The municipal enterprise “Mykolaivvodokanal” has completed an internal investigation into the discovery of jerrycans containing a liquid resembling diesel fuel on the premises of one of the pumping stations of the third lift water supply and determined that the fuel belonged to an employee, not to the company.
The results of the inspection were reported on the company’s official social media page.
The investigation was prompted by the discovery of 3 jerrycans on the premises of the pumping station of the third lift, one of which contained diesel fuel.
The inspection established that the found containers and fuel were not on the company’s inventory, and their owner turned out to be one of the employees of “Mykolaivvodokanal”.
Specialists did not find evidence of appropriation, embezzlement, or illegal draining of fuel accounted for by the company; however, the employee’s actions were classified as a gross violation of fire and technological safety requirements.
The administration emphasized that storing containers from lubricants and flammable substances in an unsuitable room created a real risk of ignition and could have caused damage to the property of a strategically important facility.
Following the investigation, steps have been initiated to bring the guilty parties to disciplinary responsibility; heads of structural units were instructed to eliminate the identified violations and strengthen control over compliance with internal rules, and unscheduled briefings on fire safety and the rules for storing lubricants and fuels have been planned.
At the same time, the administration reminded that failure to comply with fire safety requirements poses a serious threat both to employees and to the stable functioning of critical infrastructure facilities.
