Interrelation of regulatory legal acts regulating professional functions of the labor protection specialist

Abstract

The work shows the history of the development of the profession of a specialist in the field of labor protection. For the first time in the Russian Empire the training of specialists in the field of labor protection took place in the beginning of the 20th century at the Peter the Great Institute, St. Petersburg. In this paper the professional duties of a specialist in the field of labor protection specified in current regulatory legal acts are considered, including working in commissions on labor protection, accident investigation, drafting documents, orders, plans and reports relating to labor protection and providing advice to heads of departments and enterprises about issues in labor protection. It is indicated they have organizational, managerial and supervisory content. The analysis of the content of professional competencies of the Federal State Educational Standard of Higher Education "Technospheric safety" and the labor functions of a specialist in the field of labor protection is presented. It is indicated that some of the academic disciplines included in educational programs are very distantly related to the activities of a labor protection specialist. At the same time, academic disciplines arising from the professional duties of a labor protection specialist are not included in the curricula, which indicates the need for a substantial adjustment of the content of the educational standard for technospheric safety and, above all, towards a more complete account of those functions that are imposed by current regulatory legal acts on specialists of labor protection services organizations. The list of professionally orienteering disciplines that should be included in the curriculum for preparing students in the "Technospheric safety" training area is presented.
