Prevention of occupational diseases
GRI 403‑3
In order to study and reduce the potential impact of production factors, as well as prevent morbidity, Nornickel consistently monitors employees’ health.
Employees undergo compulsory pre‑employment examinations, and regular and ad hoc medical check‑ups. Those who are involved in hazardous operations are subject to regular examinations held at least once in five years by healthcare organisations authorised to conduct pre‑employment and regular check‑ups. These serve to assess occupational health fitness and determine if the disease is work‑related.
Before starting their working day, employees undergo pre‑shift and pre‑trip check‑ups on site.
The Company provides employees working in hazardous conditions with foods, milk, and other equivalent food products for therapeutic purposes in compliance with the applicable laws and Nornickel’s by‑laws.
