"Protecting the occupational health of workers in the chrysotile
industry is a key objective of the trade union movement. By
implementing the controlled use of chrysotile asbestos, new
technologies and organisational solutions, we can dramatically
improve the living standards of workers and, as a result, the
efficiency of the industry as a whole. We strongly disagree with the
opinion that chrysotile asbestos can pose a threat to health and
should be banned. With our work, our decades of experience, we
believe that chrysotile asbestos can and should be widely used in
many industries. By participating in such events, we seek to
convince our partners and colleagues that controlled use of this
mineral is absolutely safe," said Andrey Kholzakov, the Chairman of
the International Trade Union Alliance for Chrysotile.

The conference was attended by representatives of the chrysotile
industry in Kazakhstan, Russia, Belarus, and other countries.
Speakers presented reports on the activities of their companies, new
methods of organising production, the introduction of new
technologies, and the principles of controlled use of chrysotile. The
conference also included presentations by scientists, trade union
leaders, and health care professionals who discussed existing and
future methods to protect the occupational health of workers in the
chrysotile industry.
