Calculation of terms of use of personal protective equipment at the enterprise

All production workers must be provided with protective clothing free of charge. This includes not only a jacket and pants, but also gloves, a helmet, safety glasses, shoes, vests, etc. If the employer does not purchase CO for personnel, workers have the right to independently purchase any appropriate set of workwear, regardless of its price, and the company is obliged to compensate its cost upon presentation of the check.

However, no matter who buys the workwear, it has its own expiration date. The service life of workwear is established by standards, in accordance with the type of production and the work performed by the worker. The same standards establish the deadlines for writing off workwear.

Requirements for CO

When does the period of use of the issued workwear begin?

The shelf life of workwear according to the law depends on the specifics of the activity, climate and work performed. The standards for the terms of use of workwear for 2021 are prescribed in the corresponding order of the Ministry of Finance No. 997n. It also indicates how and from what point the service life of CO begins to be calculated, when it needs to be changed, what rules apply to different enterprises, how to determine the wear and tear of clothing and the service life of PPE (personal protective equipment).

So, according to the order of the Ministry of Finance, the time of use of the “special clothing” begins to be recorded from the moment the worker signs in the journal about receiving the CO. This rule applies to the standard form. The accounting for the winter kit, which is often used for 4-5 months a year, depending on the region, includes the time that the CO remains in the warehouse.

Personal protective equipment (PPE). Procedure and standards for issuing PPE, terms of wearing

In accordance with Order of the Ministry of Health No. 290 dated June 1, 2009. “On approval of intersectoral rules for providing workers with special clothing, special footwear and other personal protective equipment”, workers engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous conditions there, as well as in work performed in special temperature conditions or associated with pollution, are issued free of charge, in accordance with the established procedure, certification or declaration of conformity of personal protective equipment in accordance with the standards approved in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

The purchase of PPE is carried out at the expense of the employer.

An employer may purchase PPE for temporary use under a lease agreement.

Employees engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, as well as in work performed in special temperature conditions or associated with pollution, are provided with appropriate PPE free of charge.

The provision of personal protective equipment to employees, including those acquired by the employer for temporary use under a lease agreement, is carried out on the basis of the results of certification of workplaces for working conditions, carried out in the prescribed manner, and in accordance with the standard standards for the free issuance of special clothing that has undergone certification or declaration of conformity in the established manner , special footwear and other personal protective equipment (hereinafter referred to as standard standards).

The employer is obliged to ensure that employees are informed about the PPE they are entitled to. When concluding an employment contract, the employer must familiarize employees with these Rules, as well as with the standard standards for issuing PPE .

The employee is obliged to correctly use the PPE issued to him in the prescribed manner.

If an employee engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, as well as with special temperature conditions or associated with pollution, is not provided with PPE in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, he has the right to refuse to perform labor duties.

An employee’s refusal to perform such work does not entail bringing him to disciplinary liability.

How standards for wearing workwear depend on the type of production

Standards for issuing workwear by profession

The legislative framework provides for the issuance of protective clothing and personal protective equipment to 195 types of professions. In general, the service life of workwear, the standards of which are prescribed in Resolution of the Ministry of Labor No. 997n, depends on three factors - climatic conditions, type of production and work responsibilities of the subordinate. So, for an employee of one workshop where metal is melted, the wearing standards will be different from the norms for an employee of the next workshop where the same metal is processed.

Additional factors:

type of pollution;
there is a danger of electric shock;
temperature indicators;
presence of toxic substances;
work associated with increased risk.

How it looks like in an example. Let's say we have a fleet driver and a battery technician. For them, the terms of use of workwear at the enterprise, the table of which is in the above-mentioned resolution, is:

The driver, who additionally carries out car repairs in the company’s garage, is entitled to the usual cotton overalls, which are issued for up to two years, and gloves, one pair of which is required for 2 months of use;
For a battery operator, the standards provide for the issuance of a suit with protection from acid burning for 1.5 years and 6 pairs of rubber gloves for 1 year, rubberized boots and an apron with a bib for up to 2 years, gloves made of dielectric material, glasses and galoshes “until worn out.”

An example of standards for the use of personal protective equipment by a repairman

Additional Information! The duration of wearing overalls is additionally established by a special commission during production certification.

Legislative regulation

The norms and terms of issuance are regulated by the regulations of the ministries:

Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 997n (for workers in cross-cutting professions and hazardous production);
by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 297 (signaling clothing);
Resolution of the Ministry of Labor No. 70 (warm workwear);
by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 290n (intersectoral rules).

