Issues of the state managing the labor protection in industrial regions

The analysis of the application of the program-target method in the labor protection management in coal-mining regions was carried out. Program documents (state programs, sub-programs within state programs, actions for improvement of working conditions) for coal-mining regions have a number of features caused by concentration in their territory of the enterprises with the increased level of production risks. So, in the Kemerovo region the average Russian indicator is exceeded in the share of employed at works with harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions by 1.8 times , in the level of occupational injuries by 2.1 times, (including those fatal by 1.6 times), and in the level of professional incidence by 8.5 times. In the context of the financing and the list of the actions realized within the framework of the relevant program documents the main attention (in those documents) is given to proactive measures directed to preventing occupational morbidity from industrial injuries. Despite that, among coal mining regions, the share of constituent entities of the Russian Federation in which the planned targetindicators are not reached and which also committed an increase in economic losses connected with production risks are higher than over the country in general.
