*To record what needs to be done to have anoutstanding safety program*To do what needs to be done

*To record that the required tasks are done

* willingness to do some of the thankless workthat is required for success

* Everyone should take the responsibilites tocontribute to the safety program

* Learn from the experience of history or bedoomed to repeat it

* Understand the fundamentals of chemicalprocess safety in the design, construction andoperation of the plants

* safety takes time (study, to do the work, torecord results, to share experience, time totrain/be trained)

The most effective means ofimplementing a safety program is to

make everyone responsible in a chemicalprocess plant.

The importance are:

Prevents the valuable equipments from totally damaged

and losing a large amount of investment.Assures the prolonged human resource contribution to

profit the chemical plant.

To avoid other indirect cost

Hazardis a chemical or physical condition that has thepotential to cause damage to people, property or the

environment.

HAZARD AND RISKS

Dangeris arisen when one exposed with the hazard.

Risk is a measure of human injury, environmentaldamage or economic loss in terms of both the incidentlikelihood and the magnitude of the loss or injury,severity.

Accident and loss statistic are important measures ofthe effectiveness of safety program.

These statistics are valuable for determining whethera process is safe or whether a safety procedure isworking effectively.

There are three systems consideredOSHA incidence rate.

Fatal accident rate (FAR)

Fatality rate or deaths per person per year

A process has reported FAR of 2. If an employee worksa standard 8-hr shift 300 days per year, compute the

deaths per person per year.

Solutions

Death per person per year =

(8hr/day) x (300 day/yr) x (2 deaths/108 hr)

= 4.8 x 10-5

Responsible Care = a well- organized, pro- activeapproach to managing health, safety and environmentaspect of our plants and business as that goes beyond

legislative requirements

CICM is the Malaysian steward for the ResponsibleCare Programme (RCP), which is a global initiativeadopted by chemical companies to continuously

improve all aspects of safety, health and environment(SHE) protection of their operations and products in

manner responsible to the concerns of the public.

DISTRIBUTION CODE (Aug 3, 95)

to reduce the potential for harm posed by thedistribution of chemicals to the general public,

employees and the environment

COMMUNITY AWARENESS AND EMERGENCY

RESPONSE CODE (Nov 2, 96)

to work with nearby communities to understand theirconcerns and to plan and practice for emergencies

POLLUTION PREVENTION CODE (Nov 25, 97)

to achieve ongoing reductions in the amount of all

pollutants released into the environment

Codes of ManagementPractices


14/15

PROCESS SAFETY CODE (May 19, 99)

to prevent fires, explosions and accidental chemicalreleases

EMPLOYEE HEALTH AND SAFETY CODE (May19, 99)

to protect and promote the health and safety of

people working at or visiting company sites.PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP CODE (Nov 17, 99)

to make health, safety and environmental protection apriority in all stages of a product's life, from design to

disposal.
