reinforce
awareness of the importance of
safety procedures, and ensure
that processes are effective,
Braskem conducts preliminary
assessments in order to manage
and mitigate potential risks.
The process is continuously
strengthened by the leaders,
who work rigorously on risk
management in processes,
operations, and logistics. To
this end, several management
methods are used, such as
change management, accident
and incident investigations, as
well as audits of barries and
technical actions to reduce
risk in scenarios of greater
significance. The Process
Safety pyramid is used to
classify unwanted events
according to their magnitude
of damage.

In 2016, after three years without any cases, Braskem identified a
case of work-related disease (depression) in the São Paulo (Brazil)
office. The investigation was completed in July and included the
opinion of external and independent specialists on the case and
its history. During the evolution of the analysis, the Team Member

Incident with loss of containment
and release of product below cut-
off point.
Incident
with small loss of
containment or system failure that
could potentially lead to a process
accident.
One of the highlights of the year
was intensifying the analysis
of the smaller process safety
occurrences, usually considered
"near-misses," allowing for
increased preventive learning
in the units, as well as further
revision of the corporate
standards associated with
process safety. It is also
worth highlighting the focus
on strengthening human
trustworthiness at Braskem,
the continuity of the barriers
audits, and the implementation
of technical risk mitigation
actions for the most significant
scenarios.
In 2016, Braskem recorded
nine Tier 1 events, down from
11 events in the previous year.
The accident rate was 0.22,
consistent with the best process
safety benchmarks of companies
in the US chemical industry (0.41
was the average benchmark for
US companies in 2015).View entire presentation
