continuing effort to help our supervisory personnel in carrying out their management function.
The Operations & Training Department has the responsibility in accordance to its program to ensure that
employees are trained and oriented with respect to the safe procedures, rule and regulations necessary in the
performance of his job or function.
1. SUPERVISORY SAFETY TRAINING
The responsibility of preventing accidents rest on the front line supervisor. With this, it is important that the

MAINTENANCE OF SAFE WORKING CONDITIONS
I. HAZARD DETECTION
All employees should continually observe their work areas for hazards that could possibly result in accident or
injury to themselves or others. Any hazard found is to be immediately corrected by the by the employee if he can
do so safely and within his authority. Any other hazardous conditions should be reported to the immediate
supervisor. The supervisor will inspect the condition, determine a future course of action, and advise the
employee.
Any peculiar hazard should be reported to the Environmental, Safety, and Health Committee or the Safety
Consultant. This information will then be analyzed, reviewed, and disseminated throughout the Company. In this
manner, others can be advised of the potential accident conditions.
At regular intervals, the supervisor should conduct a thorough safety inspection of all property in his area. The
safety representative (committee member) should assist in this inspection, all hazards should be noted, reported,
and necessary corrective actions taken.
CAUTION: It should never be assumed that day-to-day observation of an area is an adequate safety inspection.
Over familiarity can prevent seeing what is present. However, daily observation is important and will result in
detecting unusual hazards.
II. ACCIDENT INVESTIGATION
The efforts of all Company employees are directed toward prevention of accidents. However, in the event an
accident does occur, it is necessary that a complete investigation be made by the supervisor in charge of the
operation. Investigations are made to determine the responsible condition or what really caused the accident.
The results of these investigations are written in a report (DOLE/BWC/OHSD/IP-6 EMPLOYER'S WORK
ACCIDENT/ILLNESS REPORT), and this information is used to correct hazards to prevent a recurrence of similar
accident in the future.
A word of explanation may be necessary concerning the definition of accidents and injuries. An accident is any
unplanned or unforeseen event. Not all accidents result in injuries, but all injuries are accidents. Accidents have
occurred that were not reported because there was no injury involved. All accidents should be investigated and
reported.
The following will help assure a complete investigation:
1. Investigate all accidents regardless of whether an injury occurred.

2. Compile all data and information pertaining to the accident. Do not ignore any factor even though it
may appear insignificant. An apparently minor item may be the key to the responsible condition.
Consider the EMP (Equipment — Material — People) approach:
2.1 Equipment:
2.1.1 Was it properly selected? Was it properly arranged? Was it properly used? Was it properly
maintained?
2.2 Material:
2.2.1 Was it properly selected? Was it properly placed? Was it properly handled? Was it properly
processed?
2.3 People:
2.3.1 Were they properly selected? Were they properly placed? Were they properly trained? Were
they properly led?
2.3.2 Analyze all information completely and determine the responsible condition (they may be
more than one).
2.3.3 Submit accidents reports (or note if no injury involved) through proper channels. The Safety
Consultant should receive a copy of the report. Likewise, this report shall be submitted to the
Bureau of Working Conditions not later than the 20th day of the month following the date of
occurrence.
2.3.4 Correct the condition that caused the accident or obtain necessary approval to correct the
same.
2.3.5 Thoroughly examine your operations to determine if the same conditions exist at other
locations. Correct these also. There is little gained by correcting one hazard and leaving the
same condition uncorrected at another location.
III. PERSONAL CONDUCT
Our attitudes, work habits, and conduct have a direct relation to our personal safety and the safety of our fellow
workers. Every employee is expected to conduct himself in a manner that will reflect pride in his work, in himself,
and in EON BULK HANDLING SERVICES INC. Following are guidelines to be followed at all times:
1. Do not engage in horseplay when at work.

2. Participate in the safety program.
3. Watch for hazards, make suggestions to your supervisor, attend safety meeting, follow safety rules,
protect yourself and your fellow worker.
4. Wear clean close-fitting clothing whenever practical.
5. Be attentive to instructions. Understanding how to do the job is the first step in working safely.
6. Be observant and alert for the unexpected.
7. Do not work when illness or physical condition might create an unsafe condition. Discuss such maters
with your supervisor.
8. Avoid unsafe short-cuts. Take the time to plan your work and then work your plan. Do not take
unnecessary chances.
9. Do not smoke in areas where flammable materials may be presented.
10. Cooperate with your fellow employees. Remember — they have problems too.
11. Only employees directly involved with the work in progress should be at the work location. Bystanders or
"watchers" are often injured needlessly.
IV. FIRST AID
In our mobile world today, a basic knowledge of first aid can be very important. Accidents may strikes suddenly
and without warning. Injuries can range from minor cuts and scratches to critical ones. There may be times when
an individual may be called upon to treat how own injuries: for example, a snake bite or a case of severe bleeding
when he is alone. At such a time it is too late to start looking for a first aid book.
The following paragraphs are discussions of some of the more important first aid techniques. For a more
complete knowledge of first aid, we suggest you attend a first aid course being offered by the Company.
A. Control of Bleeding:
There are four types of bleeding. They are:

1. Capillary bleeding when blood just seeps out.
2. Venous bleeding when blood flows steadily.
3. Arterial bleeding when blood flows in spurts.
4. Internal bleeding.
All types of bleeding should be controlled as soon as possible. Unless a limb is torn from the
body or the bleeding is internal, it is best to use pressure dressings to control all bleeding. To
accomplish this:
1. Use compress bondage wide enough to adequately cover the wound.

2. Wrap it firmly, but not too tight, over the bleeding area.
3. If the bleeding is so profuse that it soaks through the compress bondage, cover
the first bandage with a second one.
4. Leave pressure bandage on until medical help is obtained.
Internal Bleeding Treatment:
1. The patient should be laid down.

