Metalworkers of twelve enterprises of the Polar Branch of Norilsk Nickel demonstrated theoretical and practical skills at the professional skills competition that was a part of the "Academy of Mentors" corporate project.
The participants of the competition for the title of "The best mentor by profession – a metalworker for maintenance and repair of equipment" showed their knowledge of the theory during testing - they had to answer 30 questions with multiple answers in 30 minutes, the press service of Norilsk Nickel reported.
The contestants demonstrated a developed eye, good motor skills and intuition during the "blind" test. When blindfolded, they had to distinguish keys of different modifications, bolts and nuts, guess the diameter, length, thread pitch and name the scope of application.
"The jury was not disappointed, all the contestants coped with this difficult task. It's great that our craftsmen can even determine by touch what they have to work with," said Artem Muravyev, senior master of industrial training at Norilsk Nickel Corporate University, a member of the competition commission.
As part of the second task, the contestants had to assemble and disassemble an intermediate gimbal of underground self-propelled equipment in 15 minutes. The jury evaluated the speed, order and accuracy of actions, the correctness of the choice of tools.
In addition, the participants demonstrated knowledge of cardinal safety rules and the procedure for detecting an injured person at work.
Vasily Polyanskikh, an employee of the Oktyabrsky mine, took the first place in the competition, Viktor Bochkovsky, a specialist of Norilskgazprom, took the second place, and Sergey Chepurnoy, an employee of the Polar Construction Company, took the third place.
