About JGSPC

JG Summit Petrochemical Corporation (JGSPC) is the largest manufacturer of

polyolefins in the Philippines, with current rated production capacities of 320,000 metric tons per
annum (MTA) for polyethylene (PE) and 190,000 MTA of polypropylene (PP). JGSPC uses
UNIPOLTM polymer production technology, known for its safety, operational stability, cost-
effectiveness and versatility.
 JG Summit Petrochemical Corporation was incorporated in 1994 as a joint venture
between JG Summit Holdings, Inc. and Marubeni Corporation. The company was given pioneer
status by the Board of Investments in the same year. Construction of the JGSPC Plant began in
1995. Upon its completion, it had rated capacities of 200 KTA for PE and 180 KTA for PP.
Commercial operations commenced in March 1998.

Operational since August 1998, JGSPC markets its world-class quality PE and PP resins
under the brand name EVALENETM. EVALENETM is a dominant player in the local resins
market, and is also distributed in more than 30 countries all over the world.

In 2006, JGSPC became a wholly owned subsidiary of JG Summit Holdings, Inc. Plans
were then drawn out for the Philippines’ first Naphtha Cracker Plant (NCP) and simultaneous
expansion of the Polymers Plant. The NCP was constructed from 2011 to 2014, while PE and PP
expansion works were undergone in 2012 to 2014. Commercial operation of the newly expanded
JG Summit Petrochemicals Group started in November 2014 with increased polymer production
capacities of 320 KTA for PE and 190 KTA for PP.

High Density Polyethylene (HDPE)

Linear Low Density Polyethylene(LLDPE)
Homo polymer Polypropylene(PP-H)
Random Copolymer Polypropylene (PP-R)

About JGSOC

JG Summit Olefins Corporation was established to eliminate JG Summit Petrochemical

Corporation’s need to import ethylene and propylene which are raw materials in the manufacture
of EVALENE® High Density Polyethylene (HDPE), Linear Low Density Polyethylene
(LLDPE), Homopolymer Polypropylene (PP-H) and Random Copolymer Polypropylene (PP-R)
resins.
 JG Summit Olefins Corporation (JGSOC) operates the first and only naphtha cracker
plant in the country. It uses LummusTM Olefins Conversion Technology in manufacturing
320,000 MTA of polymer-grade ethylene and 190,000 MTA of polymer-grade propylene, which
are used as feedstock by the downstream polymer plants operated by JGSPC. The cracker’s
products also include pygas and mixed C4, which in turn are raw materials used to manufacture
intermediate chemicals such as benzene, toluene, mixed xylenes and butadiene.

JGSOC was incorporated in 2008. Engineering works for the naphtha cracker started in 2009. In
2010, JGSOC was registered with the Board of Investments as a producer of ethylene, propylene,
pyrolysis gasoline, mixed C4 and other by-products. Commercial operations commenced in
November 2014.

Since the start of the cracker’s commercial operations in November 2014, JGSPC’s
olefins requirements, rather than being imported, have now been primarily supplied by JGSOC.
This ensures supply stability and competitiveness of JGSPC’s PE and PP resins, which are
widely used not only by the domestic plastics industry but also by other plastic products
manufacturers worldwide.

Both JGSPC and JGSOC operate under strict adherence to quality, safety and
environmental management systems certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015 and OHSAS
18001: 2007 standards.

Expansion Project

Currently ongoing is JGSPG’s expansion project for the petrochemical complex, which
shall increase existing capacities as well as provide for new production units, as follows:
- Increase in capacity for the existing naphtha cracker plant, to 480,000 MTA as ethylene and
240,000 MTA as propylene;
- Increase in capacity for the existing PP plant, to 300,000 MTA;
- A new butadiene extraction unit, to produce 70,000 MTA butadiene and 89,000 MTA
raffinate1;
 - A new aromatics extraction unit, to produce 126,000 MTA of benzene, 76,000 MTA of toluene
and 46,000 MTA of mixed xylenes; and
- A new bimodal PE plant using Chevron Phillip’s MarTECH™ loop slurry polymerization
technology.

In 2019, construction will already be in full swing for all the new and expanded units, with
commercial operations for the expanded complex targeted to commence by 2020.

