Training Procedures for Process Workers Date: February 14, 2009 In order to ensure that all process workers have the necessary skills and qualifications for production by March 20th, the Production Department will provide systematic training in work skills tailored to the specific requirements of each position, and these procedures have been established accordingly. I. Objectives of the training: Through this training, all process technicians will be able to take up their duties independently and carry out operations with precision. They will become familiar with all aspects related to technological upgrades of the facilities, as well as the processes involved in new facilities and the on-site operational procedures. Additionally, they will be able to carry out various process operations accurately and skillfully in accordance with instructions from higher authorities, meet the various process requirements set by those authorities, and possess the capability to conduct facility commissioning as well as start-up and shutdown operations. II. The training targets include process team leaders, chief process operators, and field operators. III. Training methods and requirements: A combination of process training and on-site work will be adopted; the timing of process training will be determined based on the volume of work on site, with training being arranged in a way that ensures progress in construction at the current stage. Depending on the circumstances, the existing process workers will be divided into two groups: one group will receive training in the morning and work on site in the afternoon ； One group works on-site in the morning and attends training in the afternoon. As the learning content progresses, assistance training is provided at the end of the training by departments related to instrumentation, equipment, analysis, storage and transportation, and utility systems. Employees who are required to receive training should, while working on site, reinforce their memory and understanding of the on-site processes based on the training content, carry out the corresponding three checks and four confirmations, discuss any issues that arise, and report them promptly. During the training, it is necessary to keep the room quiet, show respect for the instructors, and wait until the session is over to ask any questions or address any points that are not clear. And answer the training questions carefully, ensuring the answer sheet is neat and clean. The department heads responsible for conducting the training must carry out employee training within the specified time frame. If they are unable to attend as scheduled due to work or other reasons, they should report this to the human resources department, which will arrange alternative arrangements. Department heads must prepare thorough lesson plans and examination questions, and strive to explain and train the content in an easy-to-understand manner that is relevant to the respective production facilities, so as to ensure the quality of the training and achieve its objectives. IV. Training Content: The training should be based on the training objectives and the characteristics of different positions, and in conjunction with the actual operational processes. It involves a systematic study and understanding of the raw materials and product properties of this facility, the process operation procedures, the equipment and instruments used, the process operation parameters, DCS control operations, utility systems, emergency response plans, start-up and shutdown procedures, as well as safety in production. Each position should clarify its responsibilities and scope of work, and carry out operational drills for that position whenever conditions permit. 1 Process flow training requires trainees to study in detail the process after the plant modification, based on the process flow diagram and taking into account the actual conditions on site. Sufficient time should be allocated for discussions, and any issues encountered or points that are not understood should be communicated promptly with the relevant responsible persons. The training will take place from February 16 to March 6, and will be conducted by the process shift supervisor and Zhao Bing, the head of the Production Department. From March 7 to March 9, training on DCS control systems and basic knowledge of instrumentation and electrical systems was conducted, taught by Bai Junqiang, the director of the Instrumentation and Electrical Workshop. 2 Equipment training requires trainees to systematically study and understand the new equipment added to the modified units as well as the original equipment, to be able to operate pumps, towers, tanks, etc. proficiently, and to know their internal structures. The training will take place from March 9 to March 10, and will be led by Li Renhua, the head of the maintenance workshop. 3 Analysis training requires that employees undergoing training have a certain understanding of the properties of raw materials and products, as well as of process parameters and analysis methods. And the process of sampling, analysis, and testing was understood and put into practice. The training will take place from March 11 to March 12, and will be led by Minister Tian Guiguang from the Analysis Workshop. 4 Storage and transportation training requires that the employees undergoing training understand the operating procedures for the raw material tanks, finished product tanks, and intermediate tanks, as well as the loading and unloading processes, so as to ensure a smoother execution of the entire production process. The training will take place from March 13 to March 14, and will be led by Wang Changjiang, the director of the Storage and Transportation Workshop. 5 The requirements for utility engineering training stipulate that employees undergoing training must have an understanding of the circulating water system, steam and condensate systems, compressed air and nitrogen systems, as well as the boiler system; furthermore, they must be able to operate each of these systems independently, with the exception of the boiler system. The training will take place from March 15th to March 18th, led by Bao Chengquan, the head of the Utility Workshop, with Xu Jifei, the process shift supervisor, serving as an assistant instructor. 6 Safety training requires that employees receiving the training gain an understanding of the relevant safety laws and regulations, the company’s safety rules and regulations, the company’s characteristics, hazard sources and control measures, accident cases, as well as safety operating procedures. The training will take place from March 19 to March 20. Given by Kan Chunlei, the company’s safety officer. V. Establishment of training records: In order to better understand the structure of the talent pool in the process department, the human resources department is responsible for recording the training activities and assessment results of process engineers within the company’s personal record system. The department in charge must monitor the training effectiveness of the trainees to determine whether the training has led to changes in their skills and performance, and prepare an evaluation report. The training progress and assessment results serve as important reference factors for determining job assignments in the process workshop and for allocating tasks related to commissioning. When necessary, they can be linked to bonuses upon the successful commissioning of the equipment. VI. The personnel department is responsible for interpreting these regulations. February 14, 2009
