The key to success of the new industrialisation is not just economic modernisation in terms of information technology, robotics and other technical innovations. The modernisation of manufacturing plants is also about safety, both internally (in terms of worker safety) and externally (in terms of environmental safety). In this process, the head of such enterprises and organisations will play a key role. Given the new requirements and the new vector of economic development ("green economy"), the requirements for all organisations are increasing, and there is a need to improve the skills of managers of organisations, so that their training meets the new conditions of life. The paper considers and analyses the prerequisites for the formation of a unified system of training for managers of organisations in the field of occupational health and environmental safety. Legislative problems in separate directions of training for managers have been revealed. Proposals for the formation of a unified system of training for managers have been made. Key words: new industrialization, manager of organisation, environmental safety, environmental protection, labour protection.