The expansion project, with its additional volumes and new downstream value-added
products, is a step towards product diversification of the Philippine petrochemical industry, and
aims to strengthen further the industrial value chain for the various domestic manufacturing
sectors.

Naphtha Cracker Plant

JGSOC’s $700 million Naphtha Cracker Plant uses Lummus Technology (a CB&I
company) which is one of the more widely applied processes for the production of polymer-
grade ethylene and propylene. This plant is designed to produce 320 KTA of ethylene and 190
KTA of propylene.

Features of JGSOC’s ethylene process as adopted from Lummus Technology are:

 Use of Short Residence Time (SRT) pyrolysis furnace for high olefins yield, high thermal
efficiency, long run-length, feed flexibility
 Quick Quencher Transfer Line Exchanger (TLE) for low pressure drop and short residence time
resulting in minimum yield degradation
 TLE decoking technology for reduced maintenance, longer tube life and less emissions
 Low pressure chilling train for energy efficiency and lower investment cost
 Hydrogenation process for acetylene/diene towards higher selectivity, minimization of green oil
production and reduction of energy consumption
 Tertiary refrigeration that results in lower investment cost, enhanced reliability and simplified
maintenance.

Polymers Plant

Commissioned in 1998, JGSSPC’s Polymer Plant was constructed in a 27.9-hectare lot

by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries as turnkey contractor and with EEi, DMCI and Cape East as
subcontractors. The Group initially invested $350 million to build the Polymer Plants. Another
$100 million were spent for its expansion which was completed in 2014.

The JGSPC Plant has the following facilities:

 Two reactors for Polyethylene with 320 KTA combined capacity
 One reactor for Polypropylene with 190 KTA per annum capacity
 Central Control Room with Distributed Control System (DCS) Technology by Honeywell-
Yamatake
 Tank Farm with cryogenic and ambient storage tanks and Flare Facilities
 Laboratory with state-of-the-art instruments for Quality Control, Quality Assurance, Product
Applications and Technical Services
 Closed-loop Cooling Water System, with heat exchange to sea water
 Jetty that can accommodate 54,000 DWT vessels
 Three-hectare covered warehouse for storing up to 37,000 tons of packaged products. It includes
a packaging facility for loading products into 25kg, 750kg, and 1,000kg bags, as well as in-house
heavy duty bag-making equipment.
 Modern safety equipment and fire prevention facilities situated in accessible locations all over
the plant to ensure the safety of employees and surrounding communities.
Process Overview/ Technology

JGSPC’s polyolefin manufacturing processes are based on UNIPOL™ PE Process and

UNIPOL™ PP Process Technology, known for its safety, environment-friendliness, simplicity,
operational stability, cost-effectiveness and versatility. UNIPOL™’s relatively low pressures and
low temperatures eliminate over-pressurization and runaway reactions, making it one of the
safest PE and PP polymerization technologies available today. This gas phase process is also the
cleanest in its class due to the absence of liquid and solid effluents emitted to the environment.
Today, The Dow Chemical Company’s fully owned Univation Technologies is the licensor for
UNIPOL™ PE Process, while W.R. Grace & Co. is the licensor for UNIPOL™ PP Process
Technology. The licensing agreements with these companies are characterized by continuous
liaison, extensive documentation, complete training and technical assistance, which ensure the
continuous improvement of the Plant and our personnel.

WHAT IS PETROCHEMICALS?

Petrochemicals, derived from the cracking of crude oil or natural gas, have been a part of the
manufacturing industry since the 19th century. They were first incorporated into manufacturing
as a cheap substitute for natural products.
Used in everything from medication to plastics, while petrochemicals are generally safe as their
finished products, in their raw form they can be highly toxic and acidic and must be handled with
care. Major petrochemicals include acetylene, benzene, ethane, ethylene, methane, propane and
hydrogen. From these, hundreds of other chemicals are derived. These derivatives are used as
elastomers, fibres, plasticisers and solvents, and as feedstock for the production of thousands of
other products.

