What is the purpose of workplace certification? Deadlines for workplace certification. Certification procedure according to the law

On September 1, 2011, a new Procedure for certifying workplaces based on working conditions came into force. The document describes in more detail the regulations for this complex procedure, the composition of participants, their responsibilities and requirements for them.

Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated April 26, 2011 N 342n approved a new Procedure for certification of workplaces according to working conditions (hereinafter referred to as the Procedure). It came into force on September 1, 2011.
Until this moment, the previous Certification Procedure was in effect, which was approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated August 31, 2007 N 569 “On approval of the Procedure for Certification of Workplaces for Working Conditions.”

What is workplace certification for working conditions?

Certification of workplaces for working conditions is an assessment of working conditions in the workplace. It is carried out for the purposes of:
- identification of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors;
- implementation of measures to bring working conditions into compliance with state regulatory requirements for labor protection.
This is stated in Art. 209 Labor Code.

Legal grounds for certification

Before we move on to consider the new Procedure, let us recall the provisions of the Labor Code that govern the rules and procedure for certification.

Employer Responsibilities

The employer is obliged to provide safe conditions and labor protection. In this regard, he must take certain measures, including certification of workplaces for working conditions. This is established in Art. 212 of the Labor Code.

Who sets the rules for certification?

Certification of workplaces for working conditions is carried out in the manner established federal body executive power, which carries out the functions of developing state policy and legal regulation in the field of labor (Article 209 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Such an agency today is the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation of June 30, 2004 N 321).

Note. Certification and contributions to the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation
The Russian Ministry of Health and Social Development plans to amend Art. Art. 17 and 22 Federal Law dated July 24, 1998 N 125-FZ. It is possible that employers will be required to report to the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation information about the results of workplace certification for working conditions and mandatory medical examinations of employees.

The project also provides that the amount of a discount or premium to the insurance rate will be calculated based on the results of the company’s work for three years, taking into account the state of labor protection, including the results of certification of workplaces for working conditions and mandatory medical examinations of workers. Currently, one previous year is included in the calculation.

Why is certification needed?

According to clause 3 of the Procedure, the results of workplace certification for working conditions are necessary:
- to monitor the state of working conditions in the workplace;
- application of discounts (surcharges) to the insurance premium rate in case of injury;
- preparing a name list of persons subject to mandatory medical examinations;
- providing workers with personal protective equipment;
- establishment of reduced working hours, annual additional paid leave, increased wages for employees engaged in heavy work, work with harmful and (or) dangerous and other special conditions labor;
- bringing the names of positions (professions) into line with the names specified in All-Russian classifier professions of workers, positions of employees and tariff categories etc.

Who should conduct the certification?

Employers, as before, must carry out certification, regardless of their organizational, legal forms and forms of ownership (clause 1 of the Procedure):
- legal entities;
- individual entrepreneurs.
For employers - individuals who are not individual entrepreneurs, the requirements of the Order do not apply.

When is certification carried out?

The timing of certification is set by the employer based on the fact that each workplace must be certified at least once every five years (clause 8 of the Procedure). This position remains unchanged. However, the Order now states that specified period counted from the date of completion of the previous certification. The date of issuance of the order approving the composition of the certification commission and the certification schedule is taken as the start date of the next certification.

The new Procedure states that certification of newly organized workplaces must begin no later than 60 working days after they are put into operation. Previously, paragraph 7 of the previous Procedure provided that newly created jobs were subject to certification after their commissioning.

Unscheduled certification

The concept of unscheduled certification was introduced. It is carried out (clauses 47 and 48 of the Procedure):
- when commissioning newly organized workplaces - in full;
- based on the results of the state examination of working conditions, carried out in order to assess the quality of the certification procedure;
- when carrying out measures to bring working conditions into compliance with state regulatory requirements for labor protection, as well as measures to improve working conditions;
- replacement production equipment;
- in case of changes in the technological process;
- changes in collective protective equipment.
The results of unscheduled certification are documented in general procedure. At the same time, a new certification card is created for each workplace, taking into account changes and additions (we will talk about it and other documents that need to be completed when certifying workplaces in the next issue).

Which jobs are subject to certification?

All workplaces of the company are subject to certification (clause 4 of the Procedure). However, in some cases, taking measurements, as well as assessing working environment factors and the labor process may threaten the safety of workers or specialists conducting certification.
In such situations, the certification commission makes a reasoned decision that measurements and assessments will not be carried out; the working conditions at these workplaces are considered dangerous. Such a decision is made in writing, it is signed by the members of the certification commission and attached to the certification materials.

Similar jobs. There is such a thing as similar jobs. The assessment of production factors at such workplaces is carried out on the basis of data obtained during certification of 20% of workplaces (but not less than two).

