Occupational safety is the most important area of ​​activity for the management of all organizations and companies. The employer must take the necessary measures to ensure the safety of work processes and familiarize staff with the rules of conduct at the enterprise (including drawing up and signing an agreement on labor protection).

Accordingly, organizational measures are taken by the employer. This includes personnel training, equipping workers with protective elements and much more. Meanwhile, employees also have a duty of care. This need is expressed in the precise and uniform implementation of all rules established by laws and local documents.

Basic responsibilities for worker safety

The responsibilities of workers to comply with labor protection requirements are enshrined in the target legislative act - the law on the fundamentals of labor protection. Its provisions directly indicate the need for personnel to comply with safety requirements.

That is, the employer must create conditions for safe activities, and employees must use them and follow all established rules.

Among the requirements listed in the law, several key provisions should be highlighted:

• Personnel are required to comply with the provisions of all departmental acts. These are instructions, rules, and so on. In this case, the key to execution is the familiarization of personnel with existing or newly adopted acts. Otherwise, it is impossible to demand their execution;
• They must know the specifics of using elements of personal and collective protection. Again, the employer must take steps to train employees in the use of such elements and record the results of the training;
• If an employee discovers that there are threats to production safety, there is a possibility of injury to personnel, he is obliged to immediately inform his immediate management about this.

Thus, employees are full subjects of work safety activities. All standards developed by the organization must be brought to the attention of personnel against signature. Then, if violations are detected, the employee may be subject to disciplinary action.

Job responsibilities for worker safety

Taking measures to protect the labor safety of personnel is the responsibility of the employer. This is a key provision of the law and the Labor Code. In turn, the employer develops a set of security measures, creates personnel protection systems and appoints responsible officials.

The structure of responsible persons is not limited to the head of the organization. In addition to him, it includes a safety engineer, immediate supervisors of work and lower-level managers - shop foremen, foremen and other persons.

Their immediate tasks are reflected in job descriptions. Each instruction of such an employee contains standards for ensuring work safety and eliminating accidents.

These are the direct job responsibilities of department heads and other responsible persons. They are obliged to take measures to train personnel, check compliance with safety standards at the beginning and completion of work, and monitor the condition of equipment and technical means.

Assigning the responsibilities of a labor protection specialist to an employee

Who in the organization should distribute responsibilities and powers for labor protection among employees?

This largely depends on the structure of the organization. The employer may reserve the right to comply with the requirements of the instructions and incur liability. However, in any case, he entrusts the implementation of events to other employees. As a rule, these are a special engineer and heads of individual sections of the enterprise or heads of structural divisions of the organization.

But in any case, the decision to assign responsibilities for monitoring compliance with the requirements of the instructions is made only by the employer. The transfer of functions for ensuring safety and compliance with instructions occurs on the basis of an order.

What documents define the employee’s labor protection responsibilities?

The list of these documents depends on the specific employer and the specifics of the organization’s activities.

The law provides for the following types of documents related to the fulfillment of the requirements of the instructions and the assignment of responsibility for safety:

• Orders. These are governing documents that assign such functions and determine responsible employees;
• Agreement. Such agreements may include the assignment of security responsibilities.

In addition to these documents, instructions are developed, journals are created, and the persons appointed responsible for fulfilling the requirements carry out ongoing monitoring.

Sample order on assigning labor protection responsibilities to an employee

Such an order is issued by the manager in relation to a specific employee. They assign responsibilities for compliance. Accordingly, responsibility is assigned for the execution of the instructions.

The responsibilities of an employee in the field of labor protection are set out in article 214 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

Compliance by an employee with labor protection requirements is one of the main guarantees that an accident will not occur to the employee, since the human factor in labor protection, his attitude towards labor protection, his own safety and the safety of those working next to him is dominant. The basic requirements for the employee to comply with labor protection requirements are specified in the employment contract.