HAZARDS
It is apparent that toxic chemicals in the petrochemical industry have resulted in health impacts,
occupational diseases and unhealthy working environments. Based on numerous risk and
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies carried out by various professionals and
organisations, it has become apparent that the petrochemical industry exposes personnel and
surrounding communities to numerous health, safety and environmental hazards. These hazards
are mainly due to the toxic chemical products and associated obnoxious gas fumes, which
include sulphur oxide, nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, volatile organic compounds, fugitive
hydrocarbons and dust.

For decades, air toxins have been associated with both short term and long term adverse health
effects. Known organ systems impacted include the cardiovascular, respiratory, reproductive and
nervous systems. Long term health effects can include increased risk of mortality, lung cancer,
chronic respiratory disease and heart disease, as well as damage to the liver and potentially the
kidneys. Persons are exposed to toxic chemicals in the air of their communities, homes and
workplaces. Exposures tend to be greatest in workplaces where toxic chemicals are used and
leaks or contaminated work spaces can occur.

II. Safety Programs

Accidents come in all shape and sizes. There are also all sorts of accident causal factors.
Safety programs must therefore be properly identified, developed, reviewed, implemented and
evaluated to get optimum results.

List of Safety Management Programs

1. Training-teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge that relate
to specific useful competencies. As all companies should have __ implement this safety
management in order to prevent unnecessary scenarios in the future. Training were as Job
training, Awareness Training and Preparedness training are being conducted in the said
 company in order to have their people or workers trained, whatever may happen they will
know what to do. They also have combat trainings to their drivers and security guards.
2. Inspection- careful examination or scrutiny. In order for them to find potential hazards,
they include inspection specially on workplaces on their Job Hazard Analysis.
3. Hazard analysis- process of recognizing hazards that may arise from a system or its
environment, documenting their unwanted consequences and analyzing their potential
causes. Inspection is their key on conducting the said Safety Program.
4. Safe Operating Procedures -written document that provides step-by-step instructions on
how to safely perform a task or activity which involves some risk to health and safety.
This Safety Management Program is being thought in their trainings in order for them to
be well prepared.
5. Work Permit System-refers to management systems used to ensure that work is done
safely and efficiently. These are used in hazardous industries and involve procedures to
request, review, authorize, document and most importantly, de-conflict tasks to be carried
out by front line workers. In order for them to feel even more relief they implement this
Safety Program so that they can be sure who or who not to entrust the job, especially on
their HR management.
6. Safety Report and Records- any information, which can be used to support a safety claim
and demonstrate the degree of acceptability of the safety performance of the services
provided by an organization. Safety records are to be created and maintained throughout
the SMS operation. In order to prevent potential hazards in the future or prevent accidents
from happening again they keep reports and records.
7. Equipment Integrity- management of critical process equipment to ensure it is designed
and installed correctly, and that it operates and is maintained properly. The company
makes sure that all their equipment’s all elements are fit for service.
8. Environmental Protection- practice of protecting the natural environment by individuals,
organizations and governments. Its objectives are to conserve natural resources and the
existing natural environment and, where possible, to repair damage and reverse trends.
They make sure that they are as ecofriendly as possible.
9. Public Safety- function of governments which ensures the protection of citizens, persons
in their territory, organizations, and institutions against threats to their well-being – and
 to the prosperity of their communities. Not only do they ensure the safety of their
workers, they also ensure the safety of the community.
10. Emergency Preparedness- Included in their Training Safety Program, they teach their
people how to be prepared in case of emergency or unwanted scenarios.
11. Programs Evaluation- systematic method for collecting, analyzing, and using information
to answer questions about projects, policies and programs, particularly about their
effectiveness and efficiency.
12. Safety Compliance Audit- It is recommended that a team be established to conduct safety
audit. Each team should be comprised of at least three to five people representing a
variety of departments. To ensure neutrality and objectivity, it is suggested that team
members should not audit their own department. Audits may also be conducted by
qualified consultants. Audit Team members should review all existing safety program
material in advance of the safety audit.
