As you know, for a long time at all levels it was discussed about the introduction of a mandatory medical examination for drivers of vehicles immediately before going on a flight.

This situation is associated with a large number of road accidents, which were caused by the poor health of the driver. It is for this reason that pre- and post-trip compulsory medical examinations have been introduced, which are designed to ensure a change in the situation.

Doctors will conduct an examination of drivers for diseases that may interfere with their work. In particular, in case of suspicion of alcohol intoxication, the doctor may oblige the driver of the vehicle to pass a urine test. These requirements, set out in the order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, come into force on May 1, 2015.

I must say that from now on, not only hired drivers will be subject to medical examination, but also individual entrepreneurs who independently manage their vehicles. In this case, the costs of medical examinations will be borne directly by the employer.

The examination of drivers will be carried out immediately before the start of the working day, when the doctor, during the examination, will try to determine his physical condition, as well as the presence of acute diseases that may affect productivity and labor safety.

In addition, doctors will analyze the driver's condition not only in terms of his physical well-being, but also to identify traces of drug, toxicological or drug intoxication.

Drivers will be subject to similar checks after the end of the flight. This is especially true for drivers of vehicles involved in the transport of passengers or dangerous goods.

The only allowance when a driver can go to work without going through a medical examination is the work of emergency services, when in the event of an urgent call, there simply may not be time for a medical examination.

The procedure for passing a medical examination is quite simple. Before leaving, a medical worker conducts a visual examination of the driver, the condition of his skin and mucous membranes, and measures blood pressure and pulse.

After that, using the indicator the doctor. If suspicion remains after the check, the examining paramedic can force the driver to take a urine test to check for the presence of psychoactive substances.

In this case, a stamp on the passage of a medical examination will be put in the waybill, which, together with the signature of a doctor, will confirm that the driver is ready to work.

An ambiguous solution. It would seem that everything is correct - there should be control over the drivers, on whose condition the life and health of other people depends. But at the same time, it would be good not to go too far.

While it is quite reasonable for a large transport company to have an office and specialists for carrying out pre-trip inspections of drivers, then for small firms and individual entrepreneurs it is unprofitable.

Suppose the driver A., ​​as an individual entrepreneur without hired employees, provides transport services (cargo or passenger taxi), independently driving his vehicle. In this case, it makes no sense to organize a pre-trip inspection room and obtain an additional license for this. You will have to conclude an appropriate contract with a licensed medical institution for medical examinations, which entails additional costs.

Time will show how the procedure for passing pre-trip medical examinations will be implemented for individual entrepreneurs in practice.

If you plan to conclude a year, you can download it on our website.

All requirements for measures related to medical examinations are contained in the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation (Article 213 and some others), Federal laws, orders, orders, recommendations of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation, and responsibility for their implementation lies in the field of administrative and criminal legislation.

Legal and regulatory framework

1. Federal Law of December 10, 1995 No. 196-FZ
   "On road safety" (with amendments and additions)
2. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation (Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation)
   of December 30, 2001 No. 195-FZ
3. Letter of the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Transport of the Russian Federation of January 20, 2002 No.
   "Medical provision of road safety"
4. Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of July 14, 2003 No. 308
   "On medical examination for the state of intoxication" (with amendments and additions)
5. Letter of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation of August 21, 2003, No. 2510 / 9468-03-32
   "On pre-trip medical examinations of vehicle drivers"
6. Order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated December 15, 2014 No. 835n "On approval of the Procedure for conducting pre-shift, pre-trip and post-shift, post-trip medical examinations"

Obligation to conduct pre-trip and post-trip medical examinations drivers are enshrined in the Federal Law "On Road Safety" (No. 196-ФЗ dated 10.12.1995). According to it, all individual entrepreneurs and legal entities carrying out activities related to the operation of transport are required to conduct pre-trip, post-trip, as well as current medical examinations. The law requires the involvement of appropriately certified and certified health care workers in this activity.

It is important that the legislation classifies the conduct of such medical examinations as activities in the field of labor protection. Accordingly, all violations in terms of pre-trip medical examinations of drivers, are interpreted precisely as violations of labor protection rules. And this already entails not only administrative, but also criminal liability. Medical organizations, their management, medical personnel, heads of motor transport companies, as well as everyone associated with the organization and conduct of medical events can be found guilty of violations of labor legislation.