The employee is obliged:

comply with labor protection requirements, established by laws and other regulatory legal acts, as well as rules and instructions on labor protection. The relevant rules oblige workers to comply with labor safety instructions that establish the rules for performing work and behavior in production premises and on construction sites. Workers are also required to comply with the established requirements for handling machines and mechanisms, and use the personal protective equipment issued to them;

correctly use personal and collective protective equipment. Personal and collective protective equipment is used to prevent or reduce the impact of harmful and dangerous production factors on workers. Thus, according to statistics, every eighth industrial accident occurring in the Russian Federation is associated with the lack or incorrect use of special clothing, special shoes or other personal protective equipment. Providing personal protective equipment at the expense of the employer is an inalienable right of the employee and the obligation of the employer in accordance with current legislation;

undergo training in safe methods and techniques for performing work and providing first aid to victims at work, instruction in labor protection, on-the-job training, testing of knowledge of labor protection requirements. Occupational safety training is an essential element in the prevention of occupational injuries and diseases. Technical solutions to ensure occupational safety will be insufficient if workers do not comply with them due to a lack of knowledge on labor protection or incorrect execution of technological operations;

immediately notify your immediate or superior manager about any situation that threatens the life and health of people, about every accident that occurs at work, or about a deterioration in your health, including the manifestation of signs of an acute occupational disease (poisoning). Direct action norm;

undergo mandatory preliminary (upon employment) and periodic (during employment) medical examinations (examinations), as well as undergo extraordinary medical examinations (examinations) at the direction of the employer in cases provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation and other federal laws. Mandatory preliminary (upon entry to work) medical examinations of workers are carried out in order to determine the compliance of the health status of workers with the work assigned to them. Periodic (during work) medical examinations are carried out for the purpose of dynamic monitoring of the health status of workers under the influence of occupational hazards. According to Article 212 The Labor Code of the Russian Federation imposes on the employer the obligation to ensure that preliminary, periodic, and also extraordinary medical examinations (examinations) of employees are carried out at their own expense, while maintaining their place of work (position) and average earnings for the duration of these medical examinations.

According to this article, employees who have not passed mandatory medical examinations, as well as those with medical contraindications, are not allowed to work.

The Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation is allowed to send 20 percent of insurance premiums to implement occupational safety measures, including periodic medical examinations.

21. Committee (commission) on labor protection, its main tasks

According with article 218 Labor Code of the Russian Federation in organizations at the initiative of the employer and (or) at the initiative of employees or their representative body committees (commissions) on labor protection are created. Their composition on a parity basis includes representatives of the employer and representatives of the elected body of the primary trade union organization or other representative body of workers.

Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated May 29, 2006 No. 413 approved Model regulations on the labor protection committee (commission).

The Committee in its activities is guided by laws and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation, laws and other regulatory legal acts of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation on labor protection, general, regional, sectoral (inter-industry), territorial agreements, collective agreement (agreement on labor protection), local regulations legal acts of the organization.

The regulations on the organization's Committee are approved by order (instruction) of the employer, taking into account the opinion of the elected trade union body and (or) other representative body authorized by the employees of the organization.

The committee is responsible for the following main goals:

Working hours: length of the working week (5-day with two days off, provision of days off on a sliding schedule), duration of daily work, start and end times of work, time of breaks in work, number of shifts per day, alternation of working and non-working days (Article 100 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

List of positions for workers with irregular working hours (Article 101 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

The time for providing a break from work for rest and food and its specific duration. In cases where, due to production conditions, it is impossible to provide a break for rest and food, a list of jobs in which the employee is provided with the opportunity to rest and eat during working hours, as well as places for rest and food (Article 108 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

Types of work for which the employer must provide employees with special breaks for warming and rest, duration and procedure for providing such breaks (Article 109 Labor Code of the Russian Federation);

List of employee responsibilities in the field of labor protection

Let us consider in order the requirements presented in the above article, which relate to the main topic of our article.

