Review

Abstract. The article is devoted to issues of occupational safety and health in the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. The purpose of the article is to study and generalize the practice of the ECtHR, which concerns issues of occupational safety and health, in particular in cases of criminal offenses. The decision of the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR) in the cases of Öneryıldız v. Turkey; Vilnes fnd others v. Norway; Brincat and others v. Malta; Budaeva and others v. Russia; Kolyadenko and others v. Russia; Kosmata v.Ukraine, in which Article 2 and Article 8 of the European Convention for the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms (ECHR) are applied to labor relations, in particular offenses that resulted in or risked harm to the life and/or health of employees. The methods of legal regulation of responsibility for offenses that encroach on the human right to safe working conditions in different countries were considered, and it was noted that the Criminal Code of Ukraine chose the most successful approach, which allows distinguishing such criminal offenses from others, for example, against human life and health. The decisions of the ECtHR determined that the positive obligation of the state is to ensure the protection of the right to life from industrial risks; human rights to information about industrial (production) risks; the expediency of criminal proceedings, if the case concerns dangerous types of activity. This should be taken into account by national courts during consideration of relevant cases and by authorized entities during pre-trial investigation.

Key words: European Court of Human Rights; decision of the European Court of Human Rights, Convention on the Protection of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms, safe working conditions, occupational safety, production safety, criminal proceedings.
