Important point
The regulatory enactments provide for special rules for the examination of industrial safety. Verification is carried out by an organization licensed to conduct this activity. Permissive document issued by Rostekhnadzor. In addition, the rules for conducting an industrial safety review prohibit its implementation by organizations affiliated with the operating company.

The normative document is also the Administrative Regulation for the provision of public services for maintaining records of conclusions after inspections.
Stages of control
Examination of industrial safety of hazardous production facilities includes four stages:
