Hello everyone, colleagues!

The Russian Ministry of Labor has developed new “Model standards for the free issuance of special clothing, special footwear and other personal protective equipment to workers in cross-cutting professions and positions of all types economic activity, engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, as well as work performed in special temperature conditions or associated with pollution.”

They were approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 9, 2014 No. 997n. The document was registered with the Ministry of Justice on 02/26/2015, officially published on 02/27/2015 and comes into force after 3 months from the date of official publication, that is - 05/28/2015.

In this regard, the Old Standard standards for issuing workwear for cross-cutting professions and positions, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation dated October 1, 2008 No. 541n, are cancelled.

I recommend that you start studying the new document, look for professions that are available in your organization and bring your local standards for issuing workwear in accordance with the new requirements. It’s good that you can download the document on this site absolutely free.

Download the new Standards for issuing workwear for cross-cutting professions (Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 9, 2014 N 997n).

I hope you found this article useful.

In accordance with Article 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, workers employed in hazardous industries or production associated with pollution, or associated with special temperature conditions must be provided free of charge with certified work clothing, safety footwear and other personal protective equipment.

Employers, at their own expense, are required to purchase, free and timely issue protective clothing to employees, in accordance with standard standards for issuing protective clothing.

The employer has the right to establish its own standards for the provision of workwear, deviating from the standard standards for issuing workwear and safety footwear that improve the protection of workers.

The standard standards for the free distribution of workwear provide minimum requirements for the composition of personal protective equipment to provide workers with reliable protection from the effects of various adverse factors, pollution and low ambient temperatures.

Standards for issuing workwear for various professions: regulatory framework, procedure and frequency of issuance

In addition to standard standards, in every industry National economy There are industry standards for the provision of protective clothing that specify the composition of protective kits for a particular industry. The composition of the protective clothing set, according to the issuance standards, depends on the working conditions, i.e. depending on the employee's specialty.

In the standard standards for the issuance of workwear, in addition to the composition of protective kits for certain professions, the terms of use or wearing periods of products are indicated. Timely replacement of workwear and safety shoes or other personal protective equipment is the responsibility of the employer, and the employer’s responsibilities include organizing the care of workwear, washing and cleaning workwear, and where necessary, organizing dryers for personal protective equipment.

Approximate list of standard standards for the free issuance of workwear

Standard standards for workwear are approved by orders of the Ministry of Health and Social Development (until 2005, the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation) by industry and are appendices to such orders. If there are no standard issuance standards for your industry, you need to search among industry standards or use inter-industry standards for the issuance of workwear.

Today I would like to talk about the timing of wearing workwear in general, and winter clothing in particular.

So, what kind of workwear and to whom issue prescribed in the Model State Regulations. There are quite a lot of them, for different industries. If some professions are not included in industry standards, then most likely you will find them (professions) in the “end-to-end” standards (Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 541n dated October 1, 2008).

And here Issue norms winter workwear the same for all industries and approved Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation No. 70 of December 31, 1997. These standards provide for the following types winter workwear for employees:

— Jacket with insulating lining;

— Pants with insulating lining;

— Lavsan-viscose jacket with insulating lining;

— Lavsan-viscose trousers with insulating lining;

- Valenki.

The wearing time for winter workwear is determined depending on the climate zone: from 4 years in the 1st belt, up to 1.5 years in the 4th and special belts.

In a special climate zone, in addition to warm workwear, a sheepskin coat is also issued for 4 years, a hat with earflaps for 3 years, and fur mittens for 2 years.

When constantly working in high mountainous areas warm workwear and warm safety shoes issued: at an altitude of 1000 to 2000 meters above sea level for the wearing periods established for regions of the III climatic zone; at an altitude of 2000 m above sea level and above - for the wearing periods established for regions of the IV climatic zone.

The procedure for issuing workwear, both summer and winter, has been established By Order of the Ministry of Health and Development No. 290n dated June 1, 2009 and stipulates some features of the issuance of winter workwear and the timing of its wearing:

Clause 21 PPE intended for use in special temperature conditions caused by annual seasonal temperature changes are issued to employees at the beginning of the corresponding period of the year, and at its end are handed over to the employer for organized storage until the next season.

The time period for wearing PPE used in special temperature conditions includes the time of their organized storage.

This means that having issued winter workwear for 1.5 years (for example, a special climate zone, like mine), for example in October, having received it for storage from an employee in April, you issue it again in October next year, that is The wearing period of winter workwear is 2 seasons.

clause 22 PPE returned by employees after the wear period has expired, but suitable for further use, is used for its intended purpose after taking measures to care for it (washing, cleaning, disinfection, degassing, decontamination, dust removal, neutralization and repair).

