Number of Fatalities

2. Our Challenge - Fatalities

Although we believe to be in the top quartile in terms of LTIF of our
industry, we need to take a different approach to eliminate fatalities and
serious incidents:

Our GOAL is ZERO :

Zero incidents and Zero fatalities

3. Learning from Others The Old Paradigm

The Old Paradigm : the Heinrich Accident Triangle

The cornerstone is a numerical relationship between unsafe acts, minor

injuries, severe injuries and fatalities.
Studies, as well as our own safety performance, demonstrate this is not
true as we have been successful at reducing (minor) incidents but have
NOT been successful at reducing fatalities.
To eliminate or reduce severe incidents and fatalities a different approach
is needed that focuses on the potential outcome of incidents rather than
the actual outcome.

3. Learning from Others The New Paradigm

*

* Based on: New Findings on Serious Injuries and Fatalities - BST

3. Learning from Others High Severity Incidents

The New Paradigm teaches us that we need to focus on the potential
rather than the actual outcome of incidents.
Therefore, APM Terminals has introduced the concept of high severity
incidents based on a simplified Risk Assessment Matrix to assess the
potential severity of incidents.
LIKELIHOOD
Tolerability to be
endorsed by Senior
Management Team

IMPACT

High severity incidents are

incidents that could have
ended up in the red zone
of the Risk Assessment
Matrix:

Control to
As Low as
Reasonably
Practicable
(ALARP)
Continuous
improvement

4. Our Safety Strategy

Our Safety Strategy centers on three Focus Areas:
Culture first and foremost culture is about leadership, we need our
leaders to demonstrate visible safety leadership. Culture is also about
people taking responsibility for their own safety and that of the people they
work with: If you see it you own it.

Technical Integrity technical integrity is about improving process

safety, for example by eliminating the risks associated with the interaction
of moving equipment and people.

HSSE Management Systems we will develop a Global HSSE

Management System that includes Global minimum safety standards to
reduce risks to an acceptable level.

If you see it, you own it!

Everyone needs to take responsibility for their own
safety and for that of our colleagues and our visitors, to
intervene when we see an unsafe act or an unsafe
condition.
Johan Breukelaar, February 2012

4. Our Safety Strategy

For each of the underlying improvement areas we have formulated an
Ideal State specifying where we want to be in 2015.
We have formulated actions that we need to take to achieve the ideal
states for each of the improvement areas.
Together these actions make up our Safety Improvement Plan.

We firmly believe that executing our Safety Improvement Plan will deliver
excellence in Safety.

Our Goal is ZERO: zero incidents and zero fatalities
