This is stated in a press release on the results of the activities of the State Supervision Service for Safety in Industry and Mining Supervision under the Government of the Republic of Tajikistan for January–June 2026.
According to the agency, the main causes of accidents at industrial and mining facilities were failure to comply with industrial safety requirements and violations of technological processes.
The Service also noted the improper performance of duties by engineering and technical personnel at the enterprises. Another factor affecting industrial safety remains the shortage of qualified specialists in the industry.
