The professional standard for the profession Boiler room operator (stoker) is.

To establish for workers engaged in heavy work, work with
harmful and (or) dangerous working conditions, certain guarantees and
compensation, documentary evidence of workers' compensation is required
places where these workers are employed, relevant indicators
harmful factors of the working environment, severity and tension
labor process. The most appropriate way of such confirmation is
carrying out certification of workplaces according to working conditions in the organization, especially
Moreover, this is the direct responsibility of the employer, enshrined in
Art. 212 Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
To determine whether an employee is eligible for benefits,
The enterprise must conduct certification of workplaces. Perhaps in your
the organization has undergone such certification and harmful and dangerous factors
correspond to acceptable values ​​according to the expert opinion.

According to the LIST OF PRODUCTIONS, SHOPS, PROFESSIONS AND POSITIONS WITH
HARMFUL WORKING CONDITIONS, WORK IN WHICH GIVES THE RIGHT TO ADDITIONAL
VACATION AND SHORTEN WORKING DAYS, approved. Resolution of the State Committee for Labor of the USSR,
Presidium of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated October 25, 1974 N 298/P-22, the right to additional
vacation, as well as other rights (additional payments) for harmful conditions labor have
workers in the following specialties:

XLIII. COMMON PROFESSIONS OF ALL SECTORS OF THE NATIONAL ECONOMY
92. Boiler room operator (fireman) engaged in servicing steam and
hot water boilers operating on solid mineral and peat
fuel:
a) when loading manually 12
b) with mechanized loading 6

As you can see, the name of the profession must strictly
correspond to the name of the specialty according to the Unified
Tariff and Qualification Directory of Works and Professions of Workers (ETKS)

Under what conditions are boiler plant operators employed
maintenance of hot water and steam boilers, enjoy the right to
early assignment of old-age labor pension?
O. Nikolaeva, Krasnoyarsk region

Considering the issue of early pension provision for these
workers, first of all it is necessary to correctly establish the name
their professions. In the Unified Tariff and Qualification Directory of Works and
workers' professions (ETKS), approved. by the resolution of the State Labor Committee of the USSR,
Secretariat of the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions dated January 31, 1985 No. 31 / 3-30 “On approval of the “General
provisions of the Unified Tariff and Qualification Directory of Works and
workers' professions National economy USSR", section "Professions of workers,
common to all sectors of the national economy" of the Unified
tariff and qualification directory of works and professions of workers, issue
1" provides for the profession of "boiler room operator (stoker).

By current legislation right to early appointment
old-age labor pension in accordance with section. XXXIII "General
professions" List No. 2 are used by drivers (stokers) of a boiler house (coal
and slate). The criterion for assessing the employment of a driver (fireman) of a boiler house at
jobs that give the right to early assignment of a labor pension
old age is confirmation of the fact that the boiler room as a whole or
the equipment he services runs on coal or oil shale. On practice
establishing this factor does not pose any special difficulties.

At the same time, when determining the rights of drivers (stokers)
boiler room for early pension provision in accordance with List No.
2 other circumstances are also taken into account.

1. Boiler room operator (stoker) - this is the full name
profession (ETKS, issue 1), so the opinion is completely erroneous
that the right to a pension according to List No. 2 gives a worker of this profession
work in the boiler room. In accordance with the ETKS, the driver (stoker)
boiler room services hot water and steam boilers both in the boiler room and
separately located (including on steam railway cranes), and
also heating network boiler installations or compressed steam stations,
located in the service area of ​​the main units. All these works
give the driver (fireman) of the boiler room the right to early retirement
security.

2. A prerequisite for early assignment of labor
old age pension according to List No. 2 for a boiler room driver (fireman) is
maintenance of boilers operating on solid fuels (coal and oil shale). This
the circumstance must be confirmed in each specific case
documents.

Workers engaged in servicing hot water and steam boilers (incl.
h. in boiler houses) operating on liquid and gaseous fuels or with
assistance of electric heating, the name of the profession “operator” is established
boiler room”, which is not provided for in Lists No. 1 and 2.

3. To determine the right to early pension provision
boiler room operator (stoker) does not care about heating capacity
hot water and steam boilers (which can be less than 3 Gcal/h,
and above 130 Gcal/h), as well as for what purposes is steam generated and
water (for technological or domestic needs).

4. The work of the boiler room (boilers), as a rule, is seasonal
character. That time when the boiler room (boiler) is not working, and the drivers
(stokers) are engaged in the boiler room repair work, does not count towards
experience in relevant types of work.

5. Drivers (firemen) of boiler houses, who, along with maintenance
hot water and steam boilers carry out work to remove ash or
only engaged in the removal of ash from furnaces and boiler bunkers, also
enjoy the right to an early retirement retirement pension in
in accordance with List No. 2.

6. The word “stoker” in the name of the profession “machinist (stoker)”
boiler room" clarifies that this profession includes a fireman,
so if according to work book the worker is listed as a boiler room operator
or a boiler room fireman, then in both the first and second cases he will be
have the right to early retirement benefits.

7. The driver (fireman) of the boiler room acquires the right to early
assignment of an old-age labor pension in accordance with List No. 2
(Section XXXIII) regardless of which rooms are heated
the boiler room it serves (this could be an industrial building,
