Documentation on labor protection in agriculture

What documents regulate the organization of work on labor protection and agriculture?

The main documents regulating the organization of labor protection work in agriculture are the Regulations on labor protection and safety work in enterprises, organizations and institutions of the system of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and on collective farms and the Regulations on labor protection work in enterprises and organizations State Committee for Agricultural Technology of the Russian Federation.

What is the main purpose of the Rules and Safety Instructions?

Various safety rules are intended for administrative and technical personnel of enterprises and organizations, technical labor inspectors of the trade union. They discuss the duties and responsibilities of administrative and technical personnel of a farm, enterprise, organization, general requirements safety and industrial sanitation, issues of training and instructing workers on safe methods and techniques for performing technological operations, the procedure for issuing and using special clothing, safety shoes and safety devices and other issues.

Safety regulations are the law for managers of state farms, collective farms and other agricultural organizations.

Safety instructions are developed directly for performers of technological processes in various professions in agriculture - collective farmers engaged in field farming and livestock farming, machine operators, repairmen, etc. They determine the procedure and conditions for the safety and harmless performance of the duties assigned to him.

What is a comprehensive plan for improving conditions, occupational safety and health measures?

Comprehensive plans for improving conditions, labor protection and sanitary measures are an integral part of plans for the economic and social development of enterprises and sectors of the national economy. They must be linked to technical industrial and financial plans, provided with the necessary material, technical and financial resources, design and estimate documentation, and must be included in collective agreements and agreements on social issues and labor protection.

The main part of the comprehensive plan is the sections provided for by the occupational safety nomenclature.

What is the main goal of a comprehensive plan to improve working conditions and safety?

When developing comprehensive plans, special attention is paid to planning measures to release workers, primarily women, from heavy physical, monotonous and dangerous work, from industries with hazardous working conditions and night shifts, to bring the state of working conditions in the workplace in accordance with established standards and requirements for improving health promotion among workers.

What activities are included in comprehensive plans for improving working conditions and safety?

Activities included in comprehensive plans, first of all, should be directed to:

1. to bring the condition of buildings, structures, machines, machines, mechanisms and other equipment into compliance with established standards;
2. to normalize sanitary and hygienic working conditions;
3. to systematically reduce the number of workers (primarily women) employed in hazardous industries, heavy physical labor, and women employed in night shifts;
4. compliance of sanitary premises and facilities, medical and preventive institutions with current norms and rules;
5. to improve the training of workers and engineers in the rules of safe work, to organize safety rooms at enterprises, equipped with the necessary aids;
6. for other similar events.

What is the content of the safety instructions?

Safety instructions for agricultural workers of various professions are compiled on the basis of current GOSTs (SSBT) and Safety Rules. Each Instruction must contain information about general safety precautions, safe ways performing work operations in a given profession, about the requirements for equipment and tools, about the necessary personal protective equipment, workwear, safety shoes, measures fire safety.

How is the safety service in agriculture organized?

Ministries and departments related to agricultural production have created a special service for labor protection and safety from top to bottom, starting from ministries (departments) and ending directly with farms and enterprises, to guide and control work on labor protection in agriculture.

Attaching great importance to the work on labor protection, leadership and responsibility for organizing it in the system of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation is assigned to one of the deputy ministers, and in the State Committee for Agricultural Technology - to the deputy chairman. The same is organized in the union republics.

So, for example, the safety service in the State Committee for Agricultural Equipment is organized as follows: in the State Committee for Agricultural Equipment of the Russian Federation there is a labor protection department reporting directly to the deputy chairman of the State Committee for Agricultural Equipment of the Russian Federation. In the State Committee for Agricultural Equipment of the constituent entities of the federation there is a department or departments for labor protection, in the regional "Agricultural Equipment" there are departments or groups for labor protection, at enterprises there are safety engineers exempt from other duties (with an average number of employees of more than 250 people) or an engineering and technical worker , performing the functions of a part-time safety engineer.

