Health, Safety & Environmental Bulletin No 132

S Martin – 02 April 2009

Hand Injuries & Head Injury

Please see enclosed 3 self explanatory ExxonMobil Safety Alerts that relate to two hand
injuries and a head injury.

Please remember that the last minute risk assessment is an ongoing process, not just
something you do when completing your paperwork.

Always check your JSA to see the minimum type of glove that you need to wear for
each specific task. If you have not got a glove type that matches the JSA stated
minimum, contact your supervisor and DO NOT START WORK.

If you have any comments on the glove types specified in the JSAs, or any other
constructive input into them, please let us know; we are always happy to listen and
implement suggestions as part of the ongoing development of our safe systems of work.

Our individual safety is not solely in our hands, we have to rely on those around us to steer us away
from danger and warn us of potential hazards. We need safety awareness to be instinctive and form an
integral part of our working lives; it is this, in turn, that may save the lives of others.

If you have any queries regarding the Safety Bulletin content or require further information please
contact any staff member of Xmo Strata Ltd.
