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.

The decision will stimulate businesses developing the production of medicines in the country.

From January 1, 2026, a point system for assessing the level of localization of production in the pharmaceutical industry will come into effect in Russia. The decree on this was signed by Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The main goal of introducing a new system for assessing the origin of goods is to expand the range of pharmaceuticals produced in Russia, as well as to create additional incentives for the development of the industry and the development of promising technologies for the production of medicines.

Starting from the new year, points will be awarded for establishing the production of medicines and pharmaceutical substances in the country. Products will be considered Russian upon collecting a certain number of points. The decision on this will be made by the Ministry of Industry and Trade.

Manufacturers whose products are recognized as Russian will gain access to government support instruments.

The scoring mechanism for confirming the production of industrial products in Russia was launched in 2015 and is currently in effect in many industries.

The document will be published.

“A lot of work is being done under the national project “Infrastructure for Life” to update the road network, including federal highways that take on heavy traffic and, as a result, a large load on the road surface. One of these highways is the R-22 “Caspian” highway, which connects the regions of the central and southern parts of Russia. Currently, various types of work are being carried out on the road. Thus, on the section from the 356th to the 371st km in the Tambov region, specialists are busy widening the roadway. The readiness of the facility has exceeded 50%, road workers are on schedule. The result of the work will be a four-lane road with an axial barrier fence, which will significantly reduce the risk of head-on collisions. The capacity of the section will increase to 26 thousand cars per day. I am confident that thanks to the systematic work and responsible approach of Rosavtodor, the team of the acting governor of the region Evgeny Pervyshov Tambov residents and users of the highway will receive a high-quality, updated section within the established time frame,” said Marat Khusnullin.

At present, all layers of road surface (except for the top) have been completed on 13 out of 15 km for two new lanes of the road, which are already used for traffic. Work has been fully completed on the construction of two turnaround loops, which provide a safe exit from the federal highway to the settlements of Fonvizino, Novospasskoye, Zavodskoy, Ilovay-Dmitrievskoye and Staroseslavino. The process of destructuring cement concrete slabs on the old two lanes of the road and the construction of a third turnaround loop are underway.

In addition, construction of bridge structures continues on this section. The installation of supports for the left half of the roadway of the railway overpass at the 359th km of the route has been completed. The specialists plan to expand the bridge over the Ilovai River to four traffic lanes this year.

"The issue of road quality for residents of the Tambov Region is one of the most important. We are improving the road network within the framework of national projects, federal and regional programs. The R-22 "Caspian" highway is of paramount importance for us. It provides transport links not only between the northern and southern territories of the region, but also with other subjects of the country. I am glad that the planned actions are being implemented and very soon another section of a modern comfortable highway will appear," commented the acting head of the Tambov Region, Yevgeny Pervyshov.

Completion of the major repairs of the 15-kilometer section of the R-22 “Caspian” highway is planned for 2026.

The work is being carried out by the Federal State Institution “Moscow-Volgograd Federal Highway Administration”, which is subordinate to Rosavtodor.

The government has implemented artificial intelligence technology in the state system for monitoring and managing national projects and state programs. The AI model analyzes 100% of the events and indicators of national projects and state programs of Russia online, comparing them with the indicators of the national development goals set by the President. The work on digitalization of the state apparatus is supervised by Deputy Prime Minister – Chief of the Government Staff Dmitry Grigorenko.

Such analytics helps to identify connections between government projects, including non-obvious ones. This is necessary for developing an effective plan for achieving national goals and making accurate management decisions. Often, the activities and indicators of one national project (or state program) are closely related to the activities of another. For example, to ensure the availability of housing on the primary market, it is important to take into account not only the volume of housing construction and its cost, but also the financial capabilities of citizens. Therefore, it is important to understand what activities are planned to support citizens in purchasing housing. The AI model allows you to identify such relationships. The use of artificial intelligence also allows you to receive timely information about the risks of failure to implement one event due to delays in the implementation schedule of others or their revision.

"The government currently uses artificial intelligence, including for analyzing the forecast of non-fulfillment of various programs and events. In particular, we use AI in the management system of national projects and state programs. Artificial intelligence analyzes planned events, their implementation processes and predicts risks. The accuracy of such a forecast already reaches 96%. This is important because our task is not to record the fact that something has not been done somewhere, but to ensure that everything is implemented," noted Dmitry Grigorenko.

The Deputy Prime Minister also emphasized that artificial intelligence does not make the final decision, but is a tool that simplifies human work.

AI technology can significantly reduce the time required to analyze indicators and activities. The AI system processes more than 1,000 possible options per minute to determine the correct relationships, i.e. cases where one event or indicator affects the achievement of a specific national development goal of the country. Previously, such analysis was carried out manually. Thus, in order to evaluate almost half a million potential relationships between the indicators of national goals and all activities, it would be necessary to involve 76 experts from 38 industries, while manual analysis would take them about 4 years. Artificial intelligence allows this work to be done in 1 day.

To date, the AI model has identified more than 8,000 new connections. All of them are sent for verification to federal executive authorities, which in turn can confirm the relationship or reject it and send information about it for a more detailed analysis to the Project Management Center of RANEPA. Thus, artificial intelligence serves as a tool that speeds up the work process, but the final decision always remains with the person.

