The workplace description is not an official document, but it is quite often in demand in personnel records management. It may be required for an employee to register a disability or when drawing up a workplace design. In different situations, a document may have its own drafting features. However, there is no approved form of such a document and companies can independently develop it and approve it in their local regulatory documents. In the article we will look at why a workplace profile is needed, how to compile it, and also provide a sample of it.
What is a workplace characteristic?
The characteristics of the workplace is a document that is drawn up according to the conditions of production activities. Such a document may be required if it is necessary for an employee to undergo a medical examination to establish a disability, in the case of students undergoing certification, or when improving the qualifications of employees . Despite the fact that such a concept as “workplace characteristics” is not used in regulatory legal acts, it can be found quite often in regional or industry-specific regulatory documents.
General design requirements
The characteristics have a standard, generally accepted format established by the regulatory documents of the Ministry of Health, and are drawn up on a special form. An organization can produce such a form on its own, since it is printed on ordinary A4 stationery paper.
The characteristic consists of three main parts:
- title;
- basic information;
- date and signature of the head of the employing organization.
The signature of the head of the organization is certified by a seal.
When is a workplace characteristic needed?
If an employee requires an expert assessment to determine the degree of disability or to determine incapacity, as well as to establish disability, then a certificate describing his workplace may be required. In addition, this document may also be needed when certifying an employee, or in the case of personnel selection. Also, characterization of working conditions can be useful in internal office work. In this case, the document contains information about the employees’ personal workplaces, as well as about the collective workplace. The certificate describes the workplace in some detail, as well as its location and equipment (
Filling out the form for the examination
An employee of the organization or the ITU can initiate the preparation of documents. In the first case, you will need to indicate the institution at whose request you need to fill out the form. In the second situation, a request from the bureau is required. The characteristics are drawn up on a special A4 format. You need to prepare the paper in 2 copies. A copy remains in your personal file. The original is provided to the employee. Arbitrary entry of information is acceptable. However, it is important to take into account all the requirements. To minimize the risk of errors, production specifications for the 2022 ITU are recommended.
If the citizen continues to be listed as an employee of the enterprise, all information is indicated in the present tense. If there was a dismissal - in the past.
The form must contain at least 13 mandatory items. The exact volume depends on the disease.

The paper prepared for ITU must contain the following information:
- Full name of the employee. Indicated in the nominative case.
- Name of the organization. Indicated in full. You have to write down the legal address, department, area where the patient works.
- Position held and length of service. The period of time during which the person works in this company is indicated. Additionally, assigned qualifications are specified.
- Main specialty.
- Information about the employee's qualifications. The name, assigned category, class and rank are indicated.
- The main type of employment. Information about the work performed by the person is also indicated here. This can be manual or machine labor.
- The daily routine is reflected. You will need to specify the number of days off and the duration of your vacation. Data about the position in which a person is forced to perform work duties is also recorded here. The employer must reflect the amount of psychological and physical stress, as well as the level of hazards and noise. This section must be filled out with great care. It allows you to get an idea of the adverse factors affecting the body.
- Information about labor productivity. Output is expressed as a percentage. Additionally, it is indicated whether the citizen copes with the daily norm. If the indicators are low, it is important to indicate the reason that led to this.
- Data is recorded on the submitted certificates of incapacity for work and the amount of time that was provided as leave. Data is provided for 12 months.
- The clause specifies the types of benefits available to the employee. This may be the right not to go on business trips, a short working day, or exemption from workload.
- The employer reflects the ongoing relocation with a change in wages as a result of the deterioration of the employee’s well-being, if such a thing occurred. It is necessary to reflect when the action was performed and where the face was moved. The assigned position is recorded.
- The manager indicates whether he can provide the employee with a different position taking into account the disability. If a transfer was carried out before, the paragraph states that it will not be possible to carry out the action again.
- Information is reflected that was not previously specified, but may have an impact on the examination. Here they usually write about the personal qualities of a citizen, his abilities and skills.
Increased attention should be paid to entering information into sections that indicate the difficulty of performing certain loads.
An example of this is point 8. It is important to record the actual amount of work performed, as well as the percentage.
There is no need to reflect the information on the ITU form in too much detail. The information is entered concisely.
It is recommended to write down only data relating to the possibility of moving to another position. There is no point in praising a citizen. The document is not filled out to find a new place of employment. It does not constitute a recommendation. The form is required so that doctors conducting the examination can realistically assess the patient’s condition and the level of complexity of the disease. The finished document is signed by the head of the organization or the head of the human resources department. The paper is certified with a wet seal. If medical personnel are present, they also sign. You can fill out the production characteristics for ITU below.
