"Over the past year, we have identified over 18 thousand violations of labor legislation, 10 thousand lawsuits were filed to the courts, instituted almost 1,300 administrative cases were initiated.

The problem is that employers do not invest into improving the working conditions of employees, and also cover up accidents. Therefore, our task is to keep up lifes and health of our employees. "
The head of the department for supervision of occupational health at the Department of Rospotrebnadzor in Sverdlovsk Oblast Vadim Ruzakov analyzed the occupational morbidity in the Sverdlovsk region and determined that the number of deaths from common diseases at work increases with rapid speed. "Now the supermortality of the able-bodied males is registered in the range of 35-55 years. The reasons are extremely simple: working overtime and emotional stress in the workplace. "
