Proposals for marking escape routes in coal mines
Abstract: The chapter presents the sources of fire danger in the mines and the requirements of mining regulations regarding to the escape routes in mines. Present state of escape route markings is represented. The main part of the article is to provide proposed by the authors ways of marking escape routes. The authors propose the application of reflective signs and so-called " life safety rope". The life safety rope consist of suspension cable and fasten markers. Life safety rope simplify crossing by escape routes, even in conditions of total lack of visibility. The study demonstrates that the average transition speed in conditions of total lack of visibility, is about 39 m/min, it is even slightly higher than the average speed in terms of smoky average, used to calculate times of transition the escape routes.
Keywords: coal mines, the risk of fire, escape routes, transition speed |

Economic and environmental benefits resulting from the changes of standards for the values of heat transfer coefficients in buildings
Abstract: Final energy consumption in the residential sector in Poland in relation to final energy consumption in all sectors of the economy stands at about 30%. The thermal insulation of building walls, constructed in order to reduce the energy demand of buildings for heating is economically justified. Hence the amendment of legislation in reducing the heat transfer coefficient of various elements of the building is most desired. The paper examined the economic and environmental benefits arising from changes in the value of heat transfer coefficient in the legislation. Normative values of this coefficient to be implemented in 2017 are justified economically and ecologically in Polish conditions. The payback periods of economic costs related to larger thicknesses of thermal insulation (from the requirements for 2014 to the requirements since 2017) emerge within 2-8 years, and environmental costs in the range of 1-5 years, depending on the heat source used in the building.
Keywords: thermal insulation of building walls, economic and environmental benefits, life cycle assessment |

Capabilities and limitations of decreasing mercury load in polish bituminous coal in the production process
Abstract: Mercury is one of the most toxic elements contained in bituminous coal. Poland is considered to be the biggest Hg emitter of European Union because of significant carbonization of its economy. It is possible to greatly decrease the mercury load in the production processes of hard coal. Poland’s problem is the large share of raw coals use in power engineering. The Hg content in raw coal remains unchanged. Increasing the range of coal enrichment in polish collieries is feasible but difficult because of current market situation. The reduction of Hg content in bituminous coal could be possible by addition of product of larger granulation to average the fuel quality. However these coals are traditionally used for household heating.

Keizen system implementation in an automotive company – case study
Abstract: In the 21st century one cannot avoid combining the modern model of production management with the philosophy of continuous improvement. This is particularly visible in the automotive branch. The automotive market is characterized by very high dynamics, constantly increasing requirements from customers as well as requirements resulting from the changing (stricter) legal regulations: fumes emission standard, safety level, restrictions in the use of various kinds of materials etc. To meet the demands and ensure their enterprises’ competitiveness on the market, producers are introducing modern, proven methods of management and organisation. They willingly base their activity on Lean Management principles. The major tools (co-dependent and mutually supportive) of this method include: VSM, 5S, TPM, SMED. However, transferring Japanese management systems into European conditions alone does not guarantee success. This results from the fact that Far Eastern concepts originate from the culture-bound Keizen philosophy, which is based on team work. The major pillar of the Keizen philosophy is engagement of all the employees in the improvement process, which contradicts lower-level employees’ individualism, so deeply rooted in Western culture. The strength of Keizen lies in the fact that while using the existing tools, the developed technology as well as the knowledge and experience of employees, it does not require high expenditures, changing an enterprise on a step-by-step basis. This gives a considerable advantage over the Western approach, mainly based on innovative, expensive activities, which require the engagement of specialists and lead to big, rapid changes. In the article a manner of implementing in an automotive company have been presented.

The perspectives of post mining terrains reclamation in the city of Bohumin – case study
Abstract: The process of land reclamation reaches many industrial wasteland. However, the surface of post-mining land requires a lot of activities and budgets to level any remaining of the old infrastructure located in this area. The Upper Silesia region, covering both areas on the Polish and Czech side, is known to be principal region, where the underground coal mining process is running. As a result of mining activities, land-mine and area lying near to the mine begin to transform. Therefore landscape area is changing and there are various kinds of destruction of land, residential buildings and roads. The actions related to the restoration of the utility value of degraded areas should consistently carried out, looking primarily from the inhabitants of surrounding area point of view. The excavated area of reclamation and its proper management, in the future can bring huge benefits for the city and its inhabitants.

Implementation of life cycle assessment in case of determining the external costs in conventional combined heat and power plant functioning in Poland - case study
Abstract: Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a technique used in many areas of the economy. LCA methodology is based on the ISO 14040 series and is used in the SimaPro 7.3 software. The article presents another possibility of use SimaPro, as an indicator of external and environ-mental costs in case of the functioning plant in Poland (which complements the program Ex-ternE - External Electricity Costs). The energy industry is largely responsible for global air pollution, but also affects other ecosystems. The article presents a comparative assessment of (using the Eco-indicator method 99 of SimaPro program) production of energy from conventional combustion of solid fuels (coal and gas). More over the differences in the environmental impact of selected Polish power plants are noted and the causes of differences and their impact on external costs are also discussed.
