localities and air in production and other premises; stipulates requirements regarding

3) The Law of Ukraine “On high-risk facilities” stipulates for legal, economic,

social and organisational basis of activities related to high-risk facilities and is aimed
at protection of life and health of people and environment against harmful influence
of accidents at such facilities by means of prevention, isolation (localization) and
elimination of aftermath thereof.

4) Moreover, labour protection legal regulation issues are regarded in many
other regulatory legal acts of Ukraine. Chapter 40 "Liabilities entailed by causing
damage" of the Civil Code of Ukraine sets forth the general basis for reimbursement
of damage and in particular establishes liability for health damage and death of an
employee resulted from his/her performance of duties at work. Criminal Code of
Ukraine comprises chapter X "Crimes against production" clauses 271-275 of which
stipulate liability for violation of labour protection requirements either entailing
health damage or death of an employee or creating a situation dangerous for the life
of people.
Apart from the above-mentioned laws, legal relationship in the field of labour
protection is regulated by other national regulatory legal acts, international
agreements and conventions, which Ukraine has become a participant to under
established procedure, as well as by subordinate legislation: decrees and orders of the
President of Ukraine, resolutions of the Government of Ukraine, regulatory
normative acts of Ministries and other central state executive authorities.
For the time being several dozens of international norms and agreements which
Ukraine has become a party to, as well as more than a hundred national laws of
Ukraine directly relate to or overlap with the field of labour protection. Aimed at
regulation of separate issues regarding labour protection pursuant to the Law “On
Labour Protection” almost 2000 subordinate legal acts are in effect. All these
documents form a single legal field in terms of labour protection in our country.
