All employees who work with, or are exposed to, hazardous chemicals are to
be trained in Hazard Communication, in accordance with Philippine regulation
All employees who use Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) will be trained in
the proper use of such equipment
According to OSHA, in selecting the most suitable eye and face protection for
employees should take into consideration the following elements:
GOGGLES. These are tight-fitting eye protection that completely cover the
eyes, eye sockets and the facial area immediately surrounding the eyes and
provide protection from impact, dust and splashes. Some goggles will fit over
corrective lenses.
FACE SHIELDS. These transparent sheets of plastic extend from the eyebrows
to below the chin and across the entire width of the employee's head. Some
are polarized for glare protection. Face shields protect against nuisance dusts
and potential splashes or sprays of hazardous liquids but will not provide

Class A hard hats provide impact and penetration resistance along with
limited voltage protection (up to 2,200 volts).
Class B hard hats provide the highest level of protection against electrical
hazards, with high-voltage shock and burn protection (up to 20,000 volts).
They also provide protection from impact and penetration hazards by
flying/falling objects.
Class C hard hats provide lightweight comfort and impact protection but offer
no protection from electrical hazards.
BUMP HAT designed for use in areas with low head clearance.
LEGGINGS protect the lower legs and feet from heat hazards such as molten
metal or welding spark. Safety snaps allow leggings to be removed quickly.
TOE GUARDS fit over the toes of regular shoes to protect the toes from
impact and compression hazards.
METATARSAL GUARDS protect the instep area from impact and compression.
Made of aluminum, steel, fiber or plastic, these guards may be strapped to
the outside of shoes.
PAPER-LIKE FIBER used for disposable suits provide protection against dust
and splashes.
DUCK is a closely woven cotton fabric that protects against cuts and bruises
when handling heavy, sharp or rough materials.
7. Respirators
Respirators serve to protect the user from breathing in contaminants in the air, thus
preserving the health of one's respiratory tract. There are two main types of
respirators. One type of respirator functions by filtering out chemicals and gases or
airborne particles from the air breathed by the user. Gas masks and particulate
respirators are examples of this type of respirator. A second type of respirator
protects users by providing clean, respirable air from another source. This type
includes airline respirators and self-contained breathing apparatus.
Guarding of hazardous machinery
JGCI Chemical Corporation installed machine guarding in order to protects the
operators fingers from being caught in the unprotected position by reducing the
opening to a size so that it cannot be passed with body parts such as hands and
fingers. Beside this hazardous equipment, exposed walkways, access-ways and
working platforms also have a guarding.

Safe Ideas Award
The Safe Ideas Award was implemented at JGCI Chemical Corporation in order to
maximize commitment at all levels within the organization. The aim is to work as a
team towards the achievement of this shared objective. It works by promoting
ideas, proposals and suggestions to improve health and safety, regarding
organization, management, behavior and technical improvements. The more
Plant location
The geographical location of the final plant can have strong influence on the
success of the industrial venture. Considerable care must be exercised in selecting
the plant site, and many different factors must be considered. Primarily the plant
must be located where the minimum cost of production and distribution can be
obtained but, other factors such as room for expansion and safe living conditions for
plant operation as well as the surrounding community are also important. The

Nowadays, Bulacan is among the most progressive provinces in the Philippines. Its
peoplethe Bulaqueos (or Bulakenyo in Filipino) are regarded as highly educated,
enterprising and industrious.

the Climate Map of the Philippines by the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and
Astronomical Services Administration (PAGASA). Being a Type 1, Cavite has two
pronounced seasons the dry season, which usually begins in November and ends
in April, and the rainy season, which starts in May and ends in October.
Transportation
There are three main highways traversing the province: Aguinaldo Highway
runs in a general north-south direction; the Governor's Drive runs in a general eastwest direction and the A. Soriano Highway runs within the coastal towns on the
west. The existing road length computed in terms of road density with respect to
population at the standard of 2.4 kilometers per 1,000 population has a deficit of
3,532.71 kilometers.
In 2011, the Cavite Expressway (CAVITEX) was opened, which lessened the
heavy volume of vehicles on Aguinaldo Highway in Bacoor. This project decreased
the traffic congestion in Aguinaldo Highway in Bacoor, so travel time from Imus to
Baclaran/Pasay is lessened to only one hour.
Last July 1, 2013, the Kaybiang Tunnel, the country's longest underground
highway tunnel at 300 meters was opened along the Ternate-Nasugbu Road piercing
through Mt. Pico De Loro's north ridge that shortens the travel time from Manila to
the western coves of Cavite and Nasugbu, Batangas.

As shown in the table above, the Province of Cavite succeed over the two
provinces based on the grade range given by the proponents. Its proximity to Metro
Manila and the source of raw materials favored its success. Also, it gained an easy
access to various transportation and receiving body of water. The main plant will be
situated in Tanza, Cavite where it is approximately 40 km south of Manila and the
nearest possible place from the source of the major raw material located at Rosario,
Pasig City. Hence, the proponents considered the Province of Cavite as a suitable
plant location for the JCGI Corporation.