These documents apply to all industries, but there are also separate rules for each industry. Standard industry standards for issuing workwear are largely outdated, so the equipment may be either excessive or insufficient. Another problem is that not all professions and types of work are taken into account in industry standards. In such cases, they are guided by standard standards for cross-cutting professions and intersectoral rules. They are used to select workwear that is similar in profession or type of work.

Establishment of the period: “until wear”

As already mentioned, some personal protective equipment is issued to the employee “until worn out.” This list includes a signal vest, the service life of which is unlimited, safety glasses, noise-cancelling headphones, knee and elbow pads, some types of support belts, etc. The issuance of new PPE is provided only in the event of loss, theft, breakage, obsolescence and beyond the operational time frame , installed by the manufacturer.

Sample order for standards for issuing workwear

Thus, for example, if for supporting belts GOST provides for maximum use for a period of up to 25 years, then if during this time it has not become unusable, it is in any case subject to write-off.

In addition, the employer must conduct regular inspections of personal protective equipment. The enterprise must have a log in which each inspection will be recorded.

Additional Information! Typically, for long-life PPE, inspections are carried out every six months or a year.

How to determine for accounting purposes the wear period of workwear if the issuance rate is set “until worn out”

Any wear time can be set for items of equipment, the main thing is that it does not exceed the standards for maximum use of the product by GOST or the manufacturer of the product.

For example, the useful service life of safety glasses can range from a couple of months to 20 years. Therefore, for accounting purposes, it is possible to establish a systematic write-off every year, referring to the conditions of the work performed.

Can the useful life of workwear be extended?

The useful life of workwear can be extended if it is in proper condition.

There is a form that is transferred by employees back to the employer before the expiration of the period of its use according to the standards - this happens in two cases:

When a person leaves the company.
When a person moves to another position within the enterprise, but receives new responsibilities, the performance of which requires a different type of workwear.

What do you do with this form? Here they do not necessarily rely on what period of wear of workwear was initially noted. The solution to the issue depends on the state of the thing. It may be written off or reused. The second option is possible with the following algorithm of actions:

The form is taken out of service.
A commission is formed to assess the suitability of the received protective clothing.
The assessment itself is carried out directly, which determines the degree of wear and the possibility or impossibility of further use of the item.
Workwear classified as “suitable for further use” is re-issued with a note in the employee’s personal card.

When issuing, special marks may be made, for example, “Degree of wear 50%”, etc. More detailed questions regarding the wear-out period of workwear can be discussed with the relevant authorities at a particular enterprise.

Depending on climate

Since the operating time of winter and summer clothing may be different, depending on the weather conditions of the region and the seasonal work performed, the time of wearing them should also be different.

Lifespan of winter workwear

The service life of the winter set depends on the climate zone to which the region belongs. That is, there are no uniform standards and those responsible for the service life of work clothes must know their climate zone in order to write off CO on time.

Climate zones were established based on data on average annual temperatures and average wind speed. According to this principle, the territory of the Russian Federation is divided into 4 belts; the manager can find out his belt in the same order of the Ministry of Labor under No. 63. Each belt has its own class of protection, which must be provided by clothing. Class 1 refers to the warmest regions, class 4 to the harshest.

The service life for each class will be as follows

There is also a special climate zone characteristic of the Arctic. There, the winter set should be changed every 1.5 years, and shoes every 2 years.

For how long are summer work clothes issued to workers by law?

There are no fixed service periods for each type of activity. The law says that the service life of summer clothing is 1 year, but the commission must further consider the issue of a possible extension of the period if there are grounds for this.

Not every production facility provides shoes for the summer period. For each industry, the period will be different, depending on the conditions and specialization of the employee. But, according to the norms, shoes cannot be worn for more than three years.

Deadlines for issuing winter and summer workwear

Seasonal kits are issued at the arrival of winter or summer, and when they end, they are put into storage until the next season. A set of summer work clothes includes a suit made of cotton or mixed fabric, boots and gloves without insulation. The timing of wearing winter workwear is determined by the region’s affiliation with one of the five zones.

Climate zone	Regions	Norms and terms for issuing warm workwear
I	Astrakhan, Belgorod, Kaliningrad regions	Insulated jackets and trousers are issued for 3 years, shoes - for 4
II	Voronezh, Moscow, Leningrad regions	Jackets and trousers are changed every 2.5 years, shoes - every three
III	Altai, Novosibirsk region, Karelia	Clothes are issued for 2 years, shoes - for 2.5
IV	Kamchatka, Kuril Islands, Murmansk region	Warm workwear is provided for 1.5 years, felt boots - for 2
Special	Chukotka and other polar territories	Replacement occurs as in the previous paragraph. But they additionally issue a sheepskin coat for 4 years, a hat with earflaps for 3 years, and fur mittens for 2 years.

