ROAD SAFETY COMMISSION

COMMISSION FOR TESTING KNOWLEDGE OF ROAD SAFETY

Start over. In order to take measures to improve the qualifications of drivers or persons operating official vehicles, an annual 20-hour program developed and approved by the manager is conducted. This training is organized by the person responsible for road safety. After completing this training, you need to test your knowledge. This knowledge is no longer tested by the person who brought this program to drivers, but by the Road Safety Commission . More precisely, the commission for testing knowledge on road safety.

COMPOSITION OF THE ROAD SAFETY COMMISSION

In order to test the knowledge of drivers, the commission includes competent people. In terms of number, the road safety commission should usually consist of three people (at least). In terms of competence, at least one of them must be a traffic safety specialist. Let me give you an example of what a commission might look like: The chairman is the head (or his deputy), the first member of the commission is the person responsible for ensuring road safety, the second member of the commission is the dispatcher. This composition is the simplest for a small organization. If the organization is large, then the commission may look like this: The chairman is the chief engineer, the first member of the commission is the head of the transport department, the second member of the commission is a mechanic. You can combine it in different ways. The main principle is this: the Chairman is the leader, and the members of the commission are lower in the chain of command.

A NEW PROGRAM-ASSISTANCE “PRACTICUM: ENSURING TRAFFIC SAFETY IN 30 DAYS” HAS BEEN LAUNCHED

Occupational safety for drivers.

Federal Law of December 10, 1995 N 196-FZ (as amended on July 23, 2013) “On Road Safety” (as amended and supplemented, coming into force on November 5, 2013)

Article 20. Basic requirements for ensuring road safety for legal entities and individual entrepreneurs when they carry out activities related to the operation of vehicles
3. Legal entities carrying out transportation by road and land urban electric transport, taking into account the characteristics of transportation and within the limits of the current legislation of the Russian Federation Road safety federations may establish special rules and impose additional requirements on vehicle drivers to ensure road safety.

This is how it can be - labor protection at a motor transport enterprise

New rules on allowing drivers to work

In September, new rules on labor protection in road transport and advanced training programs for drivers come into force. The article contains instructions that will help train employees on the new requirements. In order not to violate the training deadlines, use the order template and a sample of the initial training program at the workplace for drivers, which the editors have developed based on the new rules.

What do you need to do before September 27?

On September 27, 2018, Order No. 59n of the Ministry of Labor will come into force, approving the Rules for Labor Safety in Road Transport (hereinafter referred to as the Rules). The rules have been registered with the Ministry of Justice, so they will be mandatory for employers. They do not apply to workers who are engaged in the maintenance and operation of floor-mounted trackless wheeled vehicles in internal plant areas.

Before the Rules come into force, the following activities must be carried out:

develop and approve labor safety instructions for drivers;
develop and approve on-the-job briefing and occupational safety training programs for drivers;
unscheduled briefing on labor protection;
extraordinary test of knowledge on labor protection.

What changed?

The rules have become modern. Instead of burning coal, you now need to install automatic air heat curtains (clause 29 of the Rules). The requirements for the equipment placement plan have been specified; it will need to be approved by order of the employer. The requirements for batteries have been tightened (clause 137 of the Rules). The changes also affected labor safety requirements when working with tools and devices.

The “Electrical Safety” section was completely excluded, since it duplicated the Rules for the Technical Operation of Consumer Electrical Installations, approved by Order No. 6 of the Ministry of Energy dated January 13, 2003. The appendix approved a work permit for high-risk work.

List of harmful and dangerous production factors. The Rules have added to the list of production facts that can affect workers when operating vehicles. Now it includes physical and neuropsychic overload.

Collective protective equipment. The training program and labor safety instructions will need to include information about collective protective equipment in accordance with the Labor Safety Rules for the placement, installation, maintenance and repair of technological equipment (approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor dated June 23, 2016 No. 310n; hereinafter referred to as Rules No. 310n) .

Frequency of occupational safety training. Repeated instruction at least once every three months and knowledge testing at least once every 12 months will now be carried out only for employees who perform work with increased labor safety requirements.

