Abstract

The subject of the study was the indicators of occupational injuries in the context of Russian regions. The aim of the study is to analyze the state of occupational injuries in the regions of the Russian Federation. The study presents an analysis based on Rosstat data in 2019-2020, considering the contribution of certain types of economic activity to injury rates. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that in the last 5 years the rate of decline in occupational injury rates in Russia has slowed down significantly and is no longer so clearly dependent on employment rates in the economy. The scientific novelty is the grouping of the regions of the Russian Federation according to the types of economic activity prevailing in them in order to analyze their impact on the indicators of occupational injuries. The research methods are analysis, synthesis, induction and deduction, grouping and modeling. The authors developed a methodology for analyzing the state of occupational injuries in the context of the regions of the Russian Federation. In the process of developing the methodology, the types of economic activity were identified, the contribution of which to occupational injuries is at least 10%. For the country as a whole, these are manufacturing, transportation and storage, and health care activities (the share of affected people employed in them exceeds 60%). The authors compiled a list of regions of the Russian Federation, in which the rates of occupational injuries exceed national figures in all types of economic activity that dominate in terms of injuries. A comparative analysis of data on occupational injuries in 2019-2020 made it possible to assess the impact of the pandemic both on the distribution of victims by types of economic activity and on the composition of the types of economic activities that dominate in occupational injuries. The study concludes that it is necessary to consider the types of economic activity prevailing in the regions when developing state programs for Russian regions to improve working conditions and labor protection.
