Power engineers have no time to be ill

Health care of employees is one of the priorities of the social policy of IDGC of Centre — Yarenergo division. To preserve the health of personnel at the enterprise a medical check and an additional medical examination of employees is performed annually.

For 6 months of 2012 944 employees of Yarenergo have passed their mandatory periodic medical examinations. Frequency of checks and a list of doctors, whose examination is necessary to pass depends on detrimental factors and/or hazards in the workplace, which an employee is subject to.
