OHS training
GRI 403‑5 / SASB EM‑MM‑320a.1Nornickel employees are upskilled in OHS through briefings and training courses, which include dedicated comprehensive programme modules factoring into the specifics of our operations.
In 2023, a project on the workplace safety culture coaching proceeded to an active stage: there are trainings, team‑building events, and experience sharing between Group companies. The project involves two modules: Dynamic Risk Assessment (learning the risk assessment algorithm, working with checklists, identifying risks and taking measures to eliminate and minimise them) and Behavioural Safety Audit (learning management tools, discussing employees’ risky actions in an informal manner).
Target group: blue‑collar employees
Target group: line managers
The Company’s top managers and executives are involved in the process of risk management and training in new safety tools. In 2023, Stanislav Seleznev, Vice President for Ecology and Industrial Safety, conducted behavioural safety audit trainings for the managers of the Group’s branches and Russian business units, and each and every member of Nornickel’s Management Board.
Road safety
In 2023, Nornickel introduced a set of measures aimed at ensuring road safety. Along with the approval of the corporate road safety standard, the current road safety status was assessed in all Group’s branches and Russian business units, including audits of Nornickel’s road transport companies; action plans were developed for 2023–2025 to adjust the standard with due regard to the specifics of each of the Group’s companies.
To improve driving discipline and enhance driving culture, we trained 2,855 Nornickel employees, including 100% of high‑risk drivers (1,318), and 287 contractor employees. The Company’s executives acted as role models for the project: in the reporting year, 18 vice presidents and directors of Nornickel took safe driving courses.
In addition, briefings have been prepared on key road safety risks, including distracted driving, the effects of driver fatigue, and seatbelt use.
According to the collected accident data, the Company had 3.54 road accidents per 1 mln kilometres driven by the end of 2023.
Meetings with representatives of Russian oil and gas companies have been organised to share experience on road safety.
