Česká rafinérská Integrated<br />

Management System Policy<br />

HEALTH AND SAFETY<br />

– ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION –<br />

– QUALITY – ASSET PROTECTION<br />

Česká rafinérská is engaged in the processing of crude<br />

oil for its customers (commercial companies of the<br />

Shareholders) <strong>and</strong> produces crude oil products in two<br />

refineries, located in Litvínov <strong>and</strong> Kralupy nad Vltavou,<br />

Czech Republic.<br />

Česká rafinérská has implemented <strong>and</strong> maintains an<br />

Integrated Management System, components of which<br />

are a <strong>Health</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Safety</strong> Management System, an <strong>Environment</strong>al<br />

Management System, a <strong>Quality</strong> Assurance<br />

System <strong>and</strong> Asset Protection. Česká rafinérská observes<br />

Integrated Management System<br />

3.1. INTEGRATED MANAGEMENT SYSTEM ČESKÁ<br />

RAFINÉRSKÁ<br />

Česká rafinérská has implemented <strong>and</strong> maintains an Integrated<br />

Management System. The Integrated Management System is the<br />

result of the interconnection of the occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety<br />

protection, quality management, <strong>and</strong> environment management<br />

systems into a single functional logical unit; asset protection is an<br />

integral part of it.<br />

Česká rafinérská‘s Integrated Management System is based on<br />

five cornerstones – prevention, observance of legal <strong>and</strong> other relevant<br />

requirements, quality product for the customer, communication<br />

with third party stakeholders, <strong>and</strong> constant improvement.<br />

Česká rafinérská is aware that an up-to-date approach to corporate<br />

governance rests on processes, procedures, powers, <strong>and</strong> responsibilities<br />

defined clearly in advance. For Česká rafinérská, the<br />

Integrated Management System represents a tool with which it is<br />

possible to manage processes, control their internal mechanisms,<br />

monitor <strong>and</strong> evaluate them constantly, adopt preventive measures<br />

for the improvement of business performance, <strong>and</strong>/or adopt corrective<br />

measures aimed at eliminating the causes of undesirable<br />

emergencies.<br />

In <strong>2009</strong>, too, the emphasis was on prevention <strong>and</strong> all decisions<br />

were assessed with respect to the health <strong>and</strong> safety, the environment,<br />

assets, <strong>and</strong> customer satisfaction. Česká rafinérská prefers<br />

a proactive approach to monitoring <strong>and</strong> managing the impact of its<br />

activity on its customers, the health <strong>and</strong> safety, the environment,<br />

<strong>and</strong> property. This is aided by the process of risk identification <strong>and</strong><br />

evaluation, including the definition of measures to eliminate or minimise<br />

them, <strong>and</strong> strengthening control mechanisms with which<br />

risks are managed. Also of importance is the set process of reporting,<br />

tracking, <strong>and</strong> investigation into the causes of emergencies,<br />

including the reporting of almost-accidents <strong>and</strong> risk situations.<br />

Česká rafinérská continued implementing the process safety procedure,<br />

which plays a major role in the prevention of emergencies,<br />

in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

Investment projects implemented in <strong>2009</strong> have had a major contribution<br />

to the improvement of the results in environmental protection,<br />

occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety, <strong>and</strong> quality management.<br />

In <strong>2009</strong>, the Central <strong>Safety</strong>, <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>and</strong> Asset<br />

Protection Team continued to operate as a management <strong>and</strong><br />

advisory body for the Chief Executive Officer. The Team meets<br />

once a month to check <strong>and</strong> review issues related to the safety <strong>and</strong><br />

protection of health of Česká rafinérská’s staff <strong>and</strong> contractors’<br />

employees, environment protection, quality, <strong>and</strong> assets.<br />

Česká rafinérská will continue acting in such a manner so as to<br />

meet the objective of the Integrated Management System, which<br />

is to ensure that all customer requirements are met at the highest<br />

possible quality <strong>and</strong> at the required time while optimally utilising<br />

all resources <strong>and</strong> respecting all requirements for health <strong>and</strong> safety,<br />

the environment, <strong>and</strong> property. Prevention will always be the<br />

highest priority.<br />

3.2. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL AUDITS<br />

Audit at Česká rafinérská is a systematic <strong>and</strong> independent investigative<br />

process aimed at determining whether the activities carried<br />

out by the Company <strong>and</strong> the related results are in accordance with<br />

the plans <strong>and</strong> whether such plans are applied efficiently <strong>and</strong> are<br />

suitable for achieving compliance with corporate commitments, goals,<br />

<strong>and</strong> legal requirements. The goals of the audit include appreciation<br />

of good practice.<br />

The Internal Audit <strong>and</strong> Risk Assessment process is one of the<br />

Company‘s most important processes. Its activity is monitored<br />

on a quarterly basis by the Audit Committee (a Company body<br />

consisting of 5 members of the Board of Directors). Its results are<br />

then subject to review by the other bodies of the Company such as<br />

the Supervisory Board, Operating Committee, <strong>and</strong> the quarterly<br />

shareholder meeting. This close connection aids to build confidence<br />

in the Company‘s ability to meet the requirements of the shareholders<br />

<strong>and</strong> processors, which in effect contributes to ensuring<br />

customer satisfaction.<br />

The Company‘s internal <strong>and</strong> external audit plan is prepared for<br />

every calendar year <strong>and</strong> forms a part of the Business Plan. This annual<br />

audit plan is based on the five-year audit plan specified in the<br />

strategic plan. The internal audit plan covers the audit of all primary<br />

<strong>and</strong> ancillary processes <strong>and</strong> defines the priorities on the basis of<br />

the regular revisions of the risk register every year. The external<br />

audit plan is prepared on the basis of the shareholders‘ decisions<br />

<strong>and</strong> certification authorities‘ or processor representatives‘ notices.<br />

