The best laboratory technicians were determined at the branch "KCHHK".

      The championship consists of two stages: a regional stage at the enterprises and a corporate final, where the winners from each of the "Uralchem" production sites will meet. The regional competition at the "KCHC" branch traditionally consisted of three stages. The first stage was a theoretical knowledge check: participants underwent testing and solved problems. The second stage included a demonstration of practical skills — specialists performed laboratory work to determine the iron content in a sample. The final third stage tested the professional eye measurement: contestants determined the specified mass of the sample without using weighing equipment.

      As a result of the competitions, first place was taken by Alena Nelyubina, second place went to Ksenia Kolbina, and third place was awarded to Daria Bagryantseva. The winners were awarded diplomas and cash prizes. The prize winners will represent the "KCHC" branch at the corporate stage of the II Championship of Professional Skills.

      Andrey Zaikin, Deputy Director for Personnel and Social Policy of the "KCHC" branch of "OHC Uralchem":

      Competitions in professional skills have been held regularly at the "KCHC" branch for many years. They serve as a powerful tool for motivating personnel, allow for the objective identification of the best specialists in their fields, and strengthen team spirit. The competition once again confirmed the high level of training of our laboratory assistants. The corporate final of the II Championship will take place in October of this year in Kirovo-Chepetsk. Winners will be determined in four nominations: "Line Manager in Production," "Chemical Analysis Laboratory Assistant," "Locomotive Driver," and "Electrician."