Thus, an insulated signal suit for a road worker in Voronezh is issued for two and a half years, and the same suit for a worker in Murmansk is issued for a year and a half.

Overalls for line personnel

Depending on the type of production, line personnel include different groups of workers, not only those who work in production. This also includes catering workers, medical organizations, cashiers, salespeople, etc.

Their standards for compliance with workwear are approximately the same. Usually this is a cotton robe or a suit of jacket and trousers.

Additional Information! In winter, line workers who perform job duties outside are required to be given felt boots, a winter jacket or a quilted jacket.

The average service life of overalls for line personnel is limited to 24 months. In some cases this period may be 18 months. If the manufacturer does not indicate an expiration date, the clothing is disposed of after 24 months.

Personal protective equipment

According to Part 3 of Art. 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged to ensure the timely issuance of personal protective equipment in accordance with established standards. The protective equipment that is issued to employees must be suitable for their gender, height and size, conditions and nature of the work performed and ensure labor safety (clause 8 of the Rules). If an employer uses foreign-made PPE, then it must meet the labor protection requirements established by the legislation of the Russian Federation and have a certificate of conformity.

Upon dismissal, transfer to another job, at the end of the wearing period, upon receipt of new ones, the workwear must be returned, since it is the property of the organization. If, upon dismissal, an employee handed over workwear, the wear period of which has not expired, then the commission determines the percentage of wear and tear, and when re-issuing used work clothes, the wear period is calculated taking into account the established wear rate.

Extending the wearing period of workwear

Clause 6.17 of the standards for the service life of workwear provides for an extension of the wearing period of PPE. For this purpose, an inventory commission is assembled at the enterprise, which evaluates the further suitability of the overalls.

This practice is quite common. At some enterprises, due to the specifics of the position, workers may not wear special clothing, which needs to be changed every year, for two or three years.

At the same time, in the course of professional suitability for further wearing of clothing, a certificate is issued, which indicates all the defects existing at the time of inspection. If the flaws do not meet the standards for extending the service life of the PPE, it is written off. For example, if the percentage of engine oil stains on a mechanic’s uniform is less than 15, you can wait a while with the write-off.

How is the period of use of PPE calculated?

The employer is obliged to replace or repair personal protective equipment that has become unusable before the end of its useful life for reasons beyond the control of the employee. In the event of loss or damage to personal protective equipment in designated storage areas for reasons beyond the control of employees, the employer is obliged to provide them with other serviceable copies (clause 9 of the Rules).

The emerging contradiction has not yet been commented on by the Russian Ministry of Labor, and there are no official clarifications on this issue. In addition, according to the already mentioned Certification Rules, the validity period of the certificate of conformity for personal protective equipment is three years, and during this period personal protective equipment may be subject to repeated inspections.

Deduction of cost upon dismissal

It is important to understand that work clothes purchased for workers become the personal property of the enterprise, not the worker. Simply put, it is put on balance. Upon dismissal, the employee is obliged to return to the employer the protective clothing on the balance sheet.

Additional Information! If the dismissed employee does not do this, the employer has the right to withhold the market value of the purchased clothing from the calculated salary. But according to the labor code, the employer does not have the right to withhold more than 20% of the employee’s salary.

7. Circumstances and causes of individual typical accidents, accidents, fires that occurred at the enterprise and other similar industries due to violations of safety requirements. Prevention of industrial accidents.

June 24, 2021 A serious industrial accident occurred at JSC Agrotown Zhiryatinsky. While driving cows into a barn, a milking machine operator suffered blunt force trauma to the abdomen. The woman came across a stick.

Based on the results of the GIT inspection, the following violations of the requirements of legislative and other state regulations containing labor protection requirements were identified:

— workers engaged in work with harmful and dangerous working conditions are allowed to perform work without undergoing periodic medical examinations;

no training has been organized for blue-collar workers to provide first aid to those injured at work;

drivers, tractor drivers, general workers are not provided with personal protective equipment;

the official responsible for electrical equipment and the person replacing him during the period of absence have not been appointed.

There is no introductory training program; driver training is not carried out on road safety issues.

Other violations of the Labor legislation of the Russian Federation were also identified.

Based on the results of the inspection, the General Director of Agrogodok Zhiryatinsky OJSC was issued an order to obligatorily eliminate violations of labor legislation.

