Press Release

Two of the six workers injured in yesterday's accident at the Przyjaźń Coking Plant in Dąbrowa Górnicza have already been discharged from the hospital. The condition of the others is stable, although one of the injured is in a pharmacological coma.

Of the six people injured in the explosion, three were employees of the Przyjaźń Coking Plant, while the rest were employed by external companies. 

A crisis management team has been set up at JSW KOKS S.A., which owns the Dąbrowa coking plant, headed by Mariusz Soszyński, the company's Vice-President of the Management Board for Production and Technology. The team is tasked with coordinating all the work related to the 22 September accident. A special committee will also be appointed to determine the causes of the incident. The committee will be composed of JSW KOKS S.A. specialists and external experts.

In addition to ongoing efforts to learn the causes of the explosion, the plant is also working uninterruptedly to rebuild and restore the nominal coke production capacity. Currently, the Przyjaźń Coking Plant maintains a reduced production level adequate to the ability to secure the required coal blend. It should be noted that, in addition to the Przyjaźń Coking Plant, the JSW KOKS S.A. structures include the Radlin Coking Plant and the Jadwiga Coking Plant, which are working without interruptions and whose production potential will be used to a greater extent. The JSW Group also has coke reserves accumulated both at Polish seaports and at other external storage yards, which will be used along with the increased production at the aforementioned coking plants to meet the current contractual obligations. 

More information will be published, as it becomes available, on the company's website www.jswkoks.pl.
