The business program of the XI All-Russian Occupational Safety Week (VNOT) has been published. This year, the focus is not only on occupational safety and industrial security issues but also on the synergy of human capital, digitalization of occupational health, and market adaptation to new economic realities. The program includes more than 130 sessions and discussions involving leaders and specialists from federal and regional authorities, leading employers, representatives of trade unions, and the scientific and expert community to develop consolidated solutions on pressing issues of ensuring safe working conditions and preserving workers’ health. The program can be viewed on the website https://rusafetyweek.com.
The main topic of the forum and the plenary session is “Socially oriented technologies – a tool for achieving national goals.” At the plenary session, participants will discuss technologies that improve the quality of life and work, as well as how their implementation can ensure human well-being, making it the top priority.
“Our main national goal is the preservation of the population, strengthening health, and improving people’s well-being. And one of its most important aspects is the health of the working person. This year, we are paying special attention to maintaining the cognitive health of workers in the digital environment. We are implementing technologies that allow managing these loads, preventing professional burnout, and maintaining productivity. We are paying great attention to preventive measures – providing personal protective equipment. And it has become easier to receive assistance from the state thanks to the implementation of social treasury. Thus, technologies are becoming not just tools to increase labor productivity, but catalysts for qualitative changes in management,” noted Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova.
The plenary discussion will cover topics such as the implementation of technologies in various aspects of the social and labor sector, the development of occupational medicine, and the creation of safe and comfortable working conditions in the most remote corners of the country.
“The theme of the All-Russian Labor Protection Week expands annually. Issues of worker protection cannot be limited to a set of measures to prevent occupational injuries. Employment and professional demand assurance, insurance and occupational medicine, social support and opportunities for skill enhancement and labor productivity, safety and compliance with labor legislation — all these are components of worker protection, each of which will be reflected at the All-Russian Labor Protection Week. During the plenary session, we will focus on technologies that make work on each of these aspects more effective,” emphasized Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov.
The main partners of VNOT will be the Rosatom State Corporation, Gazprom PJSC, Russian Railways JSC, Rostec State Corporation, Vostok-Service State Corporation, Caspian Pipeline Consortium.
“Safety ceases to be a set of prohibitions and fines, transforming into a culture of conscious production. At the forum venue, we discuss not just injury prevention, but human-centered technologies as a tool for achieving national development goals. Our task is to create an environment where the implementation of artificial intelligence, care for employees’ reproductive health, and support for labor dynasties become natural conditions of work for any enterprise—from small businesses to flagships of domestic industry,” noted the Advisor to the President of Russia, Anton Kobyakov.
Panel sessions and round tables will cover a wide range of issues: training workers in occupational safety; optimizing occupational safety management system processes and increasing productivity through the implementation of digital tools; providing personal protective equipment to employees of organizations; the quality of conducting special assessments of working conditions; safe production in industries; modernization of personnel centers, and more.
Traditionally, a meeting of the BRICS countries’ occupational safety network will be held at the VNOT venue. This year, experts will discuss national examples of digitization of occupational safety management systems.
The All-Russian Labour Protection Week will conclude with Youth Day. Its program includes career-oriented intellectual team games, master classes on developing soft skills, networking opportunities, and competitions focused on solving practical tasks aimed at attracting young professionals to the industry and forming a talent pool.
