One of the main areas of occupational safety management is ensuring safety in the area where a person’s work is directly related to a certain risk to his health and/or life.
These are, first of all, types of professional occupations due to the performance of which the employee is exposed to danger during the performance of his work and functional duties. Carrying out such activities may result in deterioration of the employee's health or injury.
That is, for example, work at height or activities related to labor in mines should be regulated at the level of the entire state by regulatory legal acts.
Definition of hazardous work
From March 1, 2020, GOST 12.0.004-2015 began to be applied. This document does not define high-risk work. However, it has been established that work performed in areas of possible or constant action of hazardous production factors is considered dangerous. At the same time, the indicated factors are not related to the nature of the work performed. That is, if, for example, a person works on a tower crane while building a house, then such a factor as “height” is a dangerous production factor.
Note that before starting high-risk work, the manager is required to develop and then implement additional safety measures for each specific production operation.
High-risk work does not include emergency situations.
Dangerous professions
So what professions involve dangerous work?
- Autoclave operator, asphalt concrete worker.
- Driller, blaster, vulcanizer.
- Diver.
- Hydromonitor, flaw detector, insulator.
- Caisson man, stoker, acid-resistant man.
- Blacksmith, fireman.
- Roofer.
- Machinist, assembler, slinger.
- Driller, stem.
- Etcher.
- Electrician, electrician, electrician.
And this is not the entire list of such professions. Each of them is dangerous in its own way. For some, work is carried out at dizzying heights, for others it involves hazardous chemicals.
What jobs are considered high-risk?
The list of high-risk work performed by employees of a particular organization depends on the specifics of the activities carried out by this organization. For example, in construction, high-risk work has one specificity, and in waste disposal, it has another specificity. Therefore, high-risk work and the organization of its implementation will differ in each specific case.
There is no exhaustive list of high-risk jobs. Therefore, here is a sample list:
- earthen in the area where underground gas and oil pipelines, energy networks and other similar underground facilities and communications are located;
- for digging trenches, pits deeper than 1.5 m;
- dismantling of structures and buildings;

List of working conditions with increased danger
According to current legislation, increased working conditions are:
- The work is top notch.
- Installation and dismantling of buildings, structures and their parts.
- Blasting and diving works.
- Work in electrical shops.
- Gas hazardous services (for example, installing a plug on a gas pipeline).
- Installation of power lines (as well as dismantling).
- Production related to the use of load-lifting cranes in places where there are many power lines and other electrical installations.

- Work near flammable or combustible liquids.
- Glass melting.
- Chemical cleaning of equipment.
- Drilling of the wells.
- Installation of metal coatings.

This is not the entire list of high-risk industries. In addition, even the entire list contains certain vague concepts, according to which it is necessary to determine whether there is a danger during the performance of a particular type of work on the spot, that is, in each specific case, taking into account the situation and conditions of production or performance of the functional duties of workers.
High-risk work without permission is not allowed
Work with increased danger must be carried out in accordance with the work permit. The permit is issued immediately before the start of such work. A work permit is an assignment for the execution of work. The document is drawn up on a special form. It must indicate:
- content of work;
- their location;
- start and end time;
- conditions for safe work performance;
- persons responsible for safety;
- brigade composition.

Aimed at creating value or satisfying one's needs. Sometimes this is associated with a risk to life and health. Such work requires special permission and compliance with appropriate safety measures. Next, we will consider what is included in the list of types of work and professions of increased danger and their features.
Admission procedure
For certain types of hazardous conditions, a permit must be issued. This type of document establishes the content of these actions, the deadline for their implementation, the composition of the team that performs them, and also indicates the persons responsible for compliance with safety rules.
The permit is issued in accordance with a certain form. It is issued only for the period necessary to carry out these works.
When issuing a permit, a safety briefing for the entire team is required. It is issued in several copies:
- In two, one of which should be with the employee directly, and the other with the manager who is responsible for safety.
- Three, if the work is carried out on the territory of an existing enterprise. Then the third copy is given to the employee of this enterprise.
Any changes to the terms and conditions must be reflected in the relevant document.
general information
In any organization or enterprise there are types of activities that require special attention and approach, namely: high-risk work. Let's give them a definition.
Types of work in which an industrial hazard or the possibility of such may arise, regardless of the nature of the work. Occupational hazards are conditions under which there is a possibility of mechanical or chemical exposure to a worker when interacting with an object or things that have hazardous properties. A dangerous source includes natural forces that a person cannot resist.
From this we can conclude that the work may be of increased danger due to the nature of the material object at the time of its use or because of the nature of the work being done.
Therefore, when such types of work are to be carried out, it is necessary to adhere not only to safety conditions, but also to take additional measures that are developed for each production operation.

Rules for admission to hazardous work
Each enterprise has a list of high-risk work according to the work permit. Below are the rules that must be followed.
The responsible person is obliged to carry out the following actions:
The work contractor must perform the following duties:
- Check the availability of tools and protective equipment, as well as the preparation of the workplace and compliance with safety regulations.
- Determine each team member his workplace.
- Constantly be present during the work and monitor it taking into account safety standards.
- Do not allow team members to disturb the work and leave the work area.
- Take the team out for a break.
- Upon completion of the work, the work permit is signed and handed over to the responsible manager.
Carrying out work without a work permit
The legislation establishes a strict prohibition against working without the act in question. Once a person is given training, it provides them with information on how to work safely and protect themselves from hazards at work. Also, receiving this act helps to group moments of organizational and verification type.
If a company allows a citizen to work without the act in question, this indicates the possibility of applying penalties or termination of activities against it. Urban planning legislation states that upon the first such violation, a sanction of up to fifty thousand rubles is applied to the organization.
When this case has a fixed value, the enterprise is placed under special control. This is handled by Rostechnadzor. It is possible to file a complaint against a company that carries out activities without obtaining a permit or does not comply with the requirements of safety rules, not only by inspection bodies, but also by employees who demand compensation for moral damage.
Responsible persons
If it is necessary to issue a permit and perform work of increased complexity and danger, then, as a rule, the following persons are appointed as responsible persons:
- persons who issue permits;
- work managers;
- performers of work.
The manager himself can issue permission to perform a dangerous type of activity, thereby combining responsibilities. The manager can also be a responsible executive.
The contractor may be:
- foreman;
- master;
- brigade members.
Performers and managers, if their work involves danger, must have occupational safety certification.
Permission orders can be issued by persons who are authorized in accordance with the order. The list of high-risk work is certified by the chief manager of the enterprise.
Responsibility
If we talk about responsibility for organizing combined work, then it rests mainly with the head of the general contracting organization. In any work involving hazardous factors, there is a person responsible for organizing safety during the performance of work functions by employees.
These are team leaders, persons issuing work permits (if the unit/team employee is innocent of violating production safety), department heads, persons who have not complied with the work safety requirements.
Thus, any production associated with the implementation of dangerous labor functions must be regulated in detail not only by legislative acts, but also by local acts of enterprise management, as well as work permits.
Limits of responsibility
The responsible manager is responsible for:
- implementation of safety precautions;
- qualifications of the performer and team members;
- for access to the place of work.
The work contractor is responsible for:
- implementation of safety precautions by team members;
- for the safety of work;
- for the correct use of personal protective equipment;
- following the production process;
- maintaining discipline.
Work performers are responsible for:
- compliance with safety regulations;
- accurate implementation of instructions from responsible persons;
- mandatory use of personal protective equipment;
- compliance with production processes;
- compliance with technological discipline.
Security organization procedure
High-risk work involves the presence of a dangerous zone for people. For example, dismantling buildings or working with electrical equipment and acids. Therefore, even before work is carried out, hazardous areas must be clearly identified.
These are considered:
- The area near uninsulated live parts of equipment.
- Distance up to 2 meters from unfenced height differences of 1.3 meters or more.
- Plots next to a building under construction.
- Areas near structures that are being worked on.
- Territories of movement of machines, mechanisms, equipment.
- Areas over which loads are moved by a crane.
- Territories with equipment containing toxic, radioactive, chemical, flammable, hazardous substances.
- Places that contain chemical, hazardous, highly concentrated, harmful solutions that exceed permissible levels.
To prevent persons who are not involved in the work from entering hazardous areas, fences are installed. This is reflected in the admission certificate. The limits of hazardous areas are indicated in special tables. If there are none, they are installed by those responsible for organizing the work.
Professions of workers associated with hazardous working conditions
Professions that involve performing hazardous work include:
- Car driver.
- Electric and gas welder.
- A carpenter.
- Locksmith.
- Truck crane operator.
- Elevator.
- Firefighter.
- Forest feller.
