Oil and chemical spills can represent a potential threat to the Plant, personal safety and
the environment. Immediate action should be taken in the event of all spills to minimize
the consequences of the spill.
The first action should be to locate and stop the source of the spill. If this cannot be
done or involves a threat to your safety call the emergency number.
Containment of the spill is also important to minimize the chances of oil or chemical
entering the storm water system and potentially the ocean. Small spills should be
cleaned up immediately using an appropriate absorbent material.
If the spill is more severe call the emergency number or use a Plant Radio to advise
operations of the situation.
All spills over 20 liters must be reported to the Environmental Coordinator.

Only use tools in good condition. Broken or damaged tools and makeshift tools must
not be used and will be confiscated without warning. This includes:
All tools powered by motive power (electricity, air) are considered to be capable of
producing incentive sparks and a permit to work must cover their use in the restricted
areas.
COLD TOOLS
Those tools, which depend entirely on manpower, are considered to be cold tools from
which the possibility of producing an incentive spark is remote and their use may be
authorized by a permit to work. Remember that all work in confined spaces requires an
entry permit.

standards as to material and method of construction, the pressure that they are tested,
and the maximum pressure to which they can be filled.
All gas cylinders shall be color-coded and certified. An instruction about color-coding is
available from Civil Engineering Department.
Mishandling gas cylinders can result in explosions. When using Coating gas in a
workshop, the cylinders should be outside the building and manifold to a piping system
to provide the gas at the place of work. Such piping systems should be marked to
identify the gases.
To prevent the interchange of fittings between cylinders to combustible gases and non-
combustible gases, the valve outlet is screwed left hand and right hand respectively.
Provision should be made on gas cylinder trolleys for the safe storage of hoses.
Gas cylinders other than those associated with breathing apparatus must never be
taken into confined spaces and gas torches and hoses must be removed when the work
is completed or whenever work is temporarily suspended at the end of the workday.
When regulator head from an empty cylinder is transferred to a full one the regulator
screw must be completely unscrewed. The cock on the cylinder must be opened very
gradually to prevent
Any pressure shock to the regulator head. Failure to observe these precautions will
result in putting great pressure suddenly on the regulator, which can cause it to
disintegrate.
LADDERS
Ladders should in principal be used on flat level ground only. Wedges or other loose
material should not be used. The top of the ladder should be securely clamped or
lashed with wire or polyprolene rope during use. If this is not possible it should be held
