Enterprise security and labor safety

The employer is fully responsible for control over meeting the requirements of the Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Point 2 of article 201 of the Code deals with meeting the requirements on occupational safety and security and taking measures to mitigate the violations detected.

Labor safety control on any company includes:

  • establishing system of labor safety management and implementing it in working process
  • control over meeting requirements for labor safety conditions
  • analyzing labor conditions
  • risk assessment and taking measures to prevent them

The company management’s responsibilities include establishing labor safety division or introducing office of the corresponding specialist. It is the employer who must secure safe labor conditions and protection of life and health for all employees. These responsibilities are governed by the laws. Therefore, the management must:

  • approve new and review existing rules of labor safety and security
  • control execution norms and requirements of the Labor Code
  • manage prophylactic medical examinations
  • manage insurance of employees
  • make account and investigate emergencies
  • conduct timely trainings, briefings, assessments of employees on issues of labor protection

Every company employee has the right for a safe working place which is equipped to meet all standards, but the law imposes a liability to comply with labor safety rules. Any inconsistencies, breakages, violations, accidents, and illnesses must be reported to the employer. All conditions stipulated by labor contract should agree with actual circumstances.

Labor safety arrangements on enterprises

Every existing industrial sphere is governed by the Single departmental system of labor safety management. Correspondingly, every company must have its own occupational safety and health division. Its main responsibility is to secure safe labor conditions on working places.

Their responsibilities also include:

    • enhancing existing rules of labor safety management within the company

 

  • performing tests and briefings as well as regular safety meet-ups
  • participation in investigations of accidents

Enterprise labor safety in Kazakhstan

The Labor Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan provides for safe and adequate labor conditions. This, however, does not imply that the Code is the only document which regulates labor relations. Apart from it, there are many laws, regulations, and internal rules, which are also involved in the system. Control over labor conditions is performed both at state and regional level.

Health and safe labor conditions are warranted by laws of the RoK for all employees irrespectively of ownership of the company. The employer is fully and directly responsible for controlling state of the labor protection and prophylactic measures. The governing bodies provide constant practical, methodological, and informational aid.
