The main legislative requirements for labor protection in different countries are considered. The rules for ensuring labor safety in Russia, Germany, Italy and Japan have a common basis and are generally similar, however, they have some features, such as the mandatory presence of medical aid rooms and emergency rescue teams in the structure of enterprises. The dynamics of the decline in injury rates in Russia is positive, but several times lower than in the countries under consideration. Differences in the weight of fines for violations of legal requirements in the field of labor protection in Russia, Germany and Italy are comparable to the level of their discrepancy in terms of occupational injuries. In order to increase the rate of reduction of occupational injuries, it is recommended to introduce mandatory medical supervision at enterprises and to tighten penalties by an order of magnitude for violations of the requirements of labor legislation on labor protection.