Safety Audits are conducted for the purpose of health, safety, and fire hazard
identification. During these surveys, assessments are made for compliance to applicable
regulations and fire codes as well as the detection of unsafe hazards.
Audits also provide an evaluation of workplace compliance to Occupational Safety and
Health Administration (OSHA) standards relating workplace and worker safety.
13. Safe work Practices- generally written methods outlining how to perform a task with
minimum risk to people, equipment, materials, environment, and processes. Safe job
procedures are a series of specific steps that guide a worker through a task from start to
finish in a chronological order.
14. Hiring and placement- Like all other companies, each people trying to get hired on their
company needs to go on a step by step hiring process. Like permits and stuff.
15. Care of Injured and Ill- As it is their responsibility, the company has a Safety program
dedicated for the care of the injured and ill in case they are involved in an
incident/accident. Like their health benefits, first aid, clinics etc.
16. Safety Committees- facilitate co-operation in developing and carrying out measures to
improve the safety of workers, help develop health and safety standards, rules and
procedures.
17. Control of hazardous Energy(Lockout/Tag out)- Energy sources including electrical,
mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, thermal, or other sources in machines and
equipment can be hazardous to workers. During the servicing and maintenance of
machines and equipment, the unexpected startup or release of stored energy can result in
serious injury or death to workers.
 Proper lockout/tagout (LOTO) practices and procedures safeguard workers from
the release of hazardous energy. The OSHA standard for The Control of
Hazardous Energy (Lockout/Tagout) (29 CFR 1910.147) for general industry,
outlines specific action and procedures for addressing and controlling hazardous
energy during servicing and maintenance of machines and equipment. Employers
are also required to train each worker to ensure that they know, understand, and
are able to follow the applicable provisions of the hazardous energy control
procedures. Workers must be trained in the purpose and function of the energy
control program and have the knowledge and skills required for the safe
application, usage and removal of the energy control devices.
 All employees who work in an area where energy control procedure(s) are utilized
need to be instructed in the purpose and use of the energy control procedure(s),
especially prohibition against attempting to restart or reenergize machines or other
equipment that are locked or tagged out.
 All employees who are authorized to lockout machines or equipment and perform
the service and maintenance operations need to be trained in recognition of
applicable hazardous energy sources in the workplace, the type and magnitude of
energy found in the workplace, and the means and methods of isolating and/or
controlling the energy.
 Specific procedures and limitations relating to tagout systems where they are
allowed.
 Retraining of all employees to maintain proficiency or introduce new or changed
control methods.
18. Industrial Hygiene- they follow the IMPLEMENTING RULES AND
REGULATIONS(IRR) on CHAPTER VII( Industrial Hygiene) OF THE SANITATION
CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES.
19. Personal Protective Equipment’s- It is required to all the workers or employees to wear
their Personal Protective Equipment at all times inside their workplaces such as Head
Protection, Arm Protection, Leg Protection, Breathing Protection, Hearing Protection,
etc.
20. Fire Protection- The Fire Protection program are established and can be used throughout
all their workplaces. They also have trained firefighting organization. Provided Fire
Fighting Equipment’s throughout all their workplaces. Also they have trained their
workers how to firefighting equipment’s and where to find them. Provided fire walls and
exit stairways and Alarm Systems to inform workers in case of emergency. Prohibited
Smoking near any building or operation that may constitute a fire hazard.
21. Accident Investigation- the scientific and academic analysis of the facts that occurred
during an accident. An investigation is conducted to identify the root cause of
an accident in an effort to make recommendations or take corrective actions to prevent
the future occurrence of the same or a similar event.

These are the four critical reasons which why they include these Safety Management
Program
 Concern- Concern for the welfare of workers, facilities and the environment
 Economic- Accidents cost money. They investigate the accident to prevent the
accident from happening again therefore saving money to be economically
efficient.
 Legal- The Law( DOE Order 5484 1) requires it. Many Federal and State Laws
Require Accidents and Injuries to be Investigated. DOE Order 5484 1 specifies
exactly what should be investigated. Failure to comply with this order could result
in legal action.
 Risk Management- Accident information is essential to running a good risk
management program and preventing future accidents. Risk must be known and
understood to prevent accidents. Future accidents can be prevented by
 understanding all of the factors which cause accidents and under what conditions
they occur.