2. Stimulant should not be given.
3. The patient should be kept warm and quiet.
4. Get medical attention at once.
B. Shock:
Shock may be caused by severe injury, pains, burns, loss of sight of blood, joy, sorrow, and
other causes.
In shock the patient will have pale face, weak and rapid pulse, irregular breathing, dull
expression, enlarge pupils in eyes, and cold skin covered with clammy seat. He may be
partially or totally unconscious.
To treat shock, lay patient down and keep patient warm using blankets, warm clothing, etc.
Remove foreign objects from mouth, loosen tight clothing, and give patient plenty of air. If
unconscious, give no liquids. If unconscious, patient may be given water, tea or coffee as hot
as he can take it. Summon medical health at one.
C. Fractures:
A fracture is a broken bone, classified as simple or closed fracture and compound or open
fracture.
Simple or closed fracture:
In this case, the bone is broken but not the skin.
a. There is pain and tenderness at the point of the break.

b. There will be loss of function in the case of long bones.
c. There may be deformity of the point of the break.
d. There will be some swelling and possible dislocation.
Compound or open fracture:
The same symptoms are present in the case of a compound as in a simple fracture. In addition, a
wound will extend from the break at the surface of the skin. The end of the broken bone may
protrude and there may be severe bleeding.
Treatment for fractures:
a. In case of skull fracture, patient should be kept lying down with the head slightly higher
than the rest of the body. Treat for shock and keep patient quiet until ambulance or
medical attention is obtained.
b. In case of fractures to collar bone, shoulder, spine, back, pelvis, hip, neck or legs, patient
should be kept lying down and should be treated for shock. Patient should not be moved
until ambulance or medical treatment is obtained.
c. In case of arm fracture the patient may be transported to a doctor or hospital after the
arm has been properly splinted and tied to the body or placed in a sling.
d. In case of fractured ribs, it is advisable to bandage them by using three wide cravat
bandages, pulling them fairly tight and tying them on the side opposite the break before
transporting patient to the doctor.
e. Patients with fractures to the nose, jaw, fingers, toes, hands, feet, etc. can normally be
transported to medical care without bandaging, if care is used in handling the patient. In
case of fracture to one foot, patient should not be allowed to put his weight on the foot.
If both feet are fractured, use a stretcher if at all possible to move the patient.
D. Dislocations:
Causes:
a. Force applied at or near the points such as a blow or fall.

b. Sudden muscular contractions such as a cramp.
c. Twisting strains on joint ligaments.
d. Falls, especially when the force in landing is transferred to a joint.
e. Violent muscular efforts.
2. Symptoms:
a. Pain usually severe in the region of the joint.

b. The joint when compared with the normal joint on the other side, will not
conform as to shape.
c. Very marked swelling, occurring rapidly.
d. Movement of the parts which form the joint is completely lost.
e. Severe shock usually accompanies this type of injury.
3. Treatment:
It is generally recommended that in case of a dislocation, call an ambulance and have the
patient taken to a hospital or a doctor where expert treatment is available.
E. Burns:
1. Types and Causes:
a. Scalds — caused by contract with hot liquids of vapors.

b. Dry-heat burns — caused by exposure to fire, electricity or by friction.
c. Chemical burns — caused by exposure to chemicals.
2. Classification of Burns:
a. First degree: The outer layer of the skin is affected. Skin is reddened and there
may be slight swelling.
b. Second degree: This burn will penetrate to the second layer of the skin. The skin
reddens, swelling may occur and possibly blisters will form.
c. Third degree: This burn will penetrate sufficiently to destroy the outer layer of
the skin and cause severe damage to underlying tissues
3. Treatment of Burns:
a. First-degree burns may be treated with Foille or similar type approved burn
ointment. If the burn covers only a small portion of the body, it may not be
necessary to get medical treatment. However, if this type burn should cover any
doubt in the minds of the supervisor or the injured as to whether or not to
obtain medical attention, the injured should be taken to the clinic.
b. Second-degree burns should always receive medical attention. First, remove

clothing from the injured area. Clothing that adheres to the skin should be cut
around and left it in place. We recommend the burned area be treated with
Foille or a similar type approved burn ointment. The burned area should be
covered by a sterile bondage and medical treatment should be obtained as soon
as possible. The patient should be given treatment for shock.
c. Third-degree burns should be treated the same as second degree burns. In case
of severe or critical burn cases, it would be advisable to secure an ambulance
for transportation to the hospital if at all possible.
d. Chemical Burns — In the event of chemical bum, always flush the burned area
continuously with water until the chemical has been thoroughly flushed away.
DO NOT MAKE ANY EFFORT TO NEUTRALIZE CHEMICAL BURNS WITH OTHER
CHEMICALS. USE WATER ONLY After the chemical has been flushed away, get
the patient to the clinic.
NOTE: In every case of bums to the eye, whether it be chemical, are welding burn, hot
objects, etc., ALWAYS take the patient to a doctor,
F. Open Wounds:
An open wound is a break in the skin or in the mucous membrane which lines one of the
body cavities. Proper and prompt treatment of any wound is important, because of the
danger of INFECTION.
1. Type of open wounds:
a. Cuts or Incisions are usually caused by sharp object. This type of wound bleeds
freely because the blood vessels have been cleanly cut. The flow of blood washes
out most of the germs.
b. Lacerations are wounds which have ragged edges because the flesh has been
torn or mashed by blunt instruments, machinery or rough, ragged surfaces. The
danger of infection is much greater than in the case of cuts.
c. Abrasions are caused when the skin has been rubbed or scraped off, leaving a
raw bleeding surface. Usually these wounds are not deep but they are easily
infected.
d. Punctures are produced by pointed instruments such as needles, splinters, nails,

piece of wire, etc. Usually they are small, but they may be deep, thus germs are
carried deep into the wound. They do not bleed freely and danger of infection is
greater than with any other type of wound.
2. Treatment for open wounds:
a. Do not remove foreign objects from the wound.

