Do you know that…<br />
In 2013 four major sources of noise in our company (chimneys at Sinter plant South) are<br />
quipped with noise silencers? The guaranteed efficiency of each silencer was proved which means<br />
that the level of noise coming out of each chimney has been reduced by 15 dB. Besides significant<br />
reduction in noise pollution at the immediate vicinity of Sinter plant south this measure also had an<br />
impact on reduction in noise burden in the surrounding of <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava. Our company<br />
plans to continue with reduction in noises coming from its operations through implementation of<br />
anti-noise barriers at the existing assets. Regarding new assets their influence on the total noise<br />
situation in the surrounding is being reviewed as part of the project preparation. Such solutions are<br />
proposed so that the new devices do not raise the noise burden in the vicinity of our mill.<br />
Over one million crowns paid for innovations<br />
The number of innovations has risen as well as the total money spent on rewards our company<br />
paid you for your proposals. Just for the innovative suggestions we paid you CZK 1, 162, 892 (by<br />
12,5 % more than in 2012) and the highest reward for a single innovation amounted to 116 147<br />
CZK.<br />
The most innovative plant was Steel shop which surpassed Rolling mill (106 ideas) with 110<br />
ideas. The support of Maintenance is not also indispensable (96 ideas). In <strong>2014</strong> we are preparing<br />
new way of improvement. It will be called minor improvement and thanks to that you will be able<br />
to get a reward up to “10 000 CZK.”<br />
our company offers to primarily to technical university graduates. By attractive presentation which<br />
was combined with frequent questions addressing students COO tried to motivate present<br />
students to cooperate with <strong>ArcelorMittal</strong> Ostrava. He introduced them the paid internship<br />
programme within which they can get hands-on experience and skills during their studies and<br />
afterwards find a better job. Company’s representatives also spoke about a special programme for<br />
graduates so called “Trainee pool”.<br />

Visitors could see a counterpart of classic Christmas divine service but which was<br />
drawing on the same values.<br />
„It was fascinating for me to connect the world of traditional old Czech Three magi plays with<br />
the rhythm of pulsing gospel. Our goal is not to separate these two elements from each other but<br />
to point out to the fact that the faith is only one and it does not matter on which part of the globe<br />
Jesus’ birth is celebrated,” said director of the performance Dagmar Hlubková.<br />
250 viewers came to see this performance which was held at the multigenre center of Cooltour.<br />

We are there where something is going on…<br />
How to build a bridge out of skewers and threads so that it consumes as little material as<br />
possible while maintaining maximum load capacity? Such was a task which students of technical<br />
secondary schools tried to solve within the Bridge Builder Contest funded by our company.<br />
The object of the competition was not only to make the technical programs more attractive but<br />
to give secondary students a chance to put their practical skills at test. The contest was divided<br />
into two categories. In A category students were building a bridge model at their school and<br />
brought it to be displayed at Ostrava Technical University on the competition day. In category B<br />
students build the model right on the University premises.<br />
The contest was held on Dec 2, 2013 at Ostrava Technical University and more than 100<br />
competitors out of eight different secondary schools of Moravian-Silesian region took part in it.<br />