Jobs are considered similar if:
- professions or positions have the same name;
- when conducting the same type of technological process in the same operating mode, the same tasks are performed professional responsibilities;
- the same type of production equipment, tools, devices, materials and raw materials are used;
- work is carried out in one or more similar premises or in the open air;
- the same type of ventilation, air conditioning, heating and lighting systems are used;
- production equipment, vehicles and so on. located equally at the workplace;
- there is the same set of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors of the same class and degree;
- there is an equal supply of personal protective equipment (this point appeared in the new Order).
If all conditions are met, the jobs are recognized as similar. If at least one workplace is identified that does not meet the criteria of similarity, 100% of the workplaces are assessed. After this, a new list of jobs subject to certification is determined.
For similar workplaces, one workplace certification card for working conditions is filled out.
Working conditions and measures to improve them, established for at least one workplace out of 20% of similar workplaces, are the same for all similar workplaces (clause 40 of the Procedure).
Non-stationary workplaces. If the workplace is not stationary, the procedure for its certification changes somewhat.
First, typical technological operations with a stable set and magnitude of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors are determined. These transactions are then assessed. The time for completing each operation is determined by experts (based on local regulations), by interviewing employees and their immediate supervisors.

About responsibility

Now, paragraph 52 of the Procedure clearly states that responsibility for conducting certification, the accuracy and completeness of submitting information to the state labor inspectorate rests with the employer. Responsibility for the reliability of measurements and assessments lies with the employer and the certifying organization. In the previous Order there was no such norm.
Let us remind you that violation of labor and labor protection legislation threatens with administrative fines (Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). For an official it will be from 1000 to 5000 rubles. (and if he was previously subjected to administrative punishment for a similar offense, this may entail disqualification for a period of one to three years). For entrepreneurs, the fine will range from 1,000 to 5,000 rubles. or administrative suspension of activities for up to 90 days. The company may part with the amount of 30,000 - 50,000 rubles, or its activities will be suspended for up to 90 days.

Distribution of responsibilities for certification

The new Procedure more clearly distributes responsibilities for organizing and conducting certification among its participants.
Certification is carried out jointly by the employer and the certifying organization. She is attracted on the basis of a civil law agreement (clause 6 of the Procedure). Previously, the certifying organization was involved only when necessary.

Certifying commission

New order provides that certification commission created by the employer. It also determines the schedule for certification work.
Composition of the certification commission. The certification commission should consist of (clause 10 of the Procedure):
- from representatives of the employer (managers structural divisions, lawyers, HR specialists, labor and wages specialists, chief specialists, medical workers and other employees). Some of them will head the certification commission;
- occupational safety specialist;
- representative of the elected body of the primary trade union organization or other representative body of workers;
- representatives of the certifying organization. They assess the compliance of working conditions with state regulatory requirements for labor protection (clauses 14, 20 and 29 of the Procedure).
The Procedure has introduced a norm that applies to microenterprises and small businesses. If the certification is carried out by them, the composition of the certification commission may be reduced. It includes (clause 10 of the Procedure):
- employer (his representative);
- representatives of the certifying organization;
- representatives of the elected body of the primary trade union organization or other representative body of workers (if any);
- representatives of an organization or specialist engaged by the employer under a civil contract to perform the functions of a labor protection service (labor safety specialist).

Responsibilities of the certification commission. According to clause 12 of the Procedure, the certification commission must perform the following actions:
1. Provide guidance and control over the certification at all stages.
2. Form a set of regulatory legal and local regulations, organizational, administrative and methodological documents necessary for certification and organize their study.
3. Compile a list of jobs subject to certification (a sample of it is given in Appendix No. 1 to the Procedure).
4. Prepare proposals for bringing the names of professions and positions of workers in accordance with their names in the ETKS of works and professions of workers (ETKS of positions of managers, specialists and employees).
5. Assign each workplace a unique serial number (no more than eight characters).

8. Based on the results of certification, develop an action plan to bring working conditions into compliance with state regulatory requirements for labor protection. This is what it says in Art. 211 Labor Code.

Certifying organization

The new rules clearly define the requirements for the certifying organization. It may be entity, accredited in the manner established by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated April 1, 2010 N 205n.
The certifying organization must be an independent person in relation to the company at whose workplaces the certification is carried out.
The employer has the right to involve several certification organizations. The work between them can be distributed both by the number of workplaces subject to certification and by the types of work performed at the workplace.
The employer enters into an agreement with the certifying organization under which it is obliged to:
- take measurements;
- assess the compliance of working conditions with state regulatory labor protection requirements;
- draw up and prepare a certification report;
- provide, at the request of the employer, justification for the conclusions made.
When conducting certification, the certifying organization:
- determines methods for carrying out measurements and assessments, quantitative and personnel measurement and evaluation specialists;
- examines in full the documentation related to the organization of work to ensure labor safety requirements in the company at whose workplaces certification is carried out;
- requests and receives clarification from the employer (his representative) on issues that arose during the certification.
An organization may refuse to conduct certification if the employer fails to provide necessary documentation or refusal to provide the conditions for carrying out measurements and assessments required by regulatory documentation.

How is certification carried out?

The certification commission must assess the compliance of working conditions with state regulatory labor protection requirements. To do this, the following assessments are carried out sequentially:
- compliance of working conditions with hygienic standards;
- workplace injury hazards;
- provision of workers with personal protective equipment (hereinafter referred to as PPE);
- working conditions in the workplace (comprehensive).

