Carrying out certification of workplaces according to working conditions allows the employer to determine how safely the activities of his employees are organized. At present, all employers, with the exception of individuals without the formation of an individual entrepreneur, should carry out this event.
Evaluation of working conditions and certification of workplaces
It should be noted right away that at present, such a concept as “workplace certification” is not used in legislative acts, it was replaced by “special assessment of working conditions” from 01/01/2014. But in everyday life, the phrase “worker certification” is still more often used places."
At their core, these two concepts are identical, and one and the other implies a special set of measures aimed at identifying harmful and dangerous factors in a particular workplace.
Currently, the current law on attestation of workplaces is the federal law“On the special assessment of working conditions” dated December 28, 2013 No. 426-FZ (hereinafter referred to as the Law).
Certification of workplaces: validity period
The frequency of certification of workplaces is as follows:
- Scheduled special assessment once every 5 years.
- Unscheduled as needed.
Unscheduled certification of workplaces can be carried out in the following cases:
- the emergence of new jobs,
- an accident or occupational disease due to exposure to hazardous factors,
- changes in the technological process,
- order of the GIT inspectors or at the suggestion of the representative body of workers.
For such situations, Article 17 of the Law establishes a deadline of 6 to 12 months for an unscheduled special assessment, depending on the reason that caused it.
Another question that arises for employers who, prior to the entry into force of the Law, had attestation of workplaces: for how many years is such an inspection valid, is it necessary to conduct a special assessment instead? The law states that if there are no prerequisites for an unscheduled assessment, the attestation will be valid for 5 years. That is, if enterprises conducted it before the end of 2013, they need to conduct a special assessment for the first time only in 2018.
Certification of workplaces: who conducts
According to Article 8 of the Law, a special assessment of jobs is organized by the employer with the participation of a company that has the right to carry out such work.
The organization involved has a number of requirements:
- The list of activities must contain the OKPD code for attestation of workplaces: 71.20.19.130 (according to the classifier OK 034-2014).
- The company must employ at least 5 certified experts.
- The structure of the company should include a special accredited laboratory for measurements and samples.
In order to be sure that the company entrusted with the inspection meets the stated requirements, you need to check its presence in a special list, which is located on the ]]> website of the Ministry of Labor ]]> .
How to conduct a workplace assessment yourself
Currently, employers are not entitled to carry out certification of workplaces without the involvement of employees of a company that has the appropriate license. Otherwise, the results of such a special assessment will not be valid.
How is workplace certification carried out?
The procedure for attestation of workplaces in terms of working conditions involves the following activities:
- Issuance of an order for certification, in which a commission and deadlines are appointed.
- A list of jobs subject to special assessment is determined. Here it is necessary to take into account the frequency of certification of workplaces. Only those places are checked, the period of the previous evaluation of which expires.
- Held direct work for the study of documentation, measurements and sampling.
- A report is drawn up, which includes an attestation card and a summary sheet. All the activities carried out are entered into them and a conclusion is made about the safety of the workplace with the assignment of a certain class.
The results of the special assessment should be made known to interested employees.
Workplace attestation card for working conditions
This is a consolidated document in which all information about the workplace being checked is entered, and indicate the level (degree) of exposure to certain factors, for example, the level of APFD (in the certification of workplaces, this abbreviation combines all aerosol substances that may be in the air).
Penalty for the lack of certification of workplaces in 2018
If the employer evades the special assessment or violates its procedure, an administrative penalty is imposed on him. The penalty for the lack of attestation of workplaces is charged under paragraph 2 of Article 5.27.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and amounts to:
- 5000 - 10,000 rubles. for officials and entrepreneurs.
- 60,000 - 80,000 rubles. for organizations.
At the same time, the payment of a fine does not relieve the perpetrator of certification.
How to pay for certification and return part of the funds spent on it
As a rule, the question of cost accounting arises with budget organizations, which pays for the certification of jobs. KOSGU (Classification of Public Sector Operations) in this case refers to Article 220 “Payment for works, services” (Order of the Ministry of Finance dated July 1, 2013 No. 65n).
