The Declaration of the BRICS Labour and Employment Ministers, signed on September 10, 2024 in Sochi, identi es prospective areas of cooperation in labour relations, social security, and work culture, as well as the reduction of work-related accidents. In light of these objectives, the article analyses the legislation of Russia and China that formalizes the procedures for compensating employees with work-related injuries and occupational diseases. The article examines the legal and regulatory framework, the occurrence of losses, the characteristics of the workers’ compensation systems, and the procedures for providing compensation to employees with workrelated injuries and occupational diseases in both countries. Special emphasis is placed on the analysis of existing fundamental arrangements for the social insurance of work-related events. The authors demonstrate similarities and di erences in the approaches to protecting employees who have sustained work-related injuries and make the conclusion that both countries may draw on each other’s experience of legal regulation in order to improve the social security of injured employees.
