Risk Classification by Industry: Practical Application
Understanding the professional risk classification system is essential for effective planning of OSGOR (Compulsory Employer’s Liability Insurance) expenses. All types of economic activity are divided into 20 risk classes with coefficients ranging from 0.571 to 7.714 [1].
Low-Risk Industries (Classes 1–3, Coefficients 0.571–1.143)
Class 1 (Coefficient 0.571):
Design and architectural-planning organizations
Wholesale trade (warehouses, cold storage facilities, distribution centers)
Commodity exchanges, brokerage and dealer firms
Trading houses and commercial centers
Practical significance: Minimal OSGOR expenses. A company with 100 employees can save tens of millions of Uzbek soums annually compared to high-risk sectors.
Class 2 (Coefficient 0.857):
Standardization and metrology centers
State regulatory laboratories
Customs clearance services
Class 3 (Coefficients 0.857–1.143):
