infrastructure projects that have been implemented in Greece, by providing a variety of
services, such as basic and detailed engineering, project management and construction
supervision services. Indicative projects include:

Management respectively consists of the following phases:
Page 6 of 19
CEYLON PETROLEUM CORPORATION
The following paragraphs of this chapter present the methodology used for:
4.3.1 Risk Identification and Assessment of Hazards to Occupational Health and Safety
and of Environmental Aspects
For the identification of hazards and environmental aspects two different procedures are
followed as presented in the chart below:

The risk assessment data for occupation a health and safety (Written Occupation al Risk
Assessment) and the environmental aspects are updated regularly and whenever necessary
due to the following:

the company establishes objectives, targets and program(s). The objectives and targets are
a result of the Management’s aim and effort to continuously improve the performance and
overall implementation of the System anticipating, preventing and reducing any negative
impact to human health and safety as well as to the environment. Wherever possible the
targets are measureable.
The programs define the actions that the company has to take in order to implement the
objectives and targets that it has set. The programs include:
The company has instituted relevant procedure that defines the objectives, targets and
Environmental program(s).
ASPROFOS corporate management has appointed specific responsibilities and roles for its

responsible for the Integrated Management System related to Health and Safety on the
one hand and the Environment on the other.
Especially for occupational health and safety a significant contribution is made by the
statutorily-mandated bodies within the company. The Safety Engineer and the
Occupational Doctor contribute with their own proposals and advice to increase the
company’s aware ness and responsiveness to issues concerning health and safety.
The company’s employees are responsible for adapting and complying with the procedures
that have been established so that all activities are carried out with safety and without risk
to their health, while keeping the protection of the environment in mind.
According to the activities carried out by each employee and the impact, which these
activities can have on humans and the environment, the following factors are examined:
- Academic knowledge
- Experience and skills
- Necessity for provision of additional training which will help improve employee
performance regarding the application of the HSE aspects of the Integrated
Management System, which will reduce the possibility of risks of accidents and as
far as environmental protection is concerned, will anticipate any negative
environmental impact.
All persons that can have an impact on the Occupational Health, Safety and Environment
receive appropriate training before assuming any responsibilities. This training is named
introductory training.
Through the course of each year the following activities are carried out:
Training needs and requirements can come about as result of various factors such as:
Page 11 of 19
CEYLON PETROLEUM CORPORATION
The training requirements and needs are presented to the Management in order to acquire
adequate resources and approval to plan their implementation.
The company has established documented procedures relevant to training, skills and
experience.
Company issues regarding matters related to Occupational Health, Safety and the
Environment are communicated to the company’s personnel and to all external parties
concerned. This communication may encompass:
Issues arising from communication related to the Integrated Management System are
reviewed during the annual Management System review (see paragraph 4.6 below).
Internal communication issues regarding occupational health and safety are of particular
interest. The employees and the established bodies (i.e. Safety Engineer, Occupational
Doctor) consult with Management on a quarterly basis. The personnel’s opinion and their
participation regarding the improvement of the System are taken into serious
consideration.

The company identifies the operations and activities related to the identified risks to
occupational health and safety as well as environmental aspects.
The inspection of activities related to identified risks to occupational health and safety as
well as identified environmental risks contain the established practices which reduce
negative and increase positive impacts and repercussions to humans and the environment.
These practices may contain:
Emergencies are natural or technical conditions that can lead to dangerous situations to
humans and the environment. Emergencies are identified during the design of the system.

4.5 Checking
The company has established a system that monitors and measures parameters that have
substantial repercussions to occupational health and safety and to the environment. These
measurements pertain to the performance of the System and can refer to:
Wherever measuring equipment is used, it should be examined for its reliability (calibration
/ precision).
The company is committed to apply the laws and regulatory provisions regarding
occupational health and safety and the environment. Compliance to all these provisions is
examined:
- During the daily application of the System by monitoring the criteria that have been
set on the operational activities and are a result of the legal and regulatory
provisions
- During regular inspections for conformity with statutes (laws and permits) and
practices which are executed on the basis of Internal Audits and Inspections
- During the evaluation of new laws and regulatory provisions or amendments

Records from evaluation results regarding compliance are kept and reviewed during
Management Review (see paragraph 4.6 below). In the event of diversions, Management
takes all necessary actions to eliminate them so that compliance with the statutory
provisions is ensured.
Incidents are events related to work that have caused or have the possibility of causing a
work related accident or occupational disease (regardless of severity) or even death. These
incidents are classified as follows:
The company has created an appropriate documented procedure in order to identify not
only non-conformities, but also opportunities for improvement. After the identification of
the non-conformities, possible future non-conformities or opportunities for improvement,

The frequency of audits can vary according to the variance shown by each activity and
registered findings / non-conformities during the year or from previous non-conformities.
The frequency of audits cannot be less than once per year for all company activities
The Management’s review is one of the basic elements of the Integrated Management
System. The review takes place at least on a yearly basis and its agenda includes as a
minimum the issues stated in paragraphs 4.6 of the OHSAS 18001 / ISO 14001 standards.
Apart from those, the following issues are also included:
The reviews bring about an improvement to the System and clarify needs for resources and
for updating of the policies and objectives/targets.