Management of impacts will be undertaken in accordance with the identified

risks and their risk rankings, in order to appropriately prioritise levels of effort to be
provided by JGPG during project implementation. Appropriate management plans
will be developed and implemented, including waste management plan and spill
response plans, among others. An Environmental Management Unit will be
established to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and commitment
with the environmental management plant presented as part of this EIS. As part of its
Corporate Governance, JGPG is committed to adhere to its Stakeholder Health,
Safety and Welfare policy. Under this policy, the company is “committed to
undertake all reasonable steps to ensure the health, safety and welfare for the best
interest of our stakeholders and the communities where we live and work by
complying with the provisions of law, industry rules and regulations, standards of
independent accreditation bodies where the Company obtained accreditation, and
contractual obligations.” This policy aims to: 1. Provide a guiding principle to ensure
health, safety and welfare of the Company's stakeholder. 2. Identify responsibility and
accountability of every personnel and department in the organization to ensure the
health, safety and welfare of stakeholders. 3. Integrate health and safety practices in
all activities to ensure efficiency and quality of products and services. The policy
defines the guiding principles and responsibilities for managing health, safety and
welfare of the stakeholders of the company including its subsidiaries and affiliates.
This policy will also provide the guiding principles for the project to implement
appropriate measures to prevent adverse impacts of the project.

Safety Projects:

JGSPG donates Medical Equipment to its Host Barangays

JG Summit Petrochemicals Group (JGSPG) donated emergency equipment to its host
barangays, Simlong and Pinamucan Ibaba last May 12, 2017 held at the JGSPG complex. This
effort is part of the Community Development Program which is dedicated to environment,
education and health and safety.
Each barangay received the following emergency equipment:
 One (1) set of first aid kit
 One (1) unit of heavy duty flashlight
 One (1) unit of megaphone
 Twelve (12) units of reflector vests
 Twelve (12) units of raincoats
 Twelve (12) units of whistles
 Coffee mix
The turnover was attended by the barangay officials and personnel who delightedly
received the emergency equipment. These items will be useful and significant for each barangay
as this will improve their emergency response team and also their day to day operations. During
the turnover, JGSPG employees conducted a short lecture on Safety, Health and Environment
lead by the Safety department. They discussed the safety precautions being done inside and
outside the Plant to ensure safety of the employees and its surrounding communities. Ten (10)
members from each barangay were even invited for a free training to be part of the Quick
Response Team.
JG Summit Petrochemicals Group continuously supports its host baranggays with
information and learnings that will make life better for the community.
We are committed to minimizing the environmental impacts of our business. We operate an
environmental management system duly certified as conforming to ISO 14001:2004 standard.
This is reflected in our Mission Statement to “carry out our operations in a safe and efficient
manner because we are environmentally responsible in all aspects of our enterprise.”

We are engaged, in partnership with a religious group and a nongovernmental organization,

in ongoing programs for the environment in surrounding areas around our Complex. We are
proud of our Mini-forest and Artificial Reef Sanctuary Projects. Our two-hectare mini-forest
houses a tree nursery with 50,000 saplings which will be doubled in the coming years. We have
planted close to 500 trees with residents of Barangay Pinamucan Ibaba. We have deployed man-
made reefs to create an artificial reef sanctuary to nurture a self-sustaining underwater ecosystem
in waters around our complex. Our participation to the annual International Coastal Clean-up
Days has become a tradition wherein our employees take part in cleaning portions of the
Barangay Simlong coastline.

Plant a Tree with JG Summit

JG Summit Petrochemical Corporation is now implementing a comprehensive tree seedlings

distribution in Batangas City. According to Headlines News Today's information gathered from
an official of the said company, the JG Summit has set more than 100,000 tree seedlings in their
mini-forest and tree nursery in Barangay Pinamucan Ibaba from January of this year. These tree
seedlings such as Molave, Narra, Kasuy, Guyabano, Rare, Bayabas, Chico, Dalandan, American
Lemon, Kalamansi and Mango are distributed to government agencies, neighboring villages and
non-government organizations. Distribution of trees is a company's support in the government's
national greening program and part of the environmental program.

