Yesterday, 6 October 2022, the Verkhovna Rada adopted draft law No. 3361, which provides for the exemption of enterprises with an average and/or insignificant degree of risk from the obligation to undergo scheduled technological and fire safety inspections if the enterprise obtained a liability insurance policy.
The liability insurance mechanism includes the following steps:
1. Undergoing a technological and fire safety audit.
The technological and fire safety audit is carried out by organizations that meet the established criteria, as well as experts in the field of technological and fire safety who have passed professional certification.
The audit period cannot exceed 10 working days.
Based on the results of the technological and fire safety audit, an act is drawn up that is valid for 3 months.
2. Conclusion of a liability insurance agreement considering the results of technological and fire safety audit.
The liability insurance agreement shall provide for insurance against the following risks: fire, explosion (including domestic gas explosion); industrial accident; water leakage from the fire extinguishing system; destruction of buildings, construcions and structures; electric shock.
The insurance sum shall be not less that than 3 thousand minimum wages – for business entities with an average degree of risk and 2 thousand minimum wages – for business entities with an insignificant degree of risk.
3. Notification of the State Emergency Service on concluding an insurance agreement by 15 October.
In 2022, the State Emergency Service can be notified of the conclusion of such an agreement by 15 November.
Information on conclusion and termination of the liability insurance agreement is entered in the Register of liability insurance agreements, which is published on the official website of the State Emergency Service.
If a business entity has a liability insurance agreement concluded, a scheduled inspection of such an entity is not carried out during the term of such agreement, but no more than: 6 years in a row – for business entities with an average degree of risk; 10 years in a row – for business entities with an insignificant degree of risk.
Adoption of the bill is an important step to simplify rules for doing business in Ukraine.
