What does Rospotrebnadzor check for social services. Inspections of the sanitary and epidemiological service at the enterprise

Usually the heart of entrepreneurs stops at the sight of inspectors from the tax service. It is understandable, many have heard about the threat that they pose to the quiet life of the enterprise ... But for some reason, many people treat employees from the bodies of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service (hereinafter - SES) without due seriousness. And in vain, they are not so harmless as it seems at first glance.

After all, in addition to traditional administrative and financial sanctions, in the arsenal of inspectors from the SES bodies, such effective measures of influence as restriction, temporary ban or termination economic activity. And given that sanitary legislation is quite extensive and often obscure to non-specialists, SES checks can be considered one of the most dangerous.

When checking business entities, SES employees should be guided by Law on Inspections, as well as special regulations, in particular Law No. 4004 and Regulations on sanitary supervision. Therefore, it does not interfere with the acquaintance of these documents with the heads of enterprises.

In accordance with Art. 39 Law No. 4004 checks are a way of implementing state sanitary and epidemiological supervision. And a prerequisite for conducting sanitary and epidemiological supervision is a real or perceived threat harmful effects on people's health dangerous factors. Therefore, the favorite objects of inspections for SES employees are enterprises Catering, trade, health centers, etc. But the usual office rooms they are of little interest.

Check: by plan or suddenly

The main duty of SES specialists is to constantly monitor the compliance of enterprises and individuals with sanitary and anti-epidemic norms and rules. This obligation is fulfilled through planned and unscheduled checks.

Scheduled checks are carried out selectively according to plans that are developed by the SES bodies and approved by the Chief Sanitary Doctor.

How often can such checks be carried out?- you ask. Previously, that is, before the Law on Inspections came into force, inspectors from the SES (as well as from other regulatory bodies) could visit your enterprise no more than once a calendar year. Now it all depends on the degree of risk of economic activity of your enterprise(i.e., the degree of likelihood of negative consequences from the implementation of your business activities for human health and environment).

Criteria for dividing business entities by degree of risk are determined by the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine. If for some reason the criteria for an economic entity are not approved, it is considered that it has an insignificant degree of risk, which means that it can be checked no more than once every five years. This is exactly the situation we have today with scheduled inspections of SES.

The SES authorities can obtain the right to conduct a scheduled on-site inspection only if not later than 10 calendar days before the day of the proposed inspection, they will notify the audited enterprise in writing. Lack of prior notification is the basis for not admitting the inspectors to the audit.

unscheduled checks are carried out depending on the sanitary and epidemiological situation, as well as according to reports from enterprises, institutions, organizations and applications from citizens. The basis for its implementation is the decision of the Chief Sanitary Doctor. That is, they can come with such a check at almost any time, even if the previous visit of SES workers to your enterprise was just recently. In addition, inspectors from the SES must will come to an enterprise with an unscheduled inspection during the investigation of the causes and conditions for the occurrence of infectious diseases, poisoning, epidemic situations. You need to be prepared for a meeting with SES employees when inspecting facilities that are being put into operation, as well as when obtaining permission to carry out certain types of activities and in a number of other cases.

Scheduled inspection period may not exceed 15 business days, and for small businesses - 5 business days. Unscheduled inspections are carried out no longer than 10 working days, and in relation to small businesses - 2 working days.

Scheduled and unscheduled inspections are carried out only in work time, and established by the rules internal work schedule enterprises . This means that if, let's say, a restaurant is open in the evening and at night, he should expect a visit from the SES even at night. In addition, the audit must be attended by the head of the audited enterprise or his deputy. I would also like to draw the attention of business entities to the fact that Inspection Law granted enterprises a number of additional rights: third parties (for example, a consultant on sanitary legislation) can now be present at the inspection, and the progress of the inspection can be recorded using audio and video equipment.

