The issue of occupational safety in the Republic of Kazakhstan remains highly relevant due to the increasing number of workplace injuries and accidents. Every year, millions of injuries and hundreds of thousands of fatalities occur in the production sector. In the context of economic growth and intensifying labor processes, ensuring workplace safety has become particularly critical. This article provides a comprehensive analysis of the current state of occupational safety in Kazakhstan and outlines pathways for its improvement. The study examines the causes of industrial injuries and relevant statistical data, identifying key problems in the management of occupational risks. The importance of implementing modern approaches – such as machine learning algorithms, digital modeling, risk forecasting, and the adoption of international best practices (USA, Germany, Japan) – is substantiated. The article also offers concrete recommendations for enhancing workplace safety, including legal reforms, the integration of digital technologies, the development of a safety culture, and the consideration of human factors. The findings contribute to the modernization of Kazakhstan’s occupational safety system and support effective planning for the prevention of workplace accidents
