1.5.2. Occupational disease investigation
Occupational disease investigation is conducted by sanitary and epidemiological department including experts delegated from enterprise through clinical, sanitary and hygiene analysis of working environment. Expert commission, which includes experts of prophylactic and health establishments, identifies occupational character of disease or illness. They consider both causal factors and hazards existing in workplace and also those to which employee ad been exposed before.
Every case of occupational disease is recorded in special clinical report. Final diagnosis is submitted to enterprise, sanitary and epidemiological department, within 3 days.
Having report of occupational disease director organizes investigation, which may last for 10 days. Commission including delegates from sanitary and epidemiological department (head of commission), prophylactic and health establishment, trade union, or fellowship investigates occupational disease.
Duties of commission are:
-
scheduling investigation of occupational disease;
-
disparting functions among commission members;
-
involving experts;
-
investigation of circumstances and causes of occupational disease;
-
making report that comments recommendation for preventing accidents, optimizing working environment, and employees who broke the OS standards.
Commission investigating causes of occupational disease makes report in 5 copies within 3 days after investigation is completed and forwards it to diseased person, prophylactic and health establishment and trade union. One copy is submitted to sanitary and epidemiological department to analyze and supervise implementation of recommendation.
1.5.3. Accident auditing
Transport accident, fire, explosion, accident followed by emission of strong toxic, radioactive and biological hazard, demolition of buildings and equipment are referred to technical accidents.
All technical accidents are divided into two categories.
Accident is referred to first category in case of:
-
5 fatal accidents or 10 and more injuries;
-
emission of strong toxic, radioactive and biological hazard and their distribution over the sanitary zone of enterprise;
-
10 times and more growing concentration of environment contaminant;
-
demolition of buildings, what causes high risk of injury or harm to great number of workers.
Accidents of second categories characterized by following consequences:
-
up to 5 fatal accidents or 4-10 injuries;
-
demolition of buildings, what causes high risk of injury or harm to some workers.
Accident should be immediately reported to site-manager or another officer that in turn should inform senior manager.
Director should engage accident liquidation plan, apply rescue measures and medical aid to injured workers and also inform local department of occupational safety, local executive body, civil defense staff, public prosecutions department and trade union.
Commission investigating accident identifies character of accident, looks for causal factors, discovers cases of noncompliance with OS standards, civil defense, instructions, assesses quality of construction and mounting works, poses responsibilities, recommends liquidation and preventive measures. Investigation commission should investigate accident and make report at special format within 10 days on. Director of enterprise considers investigation data to approve implementation of recommendations made by commission and poses responsibility to employees guilty in noncompliance with OS standards.
State management and supervision of occupational safety regulates commission work, investigation and implementations of recommendations.
