The effectiveness of scientific development and research (NDR) in the agricultural sector depends on many factors, among which those that determine the safety of the process itself play a special role. The work examines the requirements for ensuring safe and harmless working conditions during scientific research and development, indicating the main legislative and other normative legal acts in the relevant areas. Depending on the features of the NDR (fundamental, applied, experimental) and the stages of their implementation, the venue, conditions, duration of work, equipment and engineering networks, personnel, etc. are determined, which necessitates the use of certain methods, methods and means of ensuring labor safety based current regulatory legal acts on labor protection, sanitation and occupational hygiene, fire safety, man-made safety and civil protection. In this work, we examine the conditions for conducting the NDR and analyze the current regulatory documents and scientific works on ensuring the safety of research, with the aim of preventing the number of accidents in the agricultural sector. An important role in ensuring healthy and safe working conditions, preservation of life and health of employees in scientific institutions is played by the labor protection service. The main tasks of the labor protection service include: implementation of scientific developments and rational proposals that increase labor safety; organize all types of briefings and preventive measures aimed at eliminating harmful and dangerous production factors and other cases of threat to the life or health of employees; carry out inspections of employees' compliance with regulatory legal acts on labor protection; draw up, with the participation of the direct supervisor, lists of professions, positions and types of work, for which instructions on labor protection (safety) should be developed, provide assistance during their development; to inform employees about the basic requirements of laws, other regulatory and legal acts and acts on labor protection that are in effect within the scope of scientific research.

Article 43 of the Constitution of Ukraine guarantees proper, safe and healthy working conditions for every employee, according to Article 13 of the Law “On Labor Protection” the employer must ensure the functioning of the labor protection management system. Accordingly, the Concept approved by the Order of the Ministry of Labor dated 22.10. No. 432 of 2001, every enterprise, institution or organization (hereinafter – the enterprise) of any form of ownership, which uses the labor of employees in its activities, is obliged to comply with the necessary requirements established by the legislation of Ukraine, in order to guarantee the safety of work and the preservation of life, health and working capacity of employees in the process of work. In order to ensure healthy, safe and highly productive working conditions, improve working life, prevent injuries and occupational diseases, the company operates a health and safety management system, which is an integral part of the management system of the business entity. The occupational health and safety management system (OH&S) is a set of enterprise management bodies that, on the basis of a set of regulatory documentation, carry out purposeful, planned activities regarding the implementation of management tasks and functions in order to ensure healthy, safe and highly productive working conditions.To build an effective occupational safety management system, it is necessary to choose its optimal model. A scientific and applied problem is the choice of the most suitable system in the conditions of a particular enterprise. An analysis of the approaches available in international practice regarding the formation of health and safety management system models, taking into account quality management systems, environmental protection and social responsibility, was carried out. Recommendations aregiven for choosing a basic methodological approach that will contribute to the creation of an effective labor safety management system with the aim of ensuring safe and highly productive working conditions and creating a positive image of the enterprise.

The management system of labor protection (MSLP) is an effective tool, which allows the business entity to provide the proper level of labor protection on the enterprises, that corresponds to the requirements of safe and healthy conditions of work for employees. The approaches of construction and functioning of MSLP are improving based on international experience. In 2018 the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved “The concept of reforming the management system of labor protection in Ukraine”, which basing on a risk-oriented approach determines the principles, directions and tasks of building a system of labor safety and health in Ukraine and aims to create the national system of production risks prevention and to ensure safe and healthy working conditions for employees. This article deals with the use of the method of multicriteria choice of alternatives based on fuzzy advantage ratio in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the labor protection management system of enterprises, that allows more objectively identify threats to efficiency of MSLP of the specific business entity. There are some examples of usages of this method to solve issues related to ensuring the economic security of economic entities. Based on those scientific works authors tried to evaluate the effectiveness of functioning of MSLP. The solution of this problem was carried out on the example of a specific chemical enterprise. The department of Life Safety of the National Forestry University of Ukraine has carried out significant work to identify threats to efficiency of MSLP, related to the activities of the labor protection service, which in this article are considered as a set of acceptable alternatives and could be the threat for MSLP efficiency. Also, there were identified some criteria for selecting among the identified threats (acceptable alternatives): the threat occurs infrequently and irregularly; the appearance of threats from time to time; threat occurs frequently and regularly (recurrence of the threat) over a period of time. In the course of the work, the most significant threats were found. That is, the problem of rational choice of alternatives from a certain set X was solved, for which some fuzzy advantage ratio is given g1, g2, g3 with the function μgj : X × X → (0, 1). To solve the problem of multicriteria selection described above, was select an effective method of convolution of the vector criterion into a scalar. The results show that the most significant threats to efficiency of MSLP of the enterprise that was analyzed is an excess of the frequency of injuries at the enterprise over the frequency in the industry and a gross violation of occupational safety rules, accidents. The results obtained indicate that an accident has occurred or may occur at the assessed enterprise. The use of the method of multi-criteria selection of alternatives on the basis of a fuzzy ratio of advantages in the process of evaluating the effectiveness of the management system of labor protection of the enterprise allows more objectively identify shortcomings of MSLP, that potentially lead to undesirable consequences and, accordingly, take the necessary measures in time to normalize the situation.
