The 10th Russian Labour Safety Week will be held from 15 to 18 September 2025 in Sirius. This decision was made at a meeting of the Organizing Committee of the event, which was held by Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Tatyana Golikova.
The Organizing Committee meeting was attended by Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation; Anton Kotyakov, Russian Minister of Labour and Social Protection; Veronika Skvortsova, Head of the Federal Medical and Biological Agency; Alexander Shokhin, President of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, as well as representatives of the Presidential Administration, the Government of the Russian Federation, federal and regional ministries and agencies, the Roscongress Foundation, Rostec, Rosatom, Gazprom, FNPR, and the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs.
According to Tatyana Golikova, Deputy Prime Minister and Chairman of the Organizing Committee for the Russian Labour Safety Week, the event plays a crucial role in drawing attention to modern challenges in the social and labour sphere and promoting safety at work. As part of the Week, occupational health and safety specialists have the opportunity to share best practices of promising solutions, new technologies and developments aimed at preserving the life and health of workers. “In today’s conditions, when we are experiencing a shortage of labour, we have started implementing the national Personnel project from 1 January 2025, and are resetting the education system to match the training of personnel required by the economy, the issues of occupational safety and health become one of the most important. That is why it is more important than ever to organize this event. In 2025, the 10th Russian Labour Safety Week will be held from 15 to 18 September on the federal territory of Sirius. At the same time, the scale of this event expands every year, and this year satellite events are also planned to be held in St. Petersburg and Krasnoyarsk,” said Tatyana Golikova.
Anton Kobyakov, Adviser to the President of the Russian Federation, said in his speech that the agenda of the event is becoming larger every year and raises issues not only of labour safety, but also the broader topic of social security of citizens’ lives. “Over the years, the Russian Labour Safety Week has evolved from a conference into the country’s main forum on social protection, occupational health and safety, industrial safety and other issues related to supporting people at work. The Week’s agenda is becoming more and more ambitious every year, and its international component is growing from year to year. About ten thousand participants are expected at the 10th Forum, the number of foreign guests, production, consulting companies and participants of the exhibition of manufacturers of personal protective equipment is expected to increase. It is also proposed to supplement the event programme with events in international formats with friendly countries, including BRICS countries. In addition, in the year of the 80th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, its special role will be reflected in the Week’s programme and on the Forum platform,” emphasized Anton Kobyakov.
The main strategic theme of the Week 2025 business programme will be ‘Saving People as a Guarantee of Sustainable Development’.
“In 2025, the Russian Labour Safety Week celebrates its anniversary – 10 years since the first event was held. During this time, the Forum has become an integral part of the HR agenda and has taken its well-deserved place among the country’s key business events. One of the most important goals of the national development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2030 and in the perspective until 2036 is to preserve the population, meet the needs of the labour market, as well as to fulfil the potential of each person and develop their talents. With this in mind, the theme of the Week will be ‘Saving People as a Guarantee of Sustainable Development’. The programme of the event expands every year, and new interesting tracks appear. As part of the Week, work will continue on the international track, including the BRICS Labour Safety Network,” noted Anton Kotyakov, Russian Minister of Labour and Social Protection.
Also, on the margins the Week will traditionally host a meeting of the Advisory Council on Labour, Employment and Social Protection of member countries of the Commonwealth of Independent States.
The exhibition will be expanded to include stands dedicated to industrial robotics and innovations in the field of safe labour at work. Special attention will be paid to rehabilitation and restoration of workers’ health, as well as adaptation and employment of veterans of the Special Military Operation.
With the support of Business Russia and Opora Russia, it is planned to create and launch a special track of the Russian Labour Safety Week business programme aimed at small and medium-sized businesses.
Traditionally, a Youth Day with the participation of HR specialists from major enterprises will be held as part of the Week, as well as the results of a professional skills competition in the field of social services and labour protection competitions will be summed up. Russian Labour Safety Week 2025 satellite events will be held in April in St. Petersburg and in June in Krasnoyarsk.
The Russian Labour Safety Week is organized by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection of the Russian Federation and operated by the Roscongress Foundation. Last year, the week was held from 10 to 13 September in Sirius. The official website of the Russian Labour Safety Week: rusafetyweek.com.
