Process safety Process safety involves managing the integrity of our operating systems and processes that deal with hazardous substances, to prevent loss of containment and safeguard our people, the environment and our assets. Our process safety measures start at the early design stages to ensure our facilities are inherently safe throughout their lifecycle. We apply safe operating practices and maintenance programs to manage asset integrity and prevent incidents such as leaks and spills. We have an Asset Integrity Process Safety Management (AIPSM) framework in place which sets out a consistent risk-based approach to asset integrity process safety. Our framework is structured to ensure effective leadership, governance and competence; risk and integrity management; performance reviews; and continuous improvement. Managing occupational health risks and exposure We conduct occupational health risk assessments (OHRAs) to identify and evaluate the risks associated with work- related health hazards. We use these insights to implement controls that minimize or eliminate potential health risks. We carry out regular reviews of these measures to determine their effectiveness and ensure that health hazards are controlled and minimized. Where the OHRA process identifies personnel being exposed to a potential health risk, we implement a risk-based health surveillance program. The surveillance commences at the pre- employment stage, where appropriate tests and examinations are done to obtain baseline data, and continues regularly throughout the employment period to minimize health hazards. If an incident does occur, we conduct a thorough investigation to understand the underlying root causes, evaluate barriers, assess potential consequences and develop and share proactive steps to prevent similar incidents in future. In 2023, there were zero cases of occupational health illness recorded across ADNOC. We use dedicated awareness campaigns to prevent or mitigate exposures to health hazards such as our annual Beat the Heat, Noise Exposure and Respiratory Protection Awareness campaigns. Informational material packs (including posters, pocket cards and videos) are disseminated across Group companies to maximize awareness of health hazards to exposed employees. 84