In addition to inspections of current economic activity, in a number of cases, state sanitary and hygienic examinations must be carried out at enterprises. (The temporary procedure for conducting the state sanitary and hygienic examination was approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 09.10.2000 No. 247.) The objects specified in Art. eleven Law No. 4004(operating objects; project documentation on the land; products and materials that can cause harm to people's health), if they have not been previously examined and the owner of the facility does not have a valid positive expert opinion to this object.

What are the rights of the SES?

The officials of the SES bodies exercising state sanitary and epidemiological supervision have been granted fairly broad powers. In particular, they have the right to:

freely enter the territory and premises of all objects of supervision on the basis of an official certificate;
establish binding instructions for the elimination of identified violations sanitary norms;
receive free of charge from legal and individuals materials, information, statistical and other data characterizing the sanitary and epidemic state of objects and people's health;
seize free samples of raw materials, products, materials for the state sanitary and epidemiological examination and laboratory research.

Your documents?!

According to paragraph 9 Sanitary supervision regulations the check is carried out by SES officials on the directions of the Chief State Sanitary Doctor or his deputies. Inspectors can enter the territory and premises of all objects of supervision only upon presentation of an official ID. Thus, the first thing the head of the enterprise (his deputy) should do in case of a visit officials SES, this is to ask them to present an official ID and a referral for verification. The absence of these documents or the presence of violations in their execution (for example, a mismatch between the actual start date of the inspection and the date indicated in the referral; changes in the composition of the participants in the inspection, etc.) is the basis for preventing inspectors from entering the enterprise. In addition, inspectors are required to provide the company with a copy of the referral for verification. In case of refusal to provide a copy, they can also be excluded from verification.

Before starting the inspection, SES employees must make an appropriate entry in the journal of inspections of the business entity (if any).

Registration of results

The fact of the violation revealed during the inspection must be recorded in the protocol. The basis for its preparation is a violation by an enterprise or entrepreneur health legislation, as well as failure to comply with resolutions, orders, instructions, conclusions of SES officials. If the facts of violations at the time of the check are contained in other documents (for example, the conclusions of the sanitary and hygienic examination, memorandums, statements and complaints), they are also attached to the protocol. The protocol is drawn up in three copies: one of them is transferred within 3 days to the official authorized to consider the case, the second - to the violator, the third - remains with the official who compiled it.

Based on the results of the inspection, an act of checking compliance with sanitary legislation is mandatory. It must be completed no later than last day end of the check. Note that this document is drawn up regardless of whether the fact of violation of sanitary legislation or non-compliance with the instructions of SES officials is established.

Since all documents drawn up during the audit can potentially be used later to decide on the application of administrative and financial sanctions, you should carefully read their contents and make sure that you keep copies of them. All your comments and objections should also be recorded in the act.

Financial sanctions

The act of inspection, the protocol on violation of sanitary standards, as well as the decision to impose are the basis for applying financial sanctions to violators. Administrative fines are collected in the manner prescribed by Instruction No. 64, and financial Order No. 135.

Questions regarding the application of sanctions are considered by state sanitary doctors and their deputies. Based on the results of the consideration of a case on violation of the norms of sanitary legislation, two documents can be issued - a decision on imposition of an administrative fine and a decision on application of a financial sanction. They are drawn up in triplicate, one of which must be handed over to the violator. or his representative against signature. Note that these resolutions can be sent to the enterprise by registered mail with notification.

The current legislation provides for a lot of different types of punishments that inspectors from the SES can apply. However, in this publication, we Let us dwell only on the main types of fines and sanctions.

So, for violation of sanitary and hygienic and sanitary and anti-epidemic norms and rules officials may be fined from 6 to 25 NMDG (UAH 102–425), and citizens - from 1 to 12 NMDG (UAH 17–204) (Article 42 of the Code of Administrative Offenses ). For creating obstacles SES officials in the performance of their duties citizens face a fine in the amount of 1 to 12 NMDG (UAH 17–204), officials - from 6 to 25 NMDG (UAH 102–425) (Article 188 Code of Administrative Offenses). Similar fines can be applied to business entities that, although they allowed officials of the state sanitary and epidemiological service to be checked, did not provide them with the necessary information or provided deliberately false information .

