The XI All-Russian Occupational Safety Week has begun its work at the Federal Territory "Sirius"
On October 7, the XI All-Russian Occupational Safety Week began its work at the Federal Territory "Sirius". The opening ceremony presented the key directions of the forum's work. Representatives of federal and regional government bodies, industry associations, and the expert community took part in the events of the first day.

The business program of the first day was focused on staffing, the development of modern competencies, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), and the preservation of workers' health. Experts discussed mechanisms for forming regional forecasts of the economy's need for personnel, requirements for occupational safety specialists in the context of digitalization, practices of implementing local regulations on PPE provision, as well as issues of cognitive and reproductive health of the working population.

As part of the international agenda, the second meeting of the BRICS Occupational Safety Network took place. Representatives of the states exchanged best practices in the field of occupational safety and health (OSH) management systems and reviewed national examples of digitalization of public administration in this area.

"The meeting of the Occupational Safety Network is a key event in the international agenda of the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week. In the context of the formation of new forms of employment, digitalization of production, and the influence of global events, it is very important to unite efforts in the field of occupational safety to prevent occupational injuries and diseases. That is why today, within the framework of our second meeting, we would like to discuss national examples of digitalization of public administration in the field of occupational safety. The topic of introducing digital technologies into the occupational safety management system is especially relevant for us now. We would like to share our developments and adopt the successful experience of BRICS countries in this industry. I am confident that within the framework of this meeting we will find joint solutions to improve safety and well-being in the workplace in BRICS countries, which will serve as a key element of the sustainable development of our states," noted State Secretary – Deputy Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Andrei Pudov.

The program of the first day was supplemented by applied formats. The Russian First Aid Society conducted a master class on the main algorithms of actions when providing first aid to a victim. The All-Russian testing "Occupational Safety and Workplace Safety — 2026" took place: participants checked their knowledge in the field of safe work organization and current occupational safety requirements. Also, an award ceremony for the finalists of the All-Russian competition "Best Occupational Safety Specialist" was held at the venue. 31 participants made it to the finals, and the names of the winners will be announced on October 9.

The exhibition program presented practical solutions in the field of occupational safety, industrial safety, social support, and corporate health. At the booth of the Social Fund of Russia, participants could get acquainted with current areas of work and ask questions to the interactive mascot Sofia — over 200 people received useful information from her about payouts. The BTK company demonstrated modern solutions in the field of personal protective equipment, and Aeroflot organized health check-ups for the guests of the site. Demonstrations of technologies, consultations, and practical activities took place at the participants' exhibition booths.
