The Company's primary priorities are employee occupational health and safety. The Company is continually working to develop safe working conditions, prevent injuries during technological operations, improve operational and sanitary and living conditions, and mitigate the influence of hazardous and unfavourable elements.

The Company has a Health and Safety Management System that covers the activities of all of the Company's business units and subsidiaries, with the goal of ensuring the effectiveness and improvement of health and safety performance, as well as managing the relevant risks associated with the Company's specific nature of business. Every year, a safety and health programme is developed that specifies the tasks, costs, and timelines for their implementation. The Company has successfully implemented and passed certification for compliance with the international standard ISO 45001:2018.

Every year, workplaces are identified and assessed, a risk register and a list of significant health and safety risks is compiled and risk mitigation measures are developed based on the results of the assessment.

The results of hazard and risk assessment and analysis are input data for the development of targets and planning indicators. The assessment and analysis of hazards and risks is based on the classifiers of activities, hazards applicable to KEGOC activities taking into account the geographical area and climate and include

• identification of hazards and risks on the basis of classifiers;
• risk assessment and respective management measures in place;
• identification of any additional risk management measures required;
• assessing whether the risk management measures are sufficient to reduce the risk to an acceptable level.

One key risk for the Company is workplace accidents. To minimize this risk, the following activities were conducted in 2023:

• Qualification checks of occupational safety and industrial safety knowledge;
• Analysis of video footage from operational switching and repair work;
• Safety Days;
• Unexpected workplace inspections in MES branches;
• Behavioral safety audits during work;
• Speed compliance monitoring for drivers using satellite systems and reviewing dashcam recordings.

Prior to admission to work, employees are trained in safe working practices, workplace internship, initial qualification check, control training, duplication in the workplace, carried out under the supervision of the person responsible for training.

Mandatory pre-shift medical examination of employees engaged in heavy work, work in harmful and (or) hazardous working conditions, pre-trip and post-trip medical examination of drivers is carried out. Also, annual medical examinations of operational personnel are carried out to determine their health status.
