Safety Message
Dear all employees and business partners,
Early this year SCG Cement recorded fatal accidents of two employees, both involving driving vehicles. In
first case, a concrete truck driver in Indonesia drove down a slope and suddenly avoided an overtaking motorcycle
until the truck falling from a bridge. The latter was an engineer in Thung Song district who had his car crashed with a
cement truck going out from a factory. I was terribly sad after knowing the accidents and felt sorrow with their family,
particularly the new engineer who had just worked for two years. That was the starting moment of his work life and
also the precious moment brining pride to his parents. But it was great sadness for young's death.
I would like to repeat to all employees that, "All injury can be prevented", and hope everyone believe it. If
not, what SCG has been trying to raise concerns over safety is nothing. Belief is an important beginning. To make
accident prevention measures effective, all of us should have the same thought, provide cooperation, be attentive to
each operating process to ensure safety, and also encourage safe practices as corporate culture and working spirit.
All employess and business partners should always live with safety awareness.
I would like to give all employees and busines partners suggestion on safe practices as follow:
1. Heads of all departments and supervisory levels shall be a role model in safety awareness; always inspect
onsite conditions; and repeat safe practices every time as possible to all employees and business partners.
2. Driving is a type of machine control work, so drivers have to learn about safe and proper driving. Everyone
should partake in Safety Defensive Driving program provided by SCG, either in theory or practical. The
program also provides useful skills for observing and evaluating possible dangers. The technique is very useful
for all of us.
3. Another driving problem is alcohol drinking. Some people stand on the word, "Don't Drive Drunk". It is like
when we allow employees to drink prior to operation, but don't take so much that feel drunk. I thought that it is
not considered proper safe practice. However, I thought that some companies' campaign of "Drink Don't Drive"
sounds good and hope everyone comply with it. All seniors have to be a role model for the juniors. Always
preparing yourself prior to any parties. If drinking, do not drive yourself or instead taking public vehicle and
dare to say no. This is the company's policy.
4. Hopefully, everyone learns from loss of life in those accidents in SCG and is reminded of it in order to create
mutual learning and cooperation in preventive measures to avoid recurrence.
Finally, I am fully determined and hope that all employees always realize that “safety is important and spirit
of work”. Always keep safety awareness in all kinds of work in order to make safe practices corporate culture
and operation path of SCG Cement.

Best wishes,

Geological survey is to do research on the earth and what the earth has inscribed into stones.
Thus, geological survey is to study and keep records appearing in bedrocks, including outcrop study,
exploration-based study and geophysical exploration in order to analyse geological origin of each area.

Geological survey is done by either in-house study or field study. Field study in forests or
remote areas could take months, either locally or internationally and in land or sea. Mining work may
cover ground work. Each operating site poses high risk and probably causes stress. Thus, safe
practices for workers are as follows:
8.3.1 Personal preparedness prior to operation
