On October 5-6 the Ministry of an agrarian policy of Ukraine carried out in the Crimea the All Ukraine seminar meeting concerning labor protection and fire safety. Representatives of the Gospromgornadzor, State Department of fire safety of the Ministry of Emergency Situations of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Social insurance fund took part in work of a seminar from accidents and occupational illnesses, research establishments, trade unions of workers of agrarian sector of economy.

For the first time for the last five years it was possible to gather to experts in questions of labor protection, fire safety and safety of traffic of managements of agroindustrial development from all areas of Ukraine, to exchange experience of labor protection and fire safety, carrying out preventive actions for decrease in industrial injuries.

It is known that from year to year the quantity injured in agrarian sector of Ukraine decreases, but its level still remains several times above, than in developed countries. In nine months of this year at the enterprises of agro-industrial complex 133 workers were lost. As specialists of the Gospromgornadzor noted at a seminar meeting, the reasons of a traumatism are violations of labor and production discipline, safety rules during operation of the equipment and absence of training on labor protection. Such situation speaks shortcomings of organizational work the enterprises. In tens of thousands of small enterprises, thousand the farms formed in each area in the course of reforming of agricultural industry, literally nullified all work on labor protection. New owners often have no concept about labor protection and are engaged in it only after when there is an accident.

The ministry of an agrarian policy tries to change a situation, recreating a branch chain of command labor protection. It is for this purpose already made much. Specialists of regional managements conduct active work on a reconstruction of established posts in regional managements. For example, in the Zaporozhye area in each of 20 areas already there is an expert in labor protection.

The ministry of an agrarian policy of AR Crimea in 2005 restored positions of experts in labor protection in the 4th regional managements (by Pervomaisk, Soviet, Razdolnensky, Krasnogvardeysky). However in Nizhnegorsky, Belogorsky, Saksky, Leninsk and Black Sea areas didn’t solve so far a question of restoration of established posts of experts in labor protection.

To organize work on safety of work on places, supply labor collectives with necessary normative documents regional experts can. However, limited in the rights and means, they often have no possibility simply to reach to the enterprise (there is no transport and travelers) or to check it (many private traders ignore such checks). But also it is possible to find solutions of problems in this situation. So, in some areas experts in labor protection of regional managements make schedules of checks together with inspectors of the Gospromgornadzor or bodies of the Ministry of Emergency Situations. Then the question is solved with transport and visit of the enterprises. Also AP AR Crimea Ministry in this way works, carrying out together with inspection and representatives of the Ministry of Emergency Situations complex checks of the regions of the Crimea.

To meet lacks of knowledge of labor protection of heads and experts of agricultural productions the Social insurance fund helps, financing their training in areas. For example, at the Zaporozhye area during occupations surely there is an expert from regional management, and heads pass examinations in labor protection.

Participants of a seminar meeting had possibility to get acquainted with the best practices of work on labor protection in some Crimean enterprises. For example, the educational and skilled breeding poultry-farming plant of Frunze National agrarian university on the basis of which the seminar was held, not only supplies Ukraine with a breeding bird, but also allocates for labor protection about 100 thousand hryvnias a year, participates in social development of the village.

Acting a seminar it is anxious spoke about out-of-date fixed assets, a residual principle of financing of labor protection, lack of the adapted regulatory base, qualified personnel, concealment of accidents etc. For the solution of these and many other problems they made offers. From them the special attention is deserved by the such: to create the industry program on labor protection and to finance it from the budget; to order and is system to update branch regulatory base on labor protection with involvement of leaders of chairs of labor protection of agrarian universities; systematically to hold seminars similar to it with obligatory participation of deputies heads of areas in them and chiefs of territorial administrations of the Gospromgornadzor.