Compliance with labor protection requirements

According to the Labor Code of Russia, the primary responsibility of each employee in the area of ​​interest to us is to follow the requirements set by labor protection.

State regulatory requirements in this area are presented in the Labor Code for all categories of employees:

• workers;
• managers, etc.

The implementation of the settings listed in the document allows you to maximally prevent the occurrence of various unforeseen situations in production. Of course, it will not be possible to completely eliminate them even if there is perfect discipline in the required area, but, nevertheless, the task of minimizing worker emergency situations is one of the highest priorities.

According to this Code, the scope of the requirements presented in it in the area under consideration is determined for each category differently. It varies depending on the type of work performed by a particular group of employees.

Representatives of the administrative structure of the organization are obliged to comply with:

• regulations relevant for each specific labor industry;
• norms of sanitary legislation;
• various other state-defined rules.

Those persons who are directly involved in the production process have the obligation to comply with the instructions of the given enterprise in the area of ​​labor protection that interests us. The required installations were initially developed according to the specifics of their professional activities.

Persons on the staff of the enterprise, in accordance with the Labor Code, are obliged to carry out constant work aimed at ensuring safe working conditions at work, so that the management staff has the opportunity to timely implement various measures aimed at reducing the number of accidents, in particular, industrial injuries .

Use of collective and individual safety equipment

The next responsibility of workers in the area we are considering is to operate specialized equipment aimed at ensuring individual as well as collective protection of employees, which must be carried out:

• Right;
• in a timely manner.

The required protective equipment means special devices, the purpose of which is to completely prevent or at least reduce the degree of exposure of workers to the following production factors:

• harmful to health;
• posing a danger to life.

Protective equipment for workers makes it possible to achieve safety for them during the implementation of the main activities at the enterprise, which is associated with the danger of damaging in any way:

• epithelium;
• eyeballs and mucous membranes;
• the head as a whole;
• respiratory tract and organs.

In addition, protective equipment also helps reduce the risk of working at height.

According to established rules, there are three categories of personal protective equipment.

1. First category involves workers wearing specialized protective clothing, which will be different in each individual case (depending on the working conditions).
2. Second group of funds- specialized shoes, also manufactured taking into account the needs of the production where the employees wearing them work.
3. Third category– individual and collective means of protection.

• hand accessories - special gloves, mittens, etc.;
• ammunition for the head and face - work helmets, shields made of durable material, helmets, etc.;
• devices in the form of glasses of various shapes that prevent damage to the organs of vision;
• in order to prevent damage to various types of respiratory organs, workers also undertake to wear protective equipment appropriate to the situation - for example, bandages made of cotton wool and gauze, gas masks, etc.;
• in production, where workers are constantly forced to be in conditions of increased noise, they receive protective equipment such as soundproof headphones, or, for example, earplugs;
• if work is carried out at high altitude, employees are protected by specialized equipment in the form of cables connected to belts that keep them from falling;
• To protect the skin, employees undertake to use various epithelial cleaners.

As for collective protection, it involves the use of specialized means by people who, when an emergency occurs, find themselves in the danger zone. These include the following devices:

• providing assistance in normalizing the air environment in the emergency zone;
• helping to restore lighting when indoors;
• protective devices aimed at preventing the dangerous effects of various negative production factors.

As stated in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, production employees do not have the right to gain access to perform their duties without receiving properly working PPE (personal protective equipment), as well as a specialized “suit”:

• clothes;
• shoes

When the employee receives the required protective equipment, he must simultaneously undergo training explaining how to correctly use the equipment given to him, as well as how to check the serviceability of each of them. In addition, practical training is required, during which employees are trained in the use of the received items.

The employee who has received the funds sought is also explained that his responsibilities include:

• their operation in accordance with established rules of use;
• use during work activities at the place of employment, that is, wearing elements of specialized uniforms directly throughout the entire work shift, if necessary;
• treat the received devices with care and use them for their intended purpose;
• if there is a need to carry out repair work aimed at restoring the protective functions of protective devices, the employee is obliged to notify the management of the organization;
• If protective equipment was used incorrectly after training, employees are obliged to undergo training again.

