Frequently asked questions

Who can become a participant?
The Rating is open to executives and specialists whose duties include implementing practices for the protection of employees' lives and health in Occupational Health, Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection. These include:

• Top executives (CEOs, vice presidents, operations directors, production directors, etc.)
• Dedicated managers and specialists (Occupational Health, Industrial Safety and Environmental Protection)
• Chief engineers and chief power engineers
• HR leaders
In which language does participation take place?
The Rating runs in two language streams — Russian and English. You choose the language you speak most confidently: the questionnaire, jury interview and public presentation are all conducted in that language.
How much does participation cost?
The registration fee is 9,900 rubles. Payment is due after the application is approved by the Organizing Committee.

The registration fee is waived for holders of an active PRO or VIP subscription.
How are participants assigned to streams?
Participants are divided by years of industrial experience.

• "Rising Star": 3 to 6 years of experience.
• General Stream: 7 to 14 years of experience.
• "Premier League": more than 15 years of experience.
Can I participate again?
Yes, you can apply every year. The Rating is updated annually, and previous candidates may confirm their status or improve their position in the next season.
I took part last year — do I need to go through everything again?
By agreement with the Organizing Committee, you may carry over your scores for the questionnaire and/or interview from last year. You can also submit your presentation from the previous year's Annual HSE DAYS Forum as your case.
How are the points calculated?
The final score is calculated using the formula:
Questionnaire points + interview points + case points + additional points.

Score range for each stage (from minimum to maximum):
• Questionnaire: 2 to 10 points.
• Interview: 8 to 40 points. A further +5 points may be awarded at this stage for an innovative case. The decision on additional points is taken by majority vote of the jury members present.
• Case presentation: 10 to 50 points.
• Expert Blog: each published article earns 1 additional point (up to a maximum of 5 points).

For a detailed description of the scoring and voting mechanics, see the Rating Regulations.
Does everyone advance to the public presentation stage?
No. Access to the case presentation on the HSE DAYS stage is the result of a competitive selection.

The interview is the key stage. Based on its outcome, Expert Council members hold an open vote and decide whether the candidate and their case are ready for public presentation.

If the experts decide you need to refine your material, they provide detailed recommendations and grant a second interview attempt. The preparation time for the second attempt is determined individually.
If you need more time to finalize your case or cannot complete the stages within the deadlines, your application will be deferred to the next season. In that case, you can continue your participation next year using the scores you have already earned.
Where can I see my results for each stage?
All information about your participation is available in your personal account. There you can:

• Track your schedule: always see which stage you are currently on and what comes next.
• View your scores: points for the questionnaire, interview, presentation and any additional points appear in your account as soon as the Organizing Committee records them.
• Check your total score: the system automatically sums all your scores and displays a provisional overall total.
• Download materials: useful resources are stored in your account, such as the "Speaker's Guide", to help you prepare for each stage of the Rating.
Who can I contact if I need help?
Support is available at every level:
• Organizing Committee: accompanies you at every stage of the Rating and helps you prepare at a high standard. You can reach out with any organizational matter or for technical and informational support.
• Jury members: open to dialogue and happy to share their experience. You can request a meeting to receive feedback and prepare more thoroughly for the Rating stages. Many jury members take on candidates for mentoring, sharing their personal experience and helping not only to successfully complete all stages of the Rating but also to grow professionally.
Are only the TOP 10 recognized with awards?
No. Recognition is given to all professionals who complete the Rating stages and reach the final. The award system is built on a tiered structure:

• Winners (TOP 10 in each stream): receive winner status, exclusive personalized awards with a unique design, and a personal invitation to the stage for the award ceremony.
• Finalists (ranks 11 through 100): are honored with Rating participation diplomas. The diploma records the candidate's achievement — their placement in the corresponding qualification band, for example TOP 20, TOP 30, and so on up to TOP 100.
• Public recognition: all finalists are invited on stage as a group to receive their diplomas and for a group photograph.