Another question is how can certification of workplaces be partially compensated? The FSS allows you to pay for it from contributions for "injuries". To do this, you need to submit the appropriate package of documents to the Fund. You can receive funds both for the work already done and for the planned one. The main condition is the absence of debts on insurance premiums.
Certification of workplaces for working conditions includes a set of procedures, measurements and calculations that allow you to identify how safe this or that workplace. This procedure should be carried out by all employers with a certain frequency. What are the deadlines for certification of workplaces regulated by Law No. 426-FZ (On conducting a special assessment) . Its types are divided into planned and unscheduled.
Certification of workplaces according to the new law is replaced by a special assessment of working conditions(SUT) is a check of working conditions, organization of measures for their safety, determination of the presence of a health hazard. The SOUT rules are regulated by Federal Law No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013 and the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. In this article, we will consider how certification of workplaces is carried out according to working conditions, what are the goals of the assessment, what order and list of necessary documents.

The certification process
There are three stages of certification, this is an assessment: hygiene standards, injury risk, security. Based on the results of certification, a comprehensive assessment is concluded. When checking workplaces in production, the impact of the following factors is checked: biological, chemical and physical. When assessing the conditions of labor activity, the intensity of labor and its severity are checked.
Stage 1. Hygiene assessment
Carried out in accordance with the guidelines: R 2.2.013-94 and R 2.2.2006-05. Evaluated sanitary conditions for work, whether hygiene rules are observed, whether there are any violations on the part of the employer, whether all conditions have been created for the safety of the employee. Laboratory examinations and sampling are carried out.
According to the results of the assessment, labor conditions are divided into 4 classes of harmfulness: optimal, permissible, harmful and dangerous.
Stage 2. Injury assessment
The assessment checks working equipment, namely: operational documents; is there any protection when working on this equipment; the presence of fences, signal markings, blocking, etc.; serviceability of signals about breakage, emergency start, interruption of power supply, etc.; protection of equipment and electrical wiring from external influences. The tools and fixtures necessary for the work are assessed, whether they comply with the standards.
The Commission is guided by the following requirements for protection against: mechanical impacts, exposure to electricity, toxicity chemicals, temperature effects, etc. After the evaluation, the working conditions are divided into three classes: optimal, acceptable, dangerous.
Stage 3. Assessment of personal protective equipment
Company employees in without fail provided with the necessary protective equipment. They must meet the following requirements: to have certificates, comply with regulations, meet actual working conditions. If at least one non-compliance with the procedure is found, the workplace is considered not provided with protective equipment.
Final assessment of working conditions
Upon completion of certification, a comprehensive assessment of working conditions is carried out, based on the results of all three stages. After that, a final decision is made - whether the workplace meets state regulatory requirements or does not.
Penalties for violation of the rules for a special assessment of working conditions
Responsibility for the conduct and accuracy of the data lies with the employer. In case of violation, an administrative fine is imposed in the amount of 50 to 80 thousand rubles. The amounts of administrative fines that came into effect on January 01, 2015 are presented in the table below.
| Type of violation | The amount of the administrative fine (rub.) |
Violation labor law | Up to 50,000 |

| For the admission of persons who have not been trained in labor protection | Up to 130,000 |
| For non-compliance with labor protection standards | Up to 150,000 |
| For repeated non-compliance with labor protection standards |
A simple example #1 of determining the punishment for violating the rules for attestation
The company introduced new jobs on May 01, 2016. The employer began to conduct certification of new jobs on August 01, 2016. Are there any violations? What will be the punishment?
There is a violation, since the verification must be carried out within 60 days from the date of the introduction of new jobs. An administrative fine in the amount of 80,000 rubles is imposed on the organization.
Workplaces subject to certification
All workplaces in the organization are subject to certification. The exception is similar (similar) jobs. If the enterprise has such places, then only a part of them is evaluated, namely only 20%, but not less than two.
