Abstract

The subject of the study is the content of the mandatory requirements of the legal and regulation framework (LRF) in the field of labor protection and safety. The purpose of the paper is to assess the extent to which changes in the legal and regulatory framework of relations in the field of labor protection can influence the rate of reduction in occupational injuries, including those with fatal consequences. The scientific novelty lies in the synthesis of the LRF model in the field of labor protection and the structuring of the hierarchical architecture of the content of normative legal acts (NLA), advisory documents (safety standards, checklists, etc.), and local normative acts (LNA). The research methods are analysis, systematization, synthesis, induction, deduction, and modeling. In the course of the study, the author obtained the following results: the relationships between the elements of regulation were established when synthesizing the LRF model in the field of labor protection; within the framework of the risk-oriented approach, using the example of legal regulation when working at height, a correlation has been established between changes in mandatory requirements in occupational health and safety (OHS) rules and the level of fatal occupational injuries; a hierarchical architecture of the content of occupational health and safety requirements was proposed, which inextricably linked legal regulations (federal, regional and municipal levels), advisory documents (safety standards, checklists) and the employer’s LNAs. In the article, based on an analysis of fatal occupational injuries from 2019 to 2022, the author proposes ways to improve the model of NLAs and the architecture of the content of requirements in the field of labor protection. The research conclusions drawn on the basis of this study allow us to take a systematic and scientifically sound approach not only to the upcoming updating of NLAs and OHS in 2025-2026 but also to planning the development of new ones.
