The work of occupational safety specialists involves filling out a large number of document forms, such as, for example, logs. Despite the variety of regulatory legal acts regulating the availability of certain journals, we can identify general principles for maintaining these forms of documents.
The training logs should be:
- numbered. You can number the pages or sheets of the magazine; numbering the sheets will be less labor-intensive;
- laced. It is up to you to choose what you will use for lacing: it can be twine, linen cord, ribbon, stitched nylon thread, etc. The ends of the lacing material should be released on the cover of the magazine or on its last page and secured with a sticker so that the ends of the lacing remain visible. To avoid inconvenience when using a laced magazine, the length of the extended ends of the lacing must be at least 5 cm. drawing;
- signed by the person responsible for its maintenance. The following inscription should be placed on or next to the sticker: “The magazine contains ___ sheets numbered, laced and sealed. "date"_month_20__ Full name, position, signature_______.” The journal is signed by the person authorized to keep this journal;
- sealed with the seal of the organization. We place the seal so that its imprint is both on the sticker and on the cover/sheet of the magazine to which the ends of the lacing are glued. See picture.
- When filling out the journal, we do not leave empty lines and do not make corrections.
- Defining a journal form in a regulatory document as recommended means that we can make changes to this form, for example, adding columns.
- It is not necessary to purchase magazines printed in a printing house; you can print them in your organization yourself.
- The storage period for completed journals is 10 years (Order of the Ministry of Culture of Russia dated August 25, 2010 No. 558 “On approval of the “List of standard management archival documents generated in the process of activities of state bodies, local governments and organizations, indicating storage periods”), unless otherwise provided for by regulatory documents regulating the maintenance of relevant journals. For example, a log of accidents at work is kept for 45 years.
Let us dwell in more detail on some aspects of filling out logs related to the registration of briefings.
Induction training
Induction training is carried out with the employee immediately after he is hired. At its core, this is a story about how to comply with safety rules while at the enterprise as a whole. As a rule (but not necessarily) this type of instruction is carried out by a labor protection specialist. Sometimes it is right for several people to have the right to conduct induction training, since a specialist may get sick, quit, or go on vacation. Sometimes even hiring can take place at different addresses.
The main thing is that this employee (employees) is appointed by order of the director.

Timing of briefings
Type of instruction | Date |
Introductory | During hiring. |
Primary | On the first working day. |
Repeated | Once a year, with workers in fire-hazardous industries - once every six months. |
Unscheduled | Before admission or on the day of work in new conditions. |
Target | Before performing specific work. |
On-the-job training
On-the-job training is called that because it talks about the rules for safe work performance directly at the employee’s workplace.
This responsibility rests with the immediate supervisor of the work. If, for example, several teams work in a workshop, then the task of conducting on-the-job briefings lies with the foremen, and not with the workshop manager.

Treat safety magazines responsibly and take care of yourself!
Initial training at the workplace
It is carried out with everyone before starting independent work. Conducting labor safety briefings includes familiarizing workers with existing hazardous or harmful production factors, studying labor safety requirements contained in the organization’s local regulations, labor safety instructions, technical and operational documentation, as well as the use of safe methods and techniques for performing work.

Not all employees are required to undergo on-the-job training. If the responsibility to instruct lies with the boss, then who will instruct the director? Or why instruct people who themselves have the right to instruct employees?
Employees may be exempt from undergoing initial training at the workplace. The list of professions and positions of employees exempt from undergoing initial training at the workplace is approved by the employer.