Similar places must meet the following criteria:
- Positions and professions have the same names;
- Unified technology of work, process;
- A single list of responsibilities;
- Work on the same equipment, using the same raw materials, fixtures, tools, inventory, etc.;
- Similar working premises (either this is one room for all, or it is work in the open air);
- Similar working conditions have been created (air temperature, air conditioning, heating, ventilation, lighting, etc.);
- Same work schedule
- The layout of the equipment is the same;
- Harmfulness of production of one class and one type;
- The same protective equipment.
On the similar places one certification card is started. The result of the assessment (elimination of deficiencies, improvement measures, premiums for harmfulness, etc.) applies to all similar places.
Example #2. Classifying jobs as similar
The sewing factory employs 8 seamstresses. They have the same working conditions, the same sewing machines, work technology, the same job title, one work schedule and the raw materials (materials) used. Are the jobs similar and how many jobs need to be assessed?
8 jobs are similar. 20% of places, but not less than two, must pass certification.
8 * 20% = 1.6, so you need to check 2 similar working metas. If, as a result of checking these places, a decision is made to improve working conditions, then this decision will be extended to all 8 places.
Documents required for the assessment of labor conditions
The table below shows Required documents for, which will be required before certification, in the immediate process of assessment and after verification.
| Before the beginning | Under evaluation | After the |
The order of the head on the creation of the commission and its list. Schedule approved by the manager. | List of places to be checked. Attestation cards for each workplace. Summary sheet of test results. Table of harmfulness classes and allowances for harmfulness. Conclusions based on the results of the state examination (if any). Infringement notices (if any). Information about the accredited organization. Minutes of the committee meeting. Action plan to improve working conditions. | Certificate of Completion. Approved Attestation Report |
The order to complete the certification is signed by the head within 10 days. The manager acquaints the employee with the results of the check against signature. After that within 10 calendar days the employer must submit to the state labor inspectorate in paper and in electronic format: summary sheet of inspection results and information about the accredited organization. The data on the results of the SOUT are posted on the official website of the company within 30 days.

Until 2013, inclusive, certification of workplaces at the enterprise was regulated by Article 212 Labor Code Russian Federation. In accordance with the new Federal Law No. 426-FZ dated December 28, 2013 “On the Special Assessment of Working Conditions”, the concept of “attestation of workplaces” is no longer used in the domestic legal framework. It was replaced by the term "special assessment". Appropriate changes were made to the Labor Code. However, in fact the procedure special evaluation essentially retained all the basic functions of certification.
Formally, a special assessment of working conditions is understood as a list of clearly defined activities carried out in an established sequence in order to identify harmful or dangerous factors that affect the employees of the enterprise in the process of their implementation. professional activity. The result of such a special assessment of jobs at the enterprise should be the definition of classes and subclasses of existing working conditions at the enterprise in accordance with the existing staffing table and the staff actually employed at the enterprise.
Who is subject to mandatory certification of workplaces
Mandatory attestation of workplaces should now be carried out by all employers without exception. For employers this duty assigned by the 212th article of the Labor Code. Also, certification of workplaces from 2014 should be carried out by individual entrepreneurs who have employees hired. Penalties imposed for ignoring the special assessment procedure were significantly toughened, which was reflected in Federal Law No. 421-FZ of 12/28/13. At the same time, both administrative fines (in case of failure to pass the special assessment) and the measure of criminal liability of persons guilty of accidents occurring at work were increased.
Entrepreneurs who do not use the labor of hired employees and, accordingly, do not organize jobs that are subject to certification, are not required to organize an assessment. Also, the special assessment does not affect individuals who do not have the status of an individual entrepreneur. This provision is defined in Article 3 of Federal Law No. 426-FZ.
Which jobs should be assessed
The list of jobs that were previously covered by the procedure for attestation of jobs is not identical to the list of jobs for which a special assessment should be carried out in accordance with the new legislative norms.