According to experts, the importance of trees in our environment and nature is great. Tree
planting includes solutions to combat climate change. The trees absorb the excess carbon dioxide
that it stores on the body and releases oxygen that humans and animals need. According to the
study the trees also absorb odor and gases such as nitrogen oxides, ammonia and sulfur oxide;
and the trees also filter the particulate matter into the air with its leaves and bark. Everyone
knows that tree-like trees come from food and the trees are also housed by birds and various
species of animals and insects.
The JG Summit will prioritize the 50,000 tree seedlings of molave and narra for the
DENR's greening program and to replace the trees that relate to site development in the JGSPC
Complex. It is scheduled to add 10,000 tree seedlings for the expanded national greening
program implemented in Batangas province through the DENR. JGS also provided more than
40,000 tree seedlings for Batangas City ENRO, neighboring barangays, non-government
organizations and employees.

JGSPG’s Tree Planting Program: 69,680 seedlings planted in 1st half of 2016

From January to July 2016, JGSPG has distributed 69,680 tree seedlings to government
agencies, schools, local government units and employees. The breakdown of distribution is as
follows: 60,000 – DENR CENRO/PENRO – 60,000; 5,000 – CALABARZON Regional
Development Council; 2,000 – Lobo Water District; 1,003 – Barangay Pinamucan Ibaba, Isla
Verde and Concepcion Elementary School; and 1,677 – JGSPG/URCFlex/CFC.
The tree seedlings are composed of Narra, Molave, Soursop, Cashew, Jackfruit, Calamansi, Sour
Orange, American Lemon, Mango, Chico and Guapple. They were cultivated from the JGSPG
Mini-forest and Tree Nursery in Barangay Pinamucan Ibaba, Batangas City.
These tree seedlings were planted in watershed areas, backyards, farms and school
premises. The ones donated to the CALABARZON Regional Development Council were planted
in Sitio Ulupong, Barangay Sawang, Lobo, Batangas for the Arbor Day and Watershed Day of
Lobo.
The tree planting activity with CALABARZON Regional Development Council was held
last June 24, 2016 which were attend by 432 representatives from the Department of Agriculture,
Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Department of Education, Department of
Interior and Local Government, Land Transportation Office, Department of Public Works and
Highways, Housing and Land Use Regulatory Board, Batangas State University, Commission on
Higher Education, Department of Transportation, National Economic and Development
Authority, Department of Trade and Industry, Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources, Lobo
Water District and JG Summit Petrochemical Group.

 III. CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATION

Living is a risky business. Taking risks begins in childhood, and continues throughout our lives
and into old age, when many accidents are associated with confusion and forgetfulness.
Sometimes we are aware of the risks we take; other times we are not.

The likelihood of personal harm, even disaster, in our lives is often influenced by:

 where we live
 our lifestyle and the company we keep
 our own attitude to risk
 the attitude to risk taken by others eg our employer, our favourite café, our local train operator,
our local hospital
 our hobbies, interests and pursuits
 our job and the duties associated with it.

Everyone has the right to be in a safe and healthy workplace. This is a basic human right as most
people spend a large part of their life at work.

Employers must ensure the Health and Safety of their employees and the wider public who come
into contact with their business.

For this reason, JG summit petrochemicals group has a list of safety management programs
that help employees to lessen the exposure of risk such as toxic fumes and chemicals.

 Training-teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge that relate
to specific useful competencies.
 In order for them to find potential hazards, they include inspection specially on
workplaces on their Job Hazard Analysis.
 Safe Operating Procedures -written document that provides step-by-step instructions on
how to safely perform a task or activity which involves some risk to health and safety.
 This Safety Management Program is being thought in their trainings in order for them to
be well prepared.

 Risk avoidance and reduction

We can reduce the number of incidents that affect health, safety and the environment when we
understand their cause. This is particularly true of incidents that result from human error or from
a failure to take adequate precautions against risks. Creating a safer and a less environmentally
harmful workplace is, therefore, a learning experience that involves:

 finding out more about the risks associated with activities

 understanding better why accidents happen or environmental incidents occur
 reducing or eliminating the factors that contribute to risk.

The gases industry is potentially hazardous. Its products can be toxic, oxidising, irritants,
corrosive, flammable or asphyxiants. Gas production also often involves very low temperatures
and very high pressures in gas cylinders. Transporting gases also has its hazards and difficulties.

The industry therefore gives a very high priority to health, safety and environmental
considerations. Health and safety policies must become part of a business’s corporate strategy as
well as part of its everyday operations. However, each business has limited resources to apply to
health and safety policy. It must therefore use its resources very efficiently.

