Organization of the system of industrial safety management in the engineering division if based on the Provisions on industrial safety management of hazardous facilities. The system of industrial safety management provides for a number of interrelated organizational and technical measures performed by the companies of the engineering division with the purpose of preventing accidents and incidents at hazardous industrial facilities, of localization and elimination of the consequences of such accidents.

The the system of industrial safety management in the engineering division embraces not only the organizations of the division that operate hazardous industrial facilities, but also the contractors that perform works at nuclear facilities construction sites.

Within the framework of internal control of safety and quality for safety assurance, a multi-staged control system over the observance of industrial safety requirements, is provided for.

The companies of the industrial divisions that operate hazardous industrial facilities, ensure control over the observation of industrial safety requirements, in accordance with the provisions of the Resolution of RF Government dated 10.03.1999 No 263 “On Organization and Performance of Industrial Control over the Observation of industrial safety requirements at hazardous industrial facilities”.
