Bailiffs suspend electric locomotives at Lovozersky Mining and Processing Plant for three months, September 9, 2025

Bailiffs suspended the operation of technical equipment at the Karnasurt mine for 90 days due to violations of industrial safety requirements. During an inspection of compliance with industrial safety regulations at the hazardous production facility of the Karnasurt mine in Revda, specialists from the North-Western Directorate of Rostekhnadzor identified violations that could pose a threat to the life and health of the company’s workers.

As a result, the legal entity responsible for the administrative offense was penalized with a 90-day suspension of operations of specific technical equipment — contact mine electric locomotives operating at the Karnasurt mine. A bailiff, together with a representative of Rostekhnadzor, descended more than 300 meters underground to the location of the locomotives to enforce the suspension order.
