Abstract

The ecology of the globe depends on many factors, including the infrastructure of industrial and municipal facilities, the competent organization of environmental safety at agro-industrial enterprises, and the human factor in the performance of labor duties at such facilities. To prevent pollution of agro-ecosystems and reduce technogenic impacts on the environment, it is essential to establish working conditions that comply with labor legislation. This primarily concerns working time and rest time. Only with adequate rest after the working day can employees perform their duties attentively and avoid mistakes at industrial facilities, which could otherwise have adverse effects on the environment. A rational allocation and utilization of working time help reduce production risks that negatively impact the environment. The authors emphasize the relationship and interdependence between such social phenomena as working time and rest time for agro-industrial complex workers, their health, quality of life, and environmental safety at both national and regional levels.
