Equipment operation safety
Safety in the operation of technological equipment is a priority for the Fund group. We strive to provide safe working environment for all employees and minimize the risks associated with the operation of equipment
Safety when working with machines and equipment
Since 2022, the group has been implementing the Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) blocking and information system procedure to reduce the risks of electric shock
In order to minimize the risks of accidents, grave accidents and fatalities, long-term approved Plans for technical re-equipment of obsolete and worn-out equipment and facilities for 2024-2027 are in effect at the PC level
Cross audits of occupational safety conditions in Portfolio Companies and their branches are conducted on an ongoing basis. Experts in occupational safety from various companies of the Fund group are involved in the audits, which ensures the exchange of experience, helps to build up knowledge in the field of occupational safety, which, in turn, contributes to improving the level of occupational safety culture
The following proactive tools are applied in the Fund Portfolio Companies group:
Behavioral safety audits
Recording and investigation of unsafe acts and hazardous conditions
Near Misses
The right to stop unsafe work being performed (Stop Work)
Our approach to transportation safety
The movement of our employees, goods and equipment by road and specialized vehicles poses a safety risk, so transportation safety is a key issue in our operations

- Phased renewal of the car vehicle fleet
- Phased introduction of mechanisms for safe driving, including GPS monitoring, analysis of the main factors affecting transportation safety, and voice information of drivers about violations
- In order to develop the habit of employees to fasten their seat belts in the car, we will take measures to practically test the training simulator of a head-on collision in RTA
- Over 4,000 drivers have been trained in the Safe Driving program

Digitalization
To ensure the required level of transparency in reporting and develop communications in the field of occupational safety, a number of initiatives were implemented in terms of digitalization of processes:
Dashboards on incidents were formed to promptly inform management on current occupational injury statistics
The practice of collecting and reviewing suggestions from employees via QR has been introduced
Appropriate forms for recording incidents among employees, including contractors, were launched in the reporting management system.
The practice of assessing the level of occupational safety by all employees of the Fund during business trips to subsidiaries/branches of Portfolio Companies has been introduced
