Three-stage control of labor protection: guidelines

Protecting employees from harmful and dangerous factors of production is considered the most important task of any employer. For its implementation, various OS systems are being introduced. One of the most effective tools for continuous monitoring of the state of safety is the three-stage monitoring of labor protection.

The normative document by which it is introduced is GOST R. 12.0.007-2009. Clause 9.5 defines its main activities. Let's consider them in more detail.

General information

Three-stage control of labor protection is a multi-level system of continuous monitoring of the implementation of health and safety requirements. It acts as the main form of observation by representatives of the employer and the team for the state of conditions in the workplace. For some institutions, this system is of particular importance. For example, the three-stage control over labor protection at school , pre- school educational institutions, and hazardous industries, in addition to general measures, includes special procedures to evaluate the effectiveness of measures taken to protect individuals from the negative impact of the environment. As part of the monitoring, compliance with safety standards, the implementation of instructions, norms, and rules are monitored. The t- step control over labor protection acts as the most important factor in the complex of measures to improve working conditions, increase industrial culture, and subsequently reduce the number of injuries and occupational diseases. The system is designed to ensure the collective responsibility of all employees from the ordinary employee to the director for the health conditions.

Tasks

The organization of three-stage control of labor protection is aimed at:

1. Implementation of a set of established measures for OT
2. Identification of employees responsible for timely safety checks of working conditions.
3. Elimination of deficiencies detected at 3 consecutive OT levels.

The employer is not required to introduce a system. However, three-stage control over labor protection becomes an effective tool for preventing injuries and morbidity.

Levels

As indicated above, GOST R. 12.0.007-2009 defines measures that are included in a three-stage control over labor protection. The normative document, in particular, provides for the following levels of monitoring:

1. The master and a trusted (authorized) employee from the labor union of the union perform a tour of all jobs every day. Identified problems should be resolved immediately.
2. The head of the site (workshop) and an authorized employee with an RT engineer inspect once a week. The results of inspections are recorded in labor protection journals. They indicate the performers and the deadline for eliminating the identified non-conformities.
3. The institution’s committee (commission) studies the health status of the unit once a month. Based on the results of the audit, an act of violations is drawn up, an order is issued to eliminate them.

Supervision and control of labor protection in companies with a small number of employees is carried out in two stages:

1. The head daily inspects all jobs.
2. Each month, an in-depth inspection is carried out by an OT commission with the participation of leading company employees, a trade union representative or a team.

As a result of the audit, the noted deficiencies are recorded in labor protection journals. They also contain proposals for eliminating inconsistencies, deadlines for the implementation of relevant activities and performers. Recent signatures.

Important point

It should be borne in mind that a three-stage control over labor protection will only be effective when all personnel from ordinary workers to managers will persistently and consistently struggle to improve the quality of working conditions. the key condition for the company in this case is the presence of a trade union or representative structure from the team.