The management of the enterprise should pay attention to the fact that earlier certification of workplaces was carried out only in relation to those positions where manual labor, vehicles, machines, mechanisms, devices and devices that pose a danger to the life and health of employees. That is, formally, some jobs could not be subject to certification. Currently, the special assessment of jobs covers all jobs without any exceptions. This moment especially should be taken into account in the special assessment of workplaces of office employees. Previously, it was these positions that were most often excluded from the certification process.
In addition, if previously the workplaces of home-based employees and employees working remotely were certified on a general basis, now the existing normative base allows not to conduct a special assessment in these cases.
Frequency of conducting a special assessment of jobs
According to existing legislation, a special assessment of jobs should be carried out at least once every five years. Despite the change in the relevant legislation, the previously conducted certification is recognized as valid, and before the expiration of its validity period, there is no need to organize a special assessment.
At the same time, the law stipulates a number of cases in which an unscheduled special assessment is required. First of all, this applies to situations in which previously non-existing jobs appear at the enterprise. In addition, a special assessment is needed in a situation significant changes working conditions: transformations technological process, the beginning of work with previously unused materials, work in new conditions.
A special assessment should be carried out if an accident has occurred at the enterprise or employees have been identified occupational diseases resulting from harmful working conditions.
A safety manager or trade union organization may also initiate a special assessment.
Initiation of the Special Evaluation Procedure
To conduct a special assessment, the employer must organize a special commission and conclude an agreement for the assessment with an organization specializing in this type of activity. The cost of certification of workplaces ranges from 1,500 rubles to 6,000 rubles per workplace. The specific price depends on the complexity of the upcoming work and how unified the workplaces at the enterprise are.
The specified commission should include representatives of the employer, the manager responsible for labor protection at the enterprise and representatives of the trade union. With regard to small businesses, it is mandatory to include the head of the enterprise in the commission.
A specific example of workplace attestation can only be recognized as complying with legislative norms if the third-party organization involved meets a number of requirements. Firstly, in the statutory documents of the organization, the conduct of a special assessment of working conditions should be designated as the main activity. Secondly, the organization must have a laboratory that has passed a special accreditation procedure. Thirdly, the employees of the organization must be represented by at least five specialist experts who have special certificates for carrying out work on job evaluation. Among these specialists, the presence of a doctor specializing in occupational health is mandatory.
These organizations and specialists must be included in a special register and be independent parties in relation to the enterprise where the certification of workplaces is planned.
The mechanism for conducting a special assessment of jobs at the enterprise
In the process of a special assessment, workplaces are examined for the presence of dangerous and harmful factors that may threaten the employees of the enterprise. In the process of this work, a special declaration is filled out, in which all workplaces where no threats have been identified are entered. Later, this declaration is submitted to labor inspection. At the moment, the declaration form has not yet been developed, but its approval is expected in the near future.
Workplaces where hazards have been identified are subject to additional research, accompanied by the necessary tests. After this work, such jobs are assigned a certain class of working conditions: “optimal”, “permissible”, “harmful” or “dangerous”. Harmful working conditions are also classified into four subclasses. This information is reflected in the special report of the commission (the form of the report has not yet been approved). The employer must be familiar with the report against signature.
What is the effect of a special assessment of jobs
The results of the special assessment are reflected when filling out the 4-FSS form. The information obtained serves as the basis for the fund social insurance in relation to the insured, determine the amount of the discount or surcharge on contributions "for injuries".
In addition, the results of the special assessment are used to determine additional tariffs applicable to contributions to the FIU. Article 58.3 of Federal Law No. 212-FZ of July 24, 2009 states that, depending on the class and subclass assigned to the workplace, the tariff level can vary by 0 to 8 percent.
The results of a special assessment are used when organizing a procedure at the enterprise medical examinations or to carry out work aimed at improving working conditions. This is regulated by the seventh article of the Federal Law No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013 "On a special assessment of working conditions."
From January 1, 2014, in accordance with the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013, the attestation of workplaces was replaced by a special assessment of working conditions. Due to lack of experience and lack of necessary equipment, many enterprises do not have the opportunity to carry out certification of workplaces for working conditions on their own, which is why they turn to specially created services, among which the SOTARM company is one.

