Abstract
The critical review presents an analysis of foreign studies designed to assess the state of working conditions. The aim of the work is to identify the main areas of research that can be adapted for Russian enterprises. It was found that there are several foreign instruments for assessing the state of working conditions, on the basis of which a new methodology applicable to Russian enterprises can be formed, which will greatly contribute to the prevention of accidents at the workplace.

In industrialized countries, activities aimed at preventing occupational injuries are quite successful
In Quebec, Canada, the number of cases decreased by 50,000 from 1997 to 2013 [1]. This is primarily due to the fact that the labor protection system of developed countries is focused on the prevention of accidents and occupational diseases, and in Rus-sia there is an emphasis on eliminating their consequences [2]

Others have identified it as the lack of occupational accidents and occupational diseases or injuries for a long period of time [2]. For the purposes of this study, a definition of the effectiveness of labor protection based on two specific criteria was adopted:
