COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF PROGRAMS FOR THE IMPROVEMENT OF WORKING CONDITIONS AND SAFETY IN COAL MINING REGIONS

The comparative analysis of implementation of programs for the improvement of working conditions and safety in coal mining regions of the Russian Federation is carried out from standpoints of size of finance and sourcing, target values and main program procedures. The program documents (governmental programs, subprograms within the governmental programs, measures toward improvement of working conditions) in coal mining regions have some distinctive features governed by elevated concentration of risk production in these areas. For example, in the Kemerovo Region, percentage of employees at work under harmful and (or) hazardous conditions exceed the average value in Russia by 1.8 times, the rate of industrial injuries— by 1.6 times and occupational morbidity— by 8.5 times. The program documents, judged from finance and list of measures to be implemented, prefer preventing occupational morbidity and industrial injuries. Notwithstanding, amongst the coal mining regions of Russia, the proportion of subjects which fall behind the target values and permit increased economic loss due to industrial hazards is higher than in the country in whole.
