Gotek JSC has been awarded first place in the category for best occupational health and safety conditions at an organization, as part of the city stage of the regional competition in the Kursk region for 2025.
The awards ceremony, held last week by the Zheleznogorsk administration, recognized enterprises and specialists contributing to the development of safe working environments and advancing occupational safety standards. The competition highlights organizations demonstrating sustained commitment to improving workplace conditions and fostering a culture of safety.
Gotek JSC’s recognition reflects what organizers described as consistent, long-term efforts by the company to enhance industrial safety practices. The award acknowledges systematic work carried out across the organization, focusing on employee well-being, risk prevention, and the implementation of modern safety approaches.
According to the event’s organizers, such distinctions are intended to underscore the importance of occupational safety as an integral part of operational management rather than a formal requirement. Companies recognized in the competition are seen as setting benchmarks for workplace safety within the region.
The Kursk regional competition serves as a platform to identify and promote best practices in occupational health and safety, encouraging enterprises to adopt higher standards and continuous improvement initiatives. Gotek JSC’s first-place ranking positions it among the leading organizations in the region in terms of workplace safety performance.