Why is a workplace assessment carried out? How to do it right? How often should job performance reviews be carried out? What is the cost of this procedure? What threatens for violation of the terms of certification? You will find the answer to these and other questions in the article.
According to the provisions of labor legislation, organizations and individual entrepreneurs that are employers, regardless of the taxation regime they apply, must carry out certification of workplaces for working conditions. And what is it? According to Article 209 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, attestation of workplaces for working conditions is an assessment of working conditions at workplaces in order to identify harmful and (or) dangerous production factors. The procedure for attestation of workplaces in terms of working conditions was approved by order of the Ministry of Health and Social Development of Russia dated April 26, 2011 No. 342n (hereinafter referred to as the Procedure). The specified Procedure contains requirements for certification, registration of its results and their use. At the same time, we note that the Ministry of Labor of Russia, by its order of December 12, 2012 No. 590n, made some changes to the Procedure, which entered into force on February 26, 2013. Therefore, when conducting certification at the present time, these amendments should also be taken into account.
From January 1, 2014, instead of certification of workplaces, a special assessment of working conditions was introduced, which must be carried out in accordance with Federal Law No. 426-FZ of December 28, 2013. You can view and download the Federal Law for free, as well as forms and forms of orders for a special labor assessment, by registering at.
What jobs are subject to certification
Prior to the entry into force of the order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated December 12, 2012 No. 590n, the employer should have attested all workplaces. Since February 26, 2013, the list of jobs subject to mandatory certification has been reduced. Now certification should be carried out only at those workplaces, performance labor functions which may cause harm to the health and life of the employee. So, in accordance with paragraph 4 of the Procedure for mandatory certification, workplaces are subject to:
Work is carried out with equipment, machines, mechanisms, installations, devices, devices, vehicles;
Operation, maintenance, testing, adjustment and repair of equipment, machines, mechanisms, installations, devices, devices, vehicles;
Work is carried out with sources of danger that can have a harmful effect on the employee and are determined by the certification commission based on the criteria for assessing working conditions;
An electrified, mechanized or other hand tool is used;
Stored, moved and (or) used raw materials and materials.
Note that both existing jobs and those newly created in the process of doing business (for example, during the reconstruction of production, the introduction of new equipment) are subject to mandatory certification.
At the same time, the workplaces of those employees whose labor activity associated exclusively with:
With work on computers;
Operation of copiers (copiers, printers) or other equipment for the needs of the organization itself;
Using household appliances, which is not involved in the production process.
Thus, workplaces that use conventional office equipment do not need to be certified. However, if the employee himself or a trade union representative applies to the employer with an application for attestation at the relevant workplace, the organization or individual entrepreneur will be required to conduct it. In addition, the labor inspectorate can oblige the employer to certify a particular workplace by issuing an appropriate order (clause 47 of the Procedure).
Types of certification of workplaces and the timing of its implementation
Three types of certification can be distinguished depending on the period and basis of the conduction:
primary;
Repeated;
Unscheduled.
The basis for the primary certification of workplaces is the organization of a new workplace. This happens in two cases. The first is the creation of an organization legal entity or IP registration. The second is the completion of construction, reconstruction, technical re-equipment of production, the introduction of new equipment and technologies.
Note that the period during which certification must be carried out when creating an organization (registration of an individual entrepreneur) is not defined. But in the second case, certification must be carried out no later than one year from the date of creation of such jobs (clause 4 of the Order).
Re-certification of workplaces is carried out at workplaces where, according to the results of the previous certification, harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions were established. Workplaces with the presence of production factors and work, during the performance of which it is mandatory to conduct preliminary and periodic medical examinations (examinations), are also subject to re-certification. About this - paragraph 8 of the Order. Such certification is carried out at least once every five years. Moreover, the countdown of the five-year period begins from the date of completion of the previous certification.