In addition, for the production and sale of products that do not meet the standards, officials of the enterprise may be fined from 3 to 88 NMDG (51–1360 UAH) (Article 167 of the Code of Administrative Offenses), and for violation of the rules for transporting or storing products - from 3 to 40 NMDG (51-680 UAH) (Article 170 of the Code of Administrative Offenses).

In addition to administrative fines that are imposed on officials of enterprises, the current sanitary legislation also provides for the imposition of financial sanctions (see Table) directly on an enterprise or entrepreneur (Article 46 Law No. 4004).

Table

Composition of the violation	Type of sanction
Development and use of documentation, does not meet the requirements of sanitary standards	A penalty of 25% of the cost of developing such documentation
Sale of prohibited products
Manufacture or sale of hazardous products	Penalty in the amount of 100% of the value of the products sold
Sale of imported products that do not comply with nationalonal safety standards	Penalty in the amount of 100% of the value of the products sold
Product control evasion from the sanitary and epidemiological service	Penalty of 25% of the value of products manufactured since the date of evasion

Measures of influence that can be applied to violators of sanitary legislation are defined by Art. 42 Law No. 4004 and Instructions on the procedure for the application of administrative and preventive measures by the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Service of Ukraine (restriction, temporary ban, ban, termination, suspension), approved by order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine dated 14.04.1995 No. 67. Among these measures, in particular, the following are noteworthy :

restriction of one of the activities (there must be an appropriate order and the terms of such a restriction must be established);
temporary ban on activities (until the identified violations are eliminated);
termination of activity (if violations cannot be eliminated);
temporary suspension of activities or certain types of work (if during their implementation it is impossible to avoid violations of sanitary standards);
prohibition of a certain type of activity (in the case of the use or production of products harmful to health).

Enforcement of the decision on the application of a preventive measure can be carried out by sealing or sealing energy sources, raw materials, premises, units, mechanisms, means of transportation, etc. After applying the seal (seal), an act of sealing (sealing) of the object is drawn up in the prescribed form.

If you don't agree...

According to Article 43 Law No. 4004 a decision (instruction, order, conclusion) issued by an official of the SES can be appealed either to a higher official or directly to the court. Recall that the Law on Inspections provides that if the norm of the law or other normative document allows an ambiguous interpretation of the rights and obligations of the person being checked or the inspector, the decision is made in the interests of the business entity. At the same time, it should be remembered that filing a complaint does not suspend the validity of the contested document.

SANITARY INSPECTION

There are centers for State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance (Gossanepidnadzor) in every region, as well as in major ministries (for example, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Justice, etc.). The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation coordinates the work of all centers. Or rather, the Department of Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance of the Ministry of Health.

Types of checks

The checks carried out by the centers are:
1. planned and unscheduled;
2. targeted and complex (joint);
3. repeated.

Scheduled and unscheduled inspections
Every year, in each center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision, the chief sanitary doctor approves an inspection plan. It can include any firm (entrepreneur) located in the territory subordinated to the center and registered in the Register of Accounts legal entities and individual entrepreneurs.
Every company is required to register with the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service. This must be done immediately after registration with the tax office. Moreover, it is useless to evade registration, you will still get into the journal. Public health officers learn about you, for example, from the tax inspectors or from the company from which you rent the premises.
In addition, for some activities you must obtain a special permit from epidemiologists - a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion. Such a document will be needed for those who decide to open a catering point (cafe, restaurant, etc.) or establish food production.
You also need to get permission if you are going to open a hairdresser, laundry, etc. A lot of people gather here, which means that the risk of catching some kind of infection is quite high.
If you want to start building a residential building, redevelopment of premises, etc., you need to submit projects for these works to sanitary doctors.
Epidemiologists, as a rule, warn about planned checks in advance. The sanitary doctor calls up the enterprise and says when the check will begin.
Sanitary control planned activities are not limited. Epidemiologists may come for an unscheduled visit. But this requires serious reasons. Their list is established in the Federal Law of August 8, 2001 N 134-FZ (clause 5, article 7).
For example, these are complaints from citizens. Please note that anonymous messages will not be considered.
The reasons for unscheduled inspections are even more serious: an emergency situation at some enterprise, the threat of mass poisoning or infection with infectious diseases, violation of the environmental situation.
This information is obtained by health professionals from medical institutions or other regulatory structures (for example, trade inspection). Your competitors may also complain.
In the south of Russia, more than 500 people suffered from dysentery. Epidemiologists found that all the sick people used dairy products from a local enterprise. This was the reason for an unscheduled audit of the company.
In such a situation, controllers have the right to check not only the culprit firm, but also similar firms (for example, firms using the same equipment or producing similar products).
The decision on an unscheduled inspection is made by the chief state sanitary doctor or his deputy. It must be justified.

