The main strategic theme of the business program of the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week 2025 is "National Preservation – a Guarantee of Sustainable Development". The forum will bring together over 10 thousand managers and specialists from federal and regional authorities, leading employers, representatives of trade unions, the scientific and expert community to develop consolidated solutions on current issues of ensuring safe working conditions and maintaining the health of workers.
As Deputy Prime Minister and Chairperson of the VNOT Organizing Committee Tatyana Golikova noted, the central theme of the anniversary week is more relevant than ever in light of the implementation of the new national project and the tasks of strengthening human capital.
"In the context of solving strategic tasks to strengthen human capital, the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week is of particular importance. It is a key platform for developing solutions that directly affect one of the main goals of the national project "Personnel" – preserving the lives and health of workers. Saving the people is not an abstract goal, but specific work on introducing modern safety standards at every workplace. The sustainable development of our economy and the well-being of every citizen of Russia depend on how effectively we use the best practices and technologies presented here in Sirius," said Tatyana Golikova.
The forum programme includes plenary sessions and round tables devoted to the discussion of strategies for increasing labour productivity, issues of platform employment and achieving national goals in the field of human capital.
According to the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov, the successful implementation of national projects and the training of personnel needed by the economy in the future is impossible without close cooperation between the state and employers.
"This year we are launching the tenth anniversary All-Russian Occupational Safety Week. Our goal is to assess the changes that have occurred over the year, to talk about the opportunities that have been added to the social and labor sphere. Thanks to our concerted efforts, against the backdrop of the growing importance of labor protection as a factor in the attractiveness of jobs and saving working time, we see positive dynamics. The result achieved in recent years has become possible due to many years of constructive interaction between all parties involved in the work at the VNOT forum: businesses, government agencies, employers and trade unions. This year, VNOT is planned to be visited by over 10 thousand people, including over 2 thousand guests from foreign countries. The business program includes over 150 events dedicated to current issues of labor protection and employment. About 200 companies will take part in the industry exhibition of the forum. The VNOT platform, which traditionally brings together representatives of leading Russian companies, is the best place for dialogue and development of solutions on these issues," emphasized Anton Kotyakov.
According to the Advisor to the President of Russia Anton Kobyakov, the agenda of the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week is becoming more and more extensive every year, and its international component is growing from year to year.
"Over the years of its existence, the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week has evolved from a conference into the country's main forum on social protection, occupational safety, industrial safety and other issues of supporting working people. About 10 thousand participants are expected at the anniversary forum, and it is planned to increase the number of foreign guests, manufacturing, consulting companies and participants in the exhibition of manufacturers of personal protective equipment," he noted.
The All-Russian Occupational Safety Week will open with Youth Day. Its program includes career quizzes, master classes on developing flexible skills, networking and case championships aimed at attracting young specialists to the industry and forming a personnel reserve. On the same day, September 15, a meeting of the BRICS network of countries on occupational safety will be held, which emphasizes the importance of the practical implementation of political dialogue and the establishment of business ties between Russian and international companies on the sidelines of the forum.
The central event of the anniversary week will be the strategic plenary session on September 16. The session will focus on systemic issues of increasing labor productivity through the prism of safety, challenges of platform employment, as well as national development goals in the field of human capital. Participants will discuss the integration of approaches to labor protection into the overall strategy of the country's socio-economic development, measures to reduce professional risks and create a culture of prevention in production.
The forum will pay special attention to the digital transformation of occupational safety. This topic will be covered in separate sessions, such as "Safety Technologies: Digital Transformation in Occupational Safety and Human Resources Management" and "Innovative Digital Solutions to Achieve Zero Injuries", focusing on practical tools.
A significant block of the program is addressed to small and medium businesses. Entrepreneurs will be offered step-by-step algorithms for building occupational safety management systems, analysis of economic aspects, features of conducting a special assessment of working conditions and organizing training taking into account limited resources.
At the session "New approaches to the risk-oriented model of supervision in the sphere of labor", experts together with representatives of control and supervisory authorities will discuss the evolution of the supervision system aimed at preventing violations. Special attention will be paid to the issues of accident investigation and law enforcement practice.
Also at VNOT-2025, special attention will be paid to modern personal protective equipment (PPE) as an important element of the labor protection system. Experts will discuss the risks associated with poor-quality PPE at a thematic session with the participation of regulatory authorities and business representatives. A spectacular event will be a fashion show of PPE, demonstrating that protective clothing can be not only functional, but also stylish. The latest PPE developments will be presented at a large-scale exhibition.
In addition, the program includes awarding the winners of all-Russian competitions in the field of labor protection. The forum will also pay attention to the development of human resources, including support measures provided by the national project "Personnel", and issues of maintaining the health of employees, including the introduction of health-saving technologies in production.
