The meeting addressed issues of ensuring labor rights and guarantees for crane operators and safe working conditions during the operation of tower cranes. Regarding the supervision of organizations operating tower cranes, the Department of Rostekhnadzor oversees 81 organizations of the republic, operating 297 tower cranes, including 224 in the city of Kazan. Also were discussed issues of training. Despite the abundance of training courses for crane operators, there is no practical component in the training process. That is, the driver after 3 months of training has only a theoretical idea of working at height. There are no necessary faculties in transport technical colleges.
