The article discusses the issues of occupational safety management at the level of territorial communities, taking into account modern challenges and requirements for ensuring the health and life of employees. Integration of the regulatory framework with international standards plays an important role in studying the specifics of implementing a systematic approach to occupational safety management in local communities, which ensures an appropriate level of occupational safety and minimization of occupational injuries. Particular attention is paid to the adaptation of legislation to the specifics of local conditions and the need for continuous improvement of regulatory and legal support. The main condition for effective management is close cooperation between local authorities, employers and the public to create a comprehensive system for monitoring workplace safety. It should be emphasized that territorial communities should develop local programs to improve occupational safety and introduce additional measures to reduce occupational injuries. The article also analyzes the role of local governments, which, according to the law, are responsible for ensuring safe working conditions, monitoring compliance with regulations and initiating inspections at enterprises. Legislative acts, such as the Law of Ukraine “On Occupational Safety and Health,” the Labor Code, and the Law of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine,” are the main instruments for ensuring occupational safety at the local level. They define the rights and obligations of employers and employees, and establish mechanisms for monitoring compliance with labor protection standards.

Integration of these measures into the strategies of socio-economic development of territorial communities allows not only to reduce production risks but also to increase the competitiveness of regions. The article also emphasizes the importance of developing interagency cooperation, which contributes to the effective management of working conditions and ensuring an adequate level of safety.
