component of labor safety, as it partially provides separate areas of labor safety.
Labor safety is considered as well-regulated the norms of right requirement of
workers in the proper working conditions, that: answer decent labor; determined by
separate directions of protection depending on the category of workers; supported by

of activity the professional type of activity, that has an important practical value for the

will be a stimulating element of motivational mechanism of achievement of quality
implementation of duties, that will allow to promote of prestige of labor of civil servants
among other categories of workers. It is substantiated, that by basic directions of providing of labor safety of civil
servants following: 1) the personal safety of labor; 2) social safety of labor;
3) informative safety of labor; 4) technical safety of labor; 5) financially-material safety
of labor.

servants is conducted with the aim of possibility: application of motivational and
stimulant methods of achievement of high yield of labor; organizations of working
conditions are in accordance with the calls of contemporaneity; providing of quality co-
operation of workers is with public; increases of standard of living of
workers; providing of the effective functioning of public organs.

and financially-material space of civil servants are considered and reasonably, that they
are caused by internal and external factors.
