2 EP-018L Control of Chemicals Entering the Premises Document Details Date of Issue 23/01/06 DCN no. 370 Sections Changed :. 5.6 included to detail delivery of chemicals. 5.7 included to reference appointment of DGSA. 1.0 PURPOSE: 2.0 SCOPE To ensure the control of new chemicals being introduced to ALPS Electric Ireland Ltd. These guidelines apply to any person intending to introduce a new chemical - solid liquid or gas to ALPS, including external contractors. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY It is the responsibility of each Department Manager to ensure that all department Personnel comply with this procedure and that all the relevant assessments have been completed, before any new chemical products are allowed enter ALPS premises. The Department Manager is responsible for ensuring that before a new chemical is introduced into the plant the correct guidelines are followed and the relevant literature completed and available for inspection. 4.0 REFERENCE DOCUMENTS REQUIRED Safety Introduction Sheet EP-18/A2 5.0 PROCEDURE For inspection purposes only. 5.1 Any person proposing to introduce a new chemical into the company for the first time either as a replacement, or sample/trial or as an addition to an existing range shall: Establish via the Health and Safety Officer/Delegate whether the chemical is already on the approved chemical list. If however the chemical is not on the approved chemical list, the initiating person must supply the relevant MSDS (Materials Safety Data Sheet) and Safety Introduction Sheet (EP-18/A2) to the Health and Safety Officer/ Delegate.

3 EP-018L Control of Chemicals Entering the Premises H&S Officer / Delegate and the Department Manager must sign the SIS for approval. The H&S Officer / Delegate will add the Chemical to the Register (only where the chemical is deemed safe to enter the premises) and assign a unique reference number to it. See AWI Purchasing Requisitions work instruction when processing requisitions/purchase orders for chemicals. 5.2 If the introduction of the chemical has been rejected, it shall not be introduced into the plant under any circumstances. However, it may be re-submitted if further justification is provided by the initiating person. 5.3 The Health and Safety Officer/ Delegate shall maintain a register of all approved chemicals used within the company, available for inspection. 5.4 Less hazardous alternatives will be sought for any particularly dangerous chemicals. However, if a chemical, which possesses hazardous properties, is found to be essential to the process, a thorough risk assessment will be carried out before it is allowed into the plant. Only trained personnel will be permitted to handle and use the chemical. 5.5 An external contractor must also demonstrate that their personnel are suitably trained to handle and use hazardous and dangerous chemicals. Equally, the contractor must detail the mechanism by which they will dispose of any residues of these chemicals. 5.6 All chemicals transported to and from the plant will be done so by licenced hauliers. All chemicals will be delivered into ALIR chemical location area for storage. 5.7 As per legal requirements ALIR will appoint a qualified Dangerous Goods Safety Advisor (DGSA) to act on behalf of the company. An annual DGSA audit will take Place. Any issues/non-conformance raised during this audit will be addressed and closed out. 6.0 RECORDS: For inspection purposes only.

11 EP-024F Filling Waste into Drums Procedure Document Details Date of Issue DCN no. 313 Sections Changed : 5.3 Remove reference to painted over as this process does not happen i.e. we remove the label or we place a blank label over it to obsolete it. 1.0 PURPOSE: 2.0 SCOPE: To ensure that all drums of waste are filled in a manner that provides for proper storage and prevents a health or environmental risk. All production areas involved in the production of liquid waste. 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY: It is the responsibility of all supervisors to ensure that this procedure is adhered to. 4.0 REFERENCES: Control of M.S.D.S Register EP PROCEDURE 5.1 Prior to any drumming operation, the drums to be checked for integrity, in particular be free from leaks, major rusting, swelling or indentations. Solvent wastes must only be filled into UN approved drums. Also before filling, ensure that the cap of the drum can be securely tightened. For inspection purposes only. 5.2 Material Safety Data sheets must be consulted to determine what level of personal protection is required and what precautions are to be taken. Eye protection and gloves are a minimum requirement at all times. 5.3 All obsolete labels are to be removed or blank label placed over it and the new relevant labels attached. 5.4 Chemicals cannot be mixed together in the same container until it has been determined from the Material Safety Data Sheets if they are compatible (i.e. no adverse chemical reaction). 5.5 During filling avoid splashes or spillage's, fill to a level of 4-6 inches from the top Page 1 of 2

