Правовые вопросы вахтового метода организации работ (на материалах предприятий нефтегазового комплекса Западной Сибири) (Legal Issues Related to the Rotational Method of Work (On the Materials of Enterprises Working in the Oil and Gas Industry in Western Siberia)

English Abstract: The abstract presents the most important results from a major scholarly study of the rotational method of work organization. In modern conditions, it has become widespread (ever increasing) not only in remote and underdeveloped territories (the Far North, etc.), as it was in the 1980s, but also in the so-called “Big Earth”, including densely populated and inhabited areas, on the continental shelf and other sea spaces, even in space, by replacing the crews of orbital stations,This form of activity is very flexible. It allows the use of standard labour law institutions (contract, working time and rest time, wages, guarantees and compensations, labour protection, etc.) in various variations, while maintaining their conceptual orientation, as defined by law. In other words, we are talking about a kind of “melting down” of the whole complex of the usual labour law regulations into a more gentle - “symbiotic” formation, which is required for constant deviations from the frankly direct direction.The author's approach is based not only on the analysis of legal provisions, geographical, medical and sociological literature. He also relies on a long and extensive (10 years) experience in the production association Urengoyneftegasgeologia, which has widely applied both the usual shift method and its expeditionary option. A number of dissertation proposals found implementation in law and practice. Others stand in line for perception in thoughts and the corresponding embodiment in specific regulatory acts