The grounds for conducting unscheduled certification of workplaces are established by paragraphs 47 and 48 of the Order. These include:
Appeal of the employee on the certification of his workplace;
Appeal of the representative of the trade union;
The results of the state examination of working conditions, conducted in order to assess the quality of certification;
Order of Rostrud or the state labor inspectorate issued to the employer;
Bringing working conditions in line with state regulatory requirements for labor protection;
Improvement of working conditions;
Replacement of production equipment;
Changing the technological process;
Changing the means of collective protection.
The procedure for certification
The process of certification of workplaces according to working conditions can be divided into several stages.
The first step is to determine the composition attestation commission. In accordance with paragraph 10 of the Procedure, the commission includes representatives of the employer, a labor protection specialist, representatives of the trade union organization, as well as the certifying organization. The representative of the employer may be heads of structural divisions, lawyers, personnel specialists. The certification committee is headed by a representative of the employer.
The functions that are assigned to the certification commission are listed in paragraph 12 of the Procedure. These include:
Implementation of management and control over the certification at all its stages;
Formation of a set of legal and local regulations, organizational, administrative and methodological documents necessary for attestation and organization of their study;
Drawing up a list of jobs subject to certification, identifying similar jobs and indicating the factors of the working environment and the labor process, the risk of injury and the security of the employee special clothing, special footwear and other means personal protection(PPE);
Preparation of proposals to bring the names of professions and positions of employees in line with the requirements of the Unified Tariff qualification handbook works and professions of workers and the Unified Qualification Directory for the positions of managers, specialists and employees;
Specified unified directories approved by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of October 31, 2002 No. 787
Assigning a number to each workplace;
Filling in and signing the workplace attestation card for working conditions (a sample card and recommendations for filling it out are given in Appendixes No. 2 and 3 to the Procedure);
Preparation of proposals for amendments and (or) additions to labor contract in terms of the employer's obligation to provide the employee with PPE, establish an appropriate work and rest regime, as well as other guarantees and compensations provided for by law for work in harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions;
Development of an action plan based on the results of certification to bring working conditions in line with state regulatory requirements for labor protection.
At the second stage, the head of the organization or the merchant issues an order to conduct certification of workplaces (clause 11 of the Procedure). unified form the order has not been approved, therefore the employer draws it up in any form, but must indicate:
Composition of the attestation commission;
Full name of the chairman of the attestation commission;
Certification period.
Do not forget to familiarize yourself with the order on the certification of all members of the certification commission and other persons indicated in it.
At the third stage, the certification process itself begins, which is carried out by the employer together with the certification organization on the basis of a civil law contract.
The functions of the certifying organization include:
Certification can only be carried out by an organization that has accreditation
Measurement and evaluation of factors of the working environment and the labor process;
Assessment of compliance of working conditions with state regulatory requirements for labor protection;
Drafting and preparation of an attestation report.
In accordance with paragraph 6 of the Procedure, the employer has the right to attract several attesting organizations. At the same time, certification work can be distributed between certification organizations both by the number of workplaces subject to certification, and by the types of work performed at these workplaces.
So, the certification process begins with the compilation of a list of jobs by the certification commission.
Recall that the workplace is the place where the employee must be or where he needs to arrive in connection with his work and which is directly or indirectly under the control of the employer (Article 209 of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation).
To compile a list of jobs, use staffing and a list of employees indicating the profession (position) and structural unit. Each workplace is assigned a unique serial number (from 1 to 99 999 999), that is, no more than eight characters.
Then the certifying organization assesses the compliance of working conditions with state regulatory requirements for labor protection. It includes:
Assessment of compliance of working conditions with hygienic standards;
Assessment of the injury risk of workplaces;
Assessment of the provision of PPE employees;
A comprehensive assessment of working conditions in the workplace.
Take note
What are similar jobs?
According to the provisions of the legislation, when compiling a list of jobs, similar jobs should be allocated. Such places can be identified by the combination of the following signs:
Professions or positions of the same name;
Doing the same professional duties when conducting the same type of technological process in the same mode of operation;
Use of the same type of production equipment, tools, fixtures, materials and raw materials, work in one or more of the same type of premises or outdoors;
Use of the same type of ventilation, air conditioning, heating and lighting systems;
The same location of objects ( production equipment, vehicles, etc.) in the workplace;
The same set of harmful and (or) hazardous production factors of the same class and degree;
Equal provision of personal protective equipment.