The work of drivers is associated with an increased danger to others (Article 1079 of the Civil Code). Therefore, the employer is obliged to ensure that drivers undergo repeated instruction at least once every three months, and a knowledge test at least once every 12 months. The period, which is calculated in months, expires on the corresponding date of the last month (Part 2 of Article 4.8 of the Administrative Code).

Requirements for the production area.
Industrial buildings and structures, premises and sites must meet the requirements of the Technical Regulations on the safety of buildings and structures (Federal Law dated December 30, 2009 No. 384-FZ). Previously, they only had to comply with building codes.

Requirements for sanitary premises. The clause on the arrangement of smoking areas in industrial premises was excluded from the Rules. The requirements for equipping a canteen with semi-finished products, for creating a paramedic station and a first-aid post depending on the number of workers, for the area of a room for a pre-trip medical examination and a rest room, for hygienic showers for women and separate smoking rooms for them were removed. They also excluded the requirement for mobile canteens, equipping toilets with urinals, etc. Instead, it was indicated that the employer must equip sanitary facilities in accordance with established standards (clause 14 of the Rules).

Work and rest schedule. This section was excluded from the Rules. It was determined that the work and rest regime is established by the internal labor regulations and other local regulations of the employer (clause 13 of the Rules).

How is driver training carried out?
The driver belongs to the category of workers who are subject to increased requirements for professional selection (Order of the Ministry of Transport dated January 15, 2014 No. 7). His specific knowledge and skills are confirmed by a driver’s license for the right to drive a vehicle with the appropriate category (Article 65 of the Labor Code).

The employer organizes advanced training for drivers (Article 20 of the Federal Law of December 10, 1995 No. 196-FZ “On Road Safety”). Every year, driving skills improvement is carried out only for employees of motor transport organizations supervised by the Ministry of Transport. For example, public transport drivers. Until a professional standard is adopted, other organizations themselves determine the frequency of advanced training for drivers.

Since September 1, 2018, Order No. 161 of the Ministry of Education and Science dated March 1, 2018 has been in effect, which approved new advanced training programs for drivers (hereinafter referred to as the Advanced Training Programs). Drivers can undergo advanced training only in training organizations for additional professional education (Parts 2 and 6 of Article 76 of the Federal Law of December 29, 2012 No. 273-FZ “On Education in the Russian Federation”). An organization cannot independently conduct training if it does not have a license for educational activities in the field of additional professional education.

What changes need to be made to the occupational safety induction program?

The Rules established a requirement to familiarize the employee with the required personal protective equipment when concluding an employment contract. Therefore, during the introductory briefing it will be necessary to explain what kind of PPE the employee is required to wear.

There is no need to include a list of PPE in the program; indicate industry issuance standards. Write in it a separate paragraph “Familiarization of the employee with the standards for the free issuance of PPE.” If such information is available, do not redo the program. During the briefing, show the new employee the item in the issuance standards and list the specified PPE with wearing periods. At the employee's request, provide an extract from the issuing standards or post the information in an accessible place - for example, on a labor protection stand.

At the introductory briefing, tell the employee that the organization has equipped sanitary facilities, rooms for eating, rooms for pre-trip medical examination, rooms for rest during working hours and psychological relief. Tell us where the posts with first aid kits, fire extinguishers and fire shields are located. Explain the ban on smoking on the organization's premises and in the car.

What needs to be added to initial instruction and training programs in occupational safety and health?

During the initial briefing, the employee is told what measures are being taken to reduce the level of harmful and dangerous impacts of production factors. The developer needs to add measures to reduce the impact of physical and neuropsychic overload to the training program.

According to the new rules, additional requirements are imposed on the organization of work for drivers. The developer must include in the briefing and training programs special labor protection requirements imposed by:

to production areas and workplace organization;
storage areas for vehicles;
placement of technological equipment;
production process technologies;
operation of vehicles;
placement and storage of materials, equipment, components and production waste.

The Advanced Training Programs have published detailed material on providing first aid to victims. Use it as a guide when training and developing occupational safety instructions.