Risk management

Risk management is a process that attempts to identify and understand specific risks within the
business, and to identify the cost of reducing or eliminating those risks.

The JG Summit Petrochemicals Group faces both direct and indirect risks. Direct risks arise from
the business’s core operations and may come from:

 environmental incidents, such as greenhouse gas generation or the production of

waste water
 health and safety incidents affecting a range of groups both within and outside a plant.
Indirect risks follow on from direct risks. They include damage to a firm’s reputation and the
adverse media attention created by a high profile incident. Companies with poor accident records
may run the risk of losing favour with investors and of finding it hard to raise funds. These are
also indirect risks.

Within The JG Summit Petrochemicals Group, managers have the key responsibility for safety
and for environmental management. Their performance is measured and evaluated, for instance
by how they minimise waste in the use of energy. In recent years, The BOC Group has invested
heavily in extending safety measures and in improving environmental performance. As a result,
accident rates have been falling and the Group’s production and distribution processes have
become increasingly efficient.

RECOMMENDATIONS:

The worker safety is dependent on worker behavior and human factors:

1. STAY ALERT
 The more awake a worker is, the less likely he or she is to get hurt.
 If you are unsure how to operate equipment or perform a task, ask your
supervisor.
 Make sure you know in advance the correct, safe way to do the work safety.

2. WEAR THE RIGHT CLOTHES

 Wear protective clothing and equipment as required

3. USE THE RIGHT TOOLS

 If you need a hammer, get a hammer
 It may be handier to use a pair of pliers, wrench, screw driver or even your fist.
  But you will have only yourself to blame if you break your fingers.

4. USE LIFTING DEVICES AND LEARN HOW TO LIFT

5. DON’T BE A PRANKSTER
 Practical jokes and horseplay can be dangerous around machinery.
 If you feel the urge to play, resist it until after work.

6. BE TIDY
 Good housekeeping reduces hazards in the workplace or your home.
 Always put away tools when they are not in use.
 Keep the floors clean, pick up scraps, wipe up spills.
 A slip or trip can be fatal

7. REPORTING IS IMPORTANT
 Never fail to report accidents.
 Defective equipment.
 Unsafe conditions.

8. GET FIRST AID IMMEDIATELY

 Neglect of the injury may lead to serious infection, even permanent injury.

9. BACK YOUR SAFETY PROGRAM

 If you have an idea you believe will reduce accidents, tell your supervisor about
it.
  Set an example by obeying safety rules.
 Cooperate with your safety committee

10. AVOID SHORTCUTS AND NEVER TAKE A CHANCE

 Be punctual at your workplace.

DEVELOP THE SAFETY AND HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR YOUR INDUSTRY.

 An accident prevention program (APP)

 A personal protective Equipment (PPE)
 A hazardous chemicals Communication Program
 If your employees are exposed to hazardous chemicals in the workplace.
 A respiratory Protection Program
 If your employees use respirators to do their work
 A Fall protection work plan

Chemical Safety
Chemical hygiene plans are written documents that outline the hazards present in a laboratory
and explain the processes, protocols, tools, and equipment that are available to help workers
guard against those hazards. Like many safety plans, chemical hygiene plans are living
documents that need to be reviewed and updated often.

Although plans are often specific to each laboratory, its chemicals, and its processes, OSHA does
specify certain elements that must be contained within the plan. The following tips can help
minimize chemical exposure in laboratories, round out a chemical hygiene plan, and promote
worker safety.
Use General SOPs
Each chemical has a unique set of hazards and needs to be handled properly to ensure worker
safety. However, for laboratories that handle a wide variety of chemicals, establishing a separate
protocol for each chemical complicates training and increases the likelihood of mishandling and
exposure.

A standard operating procedure (SOP) that addresses the use of correct personal protective
equipment, safe handling, safe use, and proper disposal can cover all chemicals in a laboratory.
Flip charts, signs, or other literature can then be used to remind workers of specific chemical
hazards.

Air Flow
Air quality can quickly become compromised in laboratories, making ventilation an important
factor in minimizing exposure. When determining whether the local exhaust system is adequate,
a good rule of thumb is that the system should be capable of at least eight to 10 air changeouts
per hour when the space is occupied.

