Zaporizhstal provided a batch of protective goggles-masks to rescuers from Zaporizhzhia

Zaporizhstal Iron and Steel Works handed over 100 protective goggles-masks to employees of the 4th State fire and rescue squad of the State Emergency Service of Ukraine (SES) in the Zaporizhia region. This is stated in the Metinvest.Media’s press release.

The rescuers were provided with ballistic masks of the Pyramex V2G-XP brand, which have a thermal package and the ability to install diopters.

“Helping rescuers today is extremely important, because their work is our safety. Therefore, on the professional holiday of rescuers, the plant purchased and handed over protective glasses for a total amount of over UAH 50.000, so that our defenders would be safer while performing their difficult work,” noted Oleksiy Shkarupa, the head of labor protection, industrial safety and ecology of Zaporizhstal.

As GMK Center reported earlier, Zaporizhstal handed over a large batch of medicines to the local military hospital – approximately 18,000 units for a total amount of over 525,000 UAH. According to the Zaporizhstal’s CEO Oleksandr Myronenko, the list was determined according to the needs of the medical institution.

Also an enterprise actively helps the fighters at the front. At the beginning of September, National Guard servicemen received another batch of 1.5 thousand bulletproof vests.

Zaporizhzhia Metinvest’s enterprises have handed over 23,000 bulletproof vests to units of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the State Emergency Service, the State Security Service, as well as to units of the National Police.
