PROBLEMS OF ROTATIONAL WORK ORGANIZATION IN THE NORTHERN REGION DURING THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC (ON THE EXAMPLE OF THE REPUBLIC OF SAKHA)
The article examines the current socio-economic problems of the rotational work organization in the North, using the example with the outbreak of coronavirus infection in shift camps at the Chayandinskoye field in Yakutia in April 2020. The aim of the study is to analyze the problems of the rotational organization of work in the northern region on the example of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), to identify current trends and to substantiate recommendations for reducing the negative socio-economic consequences of the rotational work method in the northern regions in the context of a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection. The drawbacks of the modern normative regulation of rotational work are demonstrated and the contradictions arising on this basis are described. It is shown that in the Arctic and northern regions, due to their inaccessibility, long distances and low population density, social and labor risks are most acutely manifested in the field of medical and social welfare provision of shift workers, and the lack of standards for providing shift camps with social infrastructure facilities leads to social insecurity of workers during the covid-19 pandemic. The need to improve the regulatory framework for interaction between municipal and regional government bodies with enterprises working on a rotational basis in the region on the issues of medical care for rotational personnel has been substantiated.