In addition to the general exhaust system for the laboratory, exhaust hoods are another tool to
increase safety. The National Research Council's Prudent Practices for Handling Hazardous
Chemicals in Laboratories recommends "2.5 linear feet of hood space per person should be
provided for every 2 workers if they spend most of their time working with chemicals. Each
hood should have a continuous monitoring device to allow convenient confirmation of adequate
hood performance before use."

Housekeeping
Keeping floors clean and dry will help prevent slip and fall injuries -- the third-leading cause of
worker injury and lost work time. Stocking absorbent mat pads and wipers in spill-prone
locations helps employees clean up spills quickly, so the chance of a slip-and-fall incident is
reduced and exposure is minimized. Providing a proper receptacle for spent cleanup materials
also helps to minimize exposure.
Cleaning work surfaces throughout the day keeps work spaces uncluttered, decreasing the
likelihood of reactions and spills due to counter space being overcrowded. Likewise, storing
excess chemicals on countertops should be discouraged so workers will have adequate space to
perform their duties properly.

Waste disposal procedures should also be established, with wastes being removed from labs to a
central storage area on a regular basis. Workers should be taught not to pour liquids down drains
or use hoods to get rid of volatile chemicals.

Storeroom Safety
A well-organized stockroom promotes safety and is more efficient. Putting one person in charge
of the stockroom can help to facilitate proper organization and storage within the area. This
person may also help to ensure that proper inventory levels are kept, duplicate orders aren't being
placed, and expired chemicals are disposed of properly.

Even when storage space is at a premium, segregating incompatible chemicals in storerooms and
providing containment for shelves are both important factors for worker safety.

Establish a plan for new chemicals. Before a chemical enters a lab, have a plan for properly
handling, storing, and disposing of it.

Tools
Using damaged glassware can be just as dangerous as using the wrong chemicals. It doesn't take
much for a hairline crack to fail and create a spill. Using containment trays will help to control
the mess, but avoiding it in the first place helps save time and money and minimizes exposure.

Checking glassware and equipment prior to each use should be part of the SOP. Workers also
should know how to properly handle, tag, or discard of any article that is damaged so it is not
reused or put back into service until it has been repaired.

Spill Response
Even seasoned technicians can spill chemicals occasionally, so it's important to know how to
properly handle spilled chemicals. Spill response plans should address spill prevention strategies,
containment procedures, proper ventilation, when to evacuate, how to obtain medical care, and
reporting requirements. Regular drills will help to reinforce the details of response plans.

Having a spill kit readily available in each laboratory helps trained workers contain and control a
spill quickly, further helping to minimize exposure.

Safety Equipment
Signs and container labels reinforce safety and serve as a constant reminder of specific handling,
use, and disposal procedures. It is equally important to properly maintain eyewash stations,
drench showers, fire extinguishers, and first aid kits so that workers who are exposed to
chemicals can quickly access these tools in an emergency to lessen the effects of their exposure.

Training
Having a chemical hygiene plan and making sure that workers understand the plan and how it
helps them to avoid exposure to hazardous chemicals are essential requirements of OSHA's
laboratory standard.

Training is required for all workers prior to their assignment in a laboratory, but education
should not stop there. An annual presentation may not be enough to reinforce safety; training
should be a regular activity that addresses the many different aspects of avoiding exposure.

Workers should know:

 the location of the chemical hygiene plan

 the location of MSDS and other educational literature

 how personal protective equipment is selected, its location, how to use each piece
properly, and how to determine when it needs to be replaced

 the hazards presented by each chemical and procedure in the laboratory

 how to handle chemicals properly to avoid exposure

  how to label containers correctly

 proper laboratory hygiene and conduct, such as never eating, drinking, or chewing gum in
a laboratory; confining loose hair and clothing; and avoiding horseplay and practical jokes

 how to use the "buddy system" to avoid working alone

 how to evaluate the procedure or process they'll be performing so that they take only the
amount of chemicals necessary for the job they're doing

 how to handle waste materials

Although each laboratory comes with its own set of unique challenges, addressing known
hazards and planning for anticipated ones will help to minimize chemical exposure and ensure a
safer workplace for everyone.
