The 10th All-Russian Occupational Safety Week will be held from September 15 to 18, 2025 in Sochi.
Dear friends!
Video address by Mikhail Mishustin to the participants and organizers of the 10th All-Russian Occupational Safety Week
I am pleased to welcome all participants and guests to the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week. It is being held for the tenth time and proves that this forum is in demand in our country and beyond.
Professionals from all Russian regions and more than 30 foreign countries have arrived here in Sochi. Among them are specialists in the field of security, as well as the labor market, employment, social protection, healthcare, representatives of the business and scientific communities and, of course, government authorities.
During discussions, seminars and many business events, you will be able to exchange experiences, discuss approaches to implementing the most effective occupational safety practices. And most importantly, offer solutions that will help equip workplaces using modern technologies.
The main theme of the week that is currently underway is "Nation Preservation – Guarantee of Sustainable Development" – it is very important. The tasks of preserving the population, increasing the well-being of people are reflected in one of the national goals set by the President.
Of course, this also includes the responsible attitude of each organization to the issues of creating comfortable, safe working conditions, and the most targeted protection from risks that an employee may encounter in his or her workplace.
Last year, companies’ investments in such events increased by 20% and amounted to almost 210 billion rubles.
In turn, the state regularly increases the amount of funds sent to employers to prevent risks for people. This year, 36 billion rubles have been allocated for these purposes, and almost 40 billion more next year.
The systematic implementation of a whole range of measures has made it possible to reduce the total number of accidents by 20% in recent years.
The government continues to support bona fide enterprises that take occupational safety issues seriously.
Colleagues, in recent years the employment structure and the labor market have changed significantly. New forms and other approaches to the quality of the organization of production processes have appeared. The level of competitiveness of companies depends on how well they meet these challenges. The ability to attract young people, highly qualified specialists. After all, for many of them such conditions are decisive when applying for a job.
It is necessary to form a culture of safe work. It covers not only the obligations of employers, but also the duties of employees to comply with current standards and regulations. Especially those employed in industry, construction, energy, transport and many other strategic sectors.
During the week, attention will be paid to another important topic – employment of participants in a special military operation.
The President emphasized that we must do everything possible to ensure that our defenders feel that they are in demand, that they can get a job and provide for their loved ones. Today, this is one of our priorities. We provide assistance to veterans of the SVO so that they adapt when entering the workforce, acquire the necessary competencies, skills, get a profession or open their own business. And such support, of course, must be systemic.
Dear friends!
The task of building the safest, qualitatively new production environment is of great importance to everyone. And it can be accomplished by acting together. In an open dialogue between government agencies, employers and employees.
I wish the participants of the All-Russian Occupational Safety Week interesting and fruitful discussions, the search for promising ideas and breakthrough solutions.
