“Despite all the difficulties caused by the coronavirus pandemic and its negative impact on the global economy, in 2020 we managed to continue social support for the company’s employees and their families and provide charitable assistance to those in need in the regions of the company’s presence.I consider the increase in wages in the main working professions in this difficult year especially important, since during the difficult epidemiological situation in the country and the world, thanks to the work of miners, continuous coal mining and timely shipment of fuel to consumers were carried out. The result of this work was the provision of energy security, including many socially significant facilities, in 60 regions of the Russian Federation, “said Stanislav Grachev, General Director of Russian Coal.

For employees of all Russian Coal enterprises in the Amur Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory, Khakassia and Moscow, mass laboratory tests for coronavirus infection were organized on a regular basis. Testing of employees is carried out at the expense of the company. In 2020, more than 8,000 laboratory tests for covid-19 were carried out at the enterprises of Russian Coal.

Among the charity projects of Russian Coal in 2020 were support for educational, cultural and sports programs in the regions of the company’s presence, assistance to WWII veterans, rear workers, orphanages, and socially unprotected citizens. Bactericidal irradiators-recirculators for air purification and decontamination, antiseptics and personal protective equipment were donated to Russian Coal educational institutions in all regions of the company’s presence as part of the fight against the spread of coronavirus infection.

In 2020, Russian Coal conducted social programs for employees, including training and advanced training of specialists, material assistance to employees, retirement benefits and others.

The social and charitable policy of the Russian Coal company in the Amur Region, Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia will be continued in 2021.

Brown energy coal in the Amur Region is mined by opencast methods in the Erkovetsky and North-East mines. In December 2020 Amur Coal enterprises recorded the highest level of labor productivity, it amounted to 240.3 tons per person.

The development of reserves of the Raichikhinsky brown coal field of the Amur Region began in 1932, at the same time the Dalvostugol company was founded, the successor of which is Amurugol JSC.

In 1977 the Far Eastern Coal Production Association Dalvostugol produced a record 14 million tons of coal. Then the average monthly labor productivity was kept at 202 tons/person.

In December 2020 the enterprises of Amurugol JSC recorded a highest labor productivity of 240.3 tons/person. For comparison, in December 2019 this figure was 221.5 tons per person, in 2010 – 126.9 tons/person, in 2005 – 99.3 tons/person.

A significant increase in labor productivity was achieved due to the active implementation of the principles of lean production, changes in the planning system, optimization of work processes and other measures to increase the efficiency of production processes.

“The growth of productivity by 18.2% relative to the planned level is of great importance for the conditions for the development of coal reserves in the Amur Region,” said the Amurugol company.

It should be noted that in order to ensure the growth of labor productivity at medium and large enterprises of the basic sectors of the Russian economy, the May decree of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin in 2018 approved the national project “Labor productivity and support for employment.” Within the framework of the national project, a set of measures for state support of business is being implemented, which includes expert assistance in optimizing production processes. The implementation of the national project in the Amur Region is planned for 2022.

At the same time, systematic work to increase operational efficiency at the enterprises of Russian Coal in the Amur Region has been underway for several years. Amurugl employees are active participants in the Lean Production corporate program, thanks to their rationalization proposals, the efficiency of production processes of coal mining enterprises increases.

Amur miners donated medical equipment to help patients with covid-19 to Raichikhinsk hospital.

Miners of the Amurugol company provided social support to the Raichikhinsk coal miners hospital.

The medical facility received special equipment to help patients with coronavirus infection – oxygen concentrators, surgical aspirators, pulse oximeters, medical irradiators-recirculators, bactericidal lamps and other means to combat covid-19.

Amurugol, as a people-centred and city-forming enterprise, could not stand aside in solving the problem of treating and preventing acute respiratory diseases in the city of coal miners Raichikhinsk. Urgently acquired much-needed medical equipment for the city hospital. We hope that it will bring considerable benefit to the residents of the city, “explained Yevgeny Matlauskas, Deputy General Director for Personnel and Social Affairs of Amurugol JSC.

