Occupational safety and health has been and remains a critical socio-economic issue requiring constant attention from the state, employers, and worker associations. Occupational safety and health is vital for employees, employers, and society as a whole. Success in the continuous, demanding, and meticulous work aimed at preserving the life, health, and working capacity of employees at every workplace can only be achieved by uniting the efforts of employers and employees. It is from this perspective that real activities should be structured when organizing occupational safety and health at the employer's level. Employees must comply with occupational safety and health requirements and fulfill the duties established by legislation and regulatory occupational safety and health requirements.

For an employee, occupational safety and health is the only way to preserve their most valuable asset – life, health, and working capacity. It must be an integral and strictly observed part of their work duties. Unfortunately, in reality, we often encounter employee indifference to their own fate and a low level of culture in labor relations. It is well known that work in safe and healthy conditions at the workplace requires a sufficient stock of knowledge and skills in modern methods of organizing safe labor. Improving the knowledge level of managers and their deputies, specialists, and employees is the key solution to a number of problems related to these issues.