Training in safe work methods and first aid for victims

The next duty of an employee in the field of interest to us is to undergo training aimed at obtaining skills in:

• safe performance of work activities;
• providing first aid to persons injured at work.

The required training consists of three main stages:

• receiving instructions;
• further checking how the knowledge was acquired;
• then undergoes an internship directly at the place where the employee will carry out work activities.

The transfer of knowledge to representatives of the organization’s staff and the provision of briefings for them take place in the organization in accordance with the legally established GOST standards for safe work at the enterprise.

The procedure is carried out by a specially appointed employee with specialization in the field of labor protection, or a simple employee of the organization who has been assigned the required responsibilities through an order that was issued on behalf of the administrative apparatus.

There are special rules for conducting instructions, one of which states that the required procedure must be carried out directly in an office designed for this purpose and specially equipped:

• jobs;
• teaching aids;
• by technical means.

In addition to introductory training, the following is also provided:

• the so-called initial briefing (it is carried out already at the workplace);
• repeated instruction;
• unscheduled;
• target.

During instructing conversations, the following is carried out:

• familiarizing employees with the hazards currently present at work;
• clarification of the legislative framework in the field of labor protection, as well as relevant instructions;
• safe work training;
• training in providing first aid to victims at work.

All conversations conducted with employees are recorded in specialized journals, where the signature of the employee who received the information must be confirmed.

If persons who have already undergone instruction are transferred within production from one position to another, then they are allowed to independently carry out activities, however, at first it will be carried out under the supervision of an instructor who has similar experience in monitoring employees’ knowledge in the field of labor protection in the context of a specific professional profile.

Notification of dangerous situations and accidents

According to the letter of the law, each employee of the enterprise undertakes to immediately inform the management of the production where he works about the occurrence of circumstances that:

• threaten the health and even lives of workers;
• caused an accident;
• are associated with negative changes affecting the health of the employee himself (determination of an acute form of occupational disease, poisoning, and similar factors).

If one of the company’s employees suddenly gets injured or acquires an occupational disease, his immediate superiors must find out about this, for example:

• workshop manager;
• chief in a particular area;
• master, etc.

If the required circumstance actually occurs, the injured person must be provided with the following assistance:

• carry out pre-medical measures aimed at improving his well-being;
• immediately call an ambulance;
• if possible, take the employee to the medical center at the enterprise, if there is one, or to the nearest hospital.

The victim must be given first aid, call a doctor, and help take him to a health center or the nearest medical facility.

In a situation where an accident occurs with an employee working alone at a specific point, he is obliged, if possible, to independently go to the medical center, employer, or any other employee, and notify him about the incident, asking for help.

In addition, if there is an opportunity to prevent the onset of negative consequences, the employee should use it. So, if he notices a danger that could potentially cause harm to employees or the enterprise itself in the near future, he must:

• initiate a shutdown;
• report the presence of danger to your immediate supervisor;
• if the immediate supervisor is absent, you need to contact higher management.

So, if you suddenly notice a fire that has already broken out, or is just at the stage of ignition, you need to perform the following sequence of actions.

1. First, report the fire immediately by calling the fire department and your supervisor.
2. Start extinguishing the fire yourself using the appropriate fire extinguishing equipment that is equipped in your workplace.
3. If the fire cannot be controlled, assist the employees working with you in evacuating.

Passing medical examinations

The last duty of an employee in the area we are considering today is to undergo medical examinations of the following categories:

• preliminary, which are carried out directly during employment;
• periodic tests, which employees of the organization undergo at least once a year;
• extraordinary, if there were grounds for sending an employee to them at the insistence of the manager.

