An inspection of hazardous industrial facilities is set to
be conducted in Kazakhstan following a tragic incident at a Kazakhmys
Corporation mine in the Ulytau region. Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev
issued this directive, highlighting the unacceptable state of labor safety.
Companies have not invested enough in such projects, leading to industrial
accidents, injuries, and fatalities among workers. The Head of State has
instructed the government to take a series of measures, including the
digitalization of facilities, the introduction of automated forecasting and alert
systems, as well as modern labour safety systems, such as seismic sensors, positioning
systems, and others. Additionally, President Tokayev emphasized the need to tighten
oversight and control mechanisms in the field of industrial safety.
