Staff training and development
Together with Samruk-Kazyna Business Academy PE we have developed a unified corporate training course called “Culture of Labor Safety”, which is based on the 7 Vision Zero Rules and aimed at increasing the level of competence of the Fund group’s employees in creating and maintaining safe working conditions at workplace.
Training for this course is being implemented from January 2023 after receiving the approval from the UK Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (IOSH). In addition to production personnel, from this year the training perimeter also includes employees of contractors carrying out long-term works at our production facilities
Portfolio company employees are trained in NEBOSH, IOSH and defensive driving courses to increase their knowledge, responsibility for safety and to demonstrate leadership and engagement through personal example
