix No. 1 to Order No. 1122n.

Section II of the model standards states:

• - types of rinsing or disinfecting agents;
• - names of works and production factors;
• - distribution rates per person per month.

A fragment of standard standards for the issuance of cleaning products is given in the table below.

TABLE TYPICAL STANDARDS FOR FREE ISSUANCE OF WASHING AND (OR) DISCONTINUING PRODUCTS TO WORKERS (FRAGMENT)

SAMPLE 2 ORDER ON APPROVAL OF THE STANDARDS FOR THE FREE ISSUANCE OF WASHING OUT AND DISCONTINUING AGENTS TO WORKERS

Soap card

The employer is required to keep records and control over the issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents to employees (sample 3).

SAMPLE 3 PERSONAL CARD FOR ACCOUNTING THE ISSUANCE OF WASHING AND DISHARMING AGENTS

The issuance of soap to employees must be recorded against signature on a personal record card for the issuance of cleaning agents and disinfectants (clause 24 of the Standard).

The card form is given in the appendix to order No. 1122n.

A record card for the issue of soap is not kept if the employer does not issue soap directly to the employee, but ensures the availability of soap in sanitary premises.

But in all cases, the employer is responsible for the timely and full provision of flushing and neutralizing agents to employees (clause 26 of the Standard).

An entry in the employment contract regarding the standard for issuing soap

If employment contracts with employees do not specify the standard for dispensing soap, this needs to be corrected.

Based on the approved standards for issuing soap to employees, the employer should prepare additional agreements to their employment contracts (sample 4).

SAMPLE 4 ADDITIONAL AGREEMENT TO AN EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT (FRAGMENT)

FEATURES OF SOAP DISCHARGE

For work involving easily washed-off contaminants, the employer may not provide flushing agents directly to the employee. Its task is to ensure the constant availability of soap or liquid detergents in sanitary premises (clause 20 of the Standard).

In sanitary premises, the employer can install dosing systems for liquid flushing or neutralizing agents. And replenish or replace containers as they are used up (clause 23 of the Standard).

Note: If an employee is employed in work involving stubborn or persistent stains, in addition to toilet or liquid soap, employees must be given cleansing creams, gels and pastes (clause 21 of the Standard).

Flushing and neutralizing PPE: how to issue and account for it

Key issues

• What cleaning and disinfecting agents should be given to employees?
• How to issue personal protective equipment?
• How to account for and control the issuance of personal protective equipment?

What flushing and neutralizing agents should be given to workers?

Legal basis

You will find the most necessary regulations on this topic.

We have already told you how to choose the right washing and neutralizing agents earlier. Now let's figure out how to issue them and take them into account.

Workers are issued dermatological personal protective equipment (hereinafter referred to as PPE) based on the list of workplaces (hereinafter referred to as the List) and the list of workers who need to be provided with flushing and disinfecting agents. It is drawn up by a labor protection specialist or an employee performing his duties, and approved by the employer, taking into account the opinion of the trade union. An order for approval of the List and list of employees may look like this:

download and print sample

If the employer does not have the results of a special assessment of working conditions, then the List is formed on the basis of standard standards approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 17, 2010 No. 1122n, taking into account the opinion of the trade union. If a special assessment has been carried out, then the personal protective equipment is issued based on its results.

Warns

Elena GURIEVA,

Deputy Head of the Personnel Department of Stoliya Group of Companies LLC (Volgograd)

The cost of flushing and neutralizing agents, which are issued according to established standards, is not subject to insurance premiums and is not recognized as employee income. Therefore, it is not subject to personal income tax (NDFL). If flushing and neutralizing agents are issued to an employee in excess of the norm, then their cost is subject to insurance premiums and personal income tax in the general manner.

To prevent occupational skin diseases, the comprehensive use of protective, cleansing and regenerating protective equipment is recommended. They can be combined in different ways. Moreover, the main hygienic requirement of PPE is the ability to prevent the effects of harmful substances on the upper layers of the skin. Therefore, first of all, it is necessary to provide workers with protective equipment, and in the presence of difficult-to-wash-off contaminants, additionally issue skin cleansers. Recommended typical combinations of DSIS are presented in the table.

Table. Combinations of personal protective equipment under the influence of various production factors

For work involving easily washed-off contaminants, the employer may not provide detergents directly to each employee, but rather ensure that soap and liquid detergent dispensers are always available in the sanitary premises.

How to issue personal protective equipment

For the use of personal protective equipment to be effective, workers need to be trained in the rules of their use as part of occupational safety training. In this case, it is necessary to take into account the purpose of the product and the recommendations on the packaging.

DSPE packaged in packages with a capacity of more than 250 ml is issued using dosing systems(dispensers), which must be assigned to certain work areas (locations). Dispensers should be replenished as liquid products are used up. And the employee appointed by order (instruction) for the enterprise or division is obliged to monitor this.

The dispenser allows you to accurately dose the product, which is economically beneficial for large workshops and areas. Its use eliminates the possibility of product contact with harmful production factors and the external environment. For each DSPE, a separate dispenser is used, which is marked with the type of product, method of use, and expiration date. For example: “Protective cream. Use before starting work", "Cleansing paste. Use after work", "Regenerating cream. Use on clean and dry hands after work.”

DSPE, packaged in tubes with a capacity of up to 250 ml, it is recommended to dispense:

• for individual use by workers of non-stationary workplaces, small areas;
• if control over the use of dispensers is impossible;
• for the use of regenerating and nourishing creams.

