FACTS
1. The ExxonMobil Safety-Reporting Guidelines are
based on the regulations of the U.S
Occupational and Health Administration (OSHA).
2. The following would not be First Aid Treatment, it
would be considered Medical Treatment Injuries
(MTI), per OSHA Standards:
First Aid Treatment
First Aid – specified list
1. Using a nonprescription medication at nonprescription
strength.
2. Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of the
skin.
3. Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids™,
gauze pads, etc.; or using butterfly bandages or Steri-
Strips™.
4. Using hot or cold therapy (e.g. compresses, soaking,
whirlpools).
5. Using any non-rigid means of support, such as elastic
bandages, wraps, non-rigid back belts, etc.
6. Using temporary immobilization devices while transporting
an accident victim (e.g., splints, slings,neck collars, back
boards, etc.).
7. Drilling of a fingernail or toenail to relieve pressure, or
draining fluid from a blister.
8. Using eye patches.
9. Removing foreign bodies from the eye using only irrigation
or a cotton swab.

the eye by irrigation, tweezers, cotton swabs or other simple
means.
11. Using finger guards.
12. Using massages.
13. Drinking fluids for relief of heat stress.
3. In earlier years, injuries where
medical "glue" had been used were
considered as first aid incidents.
Based on the change in the OSHA
Standard, the use of “glue” is now
classified as a Medical Treatment
Incident (MTI).
4. Injured personnel must receive adequate type of
treatment, as per the severity of the injury:
Medical treatment should be administered
only by trained professionals.
First Aid treatments applied at the job sites
should only include the following:
Any medication at prescription strength.
Any immunizations (besides Tetanus).

staples, tapes/glues, etc.

Rules of Engagement (Minimum Requirements)
The following Rules of Engagement describe the minimum
requirements to handle Corporate Recordable Injuries (Medical
Treatment and more serious).
However you are strongly encouraged to apply the same promptness
in contacting ExxonMobil by phone, every time a person is involved in
a minor injury (first aid) or a near incident with high potential.
High Potential means - people could have been injured or the
environment damaged.

For Everything beyond First Aid (CORPORATE RECORDABLE):
1. Get help immediately (secure personnel and site).

6. Supervisor must ensure that the health provider is aware of the possibility of
prescribing light duty if:

Once lost time has been incurred, i.e. worker does not show up the
next day, the classification cannot be changed any more.
6. A clear understanding of limitations must be obtained before the injured is
sent home by the health provider or returns to the workplace, to ensure the
person is not placed at risk for additional injury or complications.

Incident Classification
• Incident classification is not an easy exercise and the final
classification is ExxonMobil’s call
– Gather the facts early
– Involve the SHE Coordinator in determining the classification
– Seek advice from ExxonMobil MOH where required
• Become familiar with these rules
– Ability to work prevails over willingness
– Restricted work should always be considered as an option
– Pre-existing medical conditions aggravated by work need proper medical
assessment
THE KEY TO MANAGING INCIDENT CLASSIFICATION IS
OBTAINING ALL THE FACTS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE
Hinweis der Redaktion
Good morning everyone,
Today I am going to speak about what happened in third quarter of 2005 as far as safety, I will let you know where we are, and what to expect in the remainder of the year.
Facts
In the past few months we encountered several serious incidents involving working at height ( fall through and from canopy - Am South , fall from scaffold Asia Pack, etc ) and in most cases it had severe consequences for the persons involved. ( Fatality and LTI)
General Statistics on fatalities during working at height in the construction industry show where the injury occured.
Almost 70 % resulted from improper behaviour of the individual involved. PPE was either available but the individual was not wearing it, or the worker was, like in the Am South case wearing the fall protection device but did not apply it.
Discussion : What are typical hazards associated with use of scaffolds / ladders / working on buildings / structures
For Scaffolds:
improper maintenance / erection-dismantling procedures
incorrect methods for mounting dismounting
overloading absence of guardrails, scaffold component failures, defective PPE, absence or improper PPE
For Ladders:
Ladder slip top-to bottom
Overreaching, slipping on rungs/steps.
Defective equipment and improper ladder selection for a given task
For Buildings/structures:
Hazards represented by falls from ot through roof and floor openings and edges,
Structural framing, skylight fixtures, bridges, tanks,
Window openings and platforms
Prevention
Remind people of the sound safety principles when using ladders/ scaffolds / safety harnesses
Engage the brain before the hands
Always apply the drill time after time
think before you act,
avoid undesired behavior
intervene when you see others working unsafely
Safety perimeter
As part of the job preparation take the time to
properly set up your safety perimeter
install your “safety nets“