So, if the driver, due to health problems, became the culprit of an accident in which people were seriously injured, the competent authorities will first of all check whether pre-trip inspection... And if it turns out that gross mistakes were made during the medical examination, or it was not carried out at all, then a criminal case under Article 143 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation will be immediately initiated. All persons responsible for organizing and conducting pre-trip medical examinations of drivers at the enterprise will be held accountable. The perpetrators can be sentenced to a large fine (up to 200,000 rubles or 18 times the convicted person's salary). In addition, they can be sent to correctional labor for up to two years, or even imprisoned for up to a year. If, God forbid, a person dies as a result of an accident, the perpetrators will be imprisoned for up to three years. Moreover, the law does not provide for another, milder punishment (for example, in the form of a fine) for this crime.

It is important to remember that if criminal liability for an improper or not carried out medical examination threatens only after the onset of grave consequences, then, under the administrative article, sanctions can be imposed at any time if the regulatory authorities reveal any violations. In this case, it does not matter at all whether any consequences have come or not. The mere fact of the improper organization of the medical examination of drivers for the controlling organizations will be sufficient grounds for making a decision.

Generally, organization of pre-trip medical examinations- the task is very difficult and time consuming, involving great responsibility. And the most reasonable decision for the head of a trucking company is to entrust the conduct of such events to an independent licensed medical organization, thereby shifting part of the responsibility and risks to it.

New procedure for pre-trip medical examinations approved
On May 1, 2015, the order of the Ministry of Health of Russia dated December 15, 2014 No. 835n came into force, which approved the procedure for conducting pre-shift, pre-trip and post-shift, post-trip medical examinations.
In particular, it was found that according to the results of the pre-trip medical examination, the stamp “ Passed a pre-trip medical examination, was admitted to work". The signature of the medical worker is immediately put.
As before, examinations are carried out at the expense of the employer. Fines are established for failure to conduct inspections or violation of the procedure for conducting them.
Under article 11.32 of the Administrative Code, fines are:

1. For citizens - from 1000 to 1500 rubles.
2. For officials of the organization (for example, the head) - from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles.
3. For an organization (entrepreneur) - from 30,000 to 50,000 rubles.

Our pre-trip inspection services are an opportunity to avoid fines and offenses, as well as monitor the health of drivers.

Konstantin Tomashevsky
General manager
LLC "Start Rosta"

With the question of conducting pre-trip medical examinations of drivers, I contacted three companies. The first turned out to be an incomprehensible office, which, as it turned out, even without a license to conduct pre-trip inspections. The second is a large medical company, the name of which has been on everyone's lips, preparing a response to my request for a commercial offer for a whole week, avoiding talking on the phone, it immediately became clear that they would work just as badly.
As a result, I was lucky with MEDINSES - these guys work in a disciplined, efficient and competent manner. In addition to this, the cost of services was not more expensive than that of other companies.

We are happy to help you!

At the level of the legislation of the Russian Federation and the order of the Ministry of Health, persons transporting passengers and goods must undergo a pre-trip medical examination of drivers without fail. Along with such a requirement, the regulatory enactments reflect data on who should be subject to such a mandatory procedure, who has the right to conduct a professional examination of drivers, as well as requirements on the procedure for its implementation.

Regulation of the order of implementation - legal framework

The need for a pre-shift medical examination of drivers is due to a decrease in dangerous and emergency situations that may arise due to poor health of motorists or the presence of signs of illness.

The provision on the need for the procedure is governed by the following laws and regulations:

• Labor Code of the Russian Federation;
• Federal Law No. 196 of 1995 as amended and amended;
• Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation No. 835-N of 2014.

It should be noted that one of the factors causing the need to analyze the driver's condition is the exclusion of driving vehicles in a state of alcoholic and drug intoxication, since it is they that often lead to emergencies on the roads.

According to the latest changes of the current year, the current procedure for conducting pre-trip medical examinations of drivers has undergone the following changes:

The procedure for conducting pre-trip inspections clearly limits the circle of persons who can carry out it. So, the right to conduct it is provided exclusively to employees with medical education, who have completed a special training course and have an appropriate diploma or certificate.

In order to obtain such a document, you will need to undergo training in special educational institutions of a medical direction, licensed to issue similar documents. Such institutions may include medical universities, specialized schools, and centers that provide advanced training for doctors.