Assessment according to hygienic standards

In this case, certifiers must evaluate all the factors of the production environment and labor process present at the workplace, characteristic of the technological process and equipment used at this place (clause 15 of the Procedure).
The list of factors of the production environment and labor process that are subject to assessment is formed on the basis of state regulatory requirements for labor protection, characteristics of the technological process and production equipment, raw materials used, the results of previously carried out measurements of indicators of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors, as well as suggestions from employees .
Instrumental measurements are used for assessment. In addition, the levels of factors of the production environment and the labor process are analyzed during the implementation of standard production (technological) processes and (or) regular activities of the organization.
The hygienic assessment of working conditions must be carried out in accordance with the document “Guide to the hygienic assessment of factors in the working environment and the labor process. Criteria and classification of working conditions” (R 2.2.2006-05), approved on July 29, 2005 by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation. According to this Guide, four classes of harmfulness and danger of workplaces are distinguished (Table 1). All data recorded during the assessment of hygienic standards is entered into a measurement and assessment protocol (we will talk about filling it out in the next issue).

Assessment of workplace injury hazards

When assessing the risk of injury in workplaces, the certifying organization examines (clause 21 of the Procedure):
1) production equipment. In particular, the presence and compliance with the standard are checked:
- a set of operational documentation;
- means of protecting workers from the impact of moving parts of production equipment, as well as flying objects;
- fencing of elements of production equipment, the damage of which is associated with the occurrence of danger, including the presence of clamps, locks, sealing and other elements, signal painting and safety signs;
- alarms for violations of the normal functioning of production equipment, emergency stop means, including the presence of devices that make it possible to eliminate the occurrence of dangerous situations in the event of a complete or partial cessation of power supply and its subsequent restoration, as well as damage to the power supply control circuit (spontaneous start when power supply is restored, failure to comply with an already issued command to stop);
- protection of electrical equipment and wiring from various types of influences;
2) devices and tools used in the implementation technological processes;
3) compliance of the training of workers on labor protection issues with the established requirements (joint Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia and the Ministry of Education of Russia dated January 13, 2003 N 1/29).
The certifying organization determines whether the above objects comply with labor protection requirements (failure to comply can lead to injury to workers), including:
- requirements for protection against mechanical influences;
- requirements for protection from electric current;
- requirements for protection from exposure to high or low temperatures;
- requirements for protection against toxic effects chemical substances.
When assessing the risk of injury to production equipment, experts analyze technical documentation, which contains safety requirements when performing work, carry out visual inspection equipment during normal operation to ensure that its condition complies with the requirements of current regulatory legal acts on labor protection.
Tools and devices are inspected and checked to ensure that their condition complies with the requirements of regulatory legal acts on labor protection.

They can also check for certificates or declarations of compliance with safety requirements.
Based on the results of the injury hazard assessment, working conditions are classified into three classes.

Assessment of workers' PPE provision

After the hygienic working conditions and the risk of injury in the workplace have been assessed, the next stage of certification begins - assessing the provision of workers with personal protective equipment.
To assess the provision of workers with personal protective equipment, specialists from the certifying organization:
- compare the nomenclatures of actually issued PPE with the corresponding standard standards free issuance PPE workers;
- check the availability of certificates (declarations) of compliance with personal protective equipment issued to employees;
- check whether the procedure for providing workers with PPE is being followed (established by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated June 1, 2009 N 290n);
- assess the compliance of issued PPE actual state working conditions in the workplace.
The workplace is considered to comply with the requirements for providing workers with PPE, provided that all requirements for the provision of PPE are met. If there are one or more non-compliances, the workplace is considered not to comply with the requirements for providing workers with PPE.
If the issuance of personal protective equipment is provided for by the standard standards for the free issuance of personal protective equipment to employees, established by law, and is required based on the actual state of working conditions, an assessment of the provision of workers with personal protective equipment is documented in a protocol for assessing the provision of workers with personal protective equipment at the workplace. Its sample is given in Appendix No. 5 to the Procedure.
To carry out certification of workplaces for working conditions, the employer should prepare a number of documents

Certification results

Based on the results of the certification, a comprehensive assessment of the state of working conditions in the workplace is made. It includes the results of all previous assessments (clause 36 of the Procedure). In table 4 on p. 102 reflects the relationship between the assessment results of each stage of certification and the final decision (clause 37 of the Procedure). Please note that the concept of “conditionally certified”, as before, does not apply.

If working conditions are classified as hazardous, the company must develop and implement a set of measures aimed at reducing the level of exposure to hazardous factors in the working environment and the work process or reducing the time of their exposure.

We report to the labor inspectorate

After certification, the employer, within 10 calendar days from the date of issuance of the order on completion of certification and approval of the certification report, must send to the state labor inspectorate in the subject Russian Federation(clause 45 of the Procedure):
- summary statement results of workplace certification for working conditions;
The company must send documents in paper and electronic media.
These documents are transmitted on electronic media by the certifying organization to the federal system for collecting, processing and storing data.
Before the new Procedure for certifying workplaces based on working conditions came into force, the employing company had to send labor inspection:
- list of certified workplaces;
- statements of workplaces of the organization’s divisions and the results of their certification;
- a summary statement of the organization’s workplaces and the results of their certification;
- information about the certifying organization.