Who is assigned responsibility and who keeps the log
In accordance with the law, the safety manager and engineer must have valid certificates that they have been trained in specialized institutions. At the same time, it is necessary to remember that the manager must be trained once every 5 years, because only he is responsible for organizing safety and health at the enterprise.
Re-briefing
All workers undergo repeated training at least once every six months. Drivers are given briefings every quarter.
Repeated instruction is carried out according to the initial instruction program at the workplace in full.
Initial training program
This is a document issued for each profession. It indicates the topics of the briefing and the time required to study them. And most importantly, the numbers of instructions according to which workers of a particular profession are instructed.
initial training programs |
If an enterprise treats training formally, then sometimes you can see in a magazine how on the same day a dozen people in one department were trained, and according to different instructions. If at least one hour is allotted for each person in the program, then the instructor would have to have a ten-hour working day. This can only mean that in fact people were given to sign in a pre-filled journal.
At the same time, you can conduct briefings with employees who have the same training programs.

An organization, regardless of its field of activity and the number of employees, must have a log of introductory briefings, a log of registration of workplace briefings and a log of accidents. This is indicated in paragraph 2.1.3 of the Procedure for training in labor protection and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of organizations, which was approved by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Ministry of Education dated January 13, 2003 No. 1/29 (hereinafter referred to as the Training Procedure), and in paragraph 33 of the regulations on the specifics of the investigation accidents at work in certain industries and organizations, which was approved by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor dated October 24, 2002 No. 73.
Logbooks for recording and issuing instructions on labor protection and a logbook for three-stage control are drawn up at the request of the employer. With their help, it is convenient to monitor compliance with labor protection requirements in the organization.
WORTH PAYING ATTENTION
Carrying out three-stage control and keeping a log is mandatory for organizations that carry out general construction and special construction work.

QUESTION ANSWER
How many logs of occupational safety briefings should there be at an enterprise?
The employer decides how many logs of labor safety briefings to keep. The main thing is that these logs record all five types of briefings: introductory, primary, repeated, unscheduled and targeted.
Training Procedure No. 1/29 has no requirements for the number of briefing logs; it states that all types of briefings are registered in the appropriate briefing logs, indicating the signature of the person being instructed and the signature of the instructing person, as well as the date of the briefing (clause 2.1.3 of the Training Procedure , approved by resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Ministry of Education dated January 13, 2003 No. 1/29).
The number of briefing logs is specified in GOST 12.0.004-2015 - three logs: registration of introductory briefing
,
registration of workplace briefing
and
registration of targeted briefing
. However, GOST 12.0.004-2015 is not a mandatory document, unlike Training Procedure No. 1/29.
Therefore, each enterprise independently determines the number of briefing logs; you can keep only one log, you can follow GOST 12.0.004-2015 and keep three logs, or you can keep five logs for each briefing, if that is more convenient.
QUESTION ANSWER
Is it possible to keep briefing logs electronically?
No you can not.
The conduct of briefings must be recorded in a journal entry with the signatures of the person being instructed and the person instructing. This is indicated in the Procedure for training on labor protection and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of organizations, approved by Resolution of the Ministry of Labor and Ministry of Education dated January 13, 2003 No. 1/29. There is no information in the document about maintaining journals in electronic form and using electronic signatures.
QUESTION ANSWER
What is the shelf life of labor safety briefing logs?
Instruction logs are kept for 45 years. This follows from subparagraph “a” of paragraph 423 of the List, approved by order of Rosarkhiv dated December 20, 2019 No. 236

Question: About keeping logs and issuing instructions on labor protection for workers.
Answer: The Department of Labor Conditions and Safety reviewed, within its competence, the appeal received on the official website of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation on the issue related to maintaining log books and issuing instructions on labor protection, and reports the following.
Article 212 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (hereinafter referred to as the Code) stipulates that the responsibility for ensuring safe conditions and labor protection rests with the employer.
In accordance with Article 212 of the Code, the employer is obliged to ensure, among other things:
development and approval of rules and instructions on labor protection for employees, taking into account the opinion of the elected body of the primary trade union organization or other body authorized by employees in the manner established by Article 372 of the Code for the adoption of local regulations;
the presence of a set of regulatory legal acts containing labor protection requirements in accordance with the specifics of their activities.
Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 17, 2002 No. 80 approved Methodological Recommendations for the development of state regulatory requirements for labor protection (hereinafter referred to as the Recommendations).
In accordance with paragraph 5.10 of the Recommendations, the recommended forms for registering labor protection instructions for workers and recording the issuance of labor protection instructions for employees of the organization's divisions are given in Appendices No. 9 and 10 to these Recommendations.
It should be noted that these Recommendations are not a normative legal act, since they are not registered by the Ministry of Justice of the Russian Federation and are advisory in nature, therefore, the requirement for full compliance with the above Recommendations does not have sufficient legal justification.
Taking into account the above, we clarify that keeping logs of labor protection instructions for employees and records of the issuance of labor protection instructions for employees of the organization’s departments is advisory in nature.
It should be noted that the issuance of instructions to employees must be recorded against signature, while the procedure and form for issuing instructions is determined by the employer.

