Special assessment of working conditions (SOUT) - a set of measures carried out consistently in order to identify potentially harmful and (or) dangerous factors in the working environment and in the work process; Assess the level of exposure to the hazards it identifies

Federal law no. 426 provides for the introduction of a unified procedure that makes it possible to objectively identify and evaluate harmful and (or) dangerous conditions in certain workplaces.

The methodology for a special assessment of working conditions (SOUT) includes:

  • Identification of harmful and (or) dangerous factors of the work environment and work process;Carry out measurements and assessments of the levels of these factors;
  • Distribution of working conditions in the workplace by classes (optimal, admissible, harmful, dangerous);
  • Use for special SOUT assessment of production control results.
  • Identification of potentially harmful and (or) dangerous production factors are the processes of comparison and determination of the coincidence of the factors of the production environment and of the work process in the workplace with the factors of the production environment and the work process foreseen by the classifier harmful and (or) dangerous production factors;
  • The identification is carried out by an expert of the organization who carries out a special assessment of working conditions (SUT) (see comment on article 10 of the law);
  • All harmful and (or) dangerous production factors that are identified are the subject of research (tests) and measurements;
  • Studies (tests) and measurements of the actual values of harmful and (or) dangerous production factors are carried out by the testing laboratory (center), experts and other employees of the organization who conduct a special assessment of working conditions (SAUT).
  • Based on the results of the SAUT, classes (subclasses) of working conditions in the workplace are established.

Working conditions based on the degree of harmfulness and (or) danger

In four classes: optimal, permissible, harmful and dangerous working conditions.

Optimal working conditions (grade 1)

These are working conditions in which the impact on the employee of noxious and (or) dangerous production factors is absent or whose exposure levels do not exceed the levels established by the rules (hygiene standards) of working conditions and accepted as safe for humans and prerequisites are created to maintain a high level of worker efficiency.

Permitted working conditions (grade 2)

These are the working conditions in which the worker is exposed to harmful and (or) dangerous production factors, whose exposure levels do not exceed the levels established by the rules (hygiene standards) of the working conditions, and the altered functional status of the worker the body is restored during regulated rest or by the beginning of the next working day (shift).

Harmful working conditions (Grade 3)

They are working conditions in which the levels of exposure to harmful and (or) dangerous production factors exceed the levels established by the rules (hygiene standards) of working conditions.

Dangerous working conditions (Grade 4)

They are working conditions in which the employee is exposed to harmful and (or) dangerous production factors, the levels of exposure to which during the whole working day (shift) or part of it can endanger the life of the employee, and consequences of these factors cause a high risk of developing acute occupational disease during the period of work.

The legal meaning of this classification is that these results can be applied to:

  • Provide employees with personal protective equipment, as well as equip workplaces with collective protective equipment;
  • Monitor the status of working conditions in the workplace;
  • Organizations in cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation, mandatory preliminary (when applying for a job) and periodic (during work) medical examinations of employees;
  • Definition of guarantees and compensation provided for by the Labor Code of the Russian Federation for employees;
  • Establish an additional tariff for insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, taking into account the class (subclass) of working conditions in the workplace;
  • Calculation of discounts (increases) to the insurance rate for compulsory social insurance against accidents at work and occupational diseases;
  • Consideration and resolution of disagreements relating to the guarantee of safe working conditions between employees and the employer and (or) their representatives;
  • Determine the types of health and home services and medical support for employees, their volume and the conditions for their provision;
  • Take a decision on the establishment of restrictions for certain categories of employees provided for by labor legislation, etc.