The Amurugol enterprises continue to comply with measures to prevent coronavirus infection – wearing personal protective equipment, observing social distance, regular disinfection of office and industrial premises, transport and equipment. Mandatory pre-shift and post-shift medical examination allows you to quickly assess the state of health of miners before and at the end of work, and the well-being of workers is monitored during the day.

Though to the high readiness regime for countering coronavirus infection, the miners of the Amur Region manage to conduct uninterrupted production of energy coal, thereby ensuring the energy security of the Amur Region. Timely shipment of coal is especially important during the heating season. The Blagoveshchenskaya CHPP and Raichikhinskaya TPP work on Amur brown coal, and fuel is also shipped to the regional housing and communal services sector.

The team of walking excavator ESH 15/90 No. 14 foreman Aurel Kostin on the coal mine of the North-East Amur Region for the second time became the best in the interregional production competition organized by Russian Coal among 60 brigades of various excavators of 6 coal mining enterprises in Siberia and the Far East.

According to the results of 2020, the miners of the Amur Region not only showed higher production results than their colleagues from the Krasnoyarsk Territory and Khakassia, working on excavators with a ladle capacity of 15 m ³ inclusive, but also observed labor and production discipline, industrial safety and labor protection requirements.

As a reward for the best production performance, the ESh 15/90 team No. 14 of the North-East section received a new domestic crossover car and cash prizes from the Russian Coal company.

The North-East section processes the reserves of the Raichikhinsky brown coal field and is located near the city of Raichikhinsky. The peculiarity of the coal mining enterprise is the non-transport development system used here. Mined coal is shipped from the face directly to gondola cars.

In 2020, miners of the North-East section exceeded the production plan for the extraction of energy coal by 106.6 percent.

Amur coal ensures the energy security of the Amur region. Blagoveshchenskaya CHPP and Raichikhinskaya TPP work at it. In the next 3 years, they will receive more than 8 million tons of solid fuel produced at the mines of the Amur Region. Also, Amur coal is shipped to the needs of the housing and communal services of the region.

Due to the fact that the production facilities are located near the generators, the supply of local brown coal has high economic efficiency for the region. The cost of Amur solid fuel is much lower than long-range coal, since the cost of its logistics is minimal.

New crossover cars and cash rewards were awarded to 3 teams of miners of the Krasnoyarsk Territory, drivers of excavators of the Pereyaslovsky and Sayano-Partizansky sections of the Russian Coal company, for achieving high production results in 2020. Krasnoyarsk coal miners became the best among 60 brigades of various types of excavators of 6 coal mines in Siberia and the Russian Far East in 3 of 6 nominations of the production competition held at the Russian Coal enterprises throughout 2020.

Every month, the production results of all teams participating in the competition were recorded by a special committee. The winners not only muned the most tons of coal and cubic meters of rock mass to the mountain, but also observed labor and production discipline, industrial safety requirements.

The team of the walking excavator ESH 10/70 No. 365 of the Pereyaslovsky section of the foreman Andrei Kalashnikov became the winner of the production competition of “Russian Coal” for the third time.

The second time the championship palm went to the team of an electric quarry caterpillar excavator EKG-5А No. 4, foreman Yuri Ganichev, who also produces fuel on the Pereyaslovsky section.

In 2021, on the Pereyaslovsky section, which processes the reserves of the Pereyaslovsky brown coal field, a 95-million ton of coal will be produced from the moment the mine is put into operation in 1983. The enterprise produces brown BR-grade energy coal, which is shipped to Russian and foreign consumers. Pereyaslovsky coal goes to the needs of generating companies – CHP and GRES, large utilities enterprises, and is also burned in small boiler houses. This fuel has one of the highest calorie rates among all brown coals on the mainland of the Russian Federation. In the reserves of the Pereyaslovsky mine – about 260 million tons of coal.

In the production competition of the Russian Coal company, the Komatsu PC-400 No. 6 hydraulic tracked excavator team of the Sayano-Partizansky section also won.
