2. Requirements of industrial safety shall meet standards in the field of protection of the population and the territories against emergency situations, sanitary and epidemiologic wellbeing of the population, environmental protection, ecological safety, fire safety, labor protection, construction, and also to the mandatory requirements established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation about technical regulation.
3. Requirements of industrial safety for subjects to use of atomic energy are established by the federal regulations and rules of use of atomic energy accepted according to the Federal Law of November 21, 1995 No. 170-FZ "About use of atomic energy".
4. If during the designing, construction, operation, reconstruction, capital repairs, preservation or liquidation of hazardous production facility departure from the requirements of industrial safety established by federal regulations and rules of industrial safety, such requirements is required there is not enough and (or) they are not established, by person performing preparation of the project documentation on construction, reconstruction of hazardous production facility requirements of industrial safety to its operation, capital repairs, preservation and liquidation in reasons for safety of hazardous production facility can be established.
Reasons for safety of hazardous production facility go the organization operating hazardous production facility to federal executive body in the field of industrial safety in case of registration of hazardous production facility in the state register. The changes made to reasons for safety of hazardous production facility go the organization operating hazardous production facility to federal executive body in the field of industrial safety within ten working days from the date of receipt of positive experimental testimony of industrial safety.
5. For the purpose of assistance to observance of requirements of industrial safety the federal executive body in the field of industrial safety has the right to approve the containing explanations of requirements of industrial safety and the recommendation about their application of management about safety.
