Creation and Liquidation of the Labor Protection Service in Organizations of Individual Countries of the Eurasian Economic Union

Abstract

The Constitution of the Russian Federation enshrines the right of every person to health protection, which fully complies with the generally recognized principles and norms of international law. The realization of this right is carried out through, among other things, the norms of the institute of labor protection. The creation and functioning of an employer’s labor protection service, regardless of the activities carried out by it, is the key to preserving
the life and health of each employee. However, the realization of this right in many cases faces difficulties. Thus, from the perspective of modern judicial practice, the author considers problematic issues related to the creation of a labor protection service and its functioning among employers, including its liquidation. The article touches upon the problems that arise when determining the number of occupational safety specialists, taking into account the
recommendations for calculating the number. Attention is drawn to the level of knowledge of persons performing duties in the field of labor protection, provided that the employer does not have a special service or an authorized person. Taking into account the analysis and experience of individual EAEU countries in the field of creation and functioning of labor protection services, conclusions and proposals are formulated.
