1 Title: Confined Space Entry Program Procedure No.: WYN Page: 1 of 15 Preparer: Owner: Approver: EHS Hub Team Member EHS Hub Team Member EHS Hub Manager 1. PURPOSE To set forth additional site requirements at the BASF Corporation ( BASF ) Wyandotte, Michigan ( Wyandotte ) site necessary to comply with BASF policy BC , Confined Space Entry, and State of Michigan s General Industry Safety Standard Rules R R , Confined Space Entry and General Industry Health Standard Rules , Permit Required Confined Spaces. 2. DEFINITIONS 2.1. See 2.0 of BC , Confined Space Entry for a complete list of BASF Definitions related to confined space Confined Spaces Spaces (such as tanks, vessels, bins, silos, boilers, vaults, pits, ditches, or sewers) which can be bodily entered, have limited or restricted means of egress, are not designed for continuous employee occupancy, and have one or more of the following characteristics: contain or have the potential to contain a Hazardous Atmosphere (such as having held flammable, explosive, acidic, caustic, toxic materials) or where oxygen enriched or deficient atmospheres or noxious odors may exist contain a material that has the potential for engulfing an entrant have an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a smaller cross-section, or contain any other recognized serious safety or health hazard, such as, ionizing radiation, electric shock, temperature extremes, or moving parts. Note: Ladders and temporary, movable, spiral, or articulated stairs are considered a limited or restricted means of egress. Fixed industrial stairs will be considered a limited or restricted means of egress when the conditions or physical characteristics of the space, in light of the hazards present in it, would interfere with the entrant s ability to exit or be rescued in a hazardous situation Confined Space Rescue Team A site-wide group of volunteers from maintenance, production, engineering and EHS who are properly trained, equipped and authorized to perform entry rescue in Confined Spaces. i:\master\datakeeper\wyandotte SAFETY STANDARDS

2 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 2 of Entry The action by which a person passes through an opening into a Confined Space and is considered to have occurred as soon as any part of the entrant's body breaks the plane of an opening into the space Entry Supervisor (Permit Issuer) The operations/owning department person (such as operations supervisor, process owner or team leader) responsible for determining if acceptable Entry conditions are present at a Confined Space, issuing Confined Space Entry Permit, overseeing Entry operations, and terminating Entry activities, as required Limited/Restricted Egress Areas that are difficult to exit quickly, or A space deeper than 4 feet which does not have a permanent stairway or ladder Site Safety Center of Excellence (COE) Multi-disciplinary team established to facilitate site safety-related activities. Cost Center oversight of Confined Space Rescue Team Permit Acceptor The person in charge of the Entry Team that: attests that their personnel entering the Confined Space are fully trained and the required equipment has been inspected and is functional. walks down the job and reviews safety requirements with permit issuer and signs the Permit Acceptor part of the Entry Permit Operations/Owning The Department that owns or controls the Confined Space and requests that a Confined Space Entry be performed. 3. SCOPE Applies to all Personnel at the Wyandotte site. 4. PROCEDURE 4.1. With Corporate Policy/Procedure Persons entering a Confined Space must comply with the Authorization requirements specified in of BASF procedure BC ,Confined Space Entry. This procedure is in compliance with BC ,Confined Space Entry. It is reviewed annually.

3 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 3 of 15 Employee participation at the Wyandotte site shall comply with the requirements specified in of BC ,Confined Space Entry General Requirements Operations/Owning Department The Operations/Owning Department issues the Confined Space Entry Permit. Prior to issuing the permit the Permit Issuer and Permit Acceptor shall: personally inspect the confined space preparation, review precautions taken, review personal protective equipment to be used, review procedures and instructions for all personnel involved in the assignment, ensure the permit is located at the work site, provide an opportunity for the confined space entrant or authorized representative to observe atmospheric monitoring Issuance and Authorization No person shall enter a Confined Space without the prior issuance and posting of the entry permit at the Confined Space entrance Confined Space Exemptions Areas determined not to meet the definition of a Confined Space by joint opinion of the Process Owner, Maintenance Team Leader and EHS Confined Space Entry Exceptions Exceptions to required equipment or conditions may be granted through joint signatures by the Process Owner (or properly trained staff-level designee) and the Maintenance Team Leader (or Maintenance Facilitator) on the Entry Permit. Only those equipment and condition exceptions as specified on the back side of the Entry Permit are allowed Immediately Dangerous to Life & Health ( IDLH ) Policy While it is a policy not to routinely enter atmospheres immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) it is recognized that certain emergency circumstances (e.g. Confined Space rescue, etc) may require IDLH entry IDLH entry will not be performed where a flammable or explosive atmosphere exists Permits Permits shall be issued and cancelled according to the requirements specified in 4.2 of BC ,Confined Space Entry. The Entry Permit content will comply with Corporate and regulatory requirements.

