The Zainsk Road Management took 2nd place in the labor protection competition in Tatarstan.

      As part of the event, the winners of the competition "Best Organization for Labor Protection" were awarded. In the nomination "Best Road Management Organization," the Zainsk Automobile Roads Administration took an honorable 2nd place.

      Every year, with the onset of warm weather, the road construction season begins in Tatarstan. Equipment heads out to the roads, workers start pothole repairs, laying asphalt, and reconstructing bridges. It is during this period that the risk of injury sharply increases: both for the road workers themselves and for drivers passing by construction sites. On April 29 in Kazan, under the chairmanship of the Deputy Minister of Transport and Road Management of the Republic of Tatarstan, Ranis Faizullin, leaders and specialists in labor protection from dozens of enterprises in the republic gathered. The main question: how to reduce workplace injuries and accidents at road repair sites to zero.

      Key topics of the meeting included:

      - Requirements for fencing road work sites — temporary signs, warning tapes, traffic lights, concrete blocks.

      - Personnel admission — mandatory medical examinations, briefings, new generation personal protective equipment.

      - Monitoring the condition of equipment — the functionality of jackhammers, rollers, and asphalt pavers.

      - Psychological preparation — addressing fatigue and stress among drivers and heavy machinery operators.

      Ranis Faizullin emphasized: last year, the number of accidents at road sites decreased, but it is too early to relax. Every trip to a site is a zone of increased danger.

      Competition: a fight for safety

      The competition for the best organization for labor protection is an annual tradition of the ministry. All major road enterprises in the republic participate: from Kazan to Almetyevsk, from Naberezhnye Chelny to Zainsk. They evaluate not only the number of briefings and the availability of first aid kits. The commission visits the sites, checks the actual condition of workwear, reviews documentation, and surveys workers. Winning here proves that employee safety is not just on paper, but in real life.

      Zainsk Automobile Roads Administration — silver medalist

      In the nomination "Best Road Management Organization in the Field of Labor Protection," the Zainsk Automobile Roads Administration (UAD) took 2nd place based on the results of 2025. What helped the Zainsk team surpass dozens of competitors?

      - An updated briefing system — introductory, targeted, repeated, and unscheduled for all categories of workers.

      - Modern PPE — ventilated helmets, high-visibility vests, earplugs, and safety glasses.

      - Monitoring driver fatigue — tachographs and wakefulness control sensors are installed on road machinery.

      - Collaboration with medical professionals — monthly on-site medical examinations.

      The UAD management acknowledges: second place is an incentive to fight for first place in 2026.

      Continuation: what's next in Zainsk

      After the awards, the Zainsk team did not just return home with a diploma. The administration's plans include:

      - Implementing a mobile application for operational reports on any emergency situations at the site with photo documentation.

      - Conducting additional first aid training by staff from the Zainsk Central District Hospital.

      - Organizing "Safety Weeks" before each major repair project.

      Moreover, the Zainsk UAD will share its experience with neighboring districts — the initiative has found support from the deputy minister. The exchange of best practices will reduce injuries throughout Tatarstan.

      Meeting outcomes

      Occupational injuries remain a key problem in the transport sector.

      - Special control — over road work sites in the spring-summer season.

      - The Zainsk Automobile Roads Administration is second in the republic for labor protection among road organizations.

      - The competition continues in 2026, and the Zainsk team intends to take "gold."

      The team at the Zainsk UAD has proven that the safety of road workers is not about boring instructions, but about active systematic work. Congratulations on the well-deserved 2nd place! We wish you to maintain the standard, implement even more new solutions, and rise to the top of the podium next year.
