The article presents dangerous events in opencast mines in the years 2012-2022, in particular cases of finding unexploded ordnance from the 1st (ZEK „Bobrowniki") and the 2nd World War („Kotlarnia" Sand Mine). In order to eliminate this threat, the mining supervision authority has developed the following actions, which as „good practice" should permanently become part of the canon of conduct of every mining entrepreneur: (1) Analysis of the history of the mining area in aspect warfare; (2) Preparation an of safe work instructions in case of finding unexploded ordnance; (3) Application of procedures ensuring the safety of employes and bystanders, i.e.: (i) suspension of further work in the threated area; (ii) warning the people working nearby; (iii) retreat to a safe distance (including machines if possible); (iv) securing access to threated area; (v) supervising (from the safe distance) the threated area until the arrival of Police/sappers; (vi) elimination of the threat by specialized services; (4) Elimination of future threats, i.e. sapper reconnaissance and clearing the area of identified explosives and dangerous objects.