Aside from the planned internal <strong>and</strong> external audits, extraordinary<br />

audits were also made in <strong>2009</strong> as requested by the Company‘s<br />

management, the Audit Committee, <strong>and</strong> the shareholders.<br />

A group of internal auditors (trained employees of the Company<br />

who work as internal auditors in addition to their job descriptions)<br />

cooperated on the internal audits in <strong>2009</strong> as well. In <strong>2009</strong>, a ninth<br />

workshop was organised for the internal auditors with the same<br />

goal as in the previous years - to improve the awareness of processes<br />

at Česká rafinérská <strong>and</strong> the internal audit expertise.<br />

The internal <strong>and</strong> external audits took place in line with the <strong>2009</strong><br />

audit plan specified as part of the <strong>2009</strong> Business Plan.<br />

3.3. RISK MANAGEMENT<br />

The Company periodically identifies <strong>and</strong> assesses business risks,<br />

occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety risks, <strong>and</strong> environmental risks <strong>and</strong><br />

impacts. The Company‘s business risk were further updated <strong>and</strong><br />

revised on an ongoing basis as part of the Company‘s risk map in<br />

<strong>2009</strong>. An internal Risk Management directive was issued with the<br />

aim of defining the method of work with risks within the Company<br />

<strong>and</strong> the risk management strategy <strong>and</strong> procedures. Emphasis was<br />

placed on a single approach of process owners to h<strong>and</strong>ling risks,<br />

regular updates of the risks including the use of available tools, <strong>and</strong><br />

consistent observance of the defined measures.<br />

A single approach to the Company‘s risks was emphasised last<br />

year as well. Updates of the Company‘s internal documents have<br />

led to the setting of the risk management process as part of the<br />

required single <strong>and</strong> regular approach to risks, their updates, <strong>and</strong><br />

observance of the defined measures.<br />

The ongoing <strong>and</strong> regular increase of competencies in risk management<br />

<strong>and</strong> the knowledge of all of the Company‘s processes are<br />

indispensable for further activities. This is why, in line with the business<br />

plan, the risks inherent in the Company‘s business model<br />

(„business risks“) <strong>and</strong> the map of such risks will also be revised in<br />

the following year as well.<br />

Major projects implemented at Česká rafinérská in <strong>2009</strong> include<br />

the 1st phase of the Business Continuity Management project. This<br />

is a relatively new management discipline, which is becoming increasingly<br />

important in relation to the turbulent environment organisations<br />

face.<br />

The organisation‘s Business Continuity Management project is<br />

aimed at creating such an environment <strong>and</strong> culture in the Company<br />

that will form a framework for ensuring a certain degree of<br />

resilience <strong>and</strong> ability to respond to unexpected developments, effectively<br />

protecting the organisation‘s key processes <strong>and</strong> interests.<br />

The project‘s first phase was implemented in <strong>2009</strong>, covering the<br />

BIA (Business <strong>Impact</strong> Analysis).<br />

The impact analysis used Česká rafinérská‘s process model to<br />

analyse the impact of the failure of a certain process or a part<br />

ČESKÁ RAF INÉRSKÁ, a.s.<br />

10 7


thereof on the Company‘s business <strong>and</strong> determine the criticality<br />

of the process on the basis of priorities in terms of recovery, financial<br />

impacts, requirements for roles <strong>and</strong> resources, key systems<br />

<strong>and</strong> applications etc. The further phases of the project will cover<br />

the creation of such processes <strong>and</strong> environments that will enable<br />

maintaining the continuity <strong>and</strong> recovery of the organisation‘s critical<br />

activities to a pre-defined minimal level, if interrupted or lost.<br />

3.4. INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CUSTOMER<br />

SATISFACTION<br />

The monitoring of customer satisfaction at Česká rafinérská has a<br />

long tradition, with the initial monitoring dating back to 2001/2002.<br />

Many things have changed <strong>and</strong> various techniques <strong>and</strong> approaches<br />

have been tried since then. Those that proved right <strong>and</strong> brought<br />

the Company the expected effect are currently in use.<br />

The 5th Internal Customer Satisfaction Campaign, which included<br />

10 inter-division meetings on the topic, took place in <strong>2009</strong>. The<br />

monitoring of the internal customer satisfaction has been done regularly<br />

at the Company, at an interval of 1 to 2 years.<br />

The campaign‘s result is always a recording of the mutual evaluation<br />

with a list of recommended actions <strong>and</strong> improvements including<br />

responsibilities <strong>and</strong> deadlines. This Internal Satisfaction Improvement<br />

Plan of the Company allows for comprehensible <strong>and</strong> clear<br />

management of the entire process. The system enables the people<br />

responsible for observing the defined measures to monitor <strong>and</strong><br />

update the records on the observance of the required actions on<br />

an ongoing basis. The actions defined by the previous campaigns<br />

have been observed to 96%.<br />

Today, our processors are our external customers, so we also conduct<br />

regular research into the satisfaction of the external customer<br />

- a Česká rafinérská processor. Research frequency is similar<br />

to that of the internal satisfaction campaign. We have gradually<br />

progressed from simple questionnaires to a more efficient form<br />

of monitoring external customer satisfaction - directed interviews/<br />

workshops with our processors.<br />

The workshops furnish us with valuable insights <strong>and</strong> comments,<br />

which are linked to proposed measures for improving the external<br />

customer‘s satisfaction. The responsible persons‘ ongoing observance<br />

of tasks with deadlines is a part of the activities during the<br />

periods between campaigns.<br />

Occupational <strong>Health</strong><br />

<strong>and</strong> <strong>Safety</strong><br />

4.1. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY<br />

Occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety protection has been a long-term<br />

priority at Česká rafinérská <strong>and</strong> formed an integral part of the Company‘s<br />

processes in <strong>2009</strong>. Given the multitude of topics that this<br />

area involves, occupational safety is divided into personal safety<br />

<strong>and</strong> process safety, since this is the only way how to better define<br />

new directions <strong>and</strong> trends to encourage constant improvement.<br />

