This Order of the Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) updates “Norm No. 7,” which regulates the provision of equipment, bedding, and special clothing to military personnel of the Security Service of Ukraine. The document details the list of necessary property, establishes clear service life periods, and defines the conditions for issuance for various categories of personnel — from cadets to specialists working with machinery, chemical substances, or conducting expert research. Effectively, the order systematizes logistical support, adapting it to the contemporary needs of the service and occupational health and safety requirements.
**Structure and Main Provisions:**
The Order consists of an updated “Norm No. 7” table and a detailed section of notes. The table is divided into seven sections: equipment and footwear, bedding, special clothing for vehicle maintenance, special clothing for specific operations, industrial clothing, clothing for performing various special tasks, and gear for specialists conducting forensic examinations. Compared to previous versions, the document significantly expands the list of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and specifies issuance norms for new types of activities, including work with 3D printers, laser equipment, and the conduct of complex forensic investigations.
**Key Provisions for Implementation:**
1. **Differentiation by Type of Work:** The order clearly links the issuance of specific special clothing to official duties and working conditions (harmfulness, danger, work with chemicals, or high voltage).
2. **System of Notes:** Notes 1-30 are critically important as they define the procedure for the replacement of property, retention norms (e.g., the number of towels or bedsheets), and the conditions for the issuance of “on-duty” inventory, which is assigned not to an individual, but to a workplace.
3. **Flexibility of Provision:** The substitution of certain items of logistical property with others within the cost equivalent is permitted, allowing for a more rational use of budgetary funds.
4. **Occupational Health and Safety:** In the event that a specific item is absent from this norm, the order refers to standard industry norms, which ensures the legal protection of military personnel when working in hazardous conditions.
