This article contains the main duties of a labor protection specialist, a list of sections that make up his job description, the necessity and procedure for its preparation, as well as the procedure for familiarizing employees with it, are explained.
So, let's begin …
Why draw up a job description for a labor protection specialist in 2019?
It is necessary to draw up a job description in order to describe in detail in it all the duties of a labor protection specialist in the organization. This is done to:
1. Create a list of tasks to be performed by a specialist. This document lists functional responsibilities engineer for labor protection, the precise implementation of which is going to be paid by the employer.
2. Define the boundaries of the area of responsibility. A detailed job description for a labor protection specialist allows you to free him from doing someone else's work, makes it possible to focus exclusively on his own professional duties.
3. Determine the requirements for a specialist. The instruction contains instructions on what an occupational safety engineer should know, what education and work experience to have, what equipment to work with, what production processes it's good to know what reports to write, etc.
4. Coordinate the work of departments. The instruction lists which departments, in what situations and on what issues the labor protection engineer cooperates. This will help him without interference to get access to the information necessary for work, to include representatives of various departments in the commissions, to take part in the work of the commissions, and to hold events. Lists of persons who report to the labor protection engineer, and persons to whom he himself reports, also greatly simplify the joint work of specialists in different areas.
5. Transfer information quickly. In order not to waste time explaining their job responsibilities, a labor protection specialist can simply offer to read his job description.
6. Get a new employee up to speed quickly. By offering the applicant during the interview to read the instructions for the position of interest to him, the employer insures himself against claims like: “But they didn’t tell me anything about this.”
7. Justify the correctness of the fine or other punishment. If a labor protection specialist performs his duties poorly or does not perform at all, it will be easiest to prove this fact by comparing the amount of quality work performed in fact with what the instruction requires.
Occupational safety specialist and his job responsibilities
The main duties of a labor protection specialist are prescribed in, as well as in the professional standard of a labor protection specialist. These two documents complement (and in some cases duplicate) each other.

This protects the employer from possible accusations that the obligations of the labor protection specialist were not brought to his attention at the time of employment.
As a rule, one copy of the instruction is given to the employee in his hands. On its receipt, he signs in the Journal for the issuance of instructions. On this copy, you can write the last name, first name and patronymic of the specialist to whom it was issued.

The employer has the ability to control the safe work in the institution by adding staffing position "specialist in labor protection (traffic safety)".
As a rule, the head of the labor protection and industrial safety service, as well as the engineer for occupational safety and labor protection, are directly subordinate to the director of the enterprise. Employees with experience in performing such a function are confident that the duties of an occupational health and safety engineer are performed by a person who is developed in various fields, who understands both the work of the organization as a whole and the processes of individual structures.
Is it necessary to have in the state
First, let's figure out whether a person responsible for labor protection and industrial safety is needed in each institution. The employer is obliged to comply with the security requirements in the organization. He is obliged not only to control their implementation, but also to form a unit called the service of labor safety specialists. Sometimes a special position is included in the staffing of the enterprise. Such a provision, provided for by Part 1 of Art. 217 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, is used when the organization has more than 50 employees, and it carries out production activities. This activity is implemented in various economic sectors, it is correlated with the production of goods, the performance of work, the provision of services.
Thus, the effect of legislation in this area extends to fairly large institutions that perform a wide range of production functions.
Qualifications
Decree of the Ministry of Labor dated 08.02.2000 No. 14 approved explanations on how to organize labor protection activities, how to organize training for an occupational safety engineer, what qualification skills an occupational health and safety inspector must have.
The current legislation contains the concept of " professional standard". So, the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in Art. 195.1 contains a definition of a concept that establishes a set of indicators of the employee's skill level necessary to perform the established type of work (labor function). For an OT specialist, this is professional standard 192, which was approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of August 4, 2014 No. 524n.
From 07/01/2016, the application of the standard is mandatory both when naming a position and when determining the requirements for the level of education and work skills.
A person appointed to such a vacancy must meet a number of requirements:
- Of Education:
- higher in the field of "Technospheric safety" or similar specialties;
- higher and the presence of additional vocational education (professional retraining) in OT;
- secondary and additional vocational education (professional retraining) in OT.
- Based on work experience:
- without presenting requirements for work experience;
- in the presence of secondary vocational education - experience in this field over 3 years.
If the employer has hazardous facilities, special training in the field of industrial safety and certification is required.
The main area in which these employees are required to study is the specialty "labor safety".
Conclude an agreement with the organization or take part-time
Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides that the head of the institution ensures the conditions for activities that are safe.
Article 217 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation establishes the conditions under which the institution must have a specialist in labor protection and industrial safety, ensuring proper working conditions and processes, if the number of employees is more than 50. If the staff is less than 50 people, the employer independently decides the issue of creating a security service or introducing staff unit. This means that under such conditions the company is not required to have a full-time employee.
If there is no service (or engineer) in the state, the director of the enterprise takes over the functions. The manager has the right to conclude an agreement of a civil law nature with an institution or specialist providing services in the field of labor protection.
If there are more than 50 units in the state (i.e., the employer is obliged to introduce the position of a specialist), the Labor Code of the Russian Federation does not force the identification of an individual employee for whom such work will become the main one. This means that job responsibilities will be divided among other part-time employees in the case when their qualification characteristics match the requirements.