Targeted and comprehensive (joint) inspections
The division of inspections into targeted and complex (joint) conditional. All of them, as a rule, belong to unscheduled events.
If sanitary doctors are interested in some specific questions (for example, information on a complaint), then it is assumed that they came with a targeted check.
Citizen Ivanov complained to the center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. In his statement, he indicated that he was sold expired goods in the Produkty store.
A scheduled inspection of the store was carried out several months ago. The firm eliminated the violations identified then. Despite this, sanitary doctors are obliged to check the information of the complainant. Epidemiologists conducted an unscheduled targeted check, during which the information on the complaint was confirmed.
The Center for Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision fined the head of the company for 4,000 rubles. (Part 2, Article 14.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) for the sale of goods in violation of sanitary standards.
Several controlling structures can participate in the audit at once (for example, the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision, the police, the tax inspectorate, fire inspection etc.). As a rule, such a check is called complex or joint.
If inspectors from different departments come to you, check if they are all listed in the inspection order. For those who are not listed, ask for a separate order.

Rechecks
As a rule, before penalizing a company for detected violations, epidemiologists issue an order to eliminate them. If the violations are serious, then sanitary doctors may demand that the company stop selling products or suspend its activities. Read more about this in the section "Sanitary Service" - subsection "How the results of the check are drawn up" - the situation "Prescriptions of sanitary doctors".
Due to the violation of sanitary standards, the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision closed the food base. Specialists repeatedly ordered the base management to remove garbage from the territory. Measures to clean up the territory were never taken, and those that appeared in in large numbers rodents began to pose a threat to the spread of infections. This was the reason for the suspension of the base.
To check how the company has fulfilled the order, controllers will come with a re-check. At the same time, they can check only those questions on which there were comments.

Who is checked by sanitary doctors
Despite the fact that any company or entrepreneur can check the sanitary service, it has its own priorities.
First of all, epidemiologists come to enterprises Food Industry. After all, any error in technology or violation sanitary regulations in such organizations can lead to serious consequences.
For the same reasons, sanitary doctors also pay attention to large enterprises whose products are consumed by many people, catering enterprises, utilities (especially those related to water supply). Special priority is given to institutions where children are brought up, educated and rested.
Often employees of sanitary and epidemiological supervision go to construction sites. As a rule, such checks are carried out on the basis of complaints from the population, who are haunted by dirt in the entrances, construction noise, etc. And the requirements for the working conditions of builders are often not met.
There is another place where sanitary doctors come - this is industrial enterprises. These firms are potential sources of environmental pollution. In addition, they must provide their employees with personal hygiene products (respirators, gloves, etc.). Unfortunately, not all organizations do this. They are checked by epidemiologists.

What do health officials check?
Sanitary doctors check how a firm or entrepreneur:
1. comply with sanitary rules;
2. perform sanitary and anti-epidemic (also called "preventive") measures.
How the company complies with sanitary rules
Each company or entrepreneur is required to comply with sanitary rules. This is stated in the Federal Law of March 30, 1999 N 52-FZ "On the sanitary and epidemiological well-being of the population."
Sanitary rules are approved by the Ministry of Health or the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation. They are valid throughout Russia for no more than ten years (the specific period is indicated in the rules themselves). The Ministry of Health may extend this period for another five years (Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 24, 2000 N 554).

