Purpose. Searching for prospects for improving the social dialogue between representatives of the authorities, employers and workers to improve the state of occupational safety and hygiene in Ukraine based on international experience. Methodology. Special methods of research – methods of collecting and summarizing information, critical analysis and forecasting, analytical methods (analysis of injury statistics and its causes), methods of system analysis (for formulating theoretical and applied generalizations). Results. The relevance of the problem of improving social dialogue in Ukraine in the conditions of martial law has been considered. Based on the data of international studies, it has been assumed that there is a correlation between the effectiveness of social dialogue in society and the state of labor safety. Examples of international experience where social dialogue is a tool for promoting health and safety at work have also been given. It has been shown that the ineffectiveness of a social dialogue in the field of labor is indicated by the high level of industrial injuries in Ukraine. The causes of industrial injuries for 2019-2021, as well as operational data on fatal accidents and group accidents related to production in the Volyn region, have been analyzed. It has been found that one of the indicators of the Sustainable Development Goals – the number of fatal industrial injuries per 100,000 workers – in Ukraine is twice as high as in developed European countries. In order to improve the state of safety and occupational hygiene at enterprises, it has been proposed to form advisory committees to facilitate interaction between representatives of the authorities, employers and employees. Digitalization, which is one of the «vectors of change» in the process of production or service provision, will also help reduce the number of accidents at the current stage. Scientific novelty. The research consists in the first substantiated possibility of improving the social dialogue between representatives of the authorities, employers and workers in order to improve the state of safety and occupational hygiene in Ukraine on the basis of international experience. Practical significance. For the restoration of the Ukrainian economy and faster integration into the European environment, an important role belongs to social dialogue as an effective tool for solving society problems. The proposed solutions allow to improve the social dialogue between representatives of the authorities, employers and employees to reduce the level of industrial injuries in Ukraine.
