From 1996 the growth of insurance companies activity in the market of insuring is expected in Russia. It is conditioned by the decision of Russian Government to allow industrialists attribute insurance payments to the cost of production being put out. These are the following payments on insurance, attributed to such payments:

• payments on insurance of means of transport (water, air, land transports);

• payments on insurance of enterprises's property;

• of the civil responsibility of enterprises in the case of an accidents, etc.

The market of insurance industrial risks didn't completely go in Russia.

The view of Russian insurance companies services by insuring industrial risks is attributed in the work. So, the rates of insurance bonus when insuring goods supplies of the oil/chemical industry are from 0,4% (the company "Ingosstrakh") to 6% (the company "Russia"). Such big differences in the rate of insurance bonus are conditioned by a number of causes, including differences in using methods of industrial risks value. Statistics about emergencies in Russia during 1991-1995 are attributed and the methods of defining the rates of insurance bonuses, which are used in Russia, are analysed in this work.