For violations of the law, the legal entity OJSC Agrogodok Zhiryatinsky was brought to administrative responsibility.

In 2013, a milkmaid from JSC Sabinovo in the Ivanovo region suffered an industrial accident while unloading silage from the back of a car; while driving along rows of animals, she fell from the back of the car onto the floor of the feed aisle. The woman received injuries in the form of a closed craniocerebral injury and closed fractures of the distal metaphysis of the right radius and the main phalanges of the 2-4 fingers of the right hand. These bodily injuries fall into the category of bodily injuries resulting in grievous bodily harm.

During the investigation into the circumstances of the accident, it was established that the woman, in violation of Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, did not undergo training and testing of labor protection knowledge in the prescribed manner.

The Ivanovo Interdistrict Investigative Department of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Ivanovo Region issued a resolution to initiate a criminal case under Part 1 of Art. 143 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, namely “Violation of labor protection rules”

In 2010, an employee of a Moscow company left the office building to have lunch in the office canteen in the next entrance during the hours set for lunch breaks. While crossing the patio, she stepped in a puddle and received a chemical burn to her foot as a result of contact with deicing agents. The sidewalk treated with reagents belongs to the company’s yard territory. According to clause 4.5.18 of the Rules for the sanitary maintenance of territories, organizing cleaning and ensuring cleanliness and order in Moscow, approved. by Decree of the Moscow Government dated November 9, 1999 No. 1018 (hereinafter referred to as the Rules), responsibility for the organization and performance of cleaning work and maintenance of territories (in-plant, intra-yard) of enterprises, organizations and institutions, other economic entities, the adjacent five-meter zone (from the boundaries of the plots, fences, buildings), entrances to them is entrusted to enterprises, organizations, institutions and economic entities that own, possess, lease or have on their balance sheet buildings located in these territories. This applies to all legal entities located or operating in Moscow, regardless of their form of ownership and departmental affiliation, and their officials. At the same time, each city has its own rules for improvement, cleanliness and order. Thus, a chemical burn received by an employee on the way to the service canteen during the lunch break hours established by the PVTR can be qualified as a work-related injury. The basis for this conclusion is Art. 108 and 227 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, as well as clause 4.5.18 of the Rules.

It's the "little" injuries that happen most in the office, and they happen where you least expect them.

Furniture with sharp edges + mountains of documents + busy work = increased risk of accidents.

In the usual office routine, we forget about the dangerous sharp corners of furniture and often leave various drawers with documents open. Therefore, to help us avoid such troubles that “encounters” with these objects entail, it is worth remembering 7 simple rules.

1. Do not place shelves at head level.

2. If possible, “round off” sharp corners and edges of furniture using special plastic attachments.

3. Don't forget to close drawers and doors.

4. Do not place heavy objects on cabinets.

5. Do not use chairs on wheels or tables as stepladders.

6. Stay calm when sorting documents.

7. Provide yourself with “transparency” of the workplace and monitor its order and cleanliness.

Typical office injuries:

Slips and trips are two of the most common causes of office injuries. Therefore, to improve safety, it is necessary to get rid of cracks or uneven protruding edges of the floor.

Dangerous office supplies such as staplers, pins, hole punchers and other “sharp” objects are found in great abundance on the desks of office workers. Therefore, be careful with these seemingly “harmless helpers.” By complying with safety requirements and avoiding unnecessary fuss, you will not join the ranks of workers who unsuccessfully attached a “tack to their finger” or “received a paper clip shot in the palm due to an uncontrolled stapler.” If you accidentally break a glass or vase, do not throw the broken pieces into the waste paper basket. It is best to place such “hazardous waste” in a designated location where it is clearly visible to cleaning personnel.

Another risk factor for office workers is the need to look at the monitor for almost all eight hours of the working day. Doctors warn that lack of rest for the eyes can lead to a significant decrease in visual acuity.

To ensure optimal performance, prevent fatigue and maintain health when working with a PC, it is necessary to observe regulated breaks during the work shift and organize a work shift by alternating work with and without a PC.

If visual discomfort and other unfavorable subjective sensations occur among those working with a PC, despite compliance with sanitary, hygienic and ergonomic requirements, it is recommended to use an individual approach with a limitation of the time spent working with a PC.

The total time spent working with PVEM within one work shift should not exceed 50% of the working time. It is recommended to organize breaks of 10 - 15 minutes every 45 - 60 minutes of working with the PVEM.

Reporting can be carried out both in written and electronic form, and can be presented either in a journal or in a card index.
