General Manager's Message PSM
Safety Beyond Excellence We in GPIC always strive to establish new systems and strategies to improve our practices in all aspects of our business. Safety has always been on top of our priorities and goals. The drive to implement Process Safety Management (PSM) relates back to 2001 when the initial work began to meet the OSHA requirements. In 2009, we revitalized the PSM Committee with a view to synergize the company systems to be more compliant with the PSM requirement. GPIC’s Process Safety Management (PSM) program is designed to integrate and align under one umbrella, our plants related Engineering, Safety, Operation and Maintenance activities, with a clear objective to minimize process related risks. Through this program, we intend to achieve the main goal of fulfilling

| PROCESS SAFETY MANAGEMENT HANDBOOK2010
our obligation to protect our employees, assets and the local community. This booklet outlines the PSM requirements and describes GPIC’s approach to achieving those needs. We believe that only through the continuous support and dedication of our employees at every level we make GPIC one of the safest plants.

PSM
Committee Message The Process Safety Management (PSM) of Highly Hazardous Chemicals, OSHA Standard 29CFR1910.119, is intended to prevent or minimize the consequences of the release of toxic, reactive, flammable or explosive chemicals from the adopted processes. At GPIC, we have incorporated these requirements into the Integrated Management System and decided to extend the scope of PSM to cover all process related hazards.
The PSM Committee’s role is to spearhead the establishment, maintenance, continuous evaluation and enhancement of the PSM program. In 2010, we will further enhance the program by introducing Risk Based Process Safety (RBPS).
The PSM system facilitates the elimination of process incidents that could potentially occur as a result of failures in systems, procedures or equipment in process plants. It is a major step forward towards a safer working environment.
All of us play an important role in the success of the PSM program implementation.
This booklet is intended to give all our employees an overall understanding of the PSM program and how we comply the OSHA’s requirements within GPIC.
