The Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation has published its schedule of control and supervisory measures for 2026. This article outlines how businesses can avoid penalties and unplanned inspections.

The Invisible Threat: Why "High Risk" Extends Beyond Industrial Giants

The inspection system for 2026 has become highly targeted. Scheduled on-site inspections by the State Labor Inspectorate (GIT) will be conducted solely for entities categorized under "extremely high" and "high" risk. A company's risk category can be escalated due to employee complaints, workplace accidents, court rulings on labor disputes, or violations identified during a "preventive visit." The existing moratorium for most businesses does not guarantee immunity; a preventive visit can quickly escalate into an unscheduled inspection.

The 2026 Focus

The inspection plan encompasses dozens of regulatory agencies. In addition to the GIT, businesses should prepare for potential visits from Rospotrebnadzor (consumer protection), Rosprirodnadzor (environmental), and Gospozhnadzor (fire safety).
Inspectors are increasingly employing cross-agency data analysis. Discrepancies in VAT reporting, for instance, can trigger an inquiry from the GIT. Your company's data is already within state information systems, making its consistency critically important.

Three Essential Steps to Take

  1. Conduct a Free 5-Minute Self-Assessment. Locate your company in the plan on the proverki.gov.ru website using your Taxpayer Identification Number (TIN).
  2. Perform a Proactive HR Audit. Analyze potential vulnerabilities: employment contracts, payroll calculations, occupational health and safety, and internal regulations.
  3. Develop a Remediation "Roadmap." Identified risks must be mitigated in a documented and verifiable manner.