Information on collective protective equipment should be included in the briefing and training program. If this is not done, the organization will be fined under Part 1 of Article 5.27.1 of the Administrative Code. Therefore, the labor protection service checks that the developer of briefing and training programs includes information from paragraphs 84–89 of Rules No. 310n.

In what order should training be carried out under the new rules?

Conduct an unscheduled briefing on labor protection with drivers, then an extraordinary knowledge test no later than September 27, 2018 (clauses 2.1.6 and 3.3 of the Procedure for training in labor protection and testing knowledge of labor protection requirements for employees of the organization, approved by resolution of the Ministry of Labor, Ministry of Education dated 13.01. 2003 No. 1/29; hereinafter referred to as Training Procedure No. 1/29).

If an employer allows untrained drivers to work, he faces a fine (Part 3 of Article 5.27.1 of the Administrative Code). In this case, the court may consider that a fine must be paid for each untrained employee (decision of the Moscow City Court dated June 6, 2016 in case No. 7-5928/16).

The Occupational Safety and Health Service is preparing an order to conduct unscheduled training and test knowledge of labor protection requirements under the new rules. When you set the date and time for the exam, be sure to allow employees time to prepare.

During an unscheduled briefing, the employee is explained what exactly has changed in the new rules. The training is carried out by the head of the structural unit according to the newly developed program of initial training at the workplace. You need to enter the reasons in the registration log - indicate the number and date of the order.

An extraordinary test of knowledge on labor protection is carried out by the organization’s commission. To carry it out, after changes in legislation, members of the commission must undergo an extraordinary knowledge test at the training center (clause 3.3 of the Training Procedure No. 1/29). Only after this can the commission test the knowledge of the new rules among the organization’s employees. In the protocol, in the occupational safety certificate, in the “Reason for inspection” field, indicate “extraordinary”.

Online preparation for passing the traffic police exam

Testing knowledge of traffic rules to obtain a driving license, basic principles

Traffic on the road is full of difficulties and surprises; driving a car requires special attention and knowledge of the rules of the road. Obtaining a driving license is possible only when a person has learned to apply it in practice, and exams help determine the degree of readiness.

To pass them, eight hundred questions have been developed, they are grouped into 40 tickets - and all need to be answered. All questions relate to different topics, there are general provisions and knowledge of road signs, traffic lights and traffic controllers.

It is possible to go through this procedure quickly, due to the fact that the exam is conducted in the form of a test (questions and answer options), you can spend no more than 20 minutes on answers. You are allowed to make a mistake no more than two times (i.e. out of 20 questions, at least 18 must have the correct answer). In addition, in a real exam, questions are “randomly” selected by the computer.

To practice, before actually taking the exam, you can take this test online, and if you have more errors in any questions than expected, you can return to this ticket again. For example, a lot of errors included traffic ticket 4. You can try to go through his questions again, and also look at the tips for questions on ticket 4 traffic rules, the answers are explained and justified in them.

There are questions of varying degrees of difficulty, and even very easy ones, for example, traffic ticket 4 question 12, where in the picture one of the drivers parked the car on the sidewalk and you need to answer the question: which of them violated the parking rules. The last questions in the tickets concern general knowledge, not only traffic rules ticket 4 question 20, including the skills of performing direct cardiac massage and you need to know how to place your hands on your chest and with the correct direction of your fingers.

Road safety events. 7 important points.

If not, write them down and use them as a “cheat sheet.” The presence and completeness of these measures directly affects all work to ensure road safety as a whole.

I will try to briefly outline the activities and succinctly reveal the essence of each of them in the context of ensuring road safety .

Regular staff training;
Induction training with staff;
Initial training at the workplace;
Internship for persons driving company cars;
Assignment to company cars and transfer of the car according to the act;
Periodic and unscheduled briefings;
Periodic and pre-trip medical examinations.

Road safety event “Regular staff training”

Therefore, for persons driving official vehicles there is a 20-hour road safety , and for responsible persons there are special advanced training programs in relevant educational institutions.

Road safety event “Induction training with staff”

And that is not all. I quote clause 10.7 of the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation of May 12, 2003 N 28 “On approval of Inter-industry rules for labor protection in road transport”

As you can see, everything is serious.
