Court ordered VGOK to pay for workplace accident, 21 September 2022
The Arbitration Court of Sverdlovsk Region refused to recognize as illegal the decision of Rostekhnadzor to fine OJSC Vysokogorsk Mining and Processing Plant (VGOK, Nizhny Tagil) for gross violation of industrial safety requirements, which led to a workplace accident.
The workplace accident occurred in March 2022. A mechanic responsible for repairing equipment at Lebyazhinsky sintering shop fell while dismantling the crusher. He was taken to Nizhny Tagil hospital with serious injuries.
During the investigation of the incident, Rostechnadzor identified gross violations of industrial safety at VGOK and imposed a fine of 500 thousand rubles. However, the plant tried to challenge the ruling, but to no avail.
