Labor Conditions Assessment

To enhance its process safety, Gazprom conducts special labor conditions assessments (SLCA) and ongoing monitoring of working conditions.

The occupational health services of PJSC Gazprom’s perform SLCA at least once in every five yearsPursuant to Federal Law No. 426-FZ On Special Assessment of Labor Conditions dated December 28, 2013.. The expert organizations included in the relevant register identify working environment and working process factors, and assess their impact on employees.

Operational control over working conditions is carried out annually by industrial sanitation laboratories of PJSC Gazprom’s subsidiaries and entities, and certified third-party laboratories. They identify harmful and/or hazardous workplace factors (if any) and their impact on employees’ health.

  • In 2025, SLCA was carried out:
  • at gas business companies – at 39,503 workplaces (52,659 employees);
  • at Gazprom Mezhregiongaz – at 16,965 workplaces;
  • at Gazprom GNP Holding – at 4,264 workplaces;
  • at Gazprom Neft – at 18,743 workplaces;
  • at Gazprom Energoholding – at 5,010 workplaces.

Based on SLCA and operational control results, annual updates are made to programs for improving labor conditions, and the following steps are taken:

  • informing employees about the identified harmful and/or hazardous workplace factors at production sites;
  • developing and implementing measures to improve working conditions, including the provision of personal and collective protective equipment;
  • conducting mandatory preliminary and periodic medical check-ups.

BR.Occupational Health Service, Support of Employee Health Improvements, Occupational Health Service

Occupational diseases may develop in the Gazprom Group’s employees exposed to production-related chemical and physical factors or experiencing physical overload and functional overexertion of certain bodily organs and systems. The list of high‑risk work types is defined by a corporate standardCorporate standard STO Gazprom Gazprom 18000.2-029-2024 Integrated System of Process Safety Management. High‑Risk Work. Arrangement of Conduct..

The main types of occupational diseases at Gazprom:
  • chronic bilateral sensorineural hearing loss, caused by industrial noise;
  • vibration disease, caused by exposure to whole‑body and local vibration.

In the reporting year, the Gazprom Group had no fatalities caused by occupational diseases.

In 2025, 13Two persons are employees of Gazenergoservis (part of Gazprom Energoholding), which is not covered by the ISPSM. employees of the Gazprom Group were first diagnosed with chronic occupational diseases.

Whenever an occupational disease is confirmed, the Group conducts an investigation to identify the causes and develop and adopt relevant prevention measures.

Occupational disease prevention measures

Road Safety

In 2025, the Driver Health Management project was launched with a view to fostering persistent healthy habits in drivers and reducing risks associated with the sedentary nature of their work. The project participants – employees of PJSC Gazprom Avtopredpriyatie – receive recommendations on lifestyle, physical activity and disease prevention. The project won the Grand Prix in the best corporate program category of the Healthy Working Environment contest.

For more information on employee health protection,  see the Safeguarding Employee Health subsection.

A unified management framework governs the motor transport system and road safety across PJSC Gazprom’s subsidiaries and entities, based on fundamental local regulations.

For more details on the documents regulating motor transport operations, see the Appendix.

In 2025, Gazprom implemented a comprehensive road safety program that included monitoring preventive measures and traffic safety interaction procedures, quarterly meetings with PJSC Gazprom subsidiaries and entities, and deploying transport monitoring based on GLONASS and the Monitor.3S information system.

In addition, the Company developed technical requirements for active driver safety systems, introduced administrative offense tracking, strengthened oversight over transport operators, and updated the Comprehensive Accident Prevention Plan with stricter requirements for third‑party vehicles.

Intelligent Vehicle Monitoring System

Gazprom Neft has deployed an integrated transport risk management system featuring a vehicle monitoring system (VMS) and in‑cabin video analytics. Launched in 2017, the VMS tracks driving parameters, monitors work/rest compliance, and objectively scores driving style, helping cut accident rates by 48%. The in‑cabin video analytics, rolled out from 2024 onward, uses real‑time AI to assess driver condition and flag risky behavior. The system has already prevented over 500 incidents, dangerous behavior per vehicle has fallen by 70%, and up to 80% of violations are corrected by drivers themselves after automatic alerts.

Furthermore, the Company prepared training and methodological materials, arranged psychological counseling for drivers, and ran road accident response drills jointly with emergency rescue services and the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations. Drivers from PJSC Gazprom’s subsidiaries and entities received state honorary badges for accident‑free driving.

Joint Efforts with Trade Unions on Road Safety

The Gazprom Workers’ Union and the Company jointly launched a project to enhance road safety at Astrakhan gas condensate field facilities. Information boards were placed on corporate roads and within vehicle depot areas. Computers and specialized software were bought to train drivers and machinery operators on the basics of safe driving. At the Astrakhan GPP’s transport workshop, rooms were set up for driver sports activities and psychological decompression.
