Who is required by law to conduct a special assessment of working conditions?

A special assessment of working conditions in accordance with the new law is included in the obligation for all employers if the staff list provides for at least one employee with whom an employment contract has been signed. All employers are required to comply with the law, regardless of the form of ownership. An exception is not made for employees who do not have a permanent workplace on the territory of the employer, for example, sales agents or merchandisers.

Only individual entrepreneurs are exempted from compliance with the law if they work completely independently and do not have a single employee. Individuals who have entered into contracts for the performance of any work with third-party third parties are not required to comply with the provisions of the law. This provision is valid only if the individual is not registered as an individual entrepreneur.

An employer using home work, if some or all of the employees work remotely from the parent company, is not required to carry out a procedure for such workplaces.

What is a special assessment of working conditions?

The law defines a special assessment of working conditions as a sequence of measures or procedures aimed at identifying production factors that adversely affect the health of those who work there. In this case, factors may be directly related to the labor function that the employee performs. And they can be justified by the general production environment in which the workplace. The labor function of a particular employee may not include either lifting weights or working with combustible substances. But, if his workplace, for reasons justified by production technology, is in a “hot” shop, then such a workplace can hardly be attributed to optimal or acceptable ones.

Only the employer is obliged to pay for all activities related to the law. No fees from employees are allowed.

The law allows those organizations that, as of January 1, 2014, had certification of workers in terms of working conditions, to conduct the first special assessment after 5 calendar years, but no later than December 31, 2018.

Companies registered after 01/01/2014 are required by law to conduct an initial assessment no later than December 31, 2018. At the same time, a phased procedure is allowed to reduce the one-time financial burden.

Assessment of working conditions for office workers

If the workplace is located on the territory of the organization or individual entrepreneur, then it is in without fail must be subjected to a special assessment of working conditions. This also applies to those who work only in the office at computers; and those who work in production; and workers classified as service personnel, such as watchmen, watchmen, cleaners, etc. There is an erroneous opinion that office jobs are subject to declaration, i.e. the organization conducting the special assessment indicates in its conclusion that there are no factors that adversely affect health at the workplace and all these data are entered in the declaration.

But what about the illumination of the work surface? Artificial illumination should be measured at all workplaces.

Of course, there are jobs to be declared, but they are negligible. The declaration form was approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor dated February 7, 2014 No. 82n. The declaration is submitted by the employer and is valid for 5 calendar years. If during this period the working conditions at these workplaces do not change, then the declaration period will be extended for another 5 years.

But, this relief does not apply to the cases, which will be discussed below, in accordance with which the enterprise will be obliged to conduct an unscheduled procedure for assessing jobs.

When and why is an unscheduled special assessment of working conditions carried out?

If an enterprise or organization has a valid document confirming the implementation of all the necessary measures provided for by Federal Law No. 426-ФЗ “On a Special Assessment of Working Conditions”, then if at least one of the following circumstances exists, it becomes necessary to conduct an extraordinary or unscheduled special assessment.
The list of such situations is defined by Art. 17 FZ-426 and includes:

  • creation of a new workplace, which did not exist at the time of the last special assessment. For such cases, legislators set aside 6 calendar months for the passage of all necessary measures;
  • an accident that occurred at the workplace that passed the test. This also includes cases of occupational diseases of workers;
  • there have been significant changes in the technological process; materials, components, means of labor, equipment have changed. If changes have taken place in better side, then the employer, even if there are costs, will be interested in conducting an unscheduled special assessment of working conditions, since it is its results that will be taken into account when calculating contributions for additional pension provision paid in the FIU;
  • the labor inspectorate may decide that a special assessment is necessary, without waiting for the prescribed 5 years, if numerous complaints about working conditions are received.

Special assessment of working conditions. Why carry it out?

The previously existing procedure for attestation of workplaces in terms of working conditions was also mandatory for everyone. But, many preferred to pay a relatively small fine, but not to carry out an expensive procedure. Under the current conditions, the law does not leave such a choice: a fine or a special assessment. Since the beginning of 2015, the fine for an official has been from 5 to 10 thousand rubles. An organization that refuses to carry out the procedures prescribed by law will be punished in the amount of 60 to 80 thousand rubles. All fines and punishments for labor protection are described in detail in Part 2 of Art. 5.27.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. If the company, fined once, does not take measures to correct the situation, then the repeated punishment will be even tougher. The official this time can be included in the list of disqualified persons for up to 3 years. The fine for enterprises increases to 200 thousand rubles. Depending on the circumstances, the activities of the enterprise may be suspended for up to 90 days. Part 5 becomes the basis for re-punishment. Art. 5.27.1, part 23 of Art. 19.5 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.

Behind the scenes it is recommended to put in order all the magazines related to safety. Will be requested by the commission also staffing and employment contracts with all employees. If there are units in the staffing table, the reduction of which has already occurred or is planned in the immediate future, then it is recommended to cross them out before the start of the work of the commission. If the company plans to expand the staff in the near future, then before the start of all procedures, it is better to add all positions to the staffing table. This will avoid extraordinary special assessments. This must be done in advance, as jobs for a special assessment will be selected directly from the staffing table.

The selected organization with which the contract for the provision of this type of service is concluded conducts research at all workplaces to identify factors that have a negative impact on health. After all the necessary tests and measurements have been carried out, the organization performing the special assessment draws up a report in accordance with the order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated January 24, 2014 No. 33n.

  • Class 1 - the workplace is considered absolutely safe for health;
  • Class 2 - working conditions at such a place are considered acceptable;
  • Grade 3 - work in such a workplace can be harmful to health;
  • Grade 4 - work in such conditions is dangerous to life and health.

The classification of jobs is described in detail in Part 2, Part 2. 3, section 14 of Law No. 426-FZ. If the enterprise has jobs with a 3rd or 4th hazard class, the organization will be required to pay additional contributions to the Pension Fund in accordance with Art. 58.3 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 No. 2012-FZ "On insurance contributions to the PRF".

The assessment has been made. What then?

Each employee of the enterprise within 30 days from the date of completion of the audit must familiarize himself with the conclusions of the commission and the expert against signature. If the enterprise has an official website, then during the same time the results should be posted on it. This is done in accordance with paragraph 6 of article 15 Law No. 426 FZ "On a special assessment of working conditions".