Occupational health <strong>and</strong> safety protection has been subject to ongoing<br />

development <strong>and</strong> improvement, since it is influenced by many<br />

variables such as the setting of new st<strong>and</strong>ards in the EU, the validity<br />

of which has been detailed in the laws of the Czech Republic in<br />

many instances. It also involves the occurrence of operating situations<br />

<strong>and</strong> statuses that are difficult to predict. In these cases, it is<br />

necessary to thoroughly map each such situation <strong>and</strong> learn a lesson.<br />

Česká rafinérská responded flexibly to all such changes <strong>and</strong><br />

implemented them in its internal policies in the previous year.<br />

A planned shutdown of equipment took place in the Kralupy plant<br />

in <strong>2009</strong>. A great deal of attention was paid to the occupational health<br />

<strong>and</strong> safety aspects of the preparation <strong>and</strong> organisation of the<br />

project. Training was provided to a total of 2,952 employees of 203<br />

contractor companies, <strong>and</strong> this was also reflected in the course of<br />

the shutdown. Not a single work-related injury resulting in absence<br />

was logged during the entire period of the shutdown comprising a<br />

total of 283,955 hours worked.<br />

The aim of <strong>2009</strong> was to uphold a high st<strong>and</strong>ard in this constantly<br />

evolving area. Therefore the Company joined the “<strong>Safety</strong> Day” initiative<br />

endorsed by our shareholders. During the work team meetings<br />

the Company‘s employees focused on “doing the right things” with<br />

the aim of improving work safety <strong>and</strong> the efficiency of activities.<br />

In terms of the company car accident rate, the number of car accidents<br />

was reduced again compared with the previous year <strong>and</strong><br />

no injuries related to the accidents have been registered. These<br />

positive results are the outcome of extensive driver training in the<br />

form of h<strong>and</strong>s-on instruction at the Most Polygone, an information<br />

campaign, <strong>and</strong> motivation. Major factors include a systemic measure<br />

whereby the driver assumes the responsibility <strong>and</strong> participates<br />

materially in claim settlement where the accident is his fault.<br />

For <strong>2009</strong> Česká rafinérská logged 5 employee injuries:<br />

- 1 injury requiring on-site first aid;<br />

- 1 injury requiring medical treatment;<br />

- 3 injuries resulting in incapacity for work <strong>and</strong> absence of 32 days,<br />

with the incapacity with one of the injuries spilling over to 2010.<br />

All of the injuries recorded for <strong>2009</strong> occurred while walking. This<br />

circumstance will warrant increased attention in the future.<br />

We started the improvement of qualifications for the Company‘s<br />

employees in selected key positions in <strong>2009</strong>, including for work in<br />

enclosed areas, work in areas with potential sulphane occurrence,<br />

high-rise work, mechanical safety of equipment, <strong>and</strong> electrical safety<br />

of equipment. This activity involved a periodical training session<br />

for all employees.<br />

4.2. PROCESS SAFETY<br />

The dangers <strong>and</strong> risks associated with process safety may result<br />

in serious accidents involving leakage of substances in hazardous<br />

amounts. This type of accidents can have serious implications for<br />

people <strong>and</strong> can lead to considerable losses of finance, property,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the environment.<br />

The Company is conscious of the fact that any extraordinary<br />

occurrence can have far-reaching consequences. Process safety<br />

is meant to prevent such occurrences or, where such leakage<br />

does occur, to reduce their scope <strong>and</strong> consequences. This is why<br />

there are means (systems, processes, <strong>and</strong> programmes) set up at<br />

Česká rafinérská to eliminate such occurrences (including almostaccidents)<br />

<strong>and</strong> their negative impacts. Process safety facilities focus<br />

on equipment design, risk assessment, change management,<br />

inspections, equipment testing <strong>and</strong> maintenance, efficient alarm<br />

systems, efficient production control <strong>and</strong> management, safe practices,<br />

<strong>and</strong> education <strong>and</strong> training for shop <strong>and</strong> managerial staff.<br />

The key indicators provided by such facilities, which are specific<br />

to process risks, are monitored regularly. The defined indicators<br />

show whether proper emphasis is placed on various aspects<br />

of safety management <strong>and</strong> assist in setting the priorities for the<br />

Company‘s future investments. Based on the evaluation of the indicators,<br />

Česká rafinérská makes decisions, improvements, <strong>and</strong><br />

investments in the constant <strong>and</strong> ongoing improvement of safety,<br />

reliability, <strong>and</strong> integrity of process equipment. Selected reactive<br />

<strong>and</strong> proactive key process safety indicators have been monitored<br />

<strong>and</strong> consulted in accordance with our shareholders‘ requirements<br />

since 2008.<br />

As part of measuring process safety performance, the preparation<br />

for the introduction of single industry metrics for emergencies<br />

matching the criteria for API incidents started in <strong>2009</strong>. The evaluation<br />

of these criteria for each emergency has been part of the regular<br />

reports provided by the technical division since 1 January 2010.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> marked the revision of the internal documents on the risk<br />

management process, which define the methodology for managing<br />

HSSE risks <strong>and</strong> defines the requirements for the revisions of<br />

such risks in line with the Company‘s Business Plan. The scheduled<br />

controlling activities in the reviewed year included the checks<br />

<strong>and</strong> audits focusing also on the process risks <strong>and</strong> hazards, as well<br />

as the approval of HSE controls <strong>and</strong> activities for the next year.<br />

The agenda of HSSE subteams included the sharing of information<br />

with employees in the form of ‚lessons learned‘ from accidents<br />

<strong>and</strong> reports on serious occurrences, including the causes <strong>and</strong> the<br />

measures adopted, in <strong>2009</strong> as well. <strong>Safety</strong> improvements at Česká<br />

rafinérská based on serious occurrences use the Root Cause<br />

Analysis (RCA) methodology. A RCA methodology workshop took<br />

place in June <strong>2009</strong> as part of investigation committee members‘<br />

renewing <strong>and</strong> obtaining their competences.<br />

From the viewpoint of process safety knowledge <strong>and</strong> competence,<br />

it is commendable that the employee training system in <strong>2009</strong><br />

included HSSE qualification, which covers the defined areas of<br />

process <strong>and</strong> personnel safety.<br />

4.3. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROTECTION<br />

A high st<strong>and</strong>ard of health care provided to our staff is a priority<br />

for Česká rafinérská <strong>and</strong> is paid constant attention. Employees<br />

who come in contact with hazardous substances, including but<br />

not limited to hydrocarbons, sulphane, <strong>and</strong> noise, undergo regular<br />

personal exposure measurements <strong>and</strong> evaluation. Measurements<br />

show that the working environment <strong>and</strong> the state of the equipment<br />

