06-10-2026

With the start of the academic year, preventive work with schoolchildren to prevent child injuries at railway transport facilities is taking place in all regions of Kazakhstan. The events are organized as part of KTZ's republican campaign "Safe Railway" and the nationwide concept "Law and Order."

Railway workers, together with transport police officers, conduct safety lessons, demonstrate thematic videos, and analyze real-life cases.

In Astana, explanatory talks were held in six schools located near railway tracks, with 435 students participating. Since the beginning of the year, the capital's railway workers have visited 13 educational institutions, reaching 915 children.

Special attention is drawn to the danger of approaching the overhead contact network. To receive an electric shock, it is not necessary to touch the wire. Therefore, it is strictly forbidden to be on the roofs of train cars.

Preventive measures are also underway in the regions. Employees of the firing teams from Sekseul, Kazaly, Kyzylorda, and Shieli stations of the Turkestan branch of "VZHDO" LLP delivered lectures titled "The Railway is a High-Danger Zone" at school No. 282 in the Akmarjan microdistrict and school No. 189 in the Belkul settlement. The schoolchildren were educated on the dangers of being on the railway.

In Uralsk, railway workers, together with the transport police department, held a meeting at school No. 45. More than 100 students from the 8th and 9th grades took part in it. The safety requirements violations and corresponding responsibilities were explained to the students. At the end of the meeting, informational leaflets were distributed to the children.

In Almaty, employees of the Almaty Track Distance and officers of the linear police department held a meeting at school No. 49 in the Turksib district. The event was attended by more than 150 students from the 7th to 11th grades.
