Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the Theory of Regulatory Compliance in the context of Russian industrial safety legislation. A comparative analysis of the key principles of this theory and the regulatory acts in force in Russia, Germany, Canada, and Sweden has been conducted. The main issues of the Russian regulatory system have been identified, including excessive detail, a formal approach, and inconsistency in requirements. International methods, such as risk-based regulation, flexibility in regulatory requirements, and the development of self- regulation mechanisms, are discussed. The authors propose measures to improve the legislative framework, including eliminating the duplication of norms, introducing predictive risk assessment methods, expanding the powers of self-regulated organizations, and increasing the transparency of legal procedures. The implementation of these changes will improve the effectiveness of state control, reduce administrative burdens, and bring the Russian industrial safety system closer to international standards.