<strong>and</strong> workplaces are improving constantly.<br />

The potential risks due to the nature of the crude oil processing<br />

industry are proactively identified <strong>and</strong> eliminated in cooperation<br />

with employees.<br />

The improvements of the working environment at Česká rafinérská<br />

take place also in the form of deployment of new equipment with<br />

lower noise <strong>and</strong> pollutant emissions. Great emphasis is place on<br />

proper lighting of work stations in accordance with the law in force.<br />

Both newly built <strong>and</strong> refurbished units meet the requirements of<br />

sanitary regulations.<br />

The aforementioned activities both improve the working environment<br />

<strong>and</strong> considerably reduce the environment impact of refining<br />

production around Česká rafinérská‘s premises.<br />

4.4. FIRE PROTECTION<br />

The primary objective of fire protection at Česká rafinérská is to<br />

protect human life <strong>and</strong> health as well as assets from the fire hazard.<br />

Precluding the risks - prevention - is a major part <strong>and</strong> an essential<br />

principle. The preventive fire protection strategy in general<br />

is based on the theory of fire <strong>and</strong> economic risk <strong>and</strong> is laid down in<br />

legal regulations <strong>and</strong> related st<strong>and</strong>ards as part of the Company‘s<br />

organisational <strong>and</strong> management documents. The task of fire prevention<br />

is ensuring fire safety when using <strong>and</strong> operating facilities<br />

throughout their service life while ensuring the fire safety of operations<br />

based on the fire hazard specifications. The activities associated<br />

with production units fall, with respect to their nature <strong>and</strong> the<br />

amount of flammable, explosive, <strong>and</strong> toxic substances involved, in<br />

the ‚high‘ <strong>and</strong> ‚increased‘ fire hazard categories, <strong>and</strong> as such are<br />

410<br />

<strong>2009</strong> <strong>Health</strong>, <strong>Safety</strong>, <strong>Security</strong>, <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>Report</strong>


subject to strict adherence to the defined requirements based on<br />

relevant documents. The fire safety of the operated equipment is<br />

ensured by a system of fire safety equipment.<br />

Emphasis was also placed on the employees‘ qualifications <strong>and</strong><br />

on deepening their knowledge <strong>and</strong> skills with the goal of preventing<br />

risk situations in the form of training in <strong>2009</strong>. First, there was<br />

statutory training – training for the employees <strong>and</strong> managers covering<br />

not only the fire protection area. Second, there was technical<br />

training e.g. on security of process equipment <strong>and</strong> on safe work<br />

during repair <strong>and</strong> maintenance, training for fire prevention patrols,<br />

<strong>and</strong> themed emergency drills with UNIPETROL RPA, s.r.o. <strong>and</strong><br />

SYNTHOS Kralupy, a.s. fire departments that provide services to<br />

Česká rafinérská on a contractual basis. Emergency drills were<br />

focused primarily on operator readiness <strong>and</strong> practising activities<br />

in resolving emergencies in cooperation with external authorities<br />

<strong>and</strong> organisations. The observance of preventive measures is a<br />

safeguard for preventing fires, readiness for fire suppression <strong>and</strong><br />

preventing its spread, <strong>and</strong> the actual work during fire suppression.<br />

In the previous years, fire protection was improved with investment<br />

projects that improved the fire safety level. The year <strong>2009</strong><br />

raised the bar still further with the retrofit of the drencher system<br />

in the underground corridors at Tank Site “A”.<br />

In <strong>2009</strong> Česká rafinérská logged 3 cases of fire, which only caused<br />

minimal damage.<br />

4.5. EMERGENCY PREVENTION<br />

No events that could be described as emergencies <strong>and</strong> would require<br />

addressing on the crisis management level were logged last<br />

year.<br />

The preparation for addressing emergencies is the subject matter<br />

of regular emergency drills, where the h<strong>and</strong>s-on addressing of the<br />

potential emergencies gives the staff the abilities to h<strong>and</strong>le a real<br />

emergency without loss of health, environment, <strong>and</strong> the Company‘s<br />

assets.<br />

As far as emergency documents are concerned, the <strong>Safety</strong> <strong>Report</strong><br />

for the Litvínov refinery was updated last year.<br />

Last year also marked the start of the project titled Business<br />

Continuity Management intended to define the rules for tackling<br />

the consequences of accidents in terms of both the safety of the<br />

employees <strong>and</strong> the operation of the process equipment as well<br />

as situations that might disrupt the continuity of the Company‘s<br />

business in cases such as a shortage of crude oil, natural gas,<br />

electricity, or influenza p<strong>and</strong>emic etc.<br />

Preventing emergencies is the best solution for any company. For<br />

prevention to be successful, it must be based on risk assessment.<br />

And this is another area that maximum attention was paid to. Risk<br />

assessment at our Company covered all areas of business from<br />

production to maintenance to taking stock, planning, <strong>and</strong> investments.<br />

