NC KazMunayGas JSC places the highest priority on occupational health and safety, as well as the protection of the health of residents living in the regions where the company operates. Our employees acknowledge that the Company ensures safe working conditions and implements the highest standards for workplace safety.

In 2024, the number of work-related injuries decreased by 28 % compared to the previous year – from 29 cases in 2023 to 21 cases in 2024. A significant reduction was also recorded in the number of road traffic accidents – down by 68 % (from 19 cases in 2023 to 6 cases in 2024). As in 2023, no fires were registered.

One fatal occupational accident occurred in 2024. The incident took place at Ozenmunaigas JSC during tire inflation using a compressor unit. As a result of a lock ring being ejected from the wheel rim, the operator sustained fatal injuries.

The investigation revealed that the causes of the incident included negligence by the injured party, violation of safety requirements, and unsatisfactory organization of the work process. In response to the incident, KMG implemented a comprehensive set of safety measures:

• Additional briefings and awareness sessions were conducted;
• Work sites were equipped with protective barriers;
• The tire inflation process was reviewed;
• Safety instructions and risk assessments were revised;

Safety signs were installed, and a ban on tire inflation in undesignated areas was introduced.

Additionally, 57 “Wall”-type safety barriers were installed across 12 KMG subsidiaries to ensure safe tire inflation for vehicles and special equipment. Compressor units were equipped with quick-release nozzles to enhance safety during tire inflation.

These measures are aimed at further reducing injury rates and creating safe working conditions for company employees.
