Indoor climate and the law

head of any company strives to organize the work so as to achieve the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.But no matter how desirable the head to be economical and thrifty, to ensure normal microclimate in industrial premises, he obliged.This position is strictly fixed in the law of the Russian Federation signed on 17 July 1999 in the Constitution and in the Labour Code.

labor legislation states that the responsibility for ensuring safe and healthy working conditions imposed on the head.You must comply with all requirements - both legal and natural persons (Article 211).

Indoor climate - it is the environment, we can say, weather conditions, physical factors, in which the person exists and performs recorded in the employment agreement is valid.What are these factors?Temperature, humidity, velocity of air movement, thermal radiation.If the combined effect of all these factors is that a person has not violated the heat exchange processes is considered optimal indoor climate.

In the case where ensure optimal operating conditions of temperature, humidity and other climatic parameters is not possible, but a worker while on his place not observed deterioration of health, thermoregulation of the body changes for a short time and quickly restored to normal, they sayabout acceptable microclimate.Standards optimal and acceptable microclimate established GOST.For various periods of the year (winter-summer) for the performance of professional duties of varying severity, these rules are different.

winter and cold season is the time when the average daily temperature was 10 degrees and below.Summer or warm - the period with a temperature above 10.

severity performed professional duties jobs are divided into categories.There are mild, moderate and severe categories.The criterion of separation is based on energy consumption of workers who believe in kcal / hour.

addition of gravity of the work, a place where people work, are classified into temporary and permanent, that is, those in which a worker spends all their time, or part of it, but at least 2 hours continuously.Indoor climate for each category of jobs is not the same as their criteria are different, but fixed for each of these standards must be respected by all entities, regardless of the type and nature of the work performed.

To labor laws are not violated, the Ministry of Labour decree №28 on April 24, 2002 established a special system of certification work.During the certification is carried out certification of workplaces - working conditions are checked, measured indoor climate parameters, identify threatening health factors and measures are being taken to eliminate violations.All parameters, including the temperature of the air space and work surfaces, humidity, thermal radiation, the rate of movement of air masses, should be defined not as something in the eye, and professional specialists.Measurement of microclimate is carried out on schedule.Laboratories that perform measurements, drawn up.It marked indicators and their evaluation is given.As a result of certification of a certificate.

If indoor climate does not conform, the head of the company imposed penalty stipulated by the Code of Administrative Violations.Penalties include a fine of from 500 to 5000 rubles.