The suitability of the specified PPE for further use, the need for and the composition of measures to care for it, as well as the percentage of wear of the PPE are established by an official authorized by the employer or the labor protection commission of the organization (if any) and are recorded in the personal record card for the issuance of PPE.

This is for purposes savings. Naturally, this point cannot be abused, and the condition and suitability for reuse of worn workwear must be objectively assessed.

Let me remind you that the standards for issuing workwear in an organization are drawn up taking into account both the Model State Standards and the results AWS for working conditions.

That's all for today.

In accordance with labor legislation, in work with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, as well as in work performed in special temperature conditions or associated with pollution, employees are provided with special clothing, shoes and other personal protective equipment (PPE) at the employer’s expense. New rules for such provision have been approved.

The rules set mandatory requirements to the acquisition, issuance, use, storage and care of PPE. They apply to all employers.

PPE is provided to employees based on the results of workplace certification and in accordance with standard standards for free issuance. These standards can be improved by local regulations in the organization. An equivalent replacement of PPE is also allowed.

PPE must meet safety requirements. This is confirmed by a declaration of conformity and (or) a certificate of conformity, and in some cases, a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion. Dermatological PPE must have a certificate of state registration.

If the employer has not fulfilled the obligation to provide personal protective equipment established by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, the employee has the right to refuse to perform work duties.

Standard standards for issuing workwear

At the same time, attraction to disciplinary liability will not follow.

The form of a personal registration card for the issuance of personal protective equipment is provided. The period for using PPE is calculated from the date of its actual issue to employees. The employer, at his own expense, carries out dry cleaning, washing, degassing, decontamination, disinfection, neutralization, dust removal, drying, as well as repair and replacement of personal protective equipment.

Previously existing rules have been declared no longer in force.

Terms of wearing winter workwear and nuances

The company's managers will be happy to answer your questions and calculate the cost of services and prepare an individual commercial offer.

Ask a Question

The employer, at his own expense, provides care for the workwear, i.e. timely dry cleaning, washing, drying, repair, replacement (clause 30 of the Intersectoral Rules for Providing Workers with Work Clothing and PPE, approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development No. 290n dated 06/01/2009).

You can organize a centralized workwear service at an enterprise either using your own facilities (equipment for washing, drying, repairing, etc.), or using a contractor (specialized laundry), choosing the option with the best cost/quality of care ratio.

In any case, please note the following:

Firstly, timely washing and repair of workwear is possible if each employee has at least 2 sets of workwear in use.

Secondly, the detergents, stain removers and other preparations used by the laundry must not only effectively remove industrial stains, but also be safe. After washing/dry cleaning, the product must be free of detergent residues.

Thirdly, we need personal labeling of each piece of workwear. Each employee must receive his own suit from the wash, and since the amount of clothing in the enterprise is large, proper personalization is also necessary for quickly sorting and issuing washed clothes. At Interbusiness, for example, workwear is marked on the reverse side with special indelible marks, indicating the customer company and the employee’s full name, as well as the address of the place where the workwear is stored in the customer’s dressing room. If the workers themselves do the marking, then it should be taken into account that: 1. the marking should not be washed off, so ink, etc. not suitable, 2. markings must be made according to one template (location on workwear, format and size of the inscription), 3. markings must be contrasting and clearly visible on the product.

Fourthly, timely repair of workwear should be organized. A specialized dry cleaner/laundry always provides additional services for the repair of workwear. If you use your own facilities to care for workwear, then you cannot do without a sewing area, and this means at least 2 seamstresses (for replacement during vacations, sick leave), sewing machines and materials for repairs.

Fifthly, it is necessary to ensure temporary storage and safety of clothes after washing, before being issued to employees. For this purpose, the company allocates an equipped room for a pantry/dressing room in accordance with the standards. Recently, special metal cabinets for servicing workwear have proven themselves well. Each such cabinet has 10 individual cells, locked with a key, one cell per employee. For enterprises with up to 200 people, special cabinets for servicing workwear installed in employee locker rooms can be a good alternative to a pantry/dressing room.

Sixth, instruct the storekeeper (wardrobe) to issue special clothing to workers on shift on a daily basis. Also, the cloakroom attendant can carry out incoming quality control of clean workwear,, if necessary, transfer workwear for repair, monitor the timely completion of repairs and prevent the issuance of faulty workwear.

In addition, in cases of damage or wear of workwear, it is necessary to organize timely replacement of unusable items of workwear with serviceable ones, and also consider the procedure for returning workwear by resigning employees.//

Enterprises need to supply workers with special clothing, safety footwear and personal protective equipment, but the standards for issuing are different for each profession. How do organizations regulate this issue?