This shows that risk assessment influences not only the addressing<br />

of emergencies such as a fire or explosion, but, ultimately, it<br />

affects the operation of the entire Company.<br />

4.6 ADR AND RID SYSTEMS<br />

Česká rafinérská acts as both the originator <strong>and</strong> the recipient under<br />

the Agreement concerning the International Carriage of Dangerous<br />

Goods by Road (ADR) <strong>and</strong> Railway (RID), <strong>and</strong> when it<br />

comes to RID, as the filler <strong>and</strong> dispenser of hazardous substances<br />

as well. For this activity, Česká rafinérská has appointed a ADR/<br />

RID advisor to monitor the observance of the regulations on transporting<br />

hazardous items.<br />

The transport of hazardous items in <strong>2009</strong> involved two emergencies,<br />

which were addressed as required by the ADR <strong>and</strong> relevant<br />

measures to prevent their re-occurrence were adopted.<br />

4.7. SAFE DRIVING OF MOTOR VEHICLES – MEETING THE<br />

THREE-YEAR COMMITMENT OF THE EUROPEAN CHART<br />

Česká rafinérská adopted a three-year commitment to specific<br />

activities as part of the European Road <strong>Safety</strong> Charter (for more<br />

visit http://ec.europa.eu/transport/roadsafety/charter) in 2007,<br />

<strong>and</strong> in <strong>2009</strong> it met its three-year commitment focused on company<br />

cars with implications for private trips <strong>and</strong> our contractors <strong>and</strong> the<br />

general public around the Company. The Company’s commitment<br />

was managed by a project team comprising of representatives<br />

from different Company sections. This team submitted progress<br />

reports to the Central <strong>Safety</strong>, <strong>Environment</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Quality</strong> <strong>and</strong> Asset<br />

Protection, Team <strong>and</strong> to the Company management. A report on<br />

the meeting of the commitment was submitted to the European<br />

Commission‘s Directorate for Transportation in January 2010. The<br />

text of the message is in an attachment.<br />

Safe driving of motor vehicles remains a priority for Česká rafinérská<br />

for the future. The accident rate will be monitored as part of the<br />

HSEQ Scorecard <strong>and</strong> published annually in Česká rafinérská‘s<br />

HSSEQ Annual <strong>Report</strong>. The motivation <strong>and</strong> information programmes<br />

run by the Company, aimed at safe road behaviour <strong>and</strong> at<br />

keeping the number of traffic accidents low <strong>and</strong> eliminating traffic<br />

accidents in both plants of the Company, will also continue.<br />

Asset Protection<br />

In the industrial sites in Litvínov <strong>and</strong> Kralupy nad Vltavou,<br />

Česká rafinérská applies systematic activities entailing incessant<br />

checks <strong>and</strong> proposals for actions. The objective of<br />

the measure is to further reduce the risk of theft of assets<br />

<strong>and</strong> products.<br />

Given the concentration of tangible <strong>and</strong> intangible assets, the potential<br />

intrusion from the outside or inside could result in damage to<br />

production equipment of the various process units, operating accidents,<br />

environmental loss, or consequential loss on the market due<br />

to the drop-outs in the production <strong>and</strong> distribution of oil products.<br />

5.1. SECURITY OF PLANT AND MACHINERY<br />

The physical protection of the Litvínov <strong>and</strong> Kralupy refineries was<br />

provided on a contractual basis by the sites managers (UNIPET-<br />

ROL RPA, s.r.o. in Litvínov <strong>and</strong> SYNTHOS Kralupy, a.s.) through a<br />

security agency.<br />

On the part of Česká rafinérská, this meant primarily inspections<br />

focused on the security service, on the observance of the passcheck<br />

system regimes, <strong>and</strong> on the passage of materials through<br />

facility gates.<br />

The technological protection of structures <strong>and</strong> process equipment<br />

constantly relied on a CCTV system utilising 23 cameras in the refinery<br />

in Kralupy nad Vltavou <strong>and</strong> 25 cameras in the Litvínov refinery.<br />

Selected buildings <strong>and</strong> structures in both refineries were under the<br />

control of an electronic security system; further security measures<br />

use fixed barriers (bars, fences etc.).<br />

A vehicle monitoring system represents a new chapter in detecting<br />

unjustifiable movements of company cars within <strong>and</strong> without the<br />

premises as well as latent crime. R<strong>and</strong>om checks are carried out regularly<br />

with respect to selected vehicles. This approach has already<br />

contributed to detecting fuel theft.<br />

5.2. PRODUCT SECURITY<br />

Product security is provided by means of a combination of physical<br />

<strong>and</strong> technological protection in both refineries.<br />

The Kralupy nad Vltavou refinery has used a CCTV system - 16<br />

cameras monitor risk points to detect any potential motor fuel theft<br />

<strong>and</strong> the cameras at the road terminal (SDS) monitor the process of<br />

filling tank trucks.<br />

The Litvínov refinery has relied on 25 stationary cameras in non-stop<br />

operation monitoring the motor fuel stocks <strong>and</strong> the filling of tank<br />

trucks at the Tank Site <strong>and</strong> Jiřetín Terminal. The security system<br />

was under constant surveillance by a security agency either at guard<br />

posts or at centralised security desks.<br />

The latter half of <strong>2009</strong> marked the start of work on a major investment<br />

project addressing the security of the LPG tank farm facility in<br />

Kralupy nad Vltavou. The installed perimetric detection system with<br />

8 additional cameras will greatly improve the protection of LPG tank<br />

farm from attempts at intrusion by climbing, cutting, or lifting the<br />

fence. It was completed in February 2010.<br />

The regular preventive <strong>and</strong> inspection activities in the field of asset<br />

protection will continue in the future. More investment projects,<br />

aimed at further improving the protection of the premises, preventing<br />

uncontrolled intrusion of undesirable persons, preventing theft<br />

<strong>and</strong> damage to equipment - <strong>and</strong> subsequently, extraordinary occurrences<br />

<strong>and</strong> emergencies - are ready for implementation.<br />

<strong>Environment</strong> Protection<br />

The Company continued its efforts aimed at minimising the environmental<br />

impact of its business, as it undertook in the Integrated<br />

Management System Policy, in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