4 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 4 of 15 The Wyandotte site has the following additional requirements with the following title and order: Step Topic BC Content Special Procedures, Instructions, Exceptions 3 Duration Authorization Entry Permit Termination 6 Completed Entry Permit The Wyandotte site entry permit (see Attachment) contains all components required by of BC Equipment or condition exceptions are noted on the Entry Permit and signed off by the Process Owner (or staff-level designee) and Maintenance Team Leader (or Maintenance Facilitator). The permit shall not be valid for longer than one shift of personnel performing the Entry activities (maximum 16 hours). New (different shift) Entry Supervisors must re-validate or re-issue the entry permit and inform the Permit Acceptor of the supervision change. The permit must be signed by designated representatives from both the Operations/Owning Department (Permit Issuer) and Maintenance (Permit Acceptor). The permit can be terminated by anyone participating in the Confined Space Entry based upon: Completed entry operations or 16 hours has elapsed since permit issuance. A condition that arises that is not allowed under this procedure. A condition that arises that any participant considers unsafe. Permit Acceptor or crew changes. Upon completion or discontinuation of the Entry, the completed Confined Space Entry permit shall be returned to the Operating/Owning department supervision. Any problems encountered during an Entry shall be noted on the permit so that appropriate revisions to the site program can be made. Completed permits shall be retained at an interval no greater than one year to facilitate the program review stated in 4.8 Contractor Employees shall be debriefed concerning the program and any hazards that were created or confronted during Entry at the end of any Entry operation. (Table continued on next page)

5 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 5 of PROCEDURE cont d Permits cont d. Step Topic BC Preparation and Isolation Requirements Techniques If product or other material remains in the vessel after cleaning, careful review of the situation by Operations/Owning and maintenance personnel is required to identify special provisions (e.g. re-cleaning, increased/ improved monitoring, ventilation or ppe). At least two Rescue Team members be notified and on site to respond (per Corporate Std ). Air testing can only be conducted by Operations/Owning Personnel who have received documented training in span gas checking, calibration, testing equipment use, and data interpretation & Preparation and Isolation. All adjoining piping and hazardous energy sources shall be de-energized and isolated per Lock, Tag, and Try procedures contained in BC and WYN NOTE: If the Confined Space contains internal power driven mechanisms, such as agitators, all switch gear and other power sources shall be " locked, tagged and tried". Look for stored inertial energy of rotating equipment, as well as, all hydraulic and pneumatic energy sources. 3. Contaminated Equipment The Confined Space and inter-connecting equipment shall be decontaminated in compliance with the Contaminated Equipment procedure WYN Radioactive Devices Shutters must be Locked and Tagged Out as specified in the site procedure WYN , Lock, Tag & Try. (Table continued on next page)

6 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 6 of 15 Step 7 (cont d) Preparation and Isolation Requirements (cont d) Postings & Barricades Cautions signs and barricades must be posted as specified site procedure WYN Caution Confined Space Work Underway will be posted in the immediate work area during entry. Yellow caution tape may be used to additionally highlight the area. Numerous Confined Spaces exist at the Wyandotte site and vary in size, configuration (layout) and hazard type. The types include tanks, tank trucks, reactor vessels, railcars, pits, pipes, ditches, active excavations, etc. Note: The Site does not distinguish between Permit and non-permit Confined Spaces as defined in the OSHA Standard, Permit-required Confined Spaces ( ). Entry into a Confined Space always requires a permit. Posting of signs is not typically performed for those Confined Spaces that fall into general categories of known or apparent Confined Space status. The Business Unit, however, may choose to post any and all Confined Spaces that fit into these general categories. Employees are informed of the existence and location of the Unit s Confined Spaces through appropriate training. The Unit is responsible for evaluating the workplace to determine if confined spaces exist and to ensure that personnel are adequately trained to recognize a confined space and the potential hazards associated with such space. Confined Spaces that do not fall into general categories of known or apparent Confined Space status that could inadvertently have someone enter the space, are identified through posting. Postings will read, " DANGER, CONFINED SPACE, ENTER BY PERMIT ONLY". Barriers are used to prevent unauthorized entry into open manholes or excavations. (Table continued on next page) 4. PROCEDURE cont d.