The legislative acts of our country determine that the obligation of an employee of an organization to undergo medical examinations is officially assigned to him. The required activities are carried out for the following purposes:

• prevent the development of occupational diseases at the enterprise;
• prevent accidents associated with precarious health conditions

The required medical examinations are carried out not using the employee’s personal funds, but at the expense of the financial resources of the enterprise.

1. Thus, preliminary category examinations are carried out for persons who are applying for a job at an enterprise for the first time. Their goal is to determine the level of health of a particular job applicant, which will allow him to understand whether he can perform the job corresponding to it.
2. Periodic examinations help determine the initial stage of development of so-called occupational diseases - pathologies that develop under the influence of various production factors, which can then lead to many accidents.
3. Extraordinary examinations are assigned to employees by employers who:

• or received from an employee a request for an examination due to suspicions of the development of an occupational disease;
• or independently noticed the poor health of a person working at production.

Based on the results of each event aimed at identifying the employee’s health level, an appropriate medical report is issued. Provided that the employee did not undergo a medical examination due to any valid reasons, or his state of health seemed unsatisfactory to the doctors, he cannot be allowed to work in his position.

If contraindications are discovered in a particular employee for carrying out work activities at a particular place, he can be transferred to another, where the required risk factors, which include contraindications, are absent.

Let's sum it up

Following labor safety rules is a vitally important point that must be observed at the enterprise. It is important to understand that if the list of requirements presented in the material is not met, production management has the right to apply disciplinary measures to the employee.

In the table below we consider the main responsibilities of employees in the field of labor protection.

Table 1. What responsibilities must be performed

In addition, compliance with the required legislative rules is reasonable not only from the point of view of avoiding punishment, but also from the point of view of preserving the own lives and health of employees, as well as their entire team.

Be careful with the requirements presented. Study them carefully. If some information from the briefing remains unclear to you, ask the employee responsible for conveying it to you to read all the instructions again.

Commentary on Article 214 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation

The responsibilities of an employee in the field of labor protection are regulated by the commented article.

So, employees of the organization must:

Comply with labor protection requirements;

Correctly use personal and collective protective equipment. Monitoring their correct use is carried out by specialists from the labor protection service and representatives of the labor protection committee (commission). Workers must actually use personal protective equipment. Permission to work without the personal protective equipment provided for in the Standard Industry Standards, as well as with faulty, unrepaired, contaminated personal protective equipment, is prohibited. If an employee is not allowed to work due to his failure to use personal protective equipment, then, in accordance with this, this is considered as a failure to fulfill his job duties and serves as the basis for applying disciplinary measures against him;

Undergo training in safe methods and techniques for performing work, instructions on labor protection, on-the-job training and testing of knowledge of labor protection requirements. These provisions apply to all organizations in the Russian Federation, regardless of the specifics of their production (Clause 2, Article 2 of the Federal Law “On the Fundamentals of Labor Safety in the Russian Federation”). At the same time, the content of the briefing depends on the characteristics of the organization’s production activities and the employee’s job responsibilities;

Immediately notify your immediate or superior manager about any situation that threatens the life and health of people, about every accident that occurs at work, or about a deterioration in your health, including the manifestation of signs of an acute occupational disease (poisoning);

Undergo mandatory preliminary (upon employment) and periodic (during employment) medical examinations (examinations).

If an employee refuses or avoids undergoing a periodic medical examination, he may be subject to . With preliminary inspections the situation is more complicated. The fact is that it is quite difficult to apply penalties in case of refusal to undergo a preliminary medical examination. The relationship with the future employee is not yet fully formed.

During the period of medical examinations, the employee is guaranteed, in accordance with the requirements, to retain his place of work (position) and average earnings. Average earnings during a medical examination are calculated in the manner prescribed in the Regulations on the specifics of the procedure for calculating average wages, approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of April 11, 2003 N 213. The time an employee undergoes a medical examination is determined by working time sheets (unified forms N T-12 and N T-13).
