Over the past three years, the number of casualties in the production of Kazakhstan has decreased by 16%, said the chairman of the Labor and Social Protection Committee of Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Labor and Social Protection Akmadi Sarbasov. Nevertheless, industrial injuries remain.
‘By the year of 2017, we have 1 678 employees who injured at the enterprises, 244 of them died. The largest number of victims is traditionally observed at the mining and metallurgical complex, as well as in the construction industry. In the regional context, the highest level of industrial injuries is retained in the East Kazakhstan region, Karaganda, Pavlodar, Kostanay regions, and Almaty’, said Akmadi Sarbasov.
He said that the most important reason for injuries in the workplace is that employers do not provide safe working conditions, they do not instruct people and do not provide individual and collective protection.
In most cases (14%) people fall under moving and rotating objects. Accidents dropped from the height of people are 13% of the total number of injured. Accidents due to collapse, falling objects are 10%.
