Safety Roadmap
By the end of the 3rd
quarter
of
2010,
Italcementi Bulgaria succeeded to achieve 59%
progress of the actions
planned in the annual
Safety Roadmap. In terms
of implementation of the
Group
Standards
for
Personal Protective Equipment and Work at Height,
have been started the first
actions from the recently
elaborated and approved
alignment programs. The
local enforcement of the
Group instruction for truck
passengers is being performed
according
the
schedule: special waiting
rooms have been dedicated in Devnya and
Vulkan plants, actions are
in progress for terminals,
local site specific procedures are in process of
elaboration.
The success of the communication campaign for the Safety Golden Rules (9 out of 10
rules are published) requires reinforcing the activity of the Safety talks animators in
order to reach the targets set on yearly basis. The established organization in both
plants for the regular safety zone inspection proves to be very efficient and it is
expected the teams to keep the same level of commitment. Vulkan Cement is the first
site having finalized the step of the safety improvement of the bulk cement trucks
loading. In Devnya Cement have been recently installed the stationary platforms for
safe servicing of the trucks hatches (please see chapter Safety improvements). The
relevant steps for Ruse and Damyanitza terminals are in process of project definition
and the realization of the projects is planned for the last quarter of the year. The
process on I-SAFE will be further reinforced during the forthcoming training sessions.
All these actions together with the specific steps for each plant, should remain in the
focus of our efforts, as we need during the last three months of 2010 to bring the Safety
Roadmap from 59% to full compliance.

Golden Rule N 9
Following the campaign
of the 10 Safety golden
rules
of
Italcementi
Group, launched last year
in all subsidiaries around
the world, we have
published Golden Rule
No 9 “I check my tools
and equipment before
using them”. The official
release was supported by
communication letter from
the General Director of
Devnya
Cement and
Vulkan Cement – Mr.
Nabil Francis. In line with
the steps in the Safety
Roadmap 2010, the last

going to be communicated during the last quarter
of the year, followed by
internal survey among the
staff to assess the
knowledge and implementation of the Golden
Rules.
SAFETY COMMUNICATION
Safety Pads
Mr. Fabio Sappia – Plant Manager in Vulkan
Cement have successfully launched the
initiative for the Safety Pads. The small
books dedicated to safety are intended to
facilitate the Managers and Supervisors in
their daily activities related to Safety. The
pads are containing blank forms for reporting
safety audits, safety talks and protocols in
case of rules violation. Easy to use, always
at
hand,
the
conception
of
this
communication tool was highly appreciated
and its implementation will be extended also
in Devnya Cement in the next months.

Safety Results
ITC Bulgaria keeps better performance in comparison with the average
indicators at Group level.
At the end of the period, on 12 months sliding course, the Frequency Rate (FR) for
employees is 2,7 and reflects 1 Lost Time Injury (LTI) in October 2009 and 1 LTI in
April 2010. The current FR level is following an increasing trend since October 2009
until when this indicator was 0 for a period of almost 3 years without LTI. The current
level of the TRIR = 9.4 is due to 7 accidents: 2 LTI (October 2009 and April 2010), 1
Restricted Work Duties (April 2010) and 4 Medical Treatment (2 in November 2009 +
1 in June 2010+ 1 in July 2010).
