Legislation of Russia and Kyrgyzstan in the field of safety and labor hygiene: parallels of some transformations and issues of conformity to international labor standards
The article examines the issues of conformity of Russian occupational and health legislation to the corresponding international labour standards, namely, art. 2, para. 4 and art. 3 of the European Social Charter and ILO Conventions Nos. 120, 155 and 187. In the article, the study of the issues of the compliance of the legislation of the Kyrgyz Republic with the ILO conventions on occupational safety and health issues ratified by Kyrgyzstan (Conventions Nos. 120 and 187) was carried out taking into account the Law of the Kyrgyz Republic of May 25, 2007 No. 72 and the Resolution of the Government of the KR of February 20, 2012 No. 136 Regulating transformation in the system of state inspections of the sphere of labor safety. Conclusions are drawn about the inadequacy of system of penalties of the Russian Federation and the Kyrgyz Republic for the employers’ breaches of the occupational safety and health requirements, as well as about the insufficient protection of workers for filing the complaints in cases of employers’ breaches on the matter. The necessity of forming an effective mechanism for assessing working conditions in Kyrgyzstan in accordance with paragraph 3 of Article 3 of the 2006 ILO Convention on Fundamentals of Occupational Safety and Health (No. 187) is substantiated. The serious inconsistencies of federal laws No. 421-FZ and 426-FZ with international labor standards have been revealed.
