On February 25 of this year, the AMMC Industrial Rail Transport Department held another preventive event among employees of Railroad Shop No. 4.

The event discussed such important issues as accidents that occurred in the complex’s divisions, compliance with labor discipline in the workplace, the fight against corruption, the prevention of any form of religious extremism, drug trafficking, fraud, the prevention of crime among young people, the improvement of the social and spiritual environment, as well as measures to combat offenses and their consequences.

The event was attended by the senior investigator of the investigative department of the Internal Affairs Directorate at the Altai Mining and Metallurgical Complex of the Main Directorate of Internal Affairs of the Tashkent Region I. Djurakulov, senior investigator B. Abdullaev, deputy head of the Industrial Railroad Transportation Department (IRTD) for the safety of inventory items M.

Recently, there have been frequent cases of financial fraud, when, using social technologies and manipulation, attackers deceive people, taking their money or gaining access to funds on bank cards and in mobile applications. To avoid such cases, never disclose confirmation codes to strangers. Do not share one-time codes that you receive via SMS. Using such codes, fraudsters can transfer funds from your account without your permission or gain access to manage your funds through mobile applications. Do not share information about your bank card or account in the bank’s mobile application with strangers. Also remember that to transfer funds, you only need to know the 16-digit number of your card.

It is important to remember that bank employees will never ask you to provide information about the card’s expiration date or confirmation codes received via SMS. If you receive a call from someone claiming to be a bank employee, payment system administrator, or government agency representative, asking you to provide your bank card or mobile app account details, do not give them any confidential information.

For reference, in Uzbekistan, fraud using information technology is punishable by fines of 300 to 400 basic calculation units, as well as punishment in the form of correctional labor for a term of 2 to 3 years or imprisonment for a term of 5 to 8 years, explained I. Djurakulov.

1. Abdullaev noted that industrial accidents often occur due to carelessness and negligence, even the most minor mistakes can lead to serious consequences.

In 2024, 15 accidents occurred in the structural divisions of the complex, of which 3 resulted in minor injuries, 6 - serious, and 6 - fatal. Having analyzed the causes of these incidents, we came to the conclusion that most of them happened due to ignoring safety standards, haste and violation of technological requirements. Most often, accidents occurred due to disorganization and insufficient technical training at the workplace, - noted O. Rakhmatillaev.

1. Madmarov, in turn, called on each employee to be more attentive and responsible. He emphasized that even small omissions and mistakes in the workplace can negatively affect not only production results, but also undermine the reputation of the entire team, as well as affect the well-being of their families.
