OHS Training
NOVATEK strives to improve employee awareness about occupational health and safety. To this end, the Company annually prepares and implements an employee training and professional development program, taking into account the analysis of accident causes. Particular attention is paid to the training of blue-collar employees, with regular briefings held for them.
Occupational health training and knowledge testing are conducted on-the-job, including using a licensed automated training and knowledge testing system.
The Company also organizes employee training at training sites in safe methods of conducting hazardous operations, such as fire and gas-hazardous operations and work at height. The frequency of such training is at least once a year.
OHS Certification
Managers and employees of subsidiaries and affiliated companies are regularly certified according to the rules of industrial safety in the territorial commissions of Rostechnadzor. From among them, attestation commissions have been established according to the rules of industrial safety, which carry out certification and admission of personnel to independent work at hazardous production facilities through the Unified Testing Portal information system.