The commitment is aimed at observing legal requirements, the<br />

method of operating refinery equipment <strong>and</strong> processes, the quality<br />

of the products, <strong>and</strong> the education <strong>and</strong> motivation for raising<br />

awareness on environment protection among its own <strong>and</strong> its contractors‘<br />

employees.<br />

Following the investments completed earlier (projects under the<br />

general “Clean Fuels” label focused on air protection, adding biocomponents<br />

in motor fuels in order to save non-renewable energy<br />

<strong>and</strong> material resources), the Company continued investment activities<br />

aimed at reducing air pollution, increasing energy efficiency,<br />

<strong>and</strong> improving the protection of groundwater.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> was a successful year when it comes to waste management<br />

as well. While it was a year of shutdowns for the Kralupy refinery,<br />

the refinery only recorded a slight increase in the amount of<br />

waste as a result, compensated for by a decrease in the Litvínov<br />

refinery.<br />

6.1. AIR PROTECTION<br />

<strong>2009</strong> was a year of shutdowns for the Kralupy refinery. This<br />

showed generally in a lower amount of emissions compared with<br />

the previous years.<br />

The table illustrates an increase of sulphur dioxide <strong>and</strong> nitrogen<br />

oxides emissions in the Litvínov refinery. It was caused by a defect<br />

of the boiler on the Claus III unit, as a result of which the boiler<br />

had to be retubed. During the repair, the sulphane gas containing<br />

ammonia, whose emissions are converted to nitrogen oxides, was<br />

fired at the flare.<br />

Emission figures for the last 5 years are given in the following<br />

tables.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> 43.5 4.5 3.6 51.6<br />

Both the Company’s refineries posted a slight decrease of hydrocarbon<br />

gas <strong>and</strong> vapour emissions compared with 2008. The<br />

amount of emissions depends on the manner of shipping the various<br />

product types or on their percentage shipped via long-distance<br />

pipelines <strong>and</strong> the amount of feedstock processed, which was<br />

affected by the shutdown in the Kralupy refinery.<br />

Carbon dioxide emissions<br />

Carbon dioxide emissions given in the HSE indicator overview<br />

(CEFIC) are calculated using the method specified for reporting<br />

results under the Responsible Care scheme (i.e. including emissions<br />

associated with the production of procured electricity).<br />

Emissions reported using the method required for reporting greenhouse<br />

gases for each refinery separately are given in the above<br />

table.<br />

Fugitivní emise – Metoda LDAR<br />

The LDAR software has been used on a long-term basis as a tool<br />

for detecting equipment leaks <strong>and</strong> reducing volatile hydrocarbon<br />

losses. Detection of fugitive emissions by direct measurements of<br />

distributed sources in both refineries of the Company continued<br />

in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

The Kralupy refinery applied a full range of measurements to the<br />

refining block, catalytic cracking block, <strong>and</strong> the liquefied hydrocarbon<br />

gas storage block, <strong>and</strong> a reduced range at the MTBE <strong>and</strong><br />

ethanol storage facilities. Almost sixty thous<strong>and</strong> components of<br />

the production <strong>and</strong> storage equipment have been measured, <strong>and</strong><br />

a subsequent repair eliminated leakage in more than 40% of the<br />

places where leakage was detected.<br />

With respect to the scope of measurements in the Kralupy refinery<br />

where <strong>2009</strong> was a year of shutdowns, the scope of measurements<br />

in the Litvínov refinery was smaller. Measurements were focused<br />

on four sections <strong>and</strong> more than thirteen thous<strong>and</strong> components<br />

were measured. The subsequent repairs reduced the calculated<br />

fugitive emissions from the measured equipment by one-fifth.<br />

6.2. SURFACE AND UNDERGROUND WATER<br />

To reduce the risk of compromising the quality of groundwater in<br />

certain parts of the Litvínov refinery, wastewater system pipes<br />

were replaced with fibreglass piping replacing the former ceramic<br />

pipes. Aside from the replacement completed at the terminal tank<br />

site in 2008, the same modification started in the atmospheric vacuum<br />

crude distillation unit block.<br />

<strong>2009</strong> 1,657.3 363.3<br />

The increased quantity of wastewater in proportion to the processed<br />

crude oil in the Kralupy refinery results, similarly to the Litvínov<br />

refinery in 2007, from shutdowns of facilities <strong>and</strong> recommissioning<br />

of the facilities after the shutdown.<br />

The volume of groundwater from hydrogeologic protection wells of<br />

the Kralupy industrial complex over the past five years is set out<br />

in the following table:<br />

2007 1,517.5<br />

2008 1,406.9<br />

<strong>2009</strong> 1,309.7<br />

Groundwater protection in the Kralupy plant is based primarily on<br />

a hydraulic barrier (HOPV). Last year, a hydrogeologic survey was<br />

carried out to determine the scope of groundwater contamination<br />

on the site <strong>and</strong> a recovery <strong>and</strong> monitoring system was set up<br />

with new monitoring <strong>and</strong> recovery bore holes, a newly operated<br />

part of a drainage system around the road terminal, <strong>and</strong> installation<br />

of equipment for continuous monitoring of water levels in<br />

selected bore holes. The frequency <strong>and</strong> scope of the monitoring of<br />

groundwater pollutants have been exp<strong>and</strong>ed. The preparation for<br />

the sewer system repair <strong>and</strong> wastewater treatment plant (WWTR)<br />

refurbishment project has started.<br />

Both refineries test equipment tightness, mainly for sumps <strong>and</strong><br />

wastewater lines as well as other equipment that h<strong>and</strong>les hazardous<br />

substances. Storage tanks are inspected in line with the<br />

approved schedule.<br />

6.3. WASTE MANAGEMENT<br />

The percentage of waste from investment activities is in proportion to<br />

the scope of investment projects, or to the scope of earthworks. While<br />

the year <strong>2009</strong> was a shutdown year in the Kralupy refinery, there was<br />

Waste generation - total Litvínov refinery (tonnes/year):<br />

no major increase in the generation of waste in production in terms<br />

of overall volume or hazardous waste. The decrease in the amount<br />

of waste generated in the Litvínov refinery also showed in the overall<br />

reduction of the amount of waste for the Company as a whole.<br />

Facility with potential PCB content<br />

Laboratory tests done prior to <strong>2009</strong> proved that the Litvínov refinery<br />

does not have any facility - not even with a content of 5 litres<br />

or lower - that would contain PCB.<br />

In the Kralupy refinery, samples were taken from the last two units<br />

with liquid content in excess of 5 litres during the <strong>2009</strong> shutdown.<br />