  For the first time the Assessment Center (hereinafter referred to as the Assessment Center) as a procedure personnel work was used by AT&T in 1954 as part of a research program, and already in 1958 it began to be routinely used to assess readiness for management activities. In the 60-70s, many American companies created Personnel Assessment Centers (IBM, Standard Oil of Ohio, Sears Robux, etc.). In 1970, 100 companies had Assessment Centers, and in 1980 there were already about 2 thousand.

  Since about 1998, this technology began to be actively adapted and developed by Russian consulting companies, and since 2001 it has been widely used in Russia.

• When does an organization need a comprehensive assessment?

  The personnel certification and assessment system is an important management element by human resourses. The fundamental condition for the effective operation of the assessment system is its comprehensive nature, taking into account the variety of tasks solved by a specific organization in common system personnel management. Today, companies use two concepts: personnel assessment and certification. We'll give you the most general definition these concepts.

From January 1, 2014, in accordance with Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013, workplace certification was replaced by a special assessment of working conditions. Due to a lack of experience and the lack of necessary equipment, many enterprises do not have the opportunity to carry out certification of workplaces for working conditions on their own, so they turn to specially created services, which include the SOTARM company.

By contacting the SOTARM company for certification of workplaces according to working conditions, you can count on the following advantages:

• Exact match of test results government regulations and standards;
• Identification of all harmful factors affecting the health and safety of personnel working at their workplaces;
• Drawing up the most optimal and effective plan to improve working conditions;
• Free consultation on possible measures aimed at reducing production risks.

The importance of conducting certification work

Certification of workplaces according to working conditions in an organization is aimed at ensuring compliance of working conditions of working personnel with state requirements. Timely identification of unsafe and harmful factors allows you to reduce the risk of injury to employees, and if hazardous production is identified, compensate the employee for the harm caused to health by providing additional holidays, departure to the sanatorium, cash bonuses and other ways. An employer who has certified workplaces reduces the risks of criminal and administrative penalties in the event of industrial accidents that cause injury or death to an employee.

With the tightening of laws and increasing fines for violating the working conditions of employees, certification of working conditions is becoming increasingly relevant. By using the services of SOTARM, you will not only be able to assess the compliance of the working conditions of your employees with the required standards and norms, but also quickly develop a set of measures to improve these conditions. Also, certification of workplaces will allow you to avoid possible fines and sanctions from government agencies supervision.

The price of certification of workplaces for working conditions depends on the following factors:

· The total number of jobs in the enterprise, as well as the number of jobs that are exactly the same in terms of the functions performed;

· Features and specifics of the enterprise;

· The number of equipment used at the enterprise and their characteristics;

· Number of measured parameters during the certification process;

· The need to create a plan to modernize workplaces to ensure they comply with government regulations.

The cost of workplace certification at SOTARM is one of the most affordable, this is due to the use of highly efficient equipment and extensive experience of employees, which allows us to carry out the entire range of certification work in as soon as possible.

Our main task is to find solutions and their implementation aimed at reducing the price of automated workplaces, as well as drawing up an action plan to improve working conditions with minimal time and material costs.

Certification of workplaces according to working conditions (AWC) must be carried out at least once every five years. During the five-year period, the employer himself has the right to choose at what time it is more convenient for him to conduct the next inspection. The starting point for the new period will be the end date of the previous inspection, which is specified in the order “On completion of certification of workplaces for working conditions.” The date of the next inspection will be the date of issuance of the order “On the formation of a new commission and approval of the certification schedule.”

There is also an unscheduled certification of workplaces, which is carried out in cases where the enterprise has new workplaces, new equipment, or collective protective equipment has changed. Then, within at least 60 working days, the employer must begin certifying new jobs. Unscheduled workstation can be carried out either compulsorily or at the initiative of the employer.

The task of any enterprise is to ensure safe conditions labor of its employees, it is precisely for the organization’s compliance with these conditions that the set of labor protection documents serves. The SOTARM company provides labor safety certification services, which allows management to avoid the consequences of non-compliance with safety standards at the enterprise. All employees, as well as management, must undergo the labor safety certification procedure.

We wish you and your company new achievements and financial well-being.

Sincerely,
Head of the warehouse complex M.Yu. Chistov

From January 1, 2014, instead of workplace certification, a special assessment of working conditions was introduced, which must be carried out in accordance with Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ. Accordingly, the results of certification of workplaces for working conditions, issued after December 31, 2013, cannot be used (clause 2 of Letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated March 13, 2014 N 17-3 / B-113). Let us remind you that by virtue of Part 12 of Art. 209 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation in the old version, certification was carried out in the manner approved by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated April 26, 2011 N 342n (hereinafter referred to as the Certification Procedure). A special assessment of working conditions was previously provided for in Part 4 of Art. 58.3 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 24, 2009 as a basis for exemption from payment of insurance premiums at additional rates. Part 4 art. 58.3 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 212-FZ lost force on January 1, 2014 (subparagraph “d”, paragraph 4 of Article 13 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 421-FZ).