Requirements for providing workers with PPE

The worker carrying out labor activity, must be provided by everyone necessary means for protection from hazardous factors. First, you need to understand what factors of the labor process we are talking about:

  • harmful factors are factors, when exposed to substances harmful to health (industrial dust, excess gas content in the air and the presence of hazardous substances that a person inhales, electromagnetic radiation, physical overload, etc.);
  • hazardous factors are factors in the presence of which a worker may be injured (open moving parts of machine equipment that cannot be protected by a casing due to the conditions of the technical process).

If an employer has any doubts about what kind of workwear and PPE to issue to an employee, then you can always refer to the certification card; this document contains all the details, so that errors are excluded.

But in addition to SOUT, there are requirements at the legislative level:

  1. IN labor legislation it is written that the employer is obliged to provide the employee with special PPE and RPE clothing in accordance with the standards.
  2. The standards establish what special clothing is required for a certain category of workers and types of production.
  3. The requirements of documents developed at the state level can be recorded in local regulations for the enterprise and organization.

Under any circumstances, the requirements of regulations adopted at the legislative level must not be violated.

On the procedure for providing PPE

How is special clothing, safety footwear, PPE and RPE properly provided at enterprises? The support strategy is developed in normative act, the requirements of the Rules must be taken into account.

The issuance procedure is fully set out in the intersectoral Rules.

On standard standards for issuing PPE

For convenience, standard standards for issuing PPE have been developed. This document is used by experts when conducting a special assessment of working conditions. They consist of the following columns:

  • names of positions and professions;
  • list of personal protective equipment;
  • standards for issuance (once every 12 months or every 24 months, before wear, once a quarter, etc.);
  • information depending on climate zones and how much is supposed to be issued.

A number of items have notes with information about what is required additionally for certain purposes.

As a clear example, we can consider the following: a turner works on the machine equipment entrusted to him, that is, he is required to wear a cotton suit, boots or sandals, a headdress, and a protective screen. A turner cannot perform work wearing cotton knitted gloves, since he works with constantly moving open mechanisms, and gloves can get into the danger zone and the employee can get injured, but when cleaning chips, a worker cannot do without gloves, he will get hurt.

Then the note states that to clean the workplace it is necessary to provide the employee with gloves. Further, the same turner performs work on removing snow from roofs; therefore, he must be provided with warm special clothing, a safety harness, a helmet and other equipment.

That is, it turns out that the issuance of special clothing, PPE and RPE should be issued specifically to perform immediate tasks, as well as differentiated, based on what additional duties are assigned to the employee. This can be prescribed in standards, determined on the basis of workplaces by expert organizations, but they must be observed.

How is the accounting of workwear and personal protective equipment organized at an enterprise?

Although the availability and accounting of PPE is not the main goal of enterprises and organizations, it should be carefully maintained. Any inspection by government inspectors may test this issue.

If there is no efficiency when taking into account PPE, RPE and workwear, then the following questions may arise:

  • over time, unaccounted for reserves may be unclaimed in the future, since some RPE may lose their operational properties;
  • the required dimensions are not taken into account when purchasing, which ultimately leads to a shortage of the required dimensions;
  • there is no accounting for used workwear and its delivery to the warehouse;
  • no use in accordance with standard issuance standards;
  • there is no way to clearly monitor the use of PPE by workers.

These problems are automatically assigned to the occupational safety specialist.

How is workwear issued?

Organization of distribution of workwear

It is known that the same professions are found in different production sectors, but the standards for issuing are the same for all. It is important to correctly assess which PPE should be chosen for a particular employee.

When issuing workwear, certain rules should be followed, but if the employer additionally provides the employee with PPE, then he does not violate the requirements, but, on the contrary, increases the degree of protection. However, based on some criteria, it is necessary to understand in more detail whether legal requirements are being violated, otherwise the inspection authorities may also show interest in this circumstance.

If for some reason special clothing was purchased from a foreign manufacturer, then it should be checked for compliance with the requirements of Russian standards. In this case, certificates, declarations and other documents must be drawn up, the information in which must comply with the requirements of Rospotrebnadzor.

The timely issuance of PPE must be ensured by the employer in full compliance with the requirements of the regulatory framework. It is also necessary to organize points for the repair and washing of workwear and personal protective equipment at the enterprise.

To record the issue of special clothing to an employee, it is necessary to organize the work as follows:

  • create a special clothing issuance card for each employee;
  • keep records of the issuance of personal protective equipment against signature;
  • control the timely replacement of special clothing and personal protective equipment;
  • when issuing, be guided by the special assessment card for working conditions;
  • replace PPE that has expired ahead of schedule;
  • There must be certificates of conformity for workwear, footwear, PPE and RPE.