During one-time work involving difficult-to-wash-off contaminants or performed in unfavorable temperature conditions, as well as in part-time working conditions, workers are provided with personal protective equipment depending on the actual time of contact with harmful factors.

How to account for and control the issuance of personal protective equipment

The employer is obliged to organize proper records of personal protective equipment and monitor that they are issued to employees on time. The terms of use of flushing and neutralizing agents are calculated from the date of their actual distribution to employees and should not exceed the shelf life of the products.

The issuance of personal protective equipment to employees, both in individual packages and in containers for dosing systems, must be recorded against signature in a personal record card for the issuance of flushing and (or) neutralizing agents.

Article on the topic

You will find a personal record card for the issuance of flushing and (or) neutralizing agents in the article “Is it possible to issue more PPE than required? "(No. 5, 2014)

To issue liquid PPE to workers in dosing systems, a financially responsible person, for example, a foreman or foreman, is appointed. He receives the required personal protective equipment for employees and controls the consumption, replenishment and replacement of containers in dispensers as the specified funds are spent. Together with the personal protective equipment, the responsible person must be given personal employee cards against signature, in which the necessary notes are made and the employees sign for the personal personal protective equipment received.

Personal protective equipment that the employee has not used at the end of the reporting period can be used in the next period, provided that it has not expired and is properly stored.

Remember the main thing

1 Workers are issued personal protective equipment based on the List of Workplaces and the list of workers who need to be provided with flushing and disinfecting agents.

3For work involving easily washable contaminants, the employer may not provide detergents directly to each employee, but rather ensure the constant availability of soap and dispensers with liquid detergent in the sanitary premises.

4In casual jobs, as well as in part-time work, workers are provided with personal protective equipment depending on the actual time of contact with harmful factors.

5The issuance of personal protective equipment must be recorded in a personal record card for the issuance of flushing and (or) neutralizing agents.

The organization distributes soap to employees by placing it in dispensers in restrooms. In this case, is it necessary to create a personal record card for the issuance of flushing and or neutralizing agents and collect signatures from employees?

Answer

Answer to the question:

Employers must purchase and issue at their own expense individual protection means , as well as flushing and neutralizing agents for employees performing work:

• with harmful or dangerous working conditions;
• pollution related.

This is provided for in paragraph 7 of part 2 of article 212 and part 1 of article 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

According to Order No. 1122n, when working with easily washable contaminants, the following is issued:

7 │Soap or liquid │Work related to easily washed off │ │

│ │detergents │contaminants │ │

│ │including: │ │ │

│ │ for hand washing │ │ 200 g (soap │

│ │ │ │toilet) or│

│ │ │ │250 ml (liquid│

│ │ │ │ detergents │

│ │ │ │ funds in │

│ │ │ │ dosing │

│ │ │ │ devices) │

│ │ │ │ 300 g (soap │

│ │ for body wash │ │ toiletry) │

│ │ │ │ or 500 ml │

│ │ │ │(liquid detergents│

│ │ │ │ funds in │

│ │ │ │ dosing │

│ │ │ │ devices) │

But this is only what concerns PPE.

Let us additionally note that in accordance with the provisions of Art. 163 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged to provide normal conditions for employees to meet production standards. Such conditions, in particular, include working conditions that meet labor protection and production safety requirements.

The concept of working conditions is established by the provisions of Art. 209 Labor Code of the Russian Federation. Thus, working conditions should be understood as a set of factors in the working environment and the labor process that influence the performance and health of the employee.

Also in accordance with the provisions of Art. 22 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged, in particular, provide for the everyday needs of employees related to the performance of their job duties. According to Art. 223 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is responsible for providing sanitary, medical and preventive services to employees of organizations in accordance with labor protection requirements.

Thus, the employer in this case is not obliged to issue soap (and record the issuance norms in employment contracts, as well as register them in a personal card) within the framework of Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated December 17, 2010 N 1122n and based on the results of a special assessment, but within the framework of providing household services the needs of their employees (including office workers), the necessary supplies must be available (including soap, toilet paper).

This condition can be fixed separately in the collective agreement of the organization.

Details in the materials of the Personnel System:

1. Situation:Is it necessary to indicate in employment contracts with employees the norms for the issuance of flushing or neutralizing agents (about “soap”)?

Yes, it is necessary, but only in the employment contracts of employees engaged in the relevant types of work.

Employers must purchase and issue at their own expense, as well as flushing and neutralizing agents to employees performing work:

At the same time, in work involving easily washed-off contaminants, the employer has the right not to directly issue flushing agents to the employee, but to ensure the constant availability of soap or dispensers with liquid flushing agent in the sanitary premises (Occupational Safety Standard, approved). This means that the standards for issuing detergents do not have to be specified in the employment contract of such an employee. However, failure to specify the standard for dispensing detergents in the employment contract may lead to certain problems for the employer, since:

• the concept of “work involving easily washed off contaminants” is not enshrined in law;
• • with harmful or dangerous working conditions;
  • in special temperature conditions;
  • associated with pollution.
• the concept of “work related to easily washed off contaminants” is not enshrined in law;
• the employer must organize proper accounting and control over the issuance of flushing and neutralizing agents to employees and record their issuance in (Occupational Safety Standard, approved).

In other words, the employer must limit the list of employees to whom free flushing agents are provided. And when detergents are placed in public sanitary premises, the meaning of such a restriction is lost.

Thus, the standards for issuing flushing agents must be indicated in the HR officer’s Ready-made Plan of Main Affairs for the first quarter of 2019