7 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 7 of Permits cont d. Step Topic BC Preparation (cont d) and Isolation Requirements (cont d) 8 Entry Spaces appearing to be Confined Spaces but determined not to be are exempted from the requirements. Confined Spaces which do not contain a hazard or potential hazard capable of causing physical harm or for which adherence to a requirement would increase the hazard (e.g., blowing air in a dusty environment) may be also be exempted from one or more of the Program requirements. Exemptions must be documented in writing. Exemptions must be reviewed and signed off by the Process Owner (or Staff-level designee), Maintenance Team Leader (or designee), and EHS Safety Coordinator (or designee). Standing Confined Space exemptions must be identified and a list maintained by Operations/Owning. 1. Communications Same as Corporate Standard. 2. Attendant Locations Same as Corporate Standard. 3. Ladder Use Requirements of WYN , Portable Ladders. 4. Electrical Equipment Use Requirements of WYN , Portable Electric Power Tools. 5. Ventilation See blower requirements on Entry Permit. 6. Welding & Cutting Requirements of WYN , Hot Work Permits, and WYN , Personal Protective Equipment. 7. Entry into Tank Cars & Tank Trucks Requirements of WYN , Loading and Unloading of Railcars, and WYN , Grounding and Bonding of Nonstationary Equipment. (Table continued on next page)

8 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 8 of PROCEDURE cont d Permits cont d. Step Topic BC Entry s (cont d) (cont d) and Atmospheric Conditions An Entry Permit will not be issued for Confined Spaces containing less than 19.5% or greater than 21% oxygen. The oxygen analyzer must be in close proximity to the entrants at all times. An Entry Permit will not be issued for Confined Spaces with any detections on the combustible gas meter. The combustible gas meter must be in close proximity to the entrants at all times. Monitoring for toxic level gases will be conducted if a Confined Space contains or has contained a toxic material which can be detected by direct-read methods. The entry supervisor will consult, as necessary, with EHS to determine applicable direct read methods. In situations where the concentration cannot be maintained below the permissible limit, EHS is contacted to evaluate acceptability of issuing a permit and assist in determining the appropriate ppe and other equipment necessary for safe entry. Where a potential hazardous atmosphere is being generated during the course of the entry operations, such as during welding or burning, supplied air respiratory protection is required unless testing has been conducted to verify the absence of a hazardous atmosphere and the space is being ventilated. When conducting excavations, the project-specific IH protocol outlined in the Project Excavation Guide (PEG) obtained from the M.E.S.S. Team for soil excavations must be followed. Periodic toxic level re-testing or continuous monitoring may be required due to changing conditions or creation of toxic conditions (e.g. welding, etc.). All testing will be documented on the Permit with the test date and time, acceptable level (including toxics), test result and the date of the last span gas check or calibration and tester s initials. Entrants must be notified of their right to witness (or have a designated representative witness) any atmospheric testing performed within the Confined Space as required in the 1999 OSHA Standard clarification. The entrant can request re-testing of the atmosphere anytime there is a reasonable belief that atmospheric conditions within the Confined Space have significantly changed.

9 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 9 of PROCEDURE cont d Permits cont d. Step Topic BC Physical Hazards Heat, humidity, and cold stress hazards during Confined Space Entry shall be controlled to prevent adverse health effects to Authorized Entrants. 10. Required Entry Equipment Each entry must have the equipment specified on the Entry Permit unless appropriately excepted with Process Owner (or staff-level designee) and Maintenance Team Leader (or Maintenance Facilitator) signature Monitoring Monitoring must be consistent with that specified in s 4.5., BC , Confined Space Entry, and site requirements are as follows: Topic Air Testing BC Maintenance and Calibration Site procedure WYN , Maintenance of Combustible Gas and Oxygen Detectors , 2. Order of Testing - Same as Corporate Standard Frequency The atmosphere in the Confined Space shall be monitored continuously during the Entry activities for oxygen. The atmosphere in the Confined Space shall be monitored continuously during the Entry activities for flammable gases/vapors when work activities to be performed in a Confined Space are expected to generate flammable gases/vapors or when the confined space has contained flammable gases/vapors. In situations where continuous monitoring is technically infeasible, pre-determined periodic monitoring shall be conducted as appropriate. Confined Spaces that contain toxic gases/vapors/mists shall be evaluated to determine the appropriate sampling frequency that will accurately assess the atmospheric exposure Entry Permit Documentation Step 7 in 4.3. of this procedure

