Features of the identification of criminal encroachments on occupational safety and its importance for subsequent investigation

Background. The quality of the investigation of criminal attacks on occupational safety is largely determined by the quality of actions to identify them. During the detection, not only the event of the crime is established, but also data that can subsequently guide the investigator in choosing the most relevant algorithm for conducting procedural actions. The more reliable data obtained during the identification, the more reliable evidence will be obtained during the investigation. The peculiarity of the detection of criminal encroachments on labor safety is that it is often carried out with the involvement of government agencies and, in some cases, trade unions that exercise control and supervision in the relevant field. Thus, special knowledge in the field of occupational safety is being attracted to activities aimed at identifying these crimes. In this regard, the purpose of the research, which is the basis of the article presented to attention, is to study the features of detecting criminal encroachments on labor safety. Materials and methods. In the course of the research, a dialectical method was used, which made it possible to understand identification and investigation as alternating systems of actions. Logical methods were also used, which made it possible to draw conclusions, avoiding internal contradictions. Special methods of forensic research were used: system-activity and forensic modeling. Results. The conducted research has shown that the effectiveness of the investigation of criminal attacks on occupational safety depends on how well the detection of this crime was carried out. Conclusions. Already in the course of identifying criminal encroachments on occupational safety, it is necessary to pay attention to data that can later, during the investigation, indicate sources of reliable evidence. At the same time, it is important to interact with bodies and organizations whose powers include control and supervision of ensuring working safety conditions.
