Data from Russian trade unions has been included in official occupational safety and health analytics for the first time.
The federal analytical report on occupational safety has, for the first time, utilized data from the Federation of Independent Trade Unions of Russia (FNPR). The Federal State Budgetary Institution "All-Russian Research Institute of Labour" of the Russian Ministry of Labour has published the analytical review "Occupational Safety in Figures" for 2024.
"The inclusion of trade union monitoring data into official state statistics is a fundamentally important step. It signifies state-level recognition of the immense work carried out daily by over 640 technical inspectors and nearly 180 thousand trade union authorized persons for labor protection," commented Alexey Bezyukov, Head of the Occupational Safety Department of the FNPR.
Trade union technical labor inspectors conducted over 21,500 inspections, identifying more than 54,000 violations. The most common violations were shortcomings in providing workers with Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) (12,324 cases identified) and in organizing mandatory medical examinations (7,897 cases).