The result of the analysis was negative, as in all other cases, so<br />

this refinery of the Company does not contain any equipment containing<br />

PCB. There are no low-volume units with potential PCB<br />

content in the Kralupy refinery.<br />

6.4. ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION OPERATING COSTS<br />

The environment protection operating costs are itemised in the<br />

manner customary for EIA reports. The largest items are the costs<br />

of the treatment <strong>and</strong> discharge of wastewater, processing of acidic<br />

sulphane gases using the Claus process, <strong>and</strong> waste disposal.<br />

Also of interest are the costs of operating the hydrogeologic protection<br />

of groundwater <strong>and</strong> the WWTP, <strong>and</strong> monitoring air, water,<br />

<strong>and</strong> rock pollution. This includes the cost of detecting hydrocarbon<br />

gas <strong>and</strong> vapour leakage from distributed sources, amounting almost<br />

CZK 2.2 million for <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

Investments<br />

The unfavourable economic development of <strong>2009</strong> was not reflected<br />

in investment activities aimed at improving environment protection.<br />

The total amount of the financial funds thus expended was<br />

comparable to capital expenditures in the previous year.<br />

Out of the total investments expended, environment <strong>and</strong> safety<br />

projects amounted to more than 60%, almost one of which was<br />

allocated to the environment.<br />

Some of the projects were a continuation of the activities started<br />

previously. The new projects include primarily:<br />

Intensified desulphuring of the sulphur production tail gas<br />

using the Claus process in the Litvínov refinery;<br />

Improved energy efficiency of the Kralupy refinery furnaces;<br />

Tank for the liquid seal at the Kralupy refinery‘s flare;<br />

Retrofit of the wastewater system in Block 34 of the Litvínov<br />

refinery.<br />

New projects were implemented with a view to improving air<br />

protection <strong>and</strong> groundwater quality. Air quality improvement is<br />

achieved primarily by reduced emissions from process furnaces<br />

due to lower fuel consumption <strong>and</strong> improved energy efficiency of<br />

equipment, which is also part of the category of natural resource<br />

preservation.<br />

The refurbishment of the sewer system includes primarily its restoration<br />

<strong>and</strong> the application of resilient materials, resulting in greater<br />

tightness <strong>and</strong> preventing leakage into the rock substrate.<br />

The modification of the Kralupy refinery‘s flare is intended to improve<br />

its operation overall, effectively reducing environment impact<br />

in the broad surroundings.<br />

6.5. PRODUCT QUALITY AND BIO-FUEL IMPLEMENTATION<br />

Constant care for the quality of the products supplied to the market<br />

is one of the Česká rafinérská´s main priorities. The results achieved<br />

in this respect in the long run allow the Company to be considered<br />

a major market player in the refining segment on both the<br />

domestic <strong>and</strong> neighbouring markets, to which a part of production<br />

is exported. Motor fuels are the most important group of products<br />

in terms of volume of production <strong>and</strong> the potential environment impacts,<br />

<strong>and</strong> the Company pays maximum attention to their quality.<br />

The implementation of bio-fuels in the pool of motor fuels to ensure<br />

that the Company meets the requirements of the law in force, i.e.<br />

Act No. 86/2002 on Air Protection, as amended, was a major task<br />

in the previous year. The Act laid down the obligation for <strong>2009</strong> to<br />

ensure that motor fuels marketed within the free tax cycle contain<br />

at least 3.5% vol. of bio-fuels in the total amount of gasoline <strong>and</strong><br />

4.5% vol. in the total amount of diesel fuel. Despite minor problems<br />

with a lack of clarity in the legal provisions <strong>and</strong> the occasional lower<br />

quality of the bio-components supplied, the Company tackled this<br />

obligation successfully <strong>and</strong> reached a 3.52% vol. of bio-ethanol in<br />

gasoline a 4.55% vol. of FAME in diesel fuel.<br />

The production of sulphur-free fuels, i.e. motor fuels with sulphur<br />

content of up to 10 mg/kg, continued successfully throughout the<br />

year. This confirmed <strong>and</strong> verified the correctness <strong>and</strong> efficiency of<br />

all measures <strong>and</strong> investments made as part of the implementation<br />

of the “Clean Fuels” project. The refinery‘s contribution to reducing<br />

harmful emissions is illustrated in the figure below, which compares<br />

the growth of the overall diesel fuel production with the simultaneous<br />

reduction of SO 2<br />

emissions resulting from burning it thanks to<br />

a radical reduction of sulphur content in the diesel fuel. The chart<br />

indicates that while the diesel fuel production has more than doubled<br />

since 1993, the quantity of SO 2<br />

generated by burning it was<br />

reduced to less than 2%.<br />

7.1. Laboratories<br />

Extended laboratory accreditation under ČSN EN 17025<br />

Based on our customers‘ requirements, Česká rafinérská decided<br />

in 2007 to implement a system of laboratory accreditation pursuant<br />

to the ČSN EN ISO 17025 st<strong>and</strong>ard. A ČIA accreditation<br />

audit took place in 2008 <strong>and</strong> the laboratories were accredited.<br />

The methods for analysing fuel oils <strong>and</strong> determining the calorific<br />

value of the heavy fuel oil were accredited first. This accreditation<br />

is required by Decree No. 696/2004, which lays down the method<br />

for determining, reporting <strong>and</strong> verifying the amount of greenhouse<br />

gas emissions. Česká rafinérská received the ČIA accreditation<br />

certificate in 2008.<br />

In February <strong>2009</strong>, Česká rafinérská extended the accreditation to<br />

further methods that need to be accredited by state <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />

authorities <strong>and</strong> other methods that could potentially be a<br />

matter of complaint. The extension of the accreditation applied to<br />

the following methods of determining:<br />

Chemical oxygen dem<strong>and</strong> in wastewater.<br />

Biological oxygen dem<strong>and</strong> in wastewater.<br />

Undissolved solids in wastewater.<br />

Chloride content in liquid hydrocarbons.<br />

Sulphur content in liquid hydrocarbons.<br />

Water content in liquid hydrocarbons.<br />

Density of liquid hydrocarbons.<br />

Mechanical impurities by filtering.<br />

Octane number, using the motor method.<br />

Octane number, using the research method.<br />

During <strong>2009</strong> the laboratories prepared for a further extension of<br />

the accreditation to more methods:<br />

Determining diesel fuel filterability as a critical parameter during<br />

the winter.<br />

Determining low sulphur content in diesel fuel <strong>and</strong> petrol.<br />

