Organization of the Work of the Labor Protection Office and the Labor Safety Corner!

Why does an organization need a labor safety office?

Organizing the work of the occupational safety office is an important component of the occupational safety management system in any organization.

In accordance with Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employer is obliged to ensure:

safety of workers during the operation of buildings, structures, equipment, implementation of technological processes, as well as tools, raw materials and materials used in production;
creation and operation of a labor protection management system;
training in safe methods and techniques for performing work and providing first aid to victims at work, conducting labor safety briefings, on-the-job training and testing knowledge of labor safety requirements;
informing workers about labor conditions and safety in the workplace, about the risk of damage to health, the guarantees provided to them, the compensation they are entitled to and personal protective equipment;
familiarization of workers with labor protection requirements;
the presence of a set of regulatory legal acts containing labor protection requirements in accordance with the specifics of their activities and others.

For the high-quality performance of labor protection duties and in order to ensure labor protection requirements, disseminate legal knowledge, carry out preventive work to prevent industrial injuries and occupational diseases, to conduct effective training and instructing workers in safe techniques and work methods, it is advisable to create a labor protection office in the organization .

A labor protection office, in my opinion, is necessary in any organization where the position of labor protection specialist is introduced (for example, in a preschool educational organization), and not only in large organizations, as recommended by paragraph 15 of the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 17, 2001 N 7 “On approval Recommendations for organizing the work of the occupational safety office and the occupational safety corner” “the room for placing the occupational safety office ... its area is recommended to be determined based on the number of employees in the organization: up to 1000 people - 24 sq. m, over 1000 people - add 6 sq. m for every additional thousand people. An assessment of the required area for an occupational safety cabinet can be made based on calculating the need for occupational safety training for the calendar year.”

The decision to create a labor protection office in an organization is made by its head.

In cases where work takes place in temporary areas, for example, when working on a rotational basis, mobile labor protection rooms can be used. A mobile office can be in the form of a specially equipped minibus or trailer.

Basic standards

Each manager decides for himself how to organize a labor safety office, but the legislation of the Russian Federation offers an approximate scheme that is the most convenient and effective. The requirements are formalized in the form of recommendations, and disciplinary liability does not apply for unauthorized changes to some provisions.

Options

Occupational safety rooms can be represented by one or more rooms, each of which is intended for conducting classes and testing knowledge. The requirements for the size of the room are:

the minimum square footage of the premises should not be less than 24 m2 when the enterprise employs less than 1000 workers;
It is recommended to create a large occupational safety office with a larger staff, where 6 additional squares are allocated for every thousand workers.

The size of the rooms may be different: if the enterprise has organized work units that have different specializations and dissimilar production conditions, it is possible that classes for each group of workers will be held separately. Then you shouldn’t create a larger room.

What regulatory documents are we guided by when creating it?

When creating an occupational safety office, you can be guided by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 17, 2001 N 7 “On approval of Recommendations for organizing the work of the occupational safety office and the occupational safety corner” (hereinafter referred to as Recommendations for organizing the work of the occupational safety office).

Certain sectors of the economy have their own recommendations for creating occupational safety offices that can be followed. For example: “Standard regulations on the labor protection office in electric power industry organizations. RD 153-34.0-03.107-2001" (approved by RAO UES of Russia on September 27, 2001) or "Regulations on the labor protection office at federal railway transport enterprises" (approved by the Ministry of Railways of the Russian Federation on January 17, 2001 N TsBT-806), which has lost force in connection with the publication of Order of the Ministry of Transport of Russia dated December 15, 2016 N 380.

Based on the Recommendations for organizing the work of the labor protection office, the organization develops Regulations on the labor protection office.

Exploitation

Occupational safety in the office can be carried out in several important areas:

familiarizing the workforce with the possibilities of personal legal protection in matters related to safety at work;
bringing to public attention changes in current legislation regarding the requirement to comply with labor discipline;
The responsible employee assists employees when questions arise related to compliance with safety regulations.

An approximate list of events that can be organized for those working in production:

familiarization with theoretical foundations;
conducting briefings before permission to work;
testing knowledge and skills;
analytical activity of issues related to labor protection.