By analogy with the results of certification, the results of a special assessment of working conditions are used, in particular, to provide employees with guarantees and compensations provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, as well as to establish additional tariffs for insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, and calculate allowances (discounts) to the tariff of contributions for compulsory social insurance from accidents at work and occupational diseases and justification for financing measures to improve labor protection conditions (Article 7 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ).

A special assessment is carried out regarding the working conditions of all employees, except for homeworkers, remote workers and those who work for individuals who are not entrepreneurs (Article 3 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ). Special provisions are provided for state civil and municipal employees. Let us recall that in clause 4 of the Certification Procedure other exceptions were established (in particular, certification could not be carried out in relation to workplaces where employees were engaged only in working on personal computers).

The methodology for conducting a special assessment of working conditions (Part 3, Article 8 of Federal Law No. 426-FZ dated December 28, 2013) was approved by Order of the Russian Ministry of Labor No. 33n dated January 24, 2014. It establishes requirements for the procedures implemented within the framework of a special assessment: for the identification of potentially harmful or dangerous production factors, their research and measurement, the assignment of working conditions in the workplace to a certain class (subclass) and the presentation of results (clause 1 of the Methodology).

By general rule assessment of working conditions is carried out at least once every five years, if there are no grounds for an unscheduled assessment (Part 4, Article 8 and 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ). Let us note that, in accordance with clause 8 of the Certification Procedure, re-certification may not have been carried out in relation to those workplaces in which the working conditions were considered acceptable or optimal.

A significant innovation is the establishment in Art. 14 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ classification of working conditions. According to the degree of harmfulness and (or) danger, they are divided into four classes: optimal, acceptable, harmful and dangerous (classes 1, 2, 3 and 4, respectively). In turn, harmful conditions can be of four degrees (subclasses). It should be noted that this article explains exactly what working conditions apply to each class (subclass).

According to Part 2 of Art. 8 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ, a special assessment of working conditions is carried out jointly by the employer and a specialized organization that meets the requirements given in Art. 19 of this Law. Part 2 Art. 4 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ establishes the obligations of the employer, in particular to ensure that such an assessment is carried out and to provide a specialized organization necessary information, documents and information.

Let's pay attention to the following. If certification has been carried out in relation to workplaces, an assessment of working conditions may not be carried out for five years from the date of completion of certification, with the exception of cases of appointment of an unscheduled assessment (Part 4 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ). Other transitional provisions are also provided for legal entities that were accredited as organizations providing workplace certification services before January 1, 2014. Thus, they have the right to conduct a special assessment of working conditions before the expiration of those existing on the day the Federal Law entered into force dated December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ of accreditation certificates for testing laboratories (centers), but no later than December 31, 2018 inclusive (Part 1, Article 27 of the Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 N 426-FZ). The certification results are used to apply an additional tariff for insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, taking into account the class (subclass) of working conditions in the workplace. In paragraph 4 of Letter No. 17-3/B-113 dated March 13, 2014, the Russian Ministry of Labor emphasized that this is an obligation, not a right, of the insurance premium payer.

If, as a result of a workplace certification carried out before January 1, 2014, working conditions are recognized as harmful or dangerous, then an additional insurance premium rate established by Part 2.1 of Art. 58.3 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 212-FZ, in the amount of 2 to 8 percent depending on the subclass of working conditions (Part 5 of Article 15 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 421-FZ, Letter of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated April 18, 2014 N 17-3/B-171). In this regard, the Russian Ministry of Labor explained the following: if the taxpayer cannot document the subclass of hazardous working conditions, an additional tariff of 7 percent is applied to the certified workplace, which corresponds to subclass of working conditions 3.4 (clause 2 of the Letter of the Russian Ministry of Labor dated March 26, 2014 N 17-3/10/B-1579).

How are they calculated? insurance premiums at additional tariffs if the organization has current certification results for only part of the workplaces, the Ministry of Labor of Russia indicated in clause 3.5 of Letter No. 17-3/B-113 dated March 13, 2014. If, according to the results of the certification, the working conditions of the employee engaged in the work specified in sub. 1 - 18 p. 1 tbsp. 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ, are recognized as harmful and dangerous, then insurance premiums are charged at additional rates provided for in Part 2.1 of Art. 58.3 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 212-FZ. If working conditions are recognized as optimal or acceptable or there are no workplace certification results, then insurance premiums are charged at additional rates provided for, respectively, Part 1 or 2 of Art. 58.3 of the Federal Law of July 24, 2009 N 212-FZ.

In addition, in paragraphs 7 and 8 of this Letter, the Russian Ministry of Labor answers the question of how to determine the amount of insurance premiums for additional tariffs for part-time employment individual for a month at work under clause. 1 - 18 p. 1 tbsp. 27 of Law N 173-FZ with different classes (subclasses) of working conditions. In such a situation, insurance premiums are charged for each additional tariff in proportion to the number of days (hours) worked at the relevant workplaces in the total number of days (hours) (including work overtime, on weekends, holidays) in a given month. The insurance premiums under consideration are accrued for the entire amount of payments and rewards accrued in favor of of this employee within a month, regardless of for what periods payments are made.

If specialized organizations accredited to conduct certification of workplaces include testing laboratories(centers) whose accreditation certificates expire in 2014, these companies can conduct assessments without taking into account the requirements regarding the number and composition of experts until December 31, 2014 inclusive (Part 2 of Article 27 of Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 426 -FZ).

The Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses has also been supplemented with new norms. Part 2 Art. 5.27.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for the liability of the employer for violating the procedure for conducting a special assessment of working conditions at workplaces or for failing to conduct it. In this case, a measure is applied in the form of a warning or a fine (in particular, for legal entities - from 60 to 80 thousand rubles). The responsibility of a specialized organization for violating the procedure for conducting a special assessment of working conditions is established by Art. 14.54 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation. The changes made to the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Offenses will come into force on January 1, 2015 (Part 2 of Article 15 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 N 421-FZ).

In addition, it should be added that the costs of conducting a special assessment of working conditions are not taken into account for the purposes of the simplified tax system (Letter of the Ministry of Finance of Russia dated June 30, 2014 N 03-11-09/31528 (sent by Letter of the Federal Tax Service of Russia dated July 30, 2014 N GD-4-3/ 14877)). The position of the financial department is not indisputable. For more details, see New documents for accountants. Issue dated 08/20/2014.

We also note that these expenses can be reimbursed from the contributions for injuries accrued to the Federal Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation (clause 3 of the Rules financial security preventive measures to reduce industrial injuries and occupational diseases of workers and sanatorium-resort treatment of workers engaged in work with harmful and (or) dangerous production factors (approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 10, 2012 N 580n as amended by Order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated February 20, 2014 N 103n)).

Hello! In this article we will look at the procedure for certifying workplaces based on working conditions.

Today you will learn:

1. What is certification, what is the procedure and stages of its implementation;
2. What are the dates and validity period;
3. What's new in 2019;
4. Where the research results can be useful and which companies are doing this.

Certification, what is it

This concept is from the section labor legislation. Indicates matching detection environment and other factors at a person’s place of work, labor safety standards, for harmful and dangerous indicators.

If these factors are detected, the employer is obliged to develop an algorithm of actions to bring working conditions closer in accordance with these standards.

The phrase “job certification” was actively used until 2013; already in 2014, the definition of “special assessment” came to replace it.

The very concept and rules for its implementation are supported by Federal Law No. 426 of December 28, 2013. The main thing in this action is a set of techniques for detecting and assessing the harmfulness and danger of production indicators and the degree of their impact on human health.

Why is certification needed and is it needed at all? This procedure is carried out to divide all production factors into classes and subclasses according to the degree of negative impact on human health.

This division plays a big role in the lives of many workers. Employees engaged in the labor process with negative working conditions can count on a reduction in their length of service in order to receive a pension and receive benefits.

Certification allows you to give a full assessment of each workplace from several sides, its goals:

1. Assess the degree and level of how factors in the working environment influence a person.
2. Identify the severity and intensity of individual production cycles on the employee’s health.
3. Determine the level of injury and its safety.
4. Determine the provision of special clothing for each hired employee for life-threatening jobs.

The result of such an assessment is the completion of a certification card, which forms the basis for the development of measures to reduce injuries at the enterprise.

Who is subject to special assessment of working conditions?

Special certification of workplaces applies to all categories of employers.

These include:

• regardless of the type of property;
• Commercial firms;
• Budgetary institutions;
• with at least one employee on staff.

Only individual entrepreneurs who do not have employees, as well as individuals who have civilian employment, but do not register them properly, are not subject to this procedure.

Payment to specialists conducting certification is made only from the accounts of enterprises and institutions that have undergone such verification, as specified in Labor Code, Art. 212.

Procedure for certification of workplaces

The process of determining the level of occupational hazards can be carried out in several ways:

1. It is carried out only at the expense of the employer. Large enterprises can do this.
2. The entire range of work is carried out by a third-party company, whose competence is the certification of workplaces. It must be certified and have the appropriate license.
3. Conducted jointly. Financial and preparatory work is carried out by specialists of the audited organization, and measurements are carried out by a third-party company.

All of the listed works are regulated by the “Regulations on the Rules for Certification” adopted by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs. development of the Russian Federation and entered into force on July 1, 1997. Amendments were made only on September 1, 2008.

The entire special assessment process can be represented in several stages:

1. Preparation for assessment work.
2. The main one, which lies in the verification itself.
3. Final, development of final documents with records of the results of all research
4. Evaluation of the results obtained during the procedure.
5. Preparation for certification of the organization based on the results of the audit.

Let's look at each stage in more detail.

Preparation

The head of an institution that is subject to a special assessment of workers appoints his employee as the chairman of the commission. He, in turn, selects his team. Basically, a person responsible for occupational safety and health at work is appointed to the position of chairman; this may be an occupational safety engineer (OHS).

In any company or organization, the certification commission includes:

• OT Engineer;
• HR employee;
• Mechanic;
• Electrician or power engineer;
• Payroll accountant;
• Honey. worker;
• Member of a trade union organization;
• Technologist.

The number of people can be determined individually; such a rule is not specified in regulations by assessing conditions.

Such a composition can be observed in small institutions, and in large companies such commissions should be present in all individual divisions with a central commission at the head.

Each list of employees for workplace certification is approved by order on the main activity, indicating the full name, position of the chairman and members of the commission, as well as the timing of the inspection.