10 Procedure No.: WYN Page: 10 of Rescue Rescue Services must be consistent with that specified in s 4.6., BC , Confined Space Entry, and site requirements are as follows: Topic BC Rescue 1. Retrieval System Full body harnesses with retrieval lines attached to a mechanical device or fixed point are required for all entries unless the design of the space prohibits use or creates greater hazard. Exceptions to use of harnesses, lines and/or mechanical or fixed point retrieval systems must be written on the Entry Permit. 2. Rescue Services Non-entry methods of rescue will be used first. Attendants are trained to perform non-entry rescue; however, prior to initiating non-entry rescue, the attendant must notify at least two members of the rescue team. In no case will a person attempt non-entry or entry rescue without training according to the requirements of this program. 3. Rescue Team Organization The site rescue team may be comprised of maintenance, production and site services personnel. Rescue Team activities are overseen by the Site Safety COE. The Rescue Team Roster is posted on the Intranet. 4. Rescue Team Notification Members of the rescue team must be notified that a Confined Space entry is taking place before the entry permit is authorized. A minimum of two rescue team members must be on site and available for timely response for all Confined Space entries. Any member of the rescue team may be contacted. Solicitation of rescue team members for planned off-shift entries must be performed during the day-shift prior to the off-shift entry. The contacted rescue team member is responsible for advising the Entry Supervisor (Permit Issuer) if more than two members are needed for that entry. Requests for additional rescue team members may be made by Operations/Owning or maintenance performing the entry. The Entry Supervisor (Permit Issuer) is responsible for contacting all necessary rescue team members to establish a rescue team for that entry. 5. Rescue Team Communication A method of summoning rescue (i.e., radios, pagers, etc.) must be established prior to commencement of entry operations and noted in the "Instructions to Summon Rescue" section of the permit. The Confined Space entry attendant will contact the rescue team via the established method in the event that a rescue may be necessary. Drills to practice summoning rescue and evaluate response time shall be conducted periodically. (Table continued on next page)

SIGNATURES: New Permit Issuer Issued Date/Time Permit Acceptor Problems encountered during entry: ATTENDANT INFORMATION STATION LOCATION: DUTIES: INITIALS: PERMIT TERMINATION DATE/TIME: / REASON: EQUIPMENT The following equipment is required to be present/utilized for confined space entry: Fire Extinguisher - This item is a requirement for which an exception is NOT permitted. The fire extinguisher must be placed near the confined space entry port. Safety Harness and Line - This item is required to be worn by each person who enters the confined space. An exception is permitted only when the confined space design prohibits use of the harness and tag line for rescue. Continuous Flammable Vapor and O2 Monitor - This item is a requirement for which an exception is not permitted. This monitor must be hung inside the confined space in close proximity to the entrants. Ladder (Secured in place) - This item must be secured in place if it is needed for entry or exit. This item may not be excepted if it is required for exit or entry. Lighting - This item may be excepted if lighting is not required for visibility and work will be completed prior to sunset. Lighting will have guards to prevent contact with the bulb. GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) - Electrical devices taken into a confined space (including lighting) must be protected by a 110 VAC GFCI or have self-contained batteries. The GFCI MUST BE TESTED PRIOR TO CONFINED SPACE ENTRY. The Electrical classification of the area may necessitate more stringent standards. Two-Way Radio for Attendant - This item may only be excepted if an alternate means of communicate is available which does not require the attendant to leave the space. Air Mover (Blower) - This item is required to be placed and operating to blow fresh air into the confined space. IT IS UNSAFE AND NOT ACCEPTABLE to only exhaust air from the confined space such that fresh air is drawn in; It is acceptable to utilize local exhaust ventilation at a point source of contamination (e.g. welding) while blowing fresh air in. Non-Entry Rescue Equipment - This item may NOT be excepted. Supplied Air Respirator (SAR) - If the Confined Space does not achieve necessary air quality parameters (Toxicity <PEL, LEL=0% and Oxygen = %) or air quality cannot be guaranteed by means of monitoring, or changing conditions (i.e. painting, welding, etc.) may compromise the integrity of air quality, SARs must be used by the Entrants and be available to the Attendant. If the hazardous material can be monitored meets air quality criteria (toxicity, LEL and Oxygen) and changing conditions are not expected, SARs may be excepted by designated Operations/Owning personnel trained and authorized for exception signatures. Excavations: Excavation SARs may be excepted if the requirements below are also met: 1. One side has a slope of 1:1 or shallower. 2. An air mover of sufficient size to cause noticeable air movement at the bottom of the excavation is used. NOTES: SARs shall be tested outside the confined space for a minimum of 10 seconds prior to entry in order to assess working condition. In addition, all fit test, medical clearance, training, donning/doffing and respirator inspection provisions of the Unit Respirator Program applies. Entrants shall be given the opportunity to witness all atmospheric testing and to request re-testing if there is a reasonable belief that conditions may have significantly changed since the previous test.
