At Apical, the welfare and safety of our staff are paramount.
We have established an Occupational Health and Safety
Management System (OSHMS) to bolster work safety,
prevent accidents, enhance the work setting and
preserve employee well-being. This system adheres to
Indonesia's national regulations, including Law No. 1/1970
on Occupational Health and Safety, Law No. 13/2003
on Employment, Government Regulation No. 50/2012
on Occupational Health and Management System and
Regulation of the Minister of Manpower No. 05/2018 on Work Health and Safety Environment. It encompasses
all employees, operations, and work locations. Our Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) frameworks in China
and Spain are similarly aligned with local statutes, such as the Law of the People's Republic of China on
Occupational Disease Prevention and the ISO 45001:2018 standard, respectively.
Hazard Identification and Management

To identify and manage risks, we designate qualified Apical staff in our operations to conduct Hazard
Identification, Risk Assessment and Risk Control (HIRARC) procedures yearly and as needed. These individuals
are certified through a nationally accredited OHS Expert Training programme. The HIRARC method involves
identifying all plant activities or processes, pinpointing hazards and risks at each step, assessing risk levels based
on severity and likelihood and deciding on mitigation strategies via a risk control hierarchy. This comprehensive
approach engages all relevant parties, ensuring a deep understanding of refinery operations.

To minimise workplace hazards, only certified, physically fit personnel are permitted to operate machinery and
handle dangerous chemicals. All employees must attend safety briefings and OHS training sessions on topics
like first aid, hazardous material management and firefighting. Our refineries enforce regular fire prevention
training and routine fire equipment inspections. Notably, in 2023, we reported no fire incidents and achieved full
compliance with Hot Work Permit requirements.
