Purpose. Study of factors, directions and toold of regulation influencing the development of modern conditions in the sphere of labor safety. Methods. On the basis of a systematic approach the author analyzed dynamics of indices of industrial accidents in the RF in comparison with similar indices in RKS; identified possibilities and risks of realization in connection with the adoption of the Federal law of the RF № 426-FZ “On special assessment of industrial conditions”, December 28, 2013. Results. The article points out that though for 2005 - 2012 the number of employees who died in the Russian economy decreased from 3200 up to 2890, in the construction sphere accordingly - from 754 up to 699 people. Nevertheless, the degree of certainty of the Russian statistics in the sphere of labor safety, according to the expert evaluation, is rather high. Therefore compatibility (exact) of death cases in the RF and the USA and also less-than-lethal cases shows that the number of industrial accidents in the RF must be mot 70-80 thousand (Official data), but from 1,2 up to 3 mln. of people. The presented data show that the sphere of the Russian official statistics encompasses only not more than 2-5% of accidents. Mainly it happens because that in Russia there is no official statistics of professional accidents as they have it in EC countries and the USA. The information published by the RF Ministry of Labor is not informative as data about types and causes of injuries are not interesting for research of risks connected with professions of the injured. Scientific novelty. The article analyses not only the existing situation in the sphere of labor safety in the Russian economy, but possible consequences and risks connected with December 28, 2013 of the Federal law of the Russian Federation № 426-FZ “On special assessment of labor conditions”.