What documents will epidemiologists require
First, the sanitary doctors will look founding documents firms (charter, memorandum of association) and licenses. They say what the company can do and what it can't.
The firm must have official texts of federal sanitary rules, GOSTs for its type of activity.
For example, public catering enterprises should have sanitary rules 2.3.6.1079-01 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for the organization of public catering, the manufacture and turnover of food products and food raw materials in them" and SanPiN 2.3.2.1324-03 " Hygiene requirements to expiration dates and storage conditions of foodstuffs".
At trading companies, doctors will check the availability of SP 2.3.6.1066-01 "Sanitary and epidemiological requirements for trade organizations and the circulation of food raw materials and food products in them" and SanPiN 2.3.2.1324-03 "Hygienic requirements for shelf life and storage conditions of food products."
Then epidemiologists will ask for a sanitary-epidemiological conclusion. The company must receive this document from the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision before the start of production of products or the provision of services.
The list of products that are subject to sanitary and epidemiological examination, and the procedure for its implementation, is determined by the order of the Ministry of Health of August 15, 2001 N 325.
Without a sanitary-epidemiological conclusion, the company will not receive a certificate of conformity for manufactured goods or will not be able to register a declaration of conformity.

And for the sale of goods without these documents, sanitary doctors can fine:
- a company - in the amount of 40,000 to 50,000 rubles;
- officials of a firm or entrepreneur - in the amount of 4,000 to 5,000 rubles (part 2, article 14.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
The certificate and declaration confirm that the products meet the standards. Read more about this in the section "Standardization and Certification Service" - subsection "What inspectors check" - the situation "How does the company comply with the requirements of the standards".
Doctors during the check will get acquainted with the assortment list of goods (for trading companies) and technological instructions for the production of goods (for manufacturing companies). These documents are compiled by the firms themselves, and then coordinated at the center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.
If your building is new (newly built), you must show the act (protocol) of approval to the sanitary doctors technical documentation, as well as a sanitary and epidemiological conclusion on the construction project. You must have the same documents if the building was renovated, reconstructed, re-planned, modernized.
if you have production equipment, then you need to coordinate with the sanitary doctors its arrangement. Doctors will check if they are positioned correctly interior spaces firms (workshops, warehouses, etc.) and equipment is placed.
Checking the cafe "Elena", sanitary doctors found that the location of the premises does not correspond to the plan agreed with the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. Shop finished products the company placed near the service exit. This means that cafe employees unload raw products next to the room where the finished ones are stored. This violates health regulations.
Epidemiologists fined the head of the firm for 2,000 rubles. (Article 6.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation) and suspended the activities of the company until the violations are eliminated, since this violation poses a threat of the emergence of infectious and mass non-infectious diseases.
Sanitary doctors will demand contracts for garbage collection, disinsection (insect control) and deratization (rodent control), check whether a sanitary log is kept. It must be laced, numbered and sealed with the company's seal.

How is personal hygiene checked?
Sanitary doctors will definitely check how employees who work with food products observe personal hygiene.
For sellers of food products, such rules are established in SanPiN 2.3.5.021-94 dated December 30, 1994 N 14, for catering workers in children's institutions - in SanPiN 2.4.2.1178-02 dated November 28, 2002 N 44, and for employees of enterprises public catering - in SP 2.3.6.1079-01 dated November 6, 2001 N 31. Here are some of them.
If an employee has symptoms of various diseases (for example, a fever), he is obliged to inform the administration about this and consult a doctor. The administration of the company should remove such an employee from work.
Each company should have a first aid kit with a set of medicines to provide first aid.
Every day before the start of the shift, the health worker is obliged to check whether the employees have pustular diseases, burns, abrasions. The results of the inspections are recorded in a special journal, which must be laced, numbered and sealed with the company's seal.
Employees of food trade enterprises are prohibited from eating and smoking in trading, warehouse and utility rooms, using sanitary clothing for other purposes, stabbing it with pins, needles, storing personal toilet items, cigarettes, etc. in the pockets of dressing gowns, jackets.
Employees whose work is related to food preparation should not eat or smoke at their workplace, wear Jewelry, varnish your nails, etc.
The employees themselves are responsible for observing the rules of personal hygiene. Sanctions are set in different articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses RF depending on where the intruder works.