You can arrange for a medical procedure for drivers in one of the following possible ways.:

Procedure for the procedure

In the process of examining a driver who is heading on a flight or taking up a shift, a medical professional must perform the following actions:

1. Visual inspection to identify poor health and signs of alcohol or drug intoxication;
2. Listening to driver complaints, if any;
3. Determination of the level of alcohol in the body with the help of technical means (even in the absence of visible signs of drinking);
4. Measurement of pulse, pressure;
5. If necessary, chemical analysis of urine and blood.

As a result of the inspection, in the absence of any factors that prevent the driver from leaving for a shift, a corresponding stamp is put on the waybill of the approved form. In addition, the healthcare professional reflects the exact date and time of the medical examination.

Video: A new procedure for passing the pre-trip inspection of drivers from the Ministry of Health

In order to determine the possibility and conditions for the inspection of drivers, certain requirements are imposed on the office in which it is carried out.

So, the equipment of the office should be as follows:

In the event that drivers are inspected by a third-party organization that is located remotely from the company's vehicle fleet, the employer can arrange for the delivery of employees to the inspection site using a dedicated vehicle.

Responsibility for violation of the established procedure

On the basis of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, in the presence of violations of the inspection procedure, it is envisaged to bring to administrative responsibility and impose a certain amount of a fine, which is paid in the following amount:

• For individual entrepreneurs and officials - from 15 to 20 thousand rubles;
• To the driver - from 1 to 3 thousand rubles;
• The medical worker who performed the pre-trip examination - from 2 to 3 thousand rubles;
• For legal entities-organizations - from 110 to 130 thousand rubles.

The driver's health condition affects the quality of driving, and hence the number of accidents. How can this be controlled? First of all, responsibility lies with the driver himself, as well as with the enterprises responsible for his admission to vehicles. How is carried out as well as their post-voyage survey, we will consider further in the article.

Why do you need a medical examination

At any enterprise in road transport or in construction organizations there is a driver's position. And it doesn't matter what kind of vehicle he drives, the main thing is in what condition.

A large number of construction equipment implies the presence of such specialties as a tractor driver, excavator driver, machinist and many others. All of these categories must be examined at the very beginning of the working day.

The Constitution obliges to protect the work of employees. This means that it is necessary to create all conditions that will ensure the safety of their work. For a driver, one of these conditions will be his health condition. Only a healthy, adequate person is able to correctly respond to the prevailing road conditions or industrial situations, and the accident rate on the roads and production directly depends on this.

Medical examination of drivers - it is primarily a determination of their readiness to safely drive a vehicle. When issuing rights to this, it is mandatory to monitor the mental state, as well as identify dependence on alcohol and drugs. Daily pre-trip inspection allows monitoring the driver's health and timely detecting deviations and violations that have arisen.

Types of driver's medical examination

For such a procedure as a medical examination of drivers, there are specially designed conditions. So, the legislation provides for several types of medical examination:

1. Pre-trip.
2. Current.
3. Post-trip.

Who is responsible

In enterprises, the responsibility for carrying out the above lies with the officials who are responsible for the operation and maintenance of vehicles. In addition, their responsibilities include:

1. Carry out the selection of drivers.
2. Monitor the timely improvement of their professional level.
3. Are obliged to monitor the state of health and the implementation of the work and rest regime.
4. Do not allow to drive vehicles.

In the latter case, there is a whole list of such persons:

• drivers who do not have the appropriate category of rights;
• did not pass the medical examination within the specified time frame;
• have taken medications that slow down the reaction rate and cause drowsiness;
• workers drunk or under the influence of drugs.

Officials can fulfill all these conditions only by conducting a pre-trip medical examination of the driver. It is carried out by a medical worker, who is subsequently responsible for issuing a permit to control transport. before the flight?

We organize inspection of drivers

In order to organize a pre-trip medical examination, the following conditions must be met. So, the enterprise should have a position of a medical worker who will inspect the drivers. For this, it is allowed to hire an employee under a contract, and it is also allowed to attract medical workers from the nearest medical institution.

The main thing is that the examination should be carried out by a specialist who has previously undergone special training.

The pre-trip inspection is carried out immediately before departure, after receiving the waybill. For this, a special room with sufficient lighting should be allocated for a thorough examination. The results are recorded in the pre-trip inspection log. This document is affixed with the seal of the company.

How to fill out the journal

The logging requirements are strict and avoid negligence. The following must be observed in the journal:

1. Pages are numbered.
2. The binding is laced.
3. The record is sealed with the seal of the company or medical institution, if the examination takes place in a hospital.

