Special Evaluation of Labor Conditions (SELC)
In the Company, a total of 18,013 workplaces are subject to SELC, of which a SELC/ARM was conducted at 18,013 workplaces. According to the results of SELC, 2,562 workplaces that do not meet the regulatory requirements for labor protection, employing 2,666 workers, have been identified.
The main causes of non-compliance of workplaces with the requirements of occupational safety are the following harmful (dangerous) factors: noise; vibration; infrasound; tension and severity of the labor process (jobs: electricians for repair of overhead lines, electricians for operation of distribution networks, electricians for repair of equipment of switchgears); non-ionizing radiation, illumination (workstations of engineering technicians).
Employees who perform their duties at workplaces that do not comply with state regulatory requirements for labor protection are paid compensation for work in harmful labor conditions, are provided with additional leaves, milk or other equivalent products. The problematic (controversial) moments during the SELC in 2018 were not identified.

|---|---|---|---|
| Minor | 2 | 4 | 0 |
| Severe | 0 | 1 | 1 |
| Fatal (specify the region and sex) | 4 | 1 | 3 |
| Injury rateInjury rate = N × 1000 / N (N – number of occupational incidents for the reporting period with loss of labor capacity for one and more days taken into account, Ч – average number of staff) | 0.303 | 0.300 | 0.200 |
| Traumatism severity rateTraumatism severity rate = D / N (D – total number of days of incapacity for work for all cases; N – total number of incidents) | 0.202 | 0.050 | 0.150 |
