Abstract

The study showed that an active and continuous fight against harmful effects on the environment caused by the operation of the fuel and energy complex facilities is carried out at various levels, including technological solutions, policy formation in the industry in question, as well as protection mechanisms for specific natural objects. An analysis of the methods available in science to minimize such consequences has shown that only an integrated approach to the situation will make it possible to achieve positive results. In this connection, the purpose of the study is to identify the factors that determine the social danger of acts in the field of the functioning of the objects of the fuel and energy complex, as the basis of preventive mechanisms in the field of environmental protection. The advantage of the presented approach consists in legal counteraction based on a combination of social factors, including an assessment of the potential danger emanating from the objects under consideration. The study of these factors is carried out, to a greater extent, in the context of criminal-legal prevention of reckless acts in the field of environmental safety, which determines its practical and theoretical significance.
