Abstract

Current state of legal regulation on occupational and life safety in Ukraine is analyzed. It was found that the system of normative legal acts  regulating legal relations in the field of life safety and determine technical requirements in various branches of production, has a rather cumbersome appearance and contains laws, by-laws, and technical regulations. General system gaps in the regulatory and technical regulation of the labor activity of certain categories of employees are outlined. The purpose of the work is to highlight individual issues of regulatory framework and outline ways for their solving with the aim of improving the regulatory framework of relations in the field of occupational health and safety, which will have a positive effect on the procedure of forensic expert research on life safety and increase effectiveness of accident investigations. A separate problem is the obsolescence of some acts. Attention is focused on the need to cancel outdated and adopt new documents defining safety rules in dangerous industries. In general, the system of normative regulation of life safety in Ukraine is not sufficiently adapted to international norms of labor regulation, therefore the need to harmonize Ukrainian legislation with international (in particular, European) labor standards is emphasized. In order to improve the legal regulation of labor protection, it is proposed to change the general approach to the principles of regulation, emphasizing “preventive actions”. Research methods: formal-logical, systemic-structural, comparative-legal, as well as the method of systemic analysis
