“The Russian Labour Safety Week has not been held for 18 months. Over this time, we have run into multiple issues that we need to discuss together face to face. Of course, the changes to the Labour Code that enter into effect on 1 March 2022 will be the main topic. Public officials will comment on these amendments during the sessions of the business programme. Other important topics include the future of the labour market, employment changes, and new challenges in the occupational health and safety,” said First Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Protection Alexey Vovchenko.
The four days of the Russian Labour Safety Week will offer over 100 events. The key events of the business programme will be the plenary session on ‘Safeguarding Occupational Health: New Challenges, Rapid Solutions’ and the international conference entitled ‘Foresee, prepare and respond. Investing in a sustainable occupational safety system’. The following agencies will hold their own meetings on occupational health and safety: the Ministry of Labour, EMERCOM, Rostrud (the Federal Service for Labour and Employment), the Pension Fund, and the Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation. Other events will include discussions on occupational health and safety in metallurgy, coal mining, oil and gas industry, energy industry, chemical industry, services, and transport.
Participants will address new technologies and digital solutions in industrial operations, ways to organize trade unions, training programmes, occupational health and safety in creative industries, and many other topics.