Determining the density <strong>and</strong> water content of crude oil <strong>and</strong><br />

hydrocarbons.<br />

Determining C 10<br />

- C 40<br />

in wastewater.<br />

With this method, Česká rafinérská‘s laboratories have completed<br />

the accreditation for wastewater analyses.<br />

The laboratories refer to the accreditation in the output documents<br />

<strong>and</strong> certificates.<br />

Interlaboratory tests in laboratories<br />

During <strong>2009</strong> Česká rafinérská‘s laboratories took part in several<br />

types of interlaboratory tests. Traditionally, we have been part of<br />

the interlaboratory testing of fuels organised by International Interlaboratory<br />

Study (IIS) of the Netherl<strong>and</strong>s, interlaboratory wastewater<br />

tests by ASLAB <strong>and</strong> CSLAB, <strong>and</strong> octane <strong>and</strong> cetane interlaboratory<br />

tests by IP. The interlaboratory fuel tests again cover the<br />

parameters related to bio-fuel analysis <strong>and</strong> materials for mixing<br />

bio-fuels, i.e. ethanol <strong>and</strong> RME.<br />

The interlaboratory tests made at both sites of the company in<br />

<strong>2009</strong> had a 97% rate of success.<br />

Investments in laboratory equipment<br />

CZK 8 million was invested in laboratory equipment, primarily new<br />

laboratory apparatuses, in <strong>2009</strong>. Modern equipment for analysing<br />

fuel properties such as diesel fuel lubricity, determining low sulphur<br />

content in fuels, automated distillation units, modern titrators<br />

for determining water content in crude oil <strong>and</strong> fuels, an apparatus<br />

for determining particles in jet kerosene etc.<br />

The st<strong>and</strong>ard of laboratory equipment at Česká rafinérská was<br />

very high in <strong>2009</strong>.<br />

EUROPEAN ROAD SAFETY CHART OF AND ČESKÁ<br />

RAFINÉRSKÁ COMMITMENT 2007 – <strong>2009</strong><br />

Fulfilment: In frame of information campaign more than 10 information<br />

articles was published in the company newsletter ECHO,<br />

articles <strong>and</strong> films were placed on the company intranet pages, 8<br />

theme posters were released to for be displayed at the company<br />

boards.<br />

4. We will organise one day training for drivers at the Most Polygon,<br />

both with private <strong>and</strong> company cars during period 2008-<strong>2009</strong> with<br />

focus on mastering critical situations.<br />

Fulfilment: Courses of safe driving obligatory for company cars<br />

drivers were organised at the Most Polygon (95 persons) <strong>and</strong> for<br />

other employees who had interest to participate (36 persons),<br />

which was all covered by Company.<br />

ČESKÁ RAFINÉRSKÁ, a.s., Litvínov joint the European Road<br />

<strong>Safety</strong> Charter <strong>and</strong> at the same time accepted its concrete commitment<br />

for years 2007 – <strong>2009</strong>, which target was to decrease of<br />

number of car accidents, increase of safe driving awareness, support<br />

of nationwide events <strong>and</strong> also help to schools within the region.<br />

By joining to the European Road <strong>Safety</strong> Chart Česká rafinérská<br />

is fulfilling its mission <strong>and</strong> vision <strong>and</strong> also HSSEQ integrated<br />

policy targets.<br />

EVALUATION OF THE ČESKÁ RAFINÉRSKÁ COMMITMENT<br />

1. Our target is to decrease number of car accidents – employees of<br />

CRC – to less than 10 per year, from which no car accident will take<br />

place within Litvínov <strong>and</strong> Kralupy sites.<br />

Fulfilment: Number of car accidents was every year of Commitment<br />

under 10 (2007 - 7, 2008 - 5, <strong>2009</strong> - 7) – Accomplished!<br />

We were not successful to eliminate all car accidents within the sites.<br />

At the same time no car accident had injury as consequence,<br />

it was always only material damage.<br />

2. We will limit number of journeys between the sites where Company<br />

operate through utilising more video conferences <strong>and</strong> shuttle<br />

service. Within the sites we will organise in cooperation with local<br />

Police checks of road traffic adherence, when not only Česká rafinerska<br />

employees will be checked, but also employees of other<br />

companies <strong>and</strong> contractors. We will continue in statistical evaluation<br />

<strong>and</strong> appreciation “milestones” of driving safety kilometres without<br />

accidents.<br />

Fulfilment: The equipment for videoconferences taking places<br />

were installed.<br />

At least one check of adhering to speed limit <strong>and</strong> traffic regulations<br />

was organised every year provided by local Police.<br />

The statistic evaluation of driven km without car accident <strong>and</strong> public<br />

appreciation according to company policy continued.<br />

3. We will organise motivation <strong>and</strong> information campaign:<br />

- at least 5 texts will be released in the Company newsletter Echo.<br />

- once a year at least one poster will be released concerning BESIP<br />

topic to be placed at the boards.<br />

5. 2008 we will declare as YEAR OF SAFE DRIVING. This year we<br />

will focus on promotion, further education <strong>and</strong> concrete activities<br />

for safe driving of cars by our employees <strong>and</strong> partners within Kralupy<br />

<strong>and</strong> Litvínov premises.<br />

Fulfilment: The year 2008 was declared as a YEAR OF THE<br />

SAFE DRIVING <strong>and</strong> promotion items were released <strong>and</strong> every<br />

employee received motivation set of drivers tools. Publishing of<br />

information articles climaxed <strong>and</strong> safe driving courses took place<br />

on Most Polygon. Company partners (70 firms) received letter of<br />

CEO informing on the activities within EU Charter <strong>and</strong> motivation<br />

set of advertisement items as the employees.<br />
