Executives, employees, related persons at all levels, vendors and contractors must be accountable for achieving objectives and goals of GC, as well as being a role model in the development and perpetuation of the Quality, Security, Safety, Occupational Health, Environmental, and Business Continuity Management System. Sufficient resources shall be provided to enable participation and contribution by all executives, employees, related personnel at all levels, vendors and contractors, in the adoption of policies and putting them into action through development and training, and communicating these policies to all related parties to achieve internal and intra-organizational collaboration, for the sustainability of the organization henceforth. In 2023, GC established the following strategies and guidelines for environmental, occupational health, and safety management to achieve its defined goals. 1. Safety Management is categorized into two types 1.1) Personal Safety Personal safety is a critical aspect in GC’s business operation. To better control accident statistics and strive towards the goal of being ranked in the first quartile by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP), GC has adopted the concept of operational discipline (OD) according to the DuPont methodology as well as engineering control strategies to manage inappropriate safety measures, which may resul t in worker injuries and have impacts on stakeholders across the value chain. To this end, GC has initiated various personal safety projects, as outlined below: Early Detection of Low-Performance Contractors GC has strengthen its contractor safety management by implement ing a process to detect lowperformance contractors early in order to prevent severe accidents involving contractors, which account for 90% of all accidents. The following steps have been undertaken: Strengthen inspection and daily performance assessment conducted by supervisors and area owners. Conducting weekly coaching and feedback sessions for low-performance contractors. Incorporating performance results into the joint evaluation process of suppliers with the procurement team (quarterly and annually). Hand-Injury Reduction Through Engineering Control GC has taken steps to mitigate risks for operators, focusing on developing special tools for various engineering maintenance tasks. The following additional measures have been implemented: Identifying job groups with high risks for hand injuries, categorized into six equipment groups: flange removal and assembly tools, hydraulic flange spreaders, flange alignment tools, pipe handl ing equipment, and grat ing l i ft ing equipment. Enhancing oversight by st ipulat ing the mandatory use of special equipment in the six equipment groups in the terms of reference (TOR) of every contract; and adding a requirement on the use of special tools for contractor selection and performance evaluation. On-site Execution Strengthening Through Permit to Work and Operational Discipline (OD) GC has strengthened its on-site execution through permit to work and operational discipline, placing emphasis on ensuring that key players understand and adhere to critical steps. In addition, an e-Permit system has been developed and deployed, while digital systems have been introduced to lock out/ tag out (LOTO) and job safety environment analysis (JSEA) in order to improve the efficiency of control processes and monitoring. 1.2) Process Safety GC has been working actively since 2017 to elevate its process safety standards by applying various innovations as well as developing and improving all of its successful pilot projects. The process safety projects implemented by GC include the following: Strengthening Bowtie Barrier Validation GC has introduced a bowtie analysis to the assessment of potential hazards and accidents and impacts of catastrophic events or Major Accident Events (MAE). GC has intensified the assessment of the effectiveness of each bowtie by verifying the data accuracy and completeness and integrated the bowties into the internal audit of the annual process safety management in accordance with the regulations of the Industrial Estate Authority of Thailand (IEAT). The goal is to ensure that the established measures are in place to prevent accidents in the manufacturing process. 196