b. Try not to touch the wound with the hands, clothing, or any other object that is
not sterile.
c. For small wounds, use Betadine or other approved antiseptics.
d. Bandage the wound firmly, but not tightly.
e. If swelling causes the bandage to tighten, loosen it slightly.
f. In cases f severe bleeding, treat for shock.
g. Pressure bandages should be used to control bleeding.
G. Eye Injuries:
The eye is one of the most important parts of our body; and it is essential that it be given
the best of care. Wherever an eye hazard exists, the proper personal protective
equipment is to be used. When an eye injury occurs, it is important that it be given
proper treatment. The following guidelines should be followed:
1. Chemical Substances:
Wash the eye freely with cold water, using an eye wash fountain or have the
patient lying down, hold his eyelids open with the fingers and pour plenty of
water and wash the eye thoroughly, then take the patient to a doctor as soon as
possible. No neutralizing solution should be used in the eye.
2. Foreign Bodies in the Eye:
If foreign objects such as rust, sand, piece of steel, etc., are blown or driven into
the eye, the patient should be taken to the clinic immediately. It is advisable not
to rub the eye, as this may cause loose objects in the eye to scratch the tissues or
become embedded in the eyeball. It is not advisable for first aid personnel to
attempt to remove foreign bodies from the eye.
H. Miscellaneous:
We realize there are many injuries of a minor nature such that in the judgment of the
supervisor and the employee it is not serious enough to warrant a trip to the clinic. In such
cases a Minor Occupational accident report should be made and the supervisor should check
back with the employee at a later date to make sure that no complications arise.
However, there are some cases where an employee should be taken to a doctor for a check-
up. When a person receives a severe blow to the abdominal area, the back, or the head, he
should be taken to the doctor as a precautionary measure
V. HOUSEKEEPING
Good housekeeping is of prime importance in creating the proper environment for safe work. A clean, neat work
area sets the stage for accident-free operations. In addition, good housekeeping eliminates many hazards that
may g undetected. Therefore you are expected to:
1. Keep your areas clean and in good order, providing proper and designated places for equipment. All
work areas are to be kept free from debris.
2. Provide chests or storage racks for tools. Tools left out of place become a hazard.
3. Store hoses, chains, ropes, electric cords, etc., so they will not become tripping hazards.
4. Place oily waste or clothes in a metal container with a lid.
5. Clean up all spills promptly.
6. Check and clean storage areas periodically.
7. Complete every job by cleaning up the work area.

8. Remove protruding nails, screws, etc.
9. Keep doorways, emergency exits, stairs, and platforms clean and free of obstructions.
10. Repair leaks promptly.
VI. PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
EON BULK HANDLING SERVICES INC. provides a considerable amount of personal protective equipment designed
to help prevent injuries to employees. It is the responsibility of each employee and supervisor to know all the
rules regarding the use of such equipment and to abide by these rules.
The Operations & Safety Department has a list of the various recommended types of protective equipment
available. If any doubt exists regarding what to purchase, how to purchase, or where to purchase such
equipment, contact your Safety Engineer/Consultant. USE ONLY APPROVED SAFETY EQUIPMENT.
It is very important that protective equipment provide the desired protection. It must b kept clean and always in
first class working condition. It must fit properly for maximum comfort and safety.
Following is a list of the more important items of personal protective equipment and some comments on their
use:
1. Hard Hats:
Hard hats are worn by workers doing inside the declared hard hat area. Facilities Engineering personnel who
conduct inspection around the hard hat area should likewise wear hard hats. The hat should be kept clean and
head band adjusted properly where windy condition is at hand.
2. Goggles:
Googles are to be used any time or any place that there is a more than usual risk of an eye injury.
Below are some of the activities that require properly fitted goggles:
2.1 Hammering or sledging on chisels, cold cuts, fittings, connections,

2.2 etc.
2.3 Using wire brush to clean pipe, etc.
2.4 Grinding on abrasive wheels, buffing on buffing wheels, even when
2.5 glass guards are provided.
2.6 Using compressed air for cleaning.
2.7 Handling rusty pipes, plates, wire lines, etc.
2.8 Chipping paints.
2.9 Handling chemicals i.e., acids, caustics, etc.
2.10 Gas Welding, cutting, brazing or soldering.
2.11 If there is any doubt regarding the need for eye protection, wear it you are the one that benefits
most.
3. Respiratory Protection:
3.1 Respirators: These are to be use in area where dust, spray paint
3.2 mists, chemical vapor, etc. are present.
3.3 Canister with full face Mask: This type will absorb harmful
3.4 substances (according to the type of canister used) from the air breathed through it. High
concentrations of the substance may overload the canister to such an extent that all of the
contaminants are not absorbed. If any odor of contaminate is detected, the user of the canister
mask must move to fresh air at once. Do not use this mask where oxygen supply is insufficient.
3.5 Self Contained Breathing Apparatus: These are designed
3.6 primarily for emergency use and may be used in any atmosphere except that which irritates the skin.
4. Safety Belts/Full Body Harness:
Safety belts should be of good quality purchased from a dependable manufacturer. They should be kept clean
and in first class condition at all times, always being inspected before use. If any doubt exists, regarding type
of belt to purchase, contact your Safety Consultant.
5. Safety Shoes:
All employees where fall of materials or equipment is a hazard should wear a steel toe safety shoes.
6. Protective Clothing:
Acid resistant clothing, gloves, apron, etc. are provided by the Company where needed. Your supervisor can
assist you in securing this equipment.
7. Hearing Protection:
It is recognized that exposure to excessive noise levels over prolonged periods may cause loss of hearing.
Currently, sound levels above 85 decibels are considered damaging.
Regardless of the complexity of the problem, there is one safety measure that will help protect personnel
from damaging sound levels while at work. This protective measure is the wearing of properly designed and
fitted Ear Muffs.
Generally the use of Ear Muffs is recommended for the following reasons:
7.1 Ear plugs must fit precisely to be effective. In many cases, medical
7.2 assistance is necessary.
7.3 Since ear plugs must fit tightly, they are necessarily somewhat
7.4 uncomfortable.
7.5 Plugs can present a sanitation problem.
7.6 Plugs are easily lost.
7.7 Chewing and talking can destroy the effectiveness of the plug as it
7.8 is placed outward from the ear canal.
VII. HAND AND POWER TOOLS