Development and approval of the program
The organization independently develops and approves the 2021 occupational safety induction program; this occurs on the basis of legislative and other regulatory legal acts of the Russian Federation. The program takes into account the specifics of the organization's activities. An approximate list of questions for drawing up a program is contained in Appendix B to GOST 12.0.004-2015. The worker should be informed how to avoid hazards during the work process. For this purpose he is informed:
- about the specifics of the organization;
- work and rest schedule;
- rules of behavior in the workplace and in other areas of the organization;
- storage locations and procedure for using protective equipment;
- first aid procedures.
Taking into account the coronavirus pandemic in 2021, employers were required to instruct employees on measures to prevent coronavirus infection and what to do if there are signs of the disease.
It just seems that the instructions for conducting induction training are something complicated. In fact, this is simply a list of questions that are brought to the person being instructed, and the time allotted for their consideration. The sample program looks like this:
The sample shows that the instructions for conducting introductory training on labor protection are an appendix to the order. The form of the regulatory act on the approval of the program is not defined in any way. The employer usually approves such a program with an order, for example, this:
The order must be familiarized with the authorized person who is assigned the relevant responsibilities. Such a specialist puts a signature and date of review in the journal.
Fines if training is not carried out and a log is not kept
The absence of a log of safety training, as well as its non-conduct, is interpreted by the competent authorities as an employee’s permission to perform work duties without undergoing training in the prescribed manner and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements. Art. 5.27.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of Russia determines that an administrative penalty may be imposed on a legal entity in the form of a fine from 110,000 to 130,000 rubles, and on its officials - from 15,000 to 25,000 rubles.
Repeated violation of these norms (as well as failure to eliminate this fact earlier) leads to the imposition of a fine on the organization from 100,000 to 200,000 rubles or suspension of its activities for 90 days. In this case, the official is subject to penalties in the form of a fine from 35,000 to 40,000 rubles or disqualification from 1 to 3 years.
When is it held?
Initial briefing should be carried out with employees before starting independent activities:
- newly hired by the organization, regardless of the nature of the work;
- temporarily working for a period of business trip or internship;
- transferred to another area of work associated with harmful, dangerous working conditions, or other significantly changing work within the framework of labor protection.
Instruction is required for every employee hired on a permanent or temporary basis. The manager has the right to approve the list of persons who do not have to undergo it. This often applies to office workers, whose work does not involve exposure to negative factors. However, if they violate labor safety rules, responsibility rests with the employer.
Employer's liability
It is prohibited to allow employees to undergo internships and subsequently to work independently without undergoing initial training, because, in addition to moral responsibility in the event of an emergency, otherwise a fine for each employee is possible:
- for officials in the amount of fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand rubles;
- for persons carrying out entrepreneurial activities without forming a legal entity - from fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand rubles;
- for legal entities - from one hundred ten thousand to one hundred thirty thousand rubles.
Results
Organizing initial training for a new employee before starting work is the responsibility of the employer and is aimed at ensuring that the employee complies with the rules of conduct aimed at preventing the occurrence of situations that are dangerous both to the life and health of the employee and to the safety of the employer’s property.
