8. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION AND REPORTING

8.1 General
(1) Because all accidents can be prevented , our safety efforts concentrate on
accident prevention. Although accidents may still happen even with our best
efforts to prevent them, it becomes unacceptable when an accident recurs due to
our failure to correctly analyze and effectively learn from them. Therefore,
the importance of timely and accurate reporting and investigation of accidents
can not be over-emphasized.
(2) The information enables remedial measures to be taken especially in emergency
cases, and learning points to be shared with other sectors within the
organization. These guidelines are being issued to remind everyone of
his/her duty and obligation. Failure to comply is a cause for disciplinary
action.

8.2 Investigation
(1) All accidents, no mater how small they may be, shall be investigated.
The objective is to prevent recurrence of accident of similar nature.

3) Property damage exceeding US 5,000 dollars
(3) The supervisor shall attend all investigations of accident that occur at SITE under
his charge.
(4) The Safety Manager and supervisor, after being notified of the accident, shall
immediately carry out on investigation.

8.3 Accident Reporting

(2) Emergency state from fire, explosion
(3) Emergency state from toxic release
(4) Emergency state from injury accident

9.3 Level of Emergency

(1) LEVEL 1
A situation where there is no immediate danger to life and (Minor Emergency)
where risk of damage to environment and / or property is minimal.
(2) LEVEL 2
A situation where there is danger to life and a risk of damage to (Serious
Emergency) environment and / or property, where a situation exists which is
within the capability of CONTRACTOR's Safety Organization.
(3) LEVEL 3
Where a situation exists or may develop which is beyond the (Major Emergency)
capability of CONTRACTOR's Safety Organization and equipment to control and
requiring action from the government and / or other sources.
