A register of enterprises according to their risk degree will be created in order to determine the frequency of inspections to be carried out by the Ministry of Emergency Situations

16 August 2017, Wednesday

The frequency of the fire inspector's visits to this or that small and medium-sized business enterprise will be specified in a special list. It will determine the degree of risk of the enterprise's production process, and the schedule of supervisory activities on this or that site will depend from this degree. No scheduled inspections will be carried out in the enterprises of a minimum risk degree. This document has been developed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations in the framework of the reform of supervisory activities.

Depending on the degree of risk, a schedule of planned inspections will be determined. It is understood however, that it will be flexible. It means that, if one enterprise is included in a medium risk category, this procedure  will not be established once and forever. In case of abidance of all mandatory requirements, the supervised facility will have the right to apply for the transition to another lower risk category with less frequency of inspections.

All supervised facilities will be classified into one of the four risk categories, with periodicity of scheduled supervisory activities once in 2 and 3 years for some categories, and not more than every five years for the lower categories.

The MES inspectors will have a new responsibility: complilation of special checklists with clearly defined questions to be controlled. The subject of the planned inspection will be limited solely to the list of issues, included in these check lists. The indicated list is planned to be limited only to those mandatory requirements, the abidance of which is the most important for preventing the threat of harm to life, health of citizens, damage to animals, plants, the environment, cultural heritage sites (historical and cultural monuments) of the peoples of the Russian Federation, the security of the state, as well as the threat of natural and man-made emergency situations.