When assigning a serial number, similar jobs are designated by the letter "a".
About this - paragraph 12 of the Order.
All measurements and assessments are documented in a protocol, which is signed by the specialists of the certification organization who carried out the measurements and assessments, as well as by the responsible official of this organization, and certified with a seal (clauses 18, 27 and 37 of the Procedure).
As a result of the certification comprehensive assessment working conditions, a workplace can be recognized as:
Compliant with state regulatory requirements for labor protection. Such a decision is made if the compliance of working conditions at the workplace with hygienic standards, the workplace with the requirements for providing employees with PPE is established, and there is no non-compliance of the workplace with labor protection requirements (clause 37 of the Procedure);
Does not comply with state regulatory requirements for labor protection. The specified decision is made with a negative assessment of at least one of the above parameters (clause 38 of the Order).
When classifying working conditions in the workplace as hazardous conditions labor, the employer should immediately develop and implement a set of measures aimed at reducing the level of exposure to hazardous factors in the working environment and the labor process or at reducing the time of their exposure (clause 39 of the Procedure).
We draw up the results of the certification
According to paragraph 44 of the Procedure, the results of the certification of the workplace in terms of working conditions are drawn up by the certification commission in the form of a certification report. The following documents must be attached to this report:
Order on the establishment of an attestation commission and approval of the schedule for the attestation work;
List of jobs subject to certification;
Workplace attestation cards with measurement and evaluation protocols;
Summary sheet of the results of attestation of workplaces (Appendix No. 6 to the Order);
Summary table of classes of working conditions established based on the results of certification, and compensations that must be established for employees (Appendix No. 7 to the Procedure);

Minutes of the meetings of the attestation commission;
Conclusions based on the results of the state examination of working conditions (if any);
Orders of officials on detected violations (if any).
Further, the attestation commission, within 10 calendar days from the date of receipt of the report, considers it, signs the minutes of the meeting of the attestation commission based on the results of the attestation of workplaces and sends it along with the attestation report to the employer.
The stage that completes the certification process is the signing by the employer of an order to complete the certification and approve the certification report. For this, he is given 10 working days from the date of receipt of the final protocol of the meeting of the attestation commission. Do not forget to familiarize with the order on the completion of the certification of all members of the certification commission, employees, as well as other persons indicated in it.
There is also no unified form of such an order, therefore, an organization or an individual entrepreneur develops it independently.
After reviewing the order on the completion of certification of all persons indicated in it, the employer is obliged to send to the state labor inspectorate:
Consolidated statement of the results of attestation of workplaces;
Information about the certifying organization;
Cover letter on employer's letterhead.
These documents are submitted on paper and in electronic form. 10 calendar days are allotted for submission of documents from the date of issuance of the order on the completion of the attestation of workplaces and the approval of the attestation report (clause 45 of the Procedure).
On the procedure for transferring information about attestation to the FSS of the Russian Federation, see the article “It will be necessary to report on insurance premiums by new form" // Vmenenka, 2012, No. 11
What threatens for violation of the terms of certification
Paragraph 52 of the Procedure establishes that the responsibility for the certification, the reliability and completeness of the provision of information to the labor inspectorate rests with the employer. For the reliability of measurements and assessments, the responsibility rests with the employer and the certifying organization. So, in case of violation of the certification procedure, as well as the employer reporting false information to the labor inspectorate, the employer may be held administratively liable under Article 5.27 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
The penalty in this case will be:
For official- from 1000 to 5000 rubles;

Please note: if the certification of workplaces was carried out after December 1, 2010 by a non-accredited organization, the labor inspectorate has the right to require the employer to re-certify. About this - paragraph 11 of the order of Rostrud dated August 31, 2011 No. 193.