All representatives undergo training. To do this, the chairman must invite a specialist regional organization according to OT, for carrying out methodological lessons. The seminar can last for two days.

The next action on the part of the commission is to develop a schedule of events. On at this stage the timing and stages of certification are determined, indicating authorized persons.

Next, a list of workplaces that are subject to assessment is determined, indicating harmful and dangerous factors for the main measurements. When compiling the register, workers rely on the “General Classification of Occupations” and identify the types of work that are most susceptible to the negative impact of factors.

They mainly refer to employee complaints, for example, lack of air ventilation in the room, vibration, loud noise.

Documenting The list is presented in the form of a table and plays an important role in the overall certification procedure, since it determines the scope of the entire certification work.

And the last step of this stage is the collection and systematization of complete information about each workplace, its environmental factors, as well as preparation regulatory framework regulating the special assessment of the risk of injury to a person and the provision of personal protective equipment (PPE).

Main stage

Certification is aimed at identifying the compliance of work factors with state occupational safety standards in a number of areas:

• Compliance with hygiene standards;
• Risk of injury in the workplace;
• Availability of protective clothing, gloves, boots, respirators, and goggles for workers;
• Comprehensive assessment of all conditions.

The assessment, according to hygienic criteria, takes into account all hazardous and harmful factors, degree of severity, tension. It can also be biological, physical, chemical factors. It is carried out with special measuring instruments. The results identified as a result of measurements are documented in a protocol.

The protocol includes the following data:

1. Date of measurements.
2. Identification of the unit being assessed.
3. Name of measuring instruments.
4. Name of the factor being measured.
5. A drawing of the room in which measurements were taken indicating the exact location.
6. Standard value of the measured factor for further comparison.
7. Autograph of the person responsible for the measurement.
8. Stamp and signatures of employees third party organization, if one is involved.

Only specialized companies own measuring instruments, and the risk of injury is checked by specialists from their own commission.

When assessing injuries, power, machine tools, accessories and working tools, special clothing, timeliness of instruction are checked, as well as their compliance with regulatory standards and the availability of safety certificates for automated mechanisms.

When assessing PPE, the correctness and complete provision of workers with them at each workplace is checked. Before assessing the availability of PPE, the commission must study and draw up protocols for the above stages in order to determine what equipment is necessary to have at the enterprise and whether they are fully available.

The outcome of the job evaluation must be recorded. Based on the data obtained and comparing them with standards, the class, subclass of difficulty of being in the workplace, the hazard class, and the compliance of the place of work with safety standards are determined.

All research results are recorded in a special map, on the basis of which an action plan to improve the climate in the workplace is developed.

Attestation card

The map is a final document that confirms the actual situation at each certified site, current benefits and compensation for employed people, standards for issuing personal protective equipment, and a number of measures to eliminate or minimize undesirable performance indicators.

With the help of the assessment document, places are identified that have not passed the assessment, that is, do not meet safety standards, and a list of poor indicators in production is determined, which are subsequently used when applying for a position, in order to inform the person about the conditions of future work.

Final

Involves preparing output documents:

1. A register of workplaces with the results of inspections separately by structural units and as a whole, indicating the number of workers and the provision of their special clothing.
2. Protocols for compliance with various OT requirements.
3. Work plan to eliminate identified violations.

All documents must be signed by the commission members and the chairman. The results of the certification should be communicated to the entire team, with the deadlines for completion announced. The results of such verification are stored for 45 years and are strict reporting forms.

What work must be certified

Mandatory assessment is carried out for compliance with safety standards when using manual mechanisms, automated devices and equipment that may be exposed to harmful and dangerous factors.

Such criteria do not apply to a special assessment of working conditions; it has no restrictions. That is, it is carried out regardless of the above indicators.

Until 2014, remote workers or homeworkers were subject to certification. And what about office workers? Today, Law 426 provides for the assessment of a workplace office worker on a universal basis.

Certification terms

According to the rules of mandatory certification, testing to ensure that working conditions comply with safety standards is carried out once every 5 years. But there are times when an unscheduled inspection is coming, which can be carried out ahead of schedule.

1. An unscheduled revaluation may be associated with the commissioning of new production facilities, which leads to the attraction of new work force, changes in production technology and the emergence of new working factors.
2. Another point for unscheduled inspection may result in an accident or occupational disease, which were obtained in the presence of harmful and dangerous factors.
3. At the request of the labor inspectorate.
4. At the request of employees and representatives of the organization's trade union.

In general, the average duration of certification is five years.

Innovations in 2019

Radical changes took place in 2014. According to the law, the name of the procedure has changed. Previously, certification of workplaces, now the concept of special assessment of working conditions is used.

Since 2015, all employers have been required to report on a special assessment to the Social Insurance Fund authorities in order to assign a class of conditions, which is necessary for submitting reports to the Pension Fund authorities.

Those organizations that were certified before 2017 must be recertified until December 31, 2018.

According to a letter from the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation, such certification should be considered invalid and currently it is necessary to undergo a special assessment of working conditions for compliance with hygiene and injury safety standards.

