Occupational safety during production tasks is a priority. Kamet-Steel, together with experts from Metinvest Polytechnic, organised two-day training sessions on the top risks of lifting equipment. The participants were line managers of the plant's divisions. After all, they are the main link between the plant's managers, from whom production tasks are received, and the direct executors – the workforce. That is why it is so important for them to have technical knowledge of the safety of work using lifting mechanisms, to be able to correctly assess possible risks before starting such work and, at the same time, to correctly analyse and provide information to the employees performing the work. These are the areas that are covered in the two-day training sessions led by experienced trainers from Metinvest Polytechnic University. During the first, theoretical part, participants gain new knowledge about the regulatory framework for organising lifting operations. Presentation and video mater

The roadheader has a relatively small size with a wide cutting range. When used carefully, it is capable of operating tr

The Zaporizhsteel rolling mill engineer defends Ukraine in the ranks of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.According to Global Firepower's ranking of the strongest armies, the Ukrainian army ranks fourth in Europe. The army's material and technical resources and supply, which are taken into account when compiling the ranking, play a major role. However, for every Ukrainian, our defenders remain the best beyond any rankings, thanks to their courage, bravery and humanity. Among the defenders of Ukraine, there are many people who had nothing to do with the army before the war: they worked as teachers, engineers, power engineers, steel makers - but in the face of the threat, they rose to the defence of Ukraine. Where do Ukrainian defenders get their strength from? It's simple. The power of unity, unconditional acceptance and support, and the extraordinary efforts of civilian Ukrainians in the joint struggle against the occupiers are the most reliable sources of energy. This is also the opinion o