12 EP-024F Filling Waste into Drums Procedure to leave an ullage space of approximately 5% of the total volume. 5.5 Ensure all lids are securely tightened. 5.6 When the filling operation is completed, the drums are to be moved, as soon as possible, away from the filling area, to the approved area. 6.0 RECORDS: Not Applicable.

15 EP-026H Segregation & Storage of Drummed Material & Waste Material Document Details Date of Issue 19/11/04 DCN no. 313 Sections Changed : 6.11 updated to reference EP-23-A1 Inspection of Drum Compound & Drum Store. Reference to EP-23/A2 & EP-23/A3 has been removed. 1.0 PURPOSE: To ensure that all drummed materials and waste are stored in a manner that minimises the risk of hazardous reactions as a result of accidental mixing. 2.0 SCOPE: (i) Portable Warehouse Chemical Storage Area- Logistics Department (ii)wash Room- Production Department (iii)paint & Laser outside Chemical Storage Area. Production Department (iv)waste Chemical Shed- Production Department (v) Portable waste chemical storage cabin. Production Department 3.0 RESPONSIBILITY It is the responsibility of the Operations Manager, Production Personnel and Logistics Manager to ensure that this procedure is adhered to. 4.0 DEFINITIONS For inspection purposes only. For the purpose of this procedure separated and segregated have the following meanings: Separated Specifies a safe distance between each hazard class appropriate to the chemical store. Segregated Where practically possible a safe gap is to be kept between each hazard class.

16 EP-026H Segregation & Storage of Drummed Material & Waste Material 6.0 PROCEDURE 6.1 All materials entering the chemical store area must have a hazard classification assigned, with the appropriate diamond labelling, based on the ADR system. 6.2 Materials of the same primary hazard class may be stored together. 6.3 For materials of different hazard classes, the following segregation should be applied : - Pressurised gas (Class 2): should be separated from Class 3 and 8. - Flammable Liquids (Class 3): should be separated from class 2 and 8 and be segregated from class 6. - Flammable Solids (Class 4): should be separated from class 5 and 8 and be segregated from class 6. - Oxidising Substances (Class 5): should be separated from class 3, 4, 6, 8. - Toxic Substances (Class 6) For inspection purposes only. should be separated from class 5 and 8 and be segregated from class 3 and 4. - Corrosive Substances (Class 8): should be separated from class 2,3,4, 5 and 6. - Reactive with water (Class 10) should be kept dry. 6.4 For the storage together of corrosive materials (class 8), acids and bases must be separated from one another. 6.5 Class 10 materials should preferably be stored indoors. If stored outdoors, the containers must be water tight and capable of withstanding rain and damp. Page 2 of 3

17 EP-026H Segregation & Storage of Drummed Material & Waste Material 6.6 Any specific storage instructions for particular materials must be followed e.g. This Way Up. 6.7 The separation distances between different classes may be filled with compatible classes or inert non - reactive materials. 6.8 All drums are to be on solid secure pallets, no drum is to be in direct contact with the ground. 6.9 Drums are not to be stored in the centre to allow easy access to pallets, nor are they to be stored over drains All drum must be in a sound condition, any drums that are swelling, have major indentations or sever rusting should be replaced and have their contents re-drummed The Chemical storage areas and Waste Storage Shed are to be inspected once a month for the presence of leaks, quality of labels, quality of drums and to ensure that segregation is maintained. See EP-23 Inspection of Drum Compound & Drum Store. EP-28 Integrity Testing of Waste Chemical Store. 7.0 RECORDS Records will be maintained by the relevant departments for a minimum period of 2 years.