If he works in a catering enterprise (cafe, restaurant, etc.), then the fine is provided for in Article 6.6 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation:

for entrepreneurs and company officials - from 2000 to 3000 rubles;
for other employees - from 1000 to 1500 rubles.

If the offender trades food products, then he will be fined under part 2 of article 14.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation.
Fine:

for company officials and entrepreneurs - from 4,000 to 5,000 rubles with or without confiscation of goods;
for sellers - from 2000 to 2500 rubles.

How are working conditions checked?
When coming to the firm, epidemiologists can check whether working conditions meet the requirements of safety and hygiene.
Sanitary doctors control this issue more carefully at enterprises that work with harmful and dangerous substances. These are organizations chemical industry, mechanical engineering, metallurgy, etc.
During the inspection, specialists find out how local mechanical ventilation works, whether the company conducts certification of workplaces for the content of harmful and hazardous substances in the air, noise levels, vibration, temperature, etc. The list of questions to be checked depends on the type of production.
Doctors will check whether funds are issued to employees personal protection whether they are familiar with the safety rules and the rules for working with harmful substances.
The administration of the company is obliged to provide employees with the necessary sanitary clothing, organize its washing and repair (it is strictly forbidden to wash sanitary clothing at home). In addition, the staff must have a sufficient amount of detergents and disinfectants and the necessary equipment for work.

How does the company implement preventive measures?
The law includes production control, mandatory medical examinations, hygienic education and training of employees as preventive measures (Chapter IV of the Federal Law of March 30, 1999 N 52-FZ).

Production control
Sanitary doctors can check whether the company has established production control, that is, control over compliance with sanitary rules.
How to organize it is described in the sanitary rules SP 1.1.1058-01 dated July 13, 2001 N 18.
First of all, the administration of the company must draw up and coordinate with the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision a program of production control.
The program is compiled in any form. For trading companies, catering establishments, pharmacies and hairdressers, this document was approved by the Chief State Sanitary Doctor of the Russian Federation (Decree of July 30, 2002 N 26).
Any employee of the company who has undergone special training, or a specialized organization, can be responsible for production control. The responsible person must monitor not only production, but also the quality of raw materials (for example, check the certificates and declarations of suppliers), the technology of storage, transportation, etc.
To make sure the quality of your products, you need to periodically refer products for examination to a special laboratory. Such laboratories must be accredited by the Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision.
If production control is not established at the company, sanitary doctors themselves will take product samples for examination.
In addition, they may fine:

firm - in the amount of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles;
officials of the company - in the amount of 500 to 1000 rubles (Article 6.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation). with foodstuffs, drinking water, upbringing

Medical examinations and hygiene preparation
Employees whose activities are related to:
1. with food, drinking water, raising and educating children (employees of catering units in children's institutions), public utilities and household services (hairdressers, bath attendants, masseurs, cosmetologists, etc.) (the list is given in a letter from the Ministry of Health dated August 7, 2000 Mr. N 1102/2196-0-117);
2. with harmful, hazardous substances and production factors (top climbers, crane operators, installers, lifters, etc.) (the list is given in the order of the Ministry of Health of March 14, 1996 N 90),
must undergo mandatory medical examinations.
The results of examinations, as well as information about the transferred infectious diseases and about the passage of hygienic training and certification are entered in a personal medical book. Sanitary doctors will definitely check the availability of this document.
Please note: without information about medical examinations, the medical book is invalid.
Medical books for employees are kept by the administration of the company. This document is issued only to sellers of a small retail network.
Employees included in the first group, in addition to medical examinations, must undergo periodic (upon admission to work and then once every two years) hygiene training and certification.
The administration of the company is obliged to organize medical examinations and hygiene training.
The penalty for violation of this requirement is:

for a company - in the amount of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles;
for company officials - in the amount of 500 to 1000 rubles (Article 6.3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).

