SAFETY

 Continue remind the staff and contractor on the following:

 Process units enter and exit must be through badge control gate.
 Comply with PPE when entering into plant area.
 Eating in the Sub Station is not allowed.
 Sleeping not allowed inside the refinery at all.
 Usage of utilities should be informed to hot and cold utilities panel.
 Using mobile phone in process area is strictly prohibited - TPC cooperation is the key to solve this
problem.
 Tk-2001 (acid tank) leaking. Pls take care when working near this tank
