Employers in the Kirov region can recover up to 30% of occupational safety expenses.

      Employers in the Kirov region can submit an application to the regional branch of the Social Fund of Russia by August 1 to receive compensation for a portion of the costs related to occupational safety. The program allows for a reimbursement of up to 20% of insurance contributions, and in some cases—up to 30%.

      This concerns reimbursement of expenses for activities aimed at preventing injuries and occupational diseases at the workplace. Starting in 2024, the process of obtaining compensation has been simplified: now it is sufficient to submit an application and a plan for financial support of preventive measures.

      The program includes 17 areas, such as mandatory medical examinations, a special assessment of working conditions, procurement of personal protective equipment, occupational safety training, and the organization of medical and preventive nutrition. The most in-demand areas are the special assessment of working conditions, medical examinations, and sanatorium-resort treatment.

      If an employer arranges treatment in a sanatorium for employees approaching retirement age, the amount of compensation increases to 30%.

      "Any organization, regardless of ownership form, can receive financial support for occupational safety. The main condition is the absence of debts on insurance contributions, penalties, and fines," noted Nikolay Pasynkov, head of the Social Fund branch in Kirov region.

      Applications can be submitted via the Gosuslugi portal. For additional information, employers can contact the nearest client service center of the fund or call the regional helpline: 8 (8332) 528-200. There is also a single contact center: 8 800 100 00 01.