Among the many various kinds inspections to which any company is subjected by the state, a separate inspection is carried out by the local center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Surveillance. This regulatory body is well known to those organizations whose activities are directly related to food. However, absolutely any organization, regardless of the type of its activity, can become an object of inspection by the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. For all established firms, registration with the sanitary and epidemiological service is also mandatory, as is registration with the tax office. And if the company's activities are related to the production or sale of food products, the provision of various types of household services to the population, and in many other cases, a special permit from the sanitary and epidemiological service (sanitary and epidemiological conclusion) is required. The Sanitary Service also coordinates projects for the construction, redevelopment residential buildings and premises, for some other types of work.

As in the case of other regulatory bodies, the centers of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision can conduct scheduled and unscheduled inspections of enterprises. The inspection plan is drawn up for a year and approved by the chief sanitary doctor of the center. As a rule, the enterprise is informed in advance about the start of a scheduled inspection. Any firm or individual entrepreneur from those registered at the center of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision. However, of course, not all enterprises are equally interested in sanitary doctors in terms of a favorable sanitary and epidemiological situation. It is clear that a number of organizations and enterprises fall under the closer attention of doctors due to their activities. Food industry enterprises will be in the forefront here. This is understandable: any deviation from technology, violation of sanitary norms and rules at such enterprises is fraught with large-scale negative consequences, because their products are used by many people, often exported to other regions and countries.

Also, employees of the sanitary and epidemiological service are attentive to other large enterprises whose products are used large quantity of people. These can be light industry enterprises, utilities (water supply), organizations providing personal services (, saunas, various beauty salons), and simply large ones with a large number of employees. Special attention also given to institutions, clinics. This does not mean at all that only the listed types of organizations will be subject to scheduled inspection, but their inspection will most likely be carried out more thoroughly.

The absence of your enterprise in terms of inspections does not guarantee that representatives of the State Sanitary and Epidemiological Supervision will not come to you with an unscheduled inspection this year. Of course, there must be a good reason for it. This may be, for example, a non-anonymous complaint received from citizens, cases of mass poisoning or infection, as well as their threat, accidents in other organizations and other reasons. Unscheduled inspections may be more thorough than scheduled inspections, especially if the reason for them is of a serious nature ( the federal law dated August 8, 2001 N 134-FZ (clause 5 of article 7). In addition, being unexpected for the enterprise, they often reveal those violations that, if the company is informed about the upcoming scheduled inspection, can be promptly eliminated or hidden.

To certain types unscheduled inspections include targeted and comprehensive inspections. As a rule, the target is understood as checking a fairly narrow range of issues, for example, studying the circumstances of a citizen's complaint. Complex checks include checks carried out jointly with other regulatory bodies - the environmental inspectorate, the fire inspectorate, the police, etc.

If the inspection revealed existing violations, then the sanitary inspection issues an order to eliminate them, indicating the violated norms and specific deadlines. In some cases, at the request of the sanitary inspection, the activities of the organization may be suspended. After the expiration of the prescribed deadlines for the elimination of the identified violations, a repeated check is carried out, concerning only the points indicated in the prescription.

And now let's talk a little about what exactly the sanitary doctors check.

Like any other check, checking the sanitary and epidemiological state of the company begins with the study of documents. At the same time, the following types of documents can be checked by inspectors:

Constituent documents;

Availability and validity of licenses (if necessary, licensing of the company's activities);

Availability of sanitary rules and GOSTs for the profile of the company;

Sanitary and epidemiological conclusion (if necessary);

Certificate (declaration) of conformity for manufactured goods;

Assortment list of goods;

Technological instructions for the production of goods;

Conclusions of the Sanitary and Epidemiological Service on construction and reconstruction projects, layout of premises and placement of equipment;

Sanitary journal;

Agreements for garbage collection, disinfestation, deratization;