The misuse of common hand tools is a major source of injury to the industrial worker. In most cases the
injury results from the assumption that "Anybody knows how to use hand tools." The record shows that
hand tools are the source of about 6 to 10 percent of all compensable injuries.
The right tools for routine and special work must be made available to the work force. Defective tools
must be replaced or repaired before use.
1. Common Hand Tools:
A common source of injury involves the improper carrying of hand tools. A workman must never
carry tools which in any way might interfere with his using both hands freely on a ladder. Chisels,
screwdrivers, and pointed tools should never be carried in a workman's pocket. A toolbox or cart,
a carrying belt like that used by electricians or riggers, or a hand tool pouch should be used to
keep pointed and cutting edges away from the body.
Eye injuries are quite commonly caused by hand tools. Eye protection is needed in all operation
where one metal hand tool strikes another, where equipment or material is struck by a metal
hand tool, or where the cutting portion of a tool causes particles to fly.
Chisels, center punch, and cold chisels and other shock tools that require a soft, medium and
hard head should be dressed as soon as they begin to mushroom. A light bevel ground on the
edge of the head will enable the tool to stand up better under pounding and will reduced the
danger of chips being knocked off.
The screwdriver is probably the most used and abused hand tool. The practice of using
screwdrivers as punches, wedges, pinch bars or levers should not be allowed. If used in such a
manner, they become unfit for the work for which they are designed. Furthermore, broken
handle, bent blades, dull or twisted tips may cause a screwdriver to slip from the screw and cause
injury.
2. Power Tools:
Employees should be instructed and trained to inspect power tools and to recognize defects. The
extent of this inspection and the responsibility for correcting defects should be clearly outlined so
that there is no unnecessary duplication of effort or misunderstanding as to the responsibility for
maintenance.
Grinding wheels, buffers, wire brushes should be guarded as completely as possible. When a
grinder is used for several types of work, the guard should be adjustable.
A recent change in electric tool design has resulted in the development of equipment that is
much safer in protecting the user from electric shock. These tools are "double insulated" with n
internal layer of protective insulation which effectively isolates the electrical components from
the housing. This design is so efficient that the third wire ground feature is no longer required.
The extension cords of all portable electric tools and lights must be equipped with a three-prong
electrical plug that maintains a good connection to the ground. If the cord becomes frayed or the
insulation is cracked, it must be replaced immediately.
VIII. LADDERS AND SCAFFOLDS
Working from ladders and scaffolds can always be a hazard, unless the equipment is safe and is use in a
manner. The following precautions should always be observed in the use of ladders:
1. Do not use shop-made ladders.

2. Do not paint wooden ladders except with clear varnish or linseed oil. Paint could cover defects.
3. Defective ladders must be repaired before use or preferably replaced.
4. Do not use metal ladders where they may contact electrical lines or equipment.
5. Erect portable ladders as shown.
6. Any ladder erected where it my fall, should be anchored at the top or held at the bottom by a co-
worker.
7. All portable ladders must be equipped with safety feet.
8. Only one person is allowed on a ladder at one time.
9. Do not carry tools or equipment when climbing or descending a ladder and always face the
ladder. Use both hands when climbing or descending.
10. If a mud sill is necessary due to muddy condition, ladder must be securely anchored to prevent
rolling or slipping from sill.
11. All permanently installed ladders or stairs must be constructed of metal. Any vertical ladders in
regular service and over 20 feet long shall be adequately caged to within 7 feet of ground level.
12. Do not place ladders in front of doors unless door is locked or attended by a fellow worker.
13. Do not climb ladders when wearing slick soled shoes.
14. Do not over-reach when on a ladder. Move the ladder if you cannot safely reach your work.
The following general procedures pertain to construction and use of scaffolds and platforms:
1. The scaffold together with supports or suspension ropes must be tested to assure it will hold three
times the weight to be placed on the structure.
2. If the scaffold or platform is erected to a height to 6 feet or more, toe boards and guard rails must be
installed.
3. Scaffold walkway planks must be 2 inches thick or greater and must be cross supported every 6 feet.
Planks must be secured when necessary.
4. Never support scaffolds from insulated piping.
5. Assure that scaffolds are erected on solid footing.
6. Do not work on scaffold when wearing slick soled shoes.
The following comments pertain to safe construction land use of steps and walkways:
1. Generally, steps and walkways should be constructed of metal. However, there may be instances
where wood or concrete are preferred due to the nature of the installation, e.g., in a corrosive
environment.
2. Any such installation constructed of wood should receive special maintenance attention to assure
it remains in safe condition.
3. Steps over 3 risers high or walkways over 6 feet above ground level must be equipped with a rigid
handrail.
4. Toe boards are required on walkways over 6 feet above ground level.
5. Flooring of steps and walkways should be the non-slip type, such as expanded metal or grating.
IX. TAG AND LOCKOUT
In our operations it is often necessary to repair machinery, adjust equipment grease or oil machinery,
part line or flanges, inspect machinery or change operating system. While performing this work, the
machinery must be shut-down and/or the lines must be depressurized. It is possible that some, not
knowing that such work is in progress, can start this equipment or open valves to re-pressure lines and
cause an injury to the person doing the work.
To protect the employee doing the work, the Lock and Tag out Procedure should be followed. This is a
safety measure wherein the main energized. Examples of controls or devices that may need to be locked
out are:
1. Electric motor control switches.

2. Steam line valves.
3. Acid lines valves.
4. Valves on high pressure gas or LPG lines.
5. Fuel line valves to boiler, heaters, or generators.
Here is how the procedure works. Let us assume you are going to repack the seal on a centrifugal pump
that is powered by an electric motor. Here is the Lock and Tag out Procedure you would follow:
1. Turn the master electric switch to the OFF position.