In Russia, work continues to bring roads up to standard within the framework of the national project "Infrastructure for Life". To date, the area of laying the upper layers of road surfaces at regional and local sites of the national project is 81.3 million square meters, or over 54% of the planned volume. This was reported by Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin.

"Modern and high-quality roads are not only convenient to travel, but also increase safety on the roads, reduce accidents, develop regions and improve the quality of life of people. Under the national project "Infrastructure for Life" in Russia, we continue large-scale work to update and bring roads to a standard condition. Road teams have gained a very good pace – since the beginning of the year, 81.3 million square meters of the upper layers of the road surface have been laid, which is over 54% of the planned volume. At the same time, if we compare it with last year, the area of laying has increased, which undoubtedly demonstrates good and well-coordinated work. In the same period of 2024, 75 million square meters of the upper layers of the pavement were laid," said Marat Khusnullin.

The Deputy Prime Minister noted that thanks to the systematic work and responsible approach of governors and regional teams, a number of regions have completed the largest volume of planned work to date.

Thus, in the Kursk region, the area of laying the upper layers of the road surface currently amounts to about 1.34 million square meters, or 78.1% of the planned volume of work. Among the most important objects on the regional road network is the Fatezh-Dmitriev road (14 km). The road is important for residents of the region, as it connects two district centers of the Kursk region – the cities of Dmitriev and Fatezh. In the current road season, special attention is paid to the repair of artificial structures. In the Kursk region, under the national project "Infrastructure for Life", four bridge structures with a total length of 89.7 linear meters were brought into regulatory condition.

In the Orenburg region, the area of asphalt concrete pavement on regional and inter-municipal roads to date has amounted to 712 thousand square meters. This is 74.8% of the planned volume. Two renovated bridges with a total length of 104.2 linear meters have been commissioned. Among the significant projects completed this year is the bridge across the Suunduk River at the 17th km of the Krasnoyarsk – Kvarkeno – Komintern road in the Kvarkensky district. Major repairs are ongoing on one of the longest projects this year – 22 km of the Bugulma – Buguruslan – Buzuluk – Uralsk highway. Of these, 10 km are in the Buguruslan district and 12 km are in the Buzuluk district. This is the largest transport corridor in the western Orenburg region. The road connects about 150 settlements of five districts of the region and provides transit traffic to the Republic of Kazakhstan. The task is to gradually bring the asphalt concrete surface of the highway to a standard condition along its entire length – almost 350 km.

In the Bryansk region, as of early September, the area of asphalt concrete pavement on local, regional and inter-municipal roads amounted to 681 thousand square meters. This is 64.2% of the planned volume. On the eve of Builder's Day, Russian President Vladimir Putin launched traffic on a new overpass in the city of Unecha in the Bryansk region. This strategically important facility connects the city with the federal highway and with other districts of the Bryansk region, as well as with the regional center. In Bryansk, the implementation of a major infrastructure project is being completed: a new street and road network with 9 km of storm sewer pipes has been built in the Flotsky microdistrict.

Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Patrushev held a meeting within the framework of incident No. 58 "Organization of the system for handling municipal solid waste". The work was attended by the management of relevant departments, industry companies, heads of regions and representatives of the Federal Assembly.

Dmitry Patrushev reported that construction of industry infrastructure continues in the regions. The capacities that will appear in 2025 will ensure the processing of more than 1.5 million tons of waste.

"To implement the instructions of the President of Russia and move to a closed-loop economy, it is important that each new facility meets all modern requirements for sorting and environmentally sound disposal. The Russian government is expanding opportunities to increase the pace of commissioning modern waste management facilities. In 2025, 19 regions have been granted the right to conclude concession agreements for the construction of industry infrastructure without a tender. Thanks to this, by 2028, 37 waste management facilities with a total processing capacity of 4.5 million tons should appear," said the Deputy Prime Minister.

The Deputy Prime Minister drew the attention of the heads of the subjects that have already concluded concession agreements to the importance of detailed development of the project implementation deadlines and their integration into the incident information system. This will allow possible deviations to be seen in real time.

The Deputy Prime Minister also added that on-site inspections of facilities have proven their effectiveness, and this practice will be continued on a systematic basis.

One of the most important indicators of the effectiveness of the waste management reform is the order at the container sites in the yards. According to Dmitry Patrushev, over the first eight months of this year, the regions have equipped almost 5 thousand container sites and purchased almost 36 thousand containers.

The fleet of special equipment is being actively updated. Since the beginning of 2025, more than 600 units have been purchased in the regions, a third of them through the preferential leasing mechanism. Dmitry Patrushev instructed the Ministry of Natural Resources and the Russian Ecological Operator to only proceed from real requests when expanding the list of equipment types purchased through this mechanism.

Incident No. 58 “Organization of a system for handling municipal solid waste” was created on the instructions of the Chairman of the Government to ensure the implementation of reform in the area of waste management.

When working in the incident format, a special project management system is used, which is deployed on the basis of the Government Coordination Center. It allows for prompt coordination of the actions of participants and monitoring of project implementation in real time.
