Formula of Success                                                                                                                         The series of professional mastership competitions annually held in the coal mining company - Bogatyr Coal LLP - on the eve of Miner's Day continued last week. The drivers from Technological Transport Department took part in it.  

The competition participants were congratulated on the forthcoming Miner's Day by Chief Engineer of the Department Maksim Solokha and Acting Chairman of the Trade Union Committee Yelizaveta Maininger. Traditionally the competition was opened with the examination in theory. Each of 12 participants was given questions in technical arrangement of vehicles and industrial safety and labor protection rules. The competition commission considered both a number of right answers, and the time spent. The competitors with a highest score received the right to participate in the practical part of the contest. As a result, nine specialists came through to the final.                                                                                                           The first to compete were the operators of CAT-777D large trucks. According to the competition conditions the participants had to demonstrate their large truck driving skills. The passed competition proved one more time that in Bogatyr Coal LLP aces worked. Then their task was fulfilled by the second triple of competitors on a BelAZ-75131 large truck. By the amount of the scores gained for two competition stages the medal and cup of a winner, first grade diploma, monetary bonus, and souvenir went to Nikolay Mikhnev (CAT-777D Operator), and Vitaliy Kobylchenko (BelAZ-75131 Operator). The other competition participants also received some prizes and souvenirs. The second place went to Aleksandr Chezhegov (CAT-777D Operator), and Aidar Kapezov (BelAZ-75131 Operator). The third place went to Kairat Termirzhanov (CAT-777D Operator), and Nurgali Shaizadinov (BelAZ-75131 Operator).                               The practical part of the competition was a little bit different for CAT-16H motor grader operators. It was very demonstrative, as a whole. The final triple among them was Viktor Maltsev (the 1-st place), Nurlan Yeszhanov (he 2-nd place), and Andrey Kolosov (the 3-rd place).
