Victimhood of a person injured in work-related accidents: terms of responsibility, non-judicial protection of labour rights

The article deals with insufficiently explored in the labour law problems of victimhood of an injured person and their influence on employer's responsibility. The authors suggest to differentiate degrees of responsibility of employer' officials in case of work-related accidents, to introduce compulsory legal training for members of the committee on investigation of workplace accidents, and to specify in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation the committee members' duty to identify non-judicially a person who actually caused the accident (including the injured person as a result of their victimized actions) and who may possibly be judicially a subject to criminal sanctions for causing the workplace accident.