However, not all companies rushed to comply with the requirements of the Federal Law on time. Information about violators is currently summarized in electronic format and is under analytical review by inspectors from the Prosecutor's Office of the Russian Federation and State Inspectorate on labor, which will allow, in the future, to apply penalties to entrepreneurs without going to the “place”.

The fines are now significant:

If an accident occurs at the workplace and a special assessment has not been carried out, the employer becomes guilty and is subject to a fine of up to 400,000 rubles. A more deplorable outcome may occur, such as imprisonment or forced labor.

In any case, certification of workplaces for working conditions must be carried out.

Where are certification results used?

As already noted, the results of the special assessment since 2015 are reflected in the report of the social insurance fund in the form. FSS specialists decided to raise or discount the percentage of injury tax.

This column, which reflects the number of workplaces that have been tested for harmfulness and danger, has so far been called the certification of the organization’s workplaces, but it is only a matter of time; perhaps it will be renamed a special assessment.

For pension fund these results also play an important role. There is a table of classes and subclasses of conditions, according to which wages pests are charged additional insurance premiums. tariff. The tariff can vary from 0 to 8%.

Employees for whom accountants submit name lists to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation indicating benefits for each employee may retire early.

For example, boiler room operators (stokers), electric and gas welders, and other professions according to workplace certification.

According to the established categories, the employer is obliged to conduct regular medical examinations of its workers, improve the quality of their work by introducing new personal protective equipment, and provide them with benefits.

Organizations licensed to conduct workplace certification

In Russia, in every region there are organizations that specialize in conducting special assessments. They can conduct a full inspection, or they can only take measurements. Who carries out certification of workplaces in Russia?

For example, in Moscow and the Moscow region there are about 94 such firms.

Among them are the most popular:

• ATON ECO-safety and labor protection;
• SOKRON;
• Workplace Certification and Occupational Safety and Health Service;
• Tekhnometr LLC.

And this is not the whole list. The most optimal conditions are offered by the company Glavpromekspertiza LLC, the most widespread company on the market for such services. It has proven itself not only in the Moscow region, but also in other regions of the country. The activity has been carried out for 15 years. The main advantage is the low cost of workplace certification, the latest measuring equipment, qualified specialists in their field with higher education.

The Mercis company provides a full range of labor assessment services. Capable of conducting microbiological tests. Low prices and a constant system of discounts on services attracts organizations more and more. Serves the city of St. Petersburg and surrounding regions.

AKTSOT LLC, this company has established itself in the market for labor assessment services in the Altai Territory. A very popular company, it takes a flexible approach to each organization, that is, it can adapt to any conditions for certification, and will conduct the assessment in the shortest possible time with minimal paperwork.

To choose the most suitable company, you need to study in detail the complete information about the company, reviews, certifying documents.

Why is workplace certification needed? Certification of workplaces according to working conditions is an assessment of working conditions at workplaces, which is carried out to identify harmful or dangerous production factors and bring working conditions into compliance with state regulatory requirements for labor protection. The established classes (subclasses) of working conditions affect not only the amount of additional contributions to the Pension Fund, but also the amount of guarantees and compensation provided to employees in accordance with the Labor Code of the Russian Federation.

From 01/01/2014, the concept of “job certification” was replaced by the term “special assessment of working conditions” or “special assessment of working conditions”. And if earlier the issues of workplace certification were regulated by Order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development dated April 26, 2011 No. 342n, now the special assessment is carried out in accordance with Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 No. 426-FZ.

But given that the certification of jobs and their special assessment are essentially the same thing, despite the replacement of the term “certification” with the term “special assessment” in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, these concepts are often still used as equivalent. The concepts of “special assessment” and “certification” will be used as synonyms in our consultation.

Is workplace certification mandatory or not?

The Labor Code of the Russian Federation provides that the employer is obliged to ensure a special assessment of working conditions in accordance with the legislation on special assessment (Part 2 of Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation). Therefore, a special assessment is mandatory in relation to the workplaces of all employees, except (Part 3 of Article 3 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 426-FZ):

• homeworkers;
• remote workers;
• employees who joined labor Relations with individual employers who are not individual entrepreneurs.

Absolutely all employers are required to conduct a special assessment before December 31, 2018 (Part 4 of Article 8, Part 6 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 426-FZ).

If before 01/01/2014 the employer carried out certification of workplaces according to the old rules, he may not conduct a special assessment of working conditions in relation to such workplaces for 5 years from the date of completion of the last certification (Part 4 of Article 27 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 426 -FZ). This rule does not apply to cases where the employer has an obligation to conduct an unscheduled special assessment (for example, when commissioning newly organized workplaces, upon receiving an order from a state labor inspector, or when replacing production equipment that may affect the level of exposure to harmful or hazardous factors) ( Article 17 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 426-FZ).

We talked in more detail about the procedure for assessing working conditions and certifying workplaces in a separate article.

Job certification: for how many years is it valid?

In general, a special assessment of working conditions in the workplace is carried out at least once every 5 years. This period is calculated from the date of approval of the report on the special assessment (Part 4 of Article 8 of Federal Law No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013). Thus, the validity period of certification (special assessment) of jobs, as a general rule, is 5 years.