Control over the use and issuance of special clothing and personal protective equipment is assigned, as a rule, to an occupational safety engineer or another person appointed by order of the manager.

But in order not to get into trouble before the inspection authorities, the responsible employee is recommended to:

  1. Prepare a list of all working employees, and update it every month, this will make it easier to navigate who was issued what.
  2. Opposite the last name of each employee, you should indicate what exactly he is entitled to, that is, list all workwear and shoes, as well as PPE and RPE.
  3. Opposite each name of PPE it is necessary to indicate which GOST requirements apply to them.
  4. At least once a month, communicate with the supply manager to know the problem of missing personal protective equipment, how they are washed and repaired, and by what rules they are issued.
  5. When checking the issuance of personal protective equipment, you should pay attention to the presence of employee signatures, as well as the timing of issuance and compliance with the requirements of the certificates.
  6. It is also necessary to monitor the washing and repair of workwear.
  7. Monitor how workers use protective clothing when performing work.

The last point can be very difficult: it is not easy to oblige an employee to wear special clothing and PPE, since there are also opinions that not all special clothing is suitable for wearing. In this case, it is recommended to prepare a free form document stating that the employee does not wear PPE.

Initially, another measure of influence can be applied, namely: write a note about the non-use of PPE by the employee at the first stage of control, if he signs in the appropriate column, then part of the blame if an accident occurs due to non-use of PPE will be assigned to him, and if he refuses to sign, then drawing up the act will be the best solution.

The administrative document for the unit must appoint the person responsible for issuing, washing and repairing workwear, this will make it easier to monitor the implementation of this task.

If the employee is not provided with special clothing

Accident due to lack of PPE: consequences

If an employer skimps on the provision of special clothing and personal protective equipment, this may further adversely affect the activities of the enterprise. The following cases may occur:

  1. When conducting inspections, supervisory authorities impose administrative penalties. In any case, both legal and individual, namely a manager, a labor protection specialist or a household manager.
  2. If it happens, and it doesn’t matter to what degree of severity the consequences were attributed, then all documents relating to this employee are raised, including the card for issuing special clothing and PPE. Again, depending on the severity of the incident, both administrative and criminal penalties may be imposed.
  3. Inspectors also pay attention to the compliance of the issued workwear with the requirements of the certificates, as well as compliance with the deadlines for issuance and use by employees.

In this video, the engineer will talk about the protective properties of RPE, test methods and rules for selecting RPE in accordance with working conditions at the enterprise:

At construction sites and in construction departments, not only the personal health and performance of the worker, but also the lives of people on site depend on the competent implementation of labor protection and safety regulations. To prevent injuries, protect health and create comfortable and favorable working conditions for construction workers, there are special clothing and footwear, as well as personal protective equipment (PPE). The standards for issuing workwear in construction are determined by the document “Standard standards for the free issuance of certified special clothing, special footwear and other personal protective equipment (PPE) to workers engaged in construction, construction and repair work in harmful and (or) hazardous working conditions, as well as those performed under special temperature conditions or associated with pollution” (hereinafter referred to as the Standard Standards), which was approved by the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia - order dated July 16, 2007. No. 477.

General provisions

The employer's responsibility, including construction organization of any form of ownership, to provide workers with special clothing, footwear and personal protective equipment is legislatively enshrined in Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. All issuance is carried out only at the expense of the employer; in no way should employees compensate for it at the expense of their own wages.

When hiring a new employee, the employer must familiarize him with the list of protective equipment required for a specific type of work and a specific profession.

This list is formed as follows:

  • Next, according to this list, an extract from the Model Rules is generated, which must be used in the future when drawing up Personal Accounting Cards for the issuance of special clothing, footwear and other PPE. This Personal Card indicates a complete list of protective equipment required for a particular employee, and its individual metric dimensions, and the employee’s signature must be affixed confirming familiarization. The back of the Personal Card must contain information about the protective equipment issued to the employee and his signature on receipt. As a rule, when controversial situations, The State Labor Safety Inspector, without a signature on the receipt of PPE from the employee himself, considers the listed protective equipment not issued, and the employee himself as unprovided.

Can an employer change the list of personal protective equipment approved by the Model Standards? This right is enshrined in Article 221 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. The employer has the opportunity, taking into account the working conditions reflected in the workplace certification cards for working conditions, or financial position enterprises, replace some types of personal protective equipment with others that do not worsen the protection of the employee compared to the Standard Standards. Coordination with the trade union body is mandatory.