2. Lock the switch in position so that it cannot be moved to the ON position. This may require
additional clamps, small chains, etc., if the lock will not fit. Place padlock on the device, lock it,
and keep key.
3. Place signed tag on the lock.
4. You can now work on the pump without fear of its being started.
5. After work is completed, remove the lock and any additional devices used and remove tag. The
equipment is now ready or normal operation.
6. If somebody had decided to do some additional work on the pump while you had it locked out,
then he should place his own lock on the switch with a tag leaving his name.
X. GUARDING
Most mechanical action or motion is potentially hazardous. The more powerful and complex the action,
the greater the hazard potential. When moving parts are guarded, the chance of accident or injury is
lessened.
1. Guards should be placed on all exposed moving parts of machinery when appropriate to protect
against contact by personnel.
2. When guards are removed for adjustment or maintenance, they should be replaced before the
machine is set into operation again.
3. Don't make the guard ineffective by leaving out bolts, blocking or tying into place. Each guard
should be properly and rigidly installed.
4. Tag machines when guards have been removed for repair so they will not be started before the
guards are replaced.
5. Report to your supervisor any missing, broken or improperly installed guards.
6. Safe guards should be designed to offer maximum protection to operators, passers-by and
repairmen.
7. Posting of warning signs and labels can also be an aid against potential hazards that are not
readily observable. Signs such as "No Smoking" "High Pressure", "Danger — High Voltage",
"Danger — Acid", and others should be placed at appropriate areas.
8. Space guards are often necessary and may be overlooked since this type of hazards is not as
common as moving machinery. Such guards are used to prevent falling or walking into hazardous
areas or material.
9. Guards must be erected of sufficient strength and rigidity to prevent contact with the hazard.
XI. LIFTING AND MATERIAL HANDLING
Physical differences make it impractical to establish safe lifting limits for all workers. Personal height and
weight do not necessarily indicate lifting ability. When it becomes necessary to lift or move a heavy object
from one point to another, the preliminary steps are:
1. Obtain any appropriate mechanical devices that will be of assistance, such as rollers, skids, hoists,
bars, tongs, etc.
2. Obtain the necessary personal protective equipment, such as gloves, aprons, etc. Clean leather —
faced gloves are normally the best for handling material.
3. Inspect the object to be moved to assure it is dry and that sharp edges, slivers, etc., can be
avoided.
4. Inspect the area and route of travel to assure tripping hazards are removed and clearances are
adequate.
5. Make a preliminary "heft" to be sure the load is within your lifting capacity. Get help if necessary.
In lifting the object, the worker should observe these principles:
1. Set feet solidly and spread comfortably. Usually more effective effort can be applied if one foot is
slightly ahead of the other.
2. Crouch as close to the load as possible, with the legs bent at about a 90degree angle at the knee.
Straightening up from a full squat require almost twice as much effort as does straightening up from
a crouch.
3. Keep the back as straight as possible. It may be far from vertical, but should not be arched.
4. Get a firm grip on the object, lifting one end slightly, if necessary, to get one hand under it.
5. To lift the object, straighten your legs and at the same time swing your back to a vertical position.
6. Lowering an object to the floor or ground is essentially the reverse of lifting it to keep the hands from
being pinched against the floor, one corner of a box or similar object should be set down first so that
the fingers can be removed from under the side.
Rules Worth Remembering:
Most of our lifting and material handling injuries will be eliminated if each employee is careful to:
1. Never lift more than what is comfortable for him. Obtain additional help if necessary.
2. Watch out for the safety of his fellow employee.
3. Keep fingers and toes out of pinch points when handling drums.
4. Make sure that clearances are adequate before moving the object.
5. Avoid entanglement of the object moved with other material in the area.
6. Keep back straight and use legs for lifting power.
XII. CHEMICALS — SOLVENTS — GASES FLAMABLE LIQUIDS
A. CHEMICALS:
In the industry today we find the use of chemical compounds growing by leaps and bounds. Some of
these are common everyday chemicals that pos no hazard to the user. Others can be very hazardous not
only to the user but also to others in the immediate work area.
Before we put a chemical to use in our operations, it should be checked to see what problems we may
encounter from a health hazard standpoint. All standard chemicals we purchase will have a description of
the potential hazards on the label. However, many of the chemical compounds we use are trade name
compounds, hence, it is necessary to contact the manufacturer to provide us a copy of the Safety Data
Sheet (SDS) known before as (Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
These chemicals may be classed as harmless, irritants, absorptive, corrosive, toxic or poisonous. Many
chemicals will have two or more of these characteristics. Some examples of each type mentioned above
are:
1. Harmless: Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) as used in some dry chemical fire extinguishers.
2. Irritants: Sodium chloride (common salt). Strong solution could irritate the eye or an open wound
but would not be harmful.
3. Absorptive: Benzene, carbon tetrachloride, DDT mixtures, mercury compounds, tetraethyl led,
etc. This type of chemical may be absorbed through the skin into the blood stream and can be
very hazardous. When using chemicals of this type, the following personal protective equipment
should be considered: Rubber gloves, protective clothing, respiratory protection or adequate
ventilation, eye protection, and in the case of tetraethyl lead ¬rubber boots.
4. Corrosive: Caustic soda, cresylic acid, lime, hydrochloric and sulfuric acids, etc. These chemicals
can cause very severe bums. When using this type of chemical, consider such equipment as
rubber gloves, protective clothing, eye protection, and hoods.
5. Toxic: Ammonia, carbon tetrachloride, chlorine, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, tetraethyl lead,
etc. These chemicals can cause very serious respiratory problems and even death when found in
the right concentrations. Consideration must be given to the use of respiratory protection, rubber
gloves, and protective clothing, depending on the chemical and its concentration.
6. Poisonous: All of the chemical mentioned in the absorptive, corrosive and toxic groups, are
poisonous if taken internally. If an employee swallows a poisonous chemical, he must receive
medical attention immediately.
Notes on Chemicals:
1. Chemicals should never be stored in unmarked containers.

2. Empty containers should be disposed of in a manner that will avoid creating hazards.
3. Personal Protective Equipment may consist of one or more of the following items: gloves, eye
protection, face shield, protective clothing, respirator, canister type mask, and self-contained
breathing apparatus.
4. Factors to consider are: amount being used, the hazard involved, conditions under which it is
used, type of ventilation available, etc.
5. If hazardous chemicals are spilled on clothing, the clothing should be removed immediately.
B. SOLVENTS:
Some of the solvents we use are slightly toxic and must be used with adequate ventilation. All solvents
are potentially harmful to the skin if excessively used and could possibly cause dermatitis. Always be sure
that the solvents used in your operations are safest and the best that can be obtained for the job that
needs to be done. Solvents should be stored in appropriately designed safety cans.
XIII. FIRE PROTECTION
A. FIRE SAFETY:
It is very important that each employee understand why, where, and how to use various types of
firefighting equipment. His life, the life of fellow worker, the lives of the general public, and property of
the Company and public may depend on this equipment and his ability to use it. We cannot take this
responsibility lightly.
The supervisor in charge is specifically responsible for assuring that:
1. The correct quantity and type of firefighting equipment is available.

