Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 323

4 October 2012

Hand Injury

Please see enclosed self-explanatory bulletin that was shared with us by ExxonMobil.

This incident shows the need to ensure you do not carry out any work you are not competent to do.

Being competent to carry out a task is not just about training and knowledge, but includes having the
necessary experience, skill, work instructions, tools and attitude.

If you are asked to carry out a task you are not competent to do, contact your line manager
immediately.

We are all a product of learning. Every skill we have; everything we know; everything we believe and everything
we do has been learned throughout the course of our lives. Some of us learn best by studying graphs and
charts, some through visual presentations, and some by reading detailed text books. It is important that we
receive information in a format that works for us as individuals! That’s why at Xmo Strata we use a variety of
communication platforms such as bulletins, newsletters, videos etc. However, if you feel there is a better way for
us to share health and safety information, please let us know. Ultimately, your safety is in your hands – but we
will do all we can to keep you well informed!
