Hello!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>International Workers\u2019 Memorial Day \u2013 April 28<\/span><\/p>\n

We inform you that the topic of psychosocial risks is gradually gaining more development in our country<\/span>.\u00a0Trade unions are paying increasing attention to the study and dissemination of this relatively new direction in the field of occupational safety and health<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In Kazakhstan, a new Concept of Safe Labor for the period up to 2030 was put into effect on January 1, 2025<\/span>.\u00a0This Concept provides for a new Classifier of harmful production factors affecting the human body at the workplace<\/span>.\u00a0Section “05.2.3 Stress in the emotional sphere” is separately included in the Classifier<\/span>.\u00a0Our experience in this direction is still small, but we have already begun active work<\/span>.<\/p>\n

In order to familiarize workers with this topic, a lecture was organized in the city of Almaty in 2025, which I presented during a seminar with trade union workers (chairmen of coal industry trade unions)<\/span>.\u00a0It is the coal industry that is the leader in terms of the number of accidents and injuries, which is why the familiarization was started in this industry<\/span>.\u00a0I am attaching my presentation in Russian to the letter (I am adding the English translation as a separate file)<\/span>.\u00a0If you have any questions, I am ready to provide the necessary clarifications<\/span>.<\/p>\n

I also want to inform you that we are preparing to speak on the topic of psychosocial risks at the international KIOSH-2026 Conference<\/span>.\u00a0This international conference is held in Kazakhstan annually in the spring<\/span>.\u00a0In addition, I include the topic of psycho-emotional risks in the lectures that I conduct during the training of trade union workers (mining and metallurgical industry, mechanical engineering, forestry, etc.)<\/span>.<\/p>\n

We are also very eager to get acquainted with international experience, so we will be glad to receive any information that you can share with us<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Sincerely, Marat Imash, Head of the Occupational Safety and Health Department, Federation of Trade Unions of the Republic of Kazakhstan<\/span>.<\/p>\n
