Labor protection instruction for office workers determines the procedure for the actions of office personnel in various work situations. What to consider when developing in order to ensure comfortable and safe working conditions at the enterprise, we will tell in our article.

Why do we need safety instructions

Organizations and individual entrepreneurs that employ workers must provide them with safe working conditions. The obligations of employers in the field of labor protection are listed in Art. 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. One of them is the development and approval of rules and instructions for labor protection.

Important! Each employer must understand that the life and health of employees is the main value, and only then ask themselves the question of responsibility for the lack of documentation on labor protection.

The presence of rules of safe behavior in the workplace disciplines the staff and at the same time speaks of the reliability of the employer and the company's loyalty to employees.

Both employers and employees have obligations to comply with labor protection rules. The main duties of employees are listed in Art. 214 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, according to which all employees, including the manager, must be trained in safe ways of working and periodically pass a knowledge test on labor protection. The presence of instructions on labor protection helps to ensure compliance with labor laws.

Read about other obligations of the employer in the field of labor protection in the articles:

  • ;
  • .

The labor protection system is complex and regulated by a large number of regulations. Labor protection instructions are part of a set of documents that should be in every enterprise. These documents are actively reviewed in the following cases:

  • during an inspection by a labor inspectorate, which can be either scheduled or sudden (in connection with a complaint from company employees about violations of labor protection rules);
  • if an accident has occurred;
  • when preparing a set of documents for entry into self-regulatory organizations;
  • participating in various tenders.

Important! If in the first 2 cases the audit reveals the absence of labor protection instructions, then a penalty may be imposed on the enterprise and officials in accordance with Art. 5.27.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, which entered into force on January 1, 2015.

The specified article of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for a fine for an enterprise in the amount of 50,000 to 80,000 rubles, and for officials - from 2,000 to 5,000 rubles. If the violation of labor protection legislation is repeated, the official may be disqualified for a period of 1 to 3 years or fined from 30,000 to 40,000 rubles. A legal entity faces a suspension of activities for up to 90 days or a fine of 100,000 to 200,000 rubles.

In order to draw up high-quality instructions for labor protection, it is necessary to understand the specifics of each type of work at the enterprise.

The specifics of labor protection in the office

The main task in compiling an instruction on labor protection is to reflect a set of rules to avoid the negative impact of possible dangerous and harmful factors identified in the process of a special assessment of working conditions.

Read about the nuances of conducting a special assessment of working conditions in the article “How is a special assessment of working conditions (nuances) carried out?” .

First of all, the work of an office worker is connected with a personal computer and other office equipment, so there is enough attention in labor protection instructions for office workers should be given to electrical safety.

In addition, the following harmful and dangerous factors affect the office employee:

  • electromagnetic radiation;
  • long static loads;
  • emotional stress;
  • falling objects from a height;
  • traumatic surface of furniture and office equipment.

A complete list of hazardous production factors can be found in the article.

Occupational safety of an office employee consists not only in preventing exposure to harmful and dangerous factors, but also in observing the internal labor regulations approved by the enterprise.

Important! Legislative norms on labor protection for an office employee are prohibited from working at a personal computer for more than 50% of the working time. If it is impossible to ensure such a mode of work of the personnel, the employer is obliged to conduct medical examinations at his own expense when hiring and then send employees for medical examinations at least once every six months.

Understanding the specifics of the activities of office workers, you can begin to draw up instructions on labor protection.

The main sections of the instructions for labor protection

Methodological recommendations for the development of labor protection instructions were approved by the Ministry of Labor and Social Development in 2004. The recommendations contain a sample instruction, which includes the following sections:

  1. General issues of labor protection. This section describes all harmful and dangerous factors, lists the employee's obligations to comply with labor protection rules, contains information on protective equipment.
  2. Work safety before starting work. This part of the instruction describes the sequence of actions for an employee to prepare the workspace for the safe performance of work.
  3. Occupational safety during work.
  4. Actions in emergency situations. Particular attention should be paid to the actions of the employee to notify management and colleagues about the need for evacuation.
  5. Occupational safety at the end of work. The section contains a sequence of control actions at the end of the working day.

Each employee must be familiar with the instruction on labor protection against signature. Occupational safety instructions should be located in any place accessible to employees.

Results

The development of labor protection instructions is an important part of the activities carried out by the employer in order to prevent the impact of hazardous and harmful factors on the health of workers. However, it can be said with confidence that labor protection not only reduces the likelihood of injury and illness to personnel, but also contributes to the creation of comfortable working conditions, thereby increasing labor productivity.

The choice remains with the employer: to pay fines or to ensure the loyalty and high efficiency of the company's personnel by carrying out a set of labor protection measures.
