Tokayev gave instructions after the tragedy at the mine in Ulytau

Tengrinews.kz – President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev drew attention to the "unacceptable state of affairs in the field of labor safety" in connection with the tragic incident at the mine of the Kazakhmys corporation and instructed the government to take measures, according to the press service of Akorda.
As stated in the report, there are cases of gross violation of established requirements, the facilities are poorly equipped with industrial safety systems. Companies do not invest enough in projects aimed at ensuring safe working conditions. All this leads to man-made accidents, deaths and injuries to workers.
The President instructed the government to take measures to ensure the safety of citizens involved in hazardous industries:

Conduct an audit of the facilities for their compliance with industrial safety standards.
Develop and implement modern safety systems at the specified facilities, including gas alarms, seismic sensors, positioning systems, and others.
Ensure digitalization at the facilities in terms of the introduction of automated forecasting and warning systems.
Based on the audit results, provide for an increase in investment in modern industrial safety systems by adjusting the work programs of subsoil users.
Tighten supervision and control mechanisms in the field of industrial safety.

These instructions of the Head of State have been placed under special control in the Presidential Administration.