2. This equipment is operable at all times.
3. The equipment is properly spaced and visible.
4. All personnel are trained in the use and maintenance of this equipment.
B. CLASSIFICATION OF FIRE:
CLASS MATERIAL
A Wood, cloth, paper, rags, and other

ordinary combustibles. Fight with water or Dry Chemical.
B Flammable liquid and gases. Fight with Purple K-Potassium

Bicarbonate or Foray.
C Electrically induced fire. Fight with dry chemical or Carbon Dioxide.
D Metal fires. Fight with Dry Chemical Metal-X.
Below is a brief discussion of the various firefighting materials available.
1. Water — good for Class A fires. Also used as coolant to prevent spread of fire.
2. Carbon Dioxide — Best available for electrical fires. Fair for small class B fires. Of limited value
under open air, windy conditions. Carbon Dioxide does not coat surrounding equipment, such as
expensive electrical switch gears.
3. Dry Chemical — Sodium Bicarbonate, Potassium Bicarbonate are effective for B — C fires. Mono
Ammonium Phosphate is effective against A-B-C fires.
C. SELECTION AND LOCATION OF FIRE FIGHTING EQUIPMENT:
The selection of firefighting equipment is dependent upon the type of fire likely to occur. The following
guidelines will cover most of our Company operations.
1. Provide Purple K (Potassium Bicarbonate) dry chemical for basic defense where petroleum, LPG,
and/or gas fires are the most likely to occur. A 20-lb portable fire extinguisher would suffice.
Where hazard justifies more than portable units, a 150-lbs wheeled type should be used.
2. Provide 20-lb Carbon Dioxide extinguisher to protect electrical switch gears and in the Kitchen
where LPG is used as fuel.
3. Offices should have stored pressure water extinguisher where ordinary combustibles are a
hazard. Where Computers are used, Carbon Dioxide fire extinguisher should be used.
4. A rule of the thumb for locating portable extinguishers is "A man should always be within 50 feet
of an extinguisher when in a hazardous area."
5. All firefighting equipment should be well marked, visible from all angles, accessible, and easily
transported.
D. MAINTENANCE:
It is poor economics to invest thousands of pesos in fire protection equipment and then find it will not
work when needed. When there is a fire burning, you do not have time to service an extinguisher. Regular
maintenance is required to assure reliability.
1. Inspect portable dry chemical and carbon dioxide extinguishers at least monthly.
2. It is good practice to always mount extinguishers that are operative on a hanger. Fired or
depleted extinguishers should be set on the floor or ground to signal the unit needs recharging.
3. Inspect wheeled type fire extinguishers monthly and perform the following:
3.1 Check pressure gauge on nitrogen cylinder, crack valve slightly, check movement of pressure
gauge to assure gauge is operative. Close valve.
3.2 Uncoil hose, rotate unit on side and bump, crack nozzle slightly and bled off pressure slowly.
Leave nozzle full open.
3.3 Remove fill cap, check that chemical is not packed and tank is full. 3.4 Check gaskets and
threads. Replace fill cap.
3.4 Recoil hose and record inspection on inspection tag and sign.
4. Fire water systems.
4.1 Start pump and engine weekly. Diesel engine to run for at least 30 minutes at idling speed.
Record inspection date on logbook.
4.2 Flush system and hydrant twice per year.
4.3 Check deliverability at hydrant yearly.
4.4 Hose, wrenches, etc., should be checked for general condition twice year. Hoses should be
pressure tested annually.
XIII. HOT WORK
Work which may introduce a source of ignition where flammable vapors may be present shall be
considered "Hot Work." Welding where flammables are stored is a typical example of "Hot Work."
A. General Precautions:
The following precautions should always be followed:
1. DO NOT PERFORM HOT WORK UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY.

2. Hot work shall be done under the supervision of persons who understand the fire and explosion
potential, assisted by workmen sufficiently skilled to safely carry out the associated operations.
3. Always monitor the area with a combustible gas detector before starting work and while work is
in progress.
4. Keep fire extinguishers close by.
5. Detailed planning is essential. Procedures and schedules must be determined and followed. Only
the supervisor in charge should permit exceptions after the procedure is finalized.
6. A hot work permit must be obtained prior to starting the work. Only one individual normally the
supervisor shall be designated to issue hot work permits.
7. All bystanders must be out of the area of exposure.
B. Hazardous Locations:
Hot work will not be permitted in or near rooms containing flammable vapors or liquid, or, on or inside closed
tanks or other containers which have held flammable liquids, until all combustible vapors have been
eliminated. If hot work is necessary in such location, all of the surrounding premises should be thoroughly
ventilated. Sufficient draft should be maintained to help prevent accumulation of explosive concentrations.
Local exhaust equipment should be provided for removal of hazardous gases and vapors that ventilation fails
to dispel.
C. Cutting and Welding:
Occasionally, emergency cutting and welding must be done without interrupting plant operations. Such
cutting and welding necessitate extreme caution land should be done only under proper supervision. The
man in charge of the operation should check the area with a combustible gas detector before any type of
torch is lighted.
D. Portable Electrical Equipment:

All electrical equipment such as drills, grinders, etc., should be approved for Class I, Division I locations as
specified by the National Electrical Code. If it is necessary to use unapproved electrical equipment, should be
considered as hazardous as a welding torch and is requiring the same precautions, permits and supervision.
XIV. VESSEL ENTRY
When men are required to enter vessels or tanks for the purpose of inspecting, cleaning, or repairing, it is
imperative that special precautions be taken to protect against the hazards present. There may be
exposure to:
A. Fire or explosion.
B. Toxic liquids or vapors.
C. Physical injury from slips falls and falling objects.
D. Lack of oxygen.
Following are some points to consider when engaged in vessel entry operations:
1. Preliminary Preparation
2. Inspect tank or vessel externally, survey the immediate area, train work crew, and inspect the
equipment. Personal protective equipment should be obtained along with breathing equipment,
if the vessel is not to be completely vapor free when entered. Dry chemical extinguishers must be
available and ready or immediate use.
3. Control Sources of Ignition
4. No smoking at any time. If the vessel must be entered before it is completely vapor free, only
explosion proof lights and extension cords will be used. These items should be switched on or off
only when outside the vessel. Until the vessel and area outside the vessel are completely vapor
free, sources of ignition such as steel tools, electrical tools, gas engines, etc. will be prohibited.
5. Isolate the Vessel
6. All connecting piping, including process and utility piping will be disconnected and blinded with
blinds of sufficient strength to hold any imposed pressure. It is not sufficient that a line be merely
disconnected since flammable vapors or liquids can still enter from the lines into the vessel
openings.
7. Working in the Vessel
8. Never enter a vessel until the supervisor has cleared for entry. The supervisor has cleared for
entry. The supervisor must clearly state that (a) it is safe to enter without breathing equipment,
or (b) breathing equipment must be worn and the proper type specified. One man must always
remain outside the vessel in constant communication with the worker inside. Safety lines should
be used.
This OSH MANUAL is just a written reminder , it is your CHOICE whether you will be wise to follow or a fool to
regret at the end...
Safety is a State of Mind, but being SAFE is a `MINDSET'.
Work safely, so that everyday you can be home and be with your
FAMILY.

DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE POLICY AND PROGRAM
In compliance with Article V of Republic Act. No. 9165, otherwise known as the Comprehensive
Drugs Act of 2002, and its implementing Rules and Regulations and DOLE Department Order No. 53-03,
series of 2003 (Guidelines for the implementation of a Drug-Free Workplace Policies and Programs for the
Private Sector), EON BULK HANDLING SERVICES INC. (the “Company”) hereby adopts the following policies
and programs to achieve a drug-free workplace.
I. COMPANY POLICY ON DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE
The Company explicitly prohibits:
• The use, possession, solicitation for, or sale of dangerous drugs on company premises or
while performing an assignment.
• Being impaired or under the influence of dangerous drugs away from the company, if such
impairment or influence adversely affects the employee’s work performance, the safety of
the employee or of others, or puts at risk the Company’s reputation.
• Possession, use, solicitation for, or sale of dangerous drugs away from the company
premises, if such activity or involvement adversely affects the employee’s work
performance, the safety of the employee or of others, or puts at risk the company’s
reputation.
• The presence of any detectable amount of dangerous drugs in the employee’s system
while at work, while on the premises of the Company, or while on Company business.
“Dangerous Drugs” include those listed in the Schedules annexed to the 1961 Single
Convention on Narcotic Drugs, as amended by the 1972 Protocol, and in the schedules
annexed to the 1971 Single Convention on Psychotropic Substances as enumerated in the
attached annex of R.A. 9165.
II. COMPANY PROGRAM ON DRUG-FREE WORKPLACE
A. MANDATORY DRUG TEST
1. To ensure that only those qualified shall be screened and recruited to prevent the
detrimental effects (e.g. lower productivity; poor decision making; increased accidents;
more compensation claims; and reduced team effort) which drug use and abuse may cause
in the workplace, the conduct of mandatory drug test shall be required for pre-
employment.
2. The Company designates “Health Quest Diagnostic Laboratory and Multi-Specialty Clinic
Inc.” a duly accredited drug testing center by the Department of Health (DOH), as its
authorized drug testing laboratory.
3. The Company may also conduct drug testing under any of the following circumstances:
3.1. RANDOM TESTING: Officer/employees may be selected at random for drug
testing at any interval determined by the Company.
3.2. FOR-CAUSE TESTING: The Company may ask an officer/employee to submit to a

drug test at any time it feels that the employee may be under the influence of drugs,
including, but not limited to, the following circumstances: evidence of drugs on or
about the employee’s person or in the employee’s vicinity, unusual conduct on the
employee’s part that suggests impairment or influence of drugs, negative performance
patterns, or excessive and unexplained absenteeism or tardiness.
3.3. POST-ACCIDENT TESTING: Any officer/employee involve in a “Near-Miss” incident

or “Work Accident” under circumstances that suggest possible use or influence of
drugs may be asked to submit to a drug test. As defined herein, “Near-Miss” means an
incident arising from or in the course of work which could have led to injuries or
fatalities of the workers and/or considerable damage to the employer had it not been
curtailed. “Work Accident” refer unplanned or unexpected occurrence that may or
may not result in personal injury, property damage, work stoppage or interference or
any combination thereof of which arises out of and in the course of employment.
4. All drug tests shall employ, among others, two (2) testing methods, the screening test
which will determine the positive result as well as the type of the drug used and the
confirmatory test. Where the confirmatory test turns positive, the Company’s Assessment
Team shall evaluate the results and determine the level of care and administrative
interventions that can be extended to the concerned employee.
5. The Company shall inform the officer/ employee who was subjected to a drug test of the
drug-test results whether positive or negative.
6. All costs of drug test shall be borne by the Company.
B. TREATMENT, REHABILITATION, AND REFERRAL
1. An officer/employee who, for the first time, is found positive of drug use, shall be

3.2 - Work Activities.
.6 When the work is completed, wet-wipe polyethylene sheeting and flooring
and if necessary, other areas close by with a damp rag.
.7 Visually inspect the area for any remaining dust and wet wipe as
necessary.
.8 If installed, remove polyethylene sheeting from air return and exhaust
vents.
.9 Where practical, transport debris after hours using least congested and
most direct routes. If any debris is spilled outside the work area,
immediately wet-wipe debris.
.10 Clean all tools and equipment before removal from the work area.
.2 .Class B - Medium Scale Project (Dust producing activities disturbing greater than one (1)
square meter and less than 30 square meters of material) with anticipated moderate
dust levels that are typically one shift or more in duration.
.1 Examples include:
.1 Sanding several sheets of gypsum board.
.2 Electrical work above ceiling tiles where general debris is known above the
ceiling.
.3 Removing numerous ceiling tiles in an area.
.4 New wall construction.
.2 Carry out the Work as follows:
.1 Determine the most effective way of isolating the work area from
occupants (i.e. using plastic barriers or by sealing off doors).
.2 Complete all items specified under small scale projects.
.3 While performing the work, limit the dust generated by removing the
materials in sections, lightly misting the material as necessary. Debris shall
be bagged immediately for disposal. In addition to wet wiping, HEPA
filtered vacuum systems shall be employed where practical to limit
airborne dust.
.4 When the task is completed, HEPA vacuum and/or wet wipe the
polyethylene sheeting.
.5 Prior to removing any temporary wall partitions from floor to ceiling or
polyethylene barriers, a final inspection shall be preformed by the Site
Safety Officer or designate to ensure proper clean up has been completed.
This inspection shall be documented by the Contractor and made available
at the request of the Owner’s Representative.
.6 Establishment of containment may result in the accumulation of dust
within the enclosure. As such, the need for respiratory protection and
decontamination would be greater than for small scale projects (i.e. N95
half face respirator with body covering).
.3 Class C - Large Scale Projects (Dust Producing Activities disturbing greater than 30 meters
of material with anticipated high dust levels and typically involves multiple work shifts.
.1 Examples include:
.1 Major demolition or construction.
.2 Extensive renovations to wall or ceiling surfaces.
.3 Generating significant amounts of concrete dust.
.2 Carry out the Work as follows:
.1 Complete all items as prescribed under the Medium Scale Projects section.
.2 If the work produces dust that cannot be limited by removal in sections or
misting and the work area configuration allows, use HEPA filtered negative
air units with the intake directly across from the dust generating activity.
Exhaust the HEPA unit outside the building.
.3 If using a disposal cart or container to transport debris within the building,
ensure the lid is tightly secured and the wheels are clean prior to exiting
the work area.
.4 If local source capture is employed (i.e. HEPA filtered power tool) and no
significant debris anticipated then treat as a medium scale project.
.5 Negative air units shall be left operating at the completion of cleanup, for
the duration stipulated in Table 4, CAN/CSA Z317.13-F07.
.6 Windows, doors, exhaust vents and supply intakes shall be sealed off in
dust generating areas. Upper seals must be employed where necessary to
prevent the spread of dust into adjacent areas.
.7 The contractor must be able to show that the work zone is negatively
pressurized in relation to adjacent occupied areas.
DUST MANAGEMENT POLICY
PART 3 GENERAL
3.1 SUMMARY
.1 Where building related projects involve work that could potentially disturb asbestos or
lead based paints, disturbances must be carefully controlled by registered abatement
contractors in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Regulations (OHS)

