Employees of Russian Coal enterprises in the Amur Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khakassia and Moscow have completed a professional development program “Ensuring environmental safety by managers and specialists of general economic management systems”.
During the training programs, qualified experts in the field of industrial ecology introduced students to new norms of environmental legislation, systems for assessing the impact of industrial enterprises on the environment, the mechanism of state environmental expertise, requirements for the protection and use of water bodies, as well as in the field of atmospheric air protection and waste management. Special attention was paid to the study of modern principles of the organization of industrial environmental control and the effective organization of the work of the environmental service of the enterprise.
The acquired knowledge on industrial ecology and ensuring environmental safety in production will be used in practice – in the production processes of Russian Coal enterprises.
Tatiana Kozlova, Chief ecologist of JSC “Krasnoyarsk Krayugol”, tells: “Working as an ecologist at JSC “Krasnoyarsk Krayugol” since 2005, I have repeatedly been trained in the field of environmental protection. But they were mainly aimed at covering some one topic.
The training organized by JSC “Russian Coal” and conducted by the Legal Center for Industrial Ecology, in connection with significant changes in environmental legislation, is distinguished by the fact that it covered a wide range of current environmental issues.
The presentation of the material by the lecturers was professional, concise and specific. As part of the training, I received answers to all my questions. I was also pleased that a wide audience was involved in the training, including the heads of organizations that are responsible for decision-making at enterprises.
The presence of trained personnel in the field of environmental safety helps to reduce environmental risks for the enterprise, leads to understanding and interaction in solving tasks in the field of environmental protection.”
“Rational use of natural resources in any enterprise begins with people. Only possession of the necessary set of relevant regulatory and practical skills allows you to establish the chain of interaction from the level of decision-making to their direct execution as efficiently as possible. It is important to react and adapt to the ongoing regulatory changes and innovations in a timely manner. Qualitatively and consciously approach the transformation of ESG (Environmental, Social and Corporate Governance), the transition to the principles of BAT (the best available technologies) and comprehensive environmental responsibility, including at the facilities of the coal mining industry,”- said Alexey Shpitsman, Chief Specialist of the environmental audit Sector of Russian Coal JSC.
Environmentally responsible production management is a priority of the Russian Coal Company. A complex of environmental protection measures is carried out at all enterprises of the company. These include regular stocking of reservoirs, monitoring of atmospheric air, recultivation and restoration of forests, measurements at the border of the sanitary protection zone of enterprises, monitoring of underground and surface waters, as well as soil and snow cover, participation in regional and federal environmental actions and others.
In 2021, the company invested 500 million rubles in the construction of high-tech treatment facilities for multi-stage treatment of quarry waters at the Kirbinsky section in Khakassia. To preserve biological diversity, the company also finances the creation and development of the Koibal Steppe Lakes Reserve in the region.