After the pre-trip inspection of the driver has been completed, the following data are recorded:

• Full Name;
• age;
• place of work;
• date and time when the inspection was carried out;
• inspection report;
• Taken measures;
• FULL NAME. medical worker.

If the doctor has no complaints about the driver, he puts a stamp in the waybill. It also indicates the date and time when it was passed, its full name. and signature.

How do we go through the pre-trip medical examination

Inspection of the driver before the flight, as a rule, means conducting a conversation with the driver about his state of health. In this case, one should pay attention to the behavior and mental state of the driver. Indicators are no less important:

• temperature;
• blood pressure;
• heart rate.

The doctor conducts a visual examination, not forgetting to pay attention to residual or obvious signs of the use of alcoholic beverages or drugs.

If the above mentioned signs are detected, it is necessary to conduct a laboratory examination and instrumental, as well as to exercise control of sobriety.

How is sobriety control done?

One of the most important indicators of a driver's examination is his sobriety, because a significant number of accidents occur due to violation of this rule. Therefore, carrying out pre-trip inspections necessarily involves monitoring the driver's sobriety.

The doctor pays attention, first of all, to the following factors:

• strong smell of alcohol;
• the driver's behavior is suspicious, there is a violation of the reaction;
• rapid pulse;
• speech disorder;
• the reaction of the pupils is abnormal.

The doctor analyzes the exhaled air. In case of suspicion of or the presence of drugs in the body, urine should be taken for analysis. This procedure is carried out using an express test. It is prohibited to take blood for analysis. A popular method of testing sobriety is walking in a straight line, making sharp turns, or lifting an object off the floor.

If there is a suspicion of the presence of alcohol or drugs in the driver's body, and he does not agree with this, it is necessary to send him for an examination.

If the driver is clearly intoxicated, if he refuses the examination, it is necessary to draw up an act of his drunkenness during working hours. in duplicate. One remains with the medical worker, and the other is handed over to the head of the enterprise. This fact, by the way, may be grounds for dismissal.

At-risk groups

At the time of the pre-trip examination, most attention is paid to persons who often have the following deviations from the norm:

• high temperature;
• frequent colds;
• the presence of chronic diseases;
• alcohol abuse;
• there was the use of drugs, which include;
• the use of drugs for regular therapy.

All these indicators are recorded in the journal. Drivers with such health problems or with alcohol are included in the "risk group", this also includes people over 55 years old.

Not allowed to work

The driver may not be allowed to drive if such deviations are detected:

• signs of exacerbation of chronic diseases;
• increased body temperature;
• loss of strength.
• headache or toothache;
• a strong or very weak heartbeat;
• high blood pressure;
• clear signs of alcohol intoxication or drug exposure;
• taking medications that slow down the reaction.

If you suspect the presence of alcohol or drugs in the blood, sobriety control is carried out, which we talked about earlier.

If signs of exacerbation of chronic diseases are found, then the driver is sent to the hospital to see a specialist. He confirms the driver's disability and writes him a sick leave. Otherwise, if the doctor does not see any signs of illness, he issues a certificate that the patient is healthy and can work.

The data of drivers who have chronic diseases are recorded in a separate log, in addition, cards are entered on them. The health worker annually draws up lists indicating the diagnosis of such people and recommendations for admission to work. If we usually undergo a medical examination once a year, then for this category this is shown every six months, depending on the state of health.

Post-trip inspection

Post-trip inspection primarily disciplines employees. Knowing about him, the driver will not drink alcohol, realizing that at any moment he can be checked. Indeed, as a result, you can lose your earnings or, violating the rules of the road in such a state, be left without a driving license. And we know that a large number of road accidents are caused by

Pre-trip and post-trip are carried out in the same way. Except that in the latter case, the driver is no longer issued a voucher. However, if there are signs of alcohol use, or it is suspected that the driver has taken drugs, he may be fired.

For those with chronic illnesses, post-travel monitoring is also necessary. To prevent an exacerbation of the disease and take the necessary measures in a timely manner.

It is worth noting that it is impossible to control the driver's sobriety without his consent. It is documented in writing. Also, such consent can be stipulated in advance in an employment contract or drawn up as a separate document. Most often, this important point is provided when applying for a job.

According to the law "On road safety", pre-trip check-ups of drivers are mandatory, and post-trip check-ups are required for everyone in the “risk group”. This is the only way to be sure that only sober and healthy drivers will drive on our roads.
