RADIATION PROTECTION
Badrakh Energy’s radiation protection measures make it possible to limit the exposure of its teams, its subcontractors and local populations to radiation.
The company’s work in this area is based on the national and international recommendations governing exposure limits for people, both in the case of radioactivity from industrial activities and natural radioactivity.
COLLECTIVE AGREEMENT
The Human Resources Policy of Badrakh Energy is grounded in the principles of discussion and consultation between parties, in compliance with current regulations. Ensuring responsible and effective dialogue is vital for the proper conduct of business for the company.
Following the responsible principles of its major shareholder, Badrakh Energy has entered into a collective agreement with elected employee representatives, serving on a two-year basis.
This collective agreement is formally registered at the district administration office, in accordance with Mongolian labor laws. Its implementation is closely monitored through cooperation between the company and employee representatives. A team of five employee representatives engage in negotiations and agreements with the management to advocate for employees’ interests in the company’s policies and decisions. The collective agreement was renewed in November 2022. The company management and employee representatives meet on a quarterly basis.
