Basic principles of organization and conduct of civil defense in an organization
One of the main principles of organizing civil defense is that such events are currently the most important state function to ensure the necessary protection of the residing civilian population, which also ensures the security of the state itself.
The fundamentals of the organization and conduct of civil defense indicate that all planned civil defense measures should be carried out in advance in a peaceful period of time, taking into account the degree of development of weapons, modern technology and means to ensure the protection of the population from a number of dangers that invariably arise in an emergency.
The conduct of civil defense on the territory of our country begins precisely from the moment a war is declared, the beginning of a military conflict and the declared introduction of martial law, as well as in the event of emergencies of different nature.
What's new?
The commitment of the management to instruct employees strictly no later than thirty days from the start of their activities became the main innovation of this spring, prepared by the Ministry of Emergencies. According to the current provisions, acquaintance with civil defense measures will be carried out by all organizations and acting individual entrepreneurs.
The regulations of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on civil defense specify that its main subject is legal entities and all entrepreneurs, despite the area of their work and the number of employees present in the workforce.
You will also need to perform the following tasks:
- A program for conducting induction training at modern operating enterprises.

It is known that quite recently the introductory briefing on civil defense and emergency situations in the organization was carried out at the request of the direct management, and the working personnel were trained as follows:
- development of the necessary program for training civil defense;
