PTC Holding is taking all necessary preventive measures to limit the spread of the coronavirus.

“We reacted to the threat quite quickly. In the shortest possible time, internal documents regulating the work of the company and security measures during the state of emergency were prepared and published. The company quickly switched to a remote mode of operation in the cities of Astana and Almaty, and additional security measures were taken at the Holding’s production facilities,” said Alisher Limanov, Head of the Occupational Health and Safety Service.

According to him, the necessary protective equipment was purchased and distributed – gloves, antiseptics, masks for more than a thousand employees of the Holding Group of Companies.
