Features of the legal status of transport workers

In the modern period when life and health depend on transport workers as well as the successful functioning of enterprises, there is a need to ensure detailed regulation of these relations. Since vehicles are classified by civil legislation as sources of increased danger, the state sets increased requirements for transport workers, and along with Russian legislation, international legal acts apply to this category of workers. Employees who are directly engaged in transport management as well as those who ensure the movement of transport are sometimes at considerable distances from their organization for long periods of time. In addition, labour on transport is often associated with the impact on workers of such negative production factors as noise, overheating of premises, vibration, change of climatic and time zones, etc., which leads to increased nervous and emotional stress. Therefore, taking into account all of the above, the work of this category of employees is subject to special legal regulation.
