4. Leadership and Administration
4.1 Leadership and Administration

It is the basic safety and health policy of this company that no task is so
important that an employee must violate a safety and health rule or take
a risk of injury or illnesses in order to get the job done.
Employees are required to comply with all company safety and health
rules and are encouraged to actively participate in identifying ways to
make our company a safer place to work. Require programs and
examination to our employee to avoid spreading of illnesses like HIV-
Aids, Hepatitis and tuberculosis and the corresponding controls to make
our workplaces safe and healthy to work with.
Supervisors are responsible for the safety and health of their employees
and as a part of their daily duties must check the workplace for unsafe
and unhealthy conditions, watch employees for unsafe and unhealthy
actions and take prompt action to eliminate any hazards.
Management will do its part by devoting the resources necessary to form

a safety committee composed of management and elected employees.
We will develop a system for identifying and correcting hazards. We will
plan for foreseeable emergencies. We will provide initial and ongoing
training for employees and supervisors. And, we will establish a
disciplinary policy to ensure that company safety and health policies are
followed.

(See Annex No. 2 and 7 for APEX Oretrans Corp. HIRAC Matrix)

4.2 Organizational Rules

Employees are expected to use good judgment when doing their work
and to follow established safety rules. We have established a
disciplinary policy to provide appropriate consequences for failure to
follow safety rules. This policy is designed not so much to punish as to
bring unacceptable behavior to the employee's attention in a way that
the employee will be motivated to make corrections. The following
consequences apply to the violation of the same rule or the same
unacceptable behavior.
Note: All violations and/or infractions against the provisions of the
Company Code of Conduct are subject to Disciplinary Committee
Hearing/Conference as due process and any employee/s may subject
to immediate termination and/or monetary sanctioning when
administrative and/or safety violation/s and/or accident/incident/s
involvement places the employee, co-workers & company property at a
high-risk of partial/permanent disability or death and/or property
damage/s regardless of the employment status.
(See Annex No. 3 for APEX Oretrans Corporation Code of Conduct)

safely and that the employee file documents the training. The coordinator
will make sure that an outline and materials list is available for each training

4.7.1 Planned Inspection
APEX ORETRANS CORPORATION is committed to aggressively
identifying hazardous conditions and practices which are likely to
result in injury or illness to employees. We will take prompt action to
eliminate any hazards we find. In addition to reviewing injury records
and investigating incidents for their causes, management and the
safety committee will regularly check the workplace for hazards as
described as follows:
Annual Site Inspection

Once a year an inspection team made up of members of the safety
committee will do a wall-to-wall walkthrough inspection of the entire
worksite. They will write down any safety hazards or potential
hazards they find. The results of this inspection will be used to
eliminate or control obvious hazards, target specific work areas for
more intensive investigation, assist in revising the checklists used
during regular monthly safety inspections and as part of the annual
review of the effectiveness of our accident prevention program.
Monthly Safety Inspection

Each month, before the regularly scheduled safety committee
meeting, safety committee representatives will inspect all areas for
hazards using the standard safety inspection checklist. They will talk
to co-workers about their safety concerns. Committee members will
report any hazards or concerns to the whole committee for
consideration. The results of the area inspection and any action
taken will be posted in the affected area. Occasionally, committee
representatives may agree to inspect each other's area rather than
their own. This brings a fresh pair of eyes to look for hazards.

Safety Inspection
A necessary activity to be conducted along with the planned
inspections, this activity is for the purpose of ensuring all concerned
department especially the mine operations on their usage and
utilization of deployed Personnel Carriers, Heavy Equipment and
Dump Trucks together with its drivers and operators assuring proper
handling based on Safe Operating Procedures and Guidelines
4.7.1.1 Accident/Incident Investigation

If an employee dies while working or is not expected to
survive, or if any employee is in-patient hospitalized as a result
of a work-related incident, APEX ORETRANS
CORPORATION will contact our client within 24 hours after
becoming aware of the incident. Safety Officer must talk with
a representative of the department. Safety Officer must
report: the employer’s name, location and time of the incident,
number of employees involved the extent of injuries or illness,
a brief description of what happened and the name and phone
number of a contact person.
• DO NOT DISTURB the scene except to aid in rescue or

make the scene safe.
Whenever there is an incident that results in death or serious

injuries that have immediate symptoms, a preliminary
investigation will be conducted by the immediate supervisor
of the injured person/s, a person designated by
management, an employee representative of the safety
committee, and any other persons whose expertise would
help the investigation

The investigation team will take written statements from

witnesses, photograph the incident scene and equipment
involved. The team will also document as soon as possible
after the incident, the condition of any damaged equipment
and any anything else in the work area that may be relevant.
The team will make a written (OHS INCIDENT REPORTING
AND INVESTIGATION FORM) and RCA (Root- Cause
Analysis) of its findings. The report will include a sequence of
events leading up to the incident, conclusions about the
incident and any recommendations to prevent recurrence in
the future. The report will be reviewed by the safety committee
at its next regularly scheduled meeting. When immediate
supervisor becomes aware of an employee injury where the
injury was not serious enough to warrant a team investigation
as described above, the supervisor shall still write an "OHS
Incident Reporting and Investigation Form" and forward them
to Safety Officer
4.7.1.2 Accident/Incident Analysis

APEX Oretrans corporation understands that incidents do
occur due to factors concerning and involving basically
PEOPLE, ENVIRONMENT, MATERIALS & EQUIPMENT,
from these factors also we can identify and control Hazards
that may risk the Safety and Health of every worker and the
very environment and communities nearby.

Hence, we come up with an analysis procedure to our work-

related incidents that caused mainly of Near-Miss, Safety
Violations, and Incident (Property Damages) based on our
submitted “Incident Summary and Cases Update”.
This analysis will be focused on eliminating incidence cases

near-misses, violations and damages and continually monitor
each and every activity per shift on the Mine-pit Haul Road,
Access roads, Dumping Areas, Motor pool, other job-related
workplace and mine site. Most observed and reviewed cases
based on the data to be submitted and reported will be
addressed based on the countermeasures identified during
reviews, and depending on the severity of the cases additional
awareness drive and safe practices will be implemented to
eliminate recurrence.
