To protect against penalties from the supervisory authorities of the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the head must be appointed responsible for civil defense in the organization. For this reason, inspectors should not have a question about who in the enterprise is responsible for civil defense. Even if the facility stops working due to hostilities, the responsibilities of the head of the enterprise's civil defense to carry out measures to protect personnel in emergency situations remain the same.
First steps in organizing civil defense
If more than two hundred people work at an industrial facility, one of them takes responsibility and becomes an authorized person for civil defense and emergency situations at the enterprise. This order is signed by the direct head of the organization. You can download an example of an order in doc format here.
The chief of staff of the first object is a specialist who manages the organization and conduct of civil defense and bears full responsibility for the developed measures to prepare for work in an emergency. He also prepares a special regulation on the Civil Defense and Emergencies Department.
A highly qualified specialist with a higher education who manages civil defense in an organization must, in accordance with the current legislation, undergo appropriate training before starting his direct work.
The developed job description for a civil defense specialist is prepared for operating industrial facilities with a simultaneous presence of at least fifty people on the staff and is subject to mandatory approval by the regional department of the Ministry of Emergencies.
Also, all employees working on the site must know exactly what they will do in the event of an emergency. Understanding your actions is necessary in the event of a flash flood, a strong earthquake that has occurred, a fire or a terrorist attack.
