Hazard Identification and Risk Mitigation

APMT Tec II is the first semi-automated container terminal in Latin America. The
process of automation has eliminated certain risk which would normally exist in a
conventional container terminal however risk still exists. It is the responsibility of
each to understand any risks which would negatively affect them while on site.

The APMT Work Process, Risk Assessment and Action Plan procedure outlines how
risks and hazards are evaluated, mitigated and acted upon.

APM Terminals will evaluate which components of within operational activities this
may have a significant consequence to health and safety and/or impact on the
environment. The process of identifying hazards/aspects and the potential
risks/impacts provide opportunities to continually improve our business processes
and express our value of Constant Care.

This document also discusses the process to establish specific and measurable
documented objectives and targets to address our most significant safety and
environmental issues and to develop action plans to achieve the stated objectives.

This procedure describes the general method to identify on-site activities and
evaluate the hazards and aspects of those activities that may have a significant
impact on health, safety and the environment. The process provides a method to
rank and prioritize the potential safety risks and environmental impacts based on:

 The probability that the risk/ impact will occur

 The severity of the consequence or environmental impact if the event occurs

 How often a person is exposed to the safety hazard

 The ability to influence the environmental impact, beyond what is currently

being done, taking into account financial constraints and technological
considerations

The following diagram depicts the general process used to identify and rank the
significant risks and impacts of the organizations activities:

The APMT Risk Assessment Matrix will assist in the prioritization of action planning
by assigning colors which will determine the level of tolerance the company will
allow for items to be resolved or mitigated.

When possible all risk should be minimized to the lowest tolerable risk level possible.
Risk shall be evaluated on a daily basis and annual basis.

Daily: Operational activities shall be during the pre-shift meetings (tool box talks) and
will complement the Permit to Work Process.

Annually: The terminal will undergo a site risk evaluation annually by an internal or
external source. This can be in the form of a work group, audit team, corporate audit
or external audit.

High Severity Incident (red): Shall be mitigated prior to activities starting and require
immediate attention from Supervision. Work methods such as (elimination,
substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, PPE) will be deployed to
lower the risk score before activities can start or continue.

Significant Incident (yellow): Require change(s) in the work method within a 60 day
period. The work method will be re-evaluated after the changes have been made for
verification of completion.

Minor Incident (green): Require review during the annual risk evaluation. These
items are tolerable and do not require an action date. Should an incident occur
which raises the item to a Significant or High Severity Incident the corresponding
time frame for mitigation will apply.

APM Terminals has identified 5 main hazards “Fatal Five” within the marine
terminals thus directives from the Global HSSE team have sent to all facilities. Each
of the directives SHALL BE following:

1. Transportation Safety
2. Suspended Loads and Lifting
3. Working at Heights
4. Stored Energy
5. Contractor Management

Each of these directives can be found within in the Annex 1 of the APMT Health,
Safety and Environmental Manual.