August is the time for cleaning work, so it’s time to take care of the safety of the workers performing them. In this article, we propose to familiarize yourself with labor protection requirements, compliance with which will help preserve the life and health of workers.

Instructions and training on labor protection in agriculture

What types of training are provided for workers in safe work practices?

Agricultural enterprises conduct briefings (introductory, on-the-job and periodic) and course training for workers.

What is the induction training?

Introductory safety training is carried out upon hiring. It can be carried out in a group or individual way in the form of a conversation-lecture.

The head of an enterprise or institution should not sign an order for the enrollment of a newly hired person until the latter has undergone induction training.

The purpose of induction training is to familiarize the newly arriving employee with general provisions and safety rules when performing agricultural work, using machinery and tractors, servicing animals, when working with pesticides, etc.

The induction training should include the following basic questions:

1. internal labor regulations;
2. the employee’s responsibilities to comply with instructions, rules and standards of safety and industrial sanitation;
3. precautions when being on the farm territory (safety requirements when meeting with vehicles, tractors, self-propelled and towed vehicles; when being near reservoirs, wells, hatches, pits, etc.);
4. general rules electrical safety - the danger of touching live parts of electrical installations, handling electrical appliances, safety measures when replacing faulty electric lamps, as well as when approaching broken electrical wires, methods of freeing persons caught under voltage from electric current, the procedure for providing them with first (pre-medical) aid;
5. organization of labor protection, safety precautions and industrial sanitation, measures to improve working conditions, fire safety measures in enterprises, agricultural organizations and collective farms;

8. at hatchery and poultry farming enterprises and artificial insemination stations, introductory instructions are carried out by chief (senior) livestock specialists and veterinarians;
9. in research institutes, agricultural universities and technical schools - heads of departments, teachers of special disciplines, heads of laboratories and training workshops;
10. in veterinary institutions - heads of institutions.

On others manufacturing enterprises workers are instructed by chief specialists or persons replacing them.

The introductory safety briefing is recorded on a card, which is kept in the employee’s personal file (Form No. 1).

When and who provides on-the-job training?

Instruction at the workplace is carried out with an employee sent to a team, workshop, farm, site, upon admission to work or upon transfer from one job to another or when the conditions and nature of work change.

Instructions are carried out directly by the managers of this area of ​​work (foremen, heads of farms, workshops and auxiliary production, mechanics, foremen, livestock technicians, veterinary technicians, etc.) with a clear demonstration of safe work practices and the use of safety devices. In this case, the employee must be given instructions or a safety leaflet for his specialty.

What is the content of workplace training?

On-the-job training is a continuation of induction training. It should include the following basic questions:

1. familiarization with technological process or organizational and technical rules for a given area of ​​work;
2. requirements for proper organization of the workplace;
3. an explanation of the design of machines, tools, installations that the worker is assigned to service;

6. rules for using workwear, safety footwear and personal protective equipment;
7. rules for transporting and carrying goods, stowing them, transporting people and animals;
8. rules for the safe operation of vehicles and lifting mechanisms used on the farm.

A corresponding entry is made in the Safety Instruction Logbook (Form No. 2) regarding the conduct of on-the-job training, which is kept by the manager of the production site (farm, team, workshop).

After briefing at the workplace, the immediate supervisor observes the employee for a week and helps him learn the safest work techniques, after which he tests the employee’s knowledge.

How is periodic training carried out?

Periodic instruction is carried out during spring field and harvesting work, and for other types of work - at the discretion of the farm administration, but not less than every 3...6 months, depending on the type of work. Instruction is carried out by the main (senior) specialists of the relevant branches of production or, on their instructions and under their control, by the immediate managers of sections (teams, farms, workshops, etc.) according to the induction program at the workplace, taking into account the specifics of the work.

A record of the periodic briefing is also made in the Safety Briefing Log, as after the briefing at the workplace.

How is training in safety and industrial sanitation carried out?

Course training in safety precautions and industrial sanitation for collective farmers, workers and foremen is carried out annually according to the program approved by the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation and the trade union of agricultural workers, followed by testing the knowledge of students in a special qualification commission created on the farm. The same programs are available for employees of the State Committee for Agricultural Equipment.

