About legal assignment of application of techniques of health risk evaluation in the legislation of the Russian Federation regulating sanitary epidemiological well-being of population
The countries-members of Eurasian economic society developed legislative base of implementation of health risks evaluation. In the Russian Federation the law on sanitary epidemiological well-being includes no requirements concerning evaluation of risk while criteria of acceptable health risks are formulated and stated in guidance and methodical documents of Rospotrebnadzor. At the same time, absence of concepts of risk and risk evaluation in the law on sanitary epidemiological well-being of population results in serious legal difficulties in case of application of results of risk evaluation and management decision making on their basis. The analysis of countries-members of Eurasian economic union permitted to develop proposals concerning introduction of alterations and additions in the law on sanitary epidemiological well-being ofpopulation of Russia for assigning evaluation of risks ofpopulation health in legislation of the Russian Federation.
