The regional branch, using its own funds, was the first in the region to acquire a unique self-propelled articulated boom lift, which allows work at heights of up to 22 m without damaging the floor covering, as the unit moves on rubber tracks. The equipment is intended for the maintenance, cleaning, and repair of the reconstructed railway station complex in Vitebsk, both internally and externally. The use of transport lifts at the station is limited by the architectural and technical features of the building.

According to him, this year the number of workplace injuries in these sectors in the region has significantly increased. For example, as of October 31, 2012, 8 fatal accidents were registered in housing and communal services organizations, which is 6 more cases compared to the same period in 2011.