Considering the specific nature of work in agriculture, it is recommended to organize training in the autumn-winter period.

A record of the course training is made in the Safety Training Logbook (Form No. 3).

Responsibility for organizing and conducting course training rests with the heads of farms and enterprises.

Workers and collective farmers engaged in servicing electrical installations, boiler installations, lifting machines and equipment, pressure vessels, and other mechanisms, the operation of which is associated with increased danger, are trained in special courses.

Safety rooms and corners organized on farms and enterprises should provide great assistance in organizing briefing and course training.

Greetings, dear friends! On March 25, 2016, the Ministry of Justice of Russia registered new Rules on labor protection in agriculture, and today, on March 30, these Rules were published on the official Internet portal of legal information under number 0001201603300027.

According to the order of the Ministry of Labor and social protection Russian Federation dated 02/25/2016 No. 76, which approved the Rules on labor protection in agriculture; in three months these Rules will come into force.

It is also worth recalling that in accordance with the requirements set out in paragraph 3.3. The procedure for training in labor protection and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of organizations, approved by the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Education of the Russian Federation dated January 13, 2003 No. 1/29, an extraordinary test of knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of organizations, regardless of the date of the previous test, is carried out when new ones are introduced or introducing changes and additions to existing legislative and other regulatory legal acts, containing labor protection requirements. In other words, the responsible persons carrying out the functioning of the occupational safety management system, incl. and the head of the organization must undergo an extraordinary test of knowledge of labor protection requirements at the training center, and further, as part of certification commission created by the head of the organization, carry out an extraordinary test of knowledge of labor protection requirements for all other employees of the organization. In this case, only the knowledge of legislative and regulatory legal acts that were first introduced and/or to which changes were made is tested.

Among other things, those responsible for the development of occupational safety instructions, occupational safety training programs, and initial training programs in the workplace will need to carry out an unscheduled review of these local regulatory legal acts with a view to introducing appropriate changes to them.

Now that's it, you can proceed to download;)

Occupational safety and health in agriculture depend on the occupational safety management system created at the enterprise, timely assessment of working conditions and suspected hazardous and harmful effects per employee.

Sections of occupational safety in agriculture

New rules in 2017 divided all existing provisions into 11 sections:

1. Poultry farming and poultry processing.
2. Animal husbandry.
3. Growing plants.
4. Tobacco business.
5. Repair of machinery and equipment.
6. Reclamation.
7. Product storage.
8. Working in conditions of radiation contamination.
9. Sugar beet processing.
10. Use of fertilizer complexes and agrochemicals.
11. Innovative developments.

All events take into account the characteristics of each section of the industry.

Requirements of safety regulations

The organization of labor protection has made it mandatory to comply state requirements in all sectors of agriculture. The documentation began to take into account the analysis carried out before the signing of new regulations. The implementation of safety rules begins with the development of projects for each working area, all features of the production process are considered. Management of the occupational safety system began to be controlled by commissions of the public and inspections of government agencies.

The employer of an enterprise of any size develops instructions on labor protection for agriculture, according to the profile of its activity. The documents require that the acquired knowledge be recorded in the briefing log; knowledge testing topics are also recorded there; unscheduled briefings are conducted for employees to acquaint them with changes in legislation, technical upgrades, new requirements for the organization and the implementation of assigned duties.

Features of agricultural safety

In agriculture, every activity requires safe conditions. The essence of the action is that in any workplace there arises large number risks. This is due to the need to work with equipment, transport, and chemical compounds at each site. Most of the risks are associated with the work mode and place of work, which is not protected from climatic and natural phenomena. Some of them are included in the training materials.

• Equipment repair: workplace, operations;
• Types of work: electrical, gas, forging, restoration, carpentry and others;
• Livestock: feed preparation, farm equipment, silage;
• Sanitary conditions: lighting, noise, meteorology, pollution.

Agriculture is based on heavy physical labor, therefore, TB is the basis of labor protection.
