The Russian Federation

With the arrival of 2021, the legislation of the Russian Federation is undergoing important changes and additions, which also affected the labor legislation. This creates the preconditions for the qualitative development of a risk-based approach in the field of occupational health and safety on Russian organizations. The study provides an overview of the current situation in the development of a risk-based approach to occupational health and safety management, and the problem of assessing occupational risks at construction enterprises is presented. Despite the promising changes in labor legislation, the employer still faces the difficult task of choosing a method for assessing occupational risks. The article presents a comparative analysis of existing methods for assessing professional risks, as a result of which the most suitable methodological approach to assessing professional risks in construction organizations was identified.

The Republic

In South Africa employees are protected by various pieces of legislation. Section 23 of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa 1996 provides for a right to fair labour practice. In its preamble the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995 (hereafter referred to as the LRA) states that the purpose of the Act is to advance economic development, social justice, labour peace and democratisation of the workplace. The LRA also states that one of its objectives is to give effect to and regulate the fundamental rights conferred by section 27 of the Constitution. The Occupational Health and Safety Act as amended by the Occupational Health and Safety Amendment Act 181 of 1993 provides for the health and safety of persons at work and for the health and safety of persons in connection with the use of plant and machinery. The LRA provides for dismissal for incapacity and dismissals for misconduct. It also differentiates between the two. The LRA provides for both substantive and procedural fairness when dismissing an employee for incapacity and misconduct. This paper will examine the rationale behind differentiating between dismissal for drunkenness and dismissal for alcoholism.
