Preparation for the international Steel Safety Day, held under the auspices of the World Steel Association, became a tradition at TMK’s plants. As a result of its implementation, there was a decrease in overall injury rates in all Divisions of the Company.

A campaign to identify, remove or reduce safety risks at workplaces to an acceptable level is held on a regular basis.

A significant resources are allocated to implement occupational and industrial safety measures, including to ensure compliance with statutory requirements, purchase personal protective equipment, special clothes and footwear, and run a disease prevention program.

As a result of all these efforts the Company’s entities reduced their overall injury rates, reported zero cases of group accidents and emergencies, while the level of occupational diseases remained consistently low.