that nuisance dust, not containing asbestos or lead, is controlled in an effective manner.
.2 Section includes:
.1 Ensuring any maintenance, repair, construction or renovation activity that
impacts building materials or creates dust is performed in such a way as to
eliminate, minimize, contain and clean up any and all dust generated by the
activity. This applies to work preparation, work activities and post-work activities.
.2 This applies to, but is not limited to, the following types of dust generating
activities:
.1 Disturbing gypsum board, plaster or other surfacing materials.
.2 Disturbing concrete or wood containing materials.
.3 Handing or disturbing fibrous building insulation.
.4 Generating welding fumes: in addition to the requirements of this

A. Hazard Assessment for PPE

Safety Officer, in conjunction with Supervisors, will conduct a walk-through survey of each
work area to identify sources of work hazards. Each survey will be documented using the
Hazard Assessment Certification Form, which identifies the work area surveyed, the person
conducting the survey, findings of potential hazards, and date of the survey. Safety Officer
will keep the forms in the Navotas Fishport Yard
Safety Officer will conduct, review, and update the hazard assessment for PPE whenever
• a job changes
• new equipment or process is installed
• there has been an accident
• whenever a supervisor or employee requests it
• or at least every year
Any new PPE requirements that are developed will be added into written accident prevention
program.
B. Selection of PPE
Once the hazards of a workplace have been identified, Safety Officer will determine if the
hazards can first be eliminated or reduced by methods other than PPE, i.e., methods that do
not rely on employee behavior, such as engineering controls (refer to Appendix B –
Controlling Hazards).
If such methods are not adequate or feasible, then Safety Officer will determine the
suitability of the PPE presently available; and as necessary, will select new or additional
equipment which ensures a level of protection greater than the minimum required to protect
our employees from the hazards (refer to Appendix C – Selection of PPE). Care will be taken
to recognize the possibility of multiple and simultaneous exposure to a variety of hazards.
Adequate protection against the highest level of each of the hazards will be recommended
for purchase.
All personal protective clothing and equipment will be of safe design and construction for the
work to be performed and will be maintained in a sanitary and reliable condition. Only those
items of protective clothing and equipment that meet ANSI (American National Standards
Institute) standards or items prescribed in the DOLE list of accredited PPE supplier will be
procured or accepted for use.
Affected employees whose jobs require the use of PPE will be informed of the PPE selection
and will be provided PPE by EON BULK HANDLING SERVICES INC. Services at no charge.
Careful consideration will be given to the comfort and proper fit of PPE in order to ensure
that the right size is selected and that it will be used.
C. Training
Any worker required to wear PPE will receive training in the proper use and care of PPE
before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE. Periodic retraining will be
offered to PPE users as needed. The training will include, but not necessarily be limited to,
the following subjects:
• When PPE is necessary to be worn

• What PPE is necessary
• How to properly don, doff, adjust, and wear PPE
• The limitations of the PPE
• The proper care, maintenance, useful life, and disposal of the PPE
After the training, the employees will demonstrate that they understand how to use PPE
properly, or they will be retrained.
Training of each employee will be documented by the Safety Offcer.
D. Retraining
The need for retraining will be indicated when
• an employee’s work habits or knowledge indicates a lack of the necessary

understanding, motivation, and skills required to use the PPE (i.e., uses PPE
improperly)
• new equipment is installed
• changes in the work place make previous training out-of-date
• changes in the types of PPE to be used make previous training out-of-date
E. Cleaning and Maintenance of PPE
It is important that all PPE be kept clean and properly maintained. Cleaning is particularly
important for eye and face protection where dirty or fogged lenses could impair vision.
Employees must inspect, clean, and maintain their PPE according to the manufacturers’
instructions before and after each use (see attached). (Attach a copy of the manufacturers’
cleaning and care instructions for all PPE provided to your employees). Supervisors are
responsible for ensuring that users properly maintain their PPE in good condition.
Personal protective equipment must not be shared between employees until it has been
properly cleaned and sanitized. PPE will be distributed for individual use whenever possible.
If employees provide their own PPE, make sure that it is adequate for the work place
hazards, and that it is maintained in a clean and reliable condition.
Defective or damaged PPE will not be used and will be immediately discarded and replaced.
NOTE: Defective equipment can be worse than no PPE at all. Employees would
avoid a hazardous situation if they knew they were not protected; but they would get
closer to the hazard if they erroneously believed they were protected, and therefore
would be at greater risk.
It is also important to ensure that contaminated PPE which cannot be decontaminated is

disposed of in a manner that protects employees from exposure to hazards.
F. Safety Disciplinary Policy
EON BULK HANDLING SERVICES INC. believes that a safety and health Accident Prevention Program
is unenforceable without some type of disciplinary policy. Our company believes that in order to
maintain a safe and healthful workplace, the employees must be cognizant and aware of all
company, State, and Federal safety and health regulations as they apply to the specific job duties
required. The following disciplinary policy is in effect and will be applied to all safety and health
violations.
The following steps will be followed unless the seriousness of the violation would dictate going
directly to Step 2 or Step 3.
1. A first time violation will be discussed orally between company supervision and the
employee. This will be done as soon as possible.
2. A second time offense will be followed up in written form and a copy of this written
documentation will be entered into the employee’s personnel folder.
3. A third time violation will result in time off or possible termination, depending on the
seriousness of the violation.
