Committee for Industrial, Radiation and Nuclear Safety under the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Uzbekistan

The proposed legislation is designed to enforce rigorous compliance with industrial safety mandates, avert incidents and workplace accidents across hazardous production facilities, and reinforce the statutory accountability of responsible corporate officers.

Specifically, the bill introduces targeted provisions into the Criminal Code establishing criminal liability for industrial safety violations that result in harm to human health or loss of life.

Furthermore, amendments to the Code of Administrative Liability establish and heighten punitive sanctions against officials for failing to adhere to industrial safety regulations, neglecting to organize and facilitate state technical surveillance at hazardous production facilities, and failing to execute mandatory incident-prevention and emergency-containment readiness procedures.

The draft bill also refines and defines the core statutory functions and enforcement powers of the competent regulatory authorities, reflecting ongoing institutional reforms across the sector.

The formal enactment of this legislation will advance the national legal framework governing industrial safety, reinforce rigorous compliance across hazardous production sites, and guarantee the protection of public life and health.

The Committee for Industrial, Radiation, and Nuclear Safety regards these ongoing reforms as pivotal to guaranteeing process safety, preventing technological disasters, and maintaining robust regulatory oversight across hazardous production operations.
