HSSE

HSSE | Northern Tiger Marine Terminals Inc.

Safety Is
Operational
Discipline

Northern Tiger Marine Terminals applies Health, Safety, Security and Environmental principles throughout the way terminal and marine activities are planned, controlled and performed. Our HSSE framework is built around disciplined execution, competent people, effective risk controls and responsible stewardship.

HSSE Control Framework
Operational Priority
People Protection, competency and safe work practices
Process Risk-based operating and process safety controls
Security Protection of facilities, assets and operations
Environment Prevention, monitoring and responsible resource use

Zero
Compromise
On Safety

Every operation begins with a fundamental question: can it be performed safely, responsibly and under effective control?

Where the required controls are not in place, work is not treated as acceptable simply because it is urgent, commercially important or operationally convenient. Safe execution is a condition of operational readiness.

This principle applies to terminal activities, product receipt and transfer, marine interfaces, maintenance, inspection, contractor activities, emergency response and supporting corporate functions.

Protect People. Protect Operations. A strong HSSE culture supports reliable performance, asset integrity, customer confidence and long-term operational resilience.

Four Disciplines.
One HSSE Standard.

NTMT's HSSE approach brings health, safety, security and environmental responsibility into a single operating framework. Each discipline supports the others and is considered when activities are planned and executed.

Health

We promote working conditions that protect employee, contractor and visitor wellbeing. Occupational health considerations are incorporated into work planning, exposure controls, workplace practices and workforce awareness.

Safety

Safe work procedures, hazard identification, permit controls, process safety and operational discipline provide the foundation for preventing injuries, incidents and loss of containment.

Security

Security measures are designed to protect personnel, terminal assets, products, information and critical infrastructure while maintaining controlled access to operational areas.

Environment

Environmental protection is integrated into terminal activities through pollution prevention, spill preparedness, responsible resource use, waste controls and compliance with applicable environmental requirements.

Risk Control
Identify Recognize hazards and exposures
Assess Evaluate consequence and likelihood
Control Apply effective preventive measures
Improve Review performance and strengthen controls

Risk Managed
Before Work
Begins

Effective HSSE performance depends on understanding operational risk before work starts. NTMT's approach emphasizes planning, hazard recognition, control verification and continuous learning rather than relying solely on response after an incident.

Hazard Identification Work activities are assessed for foreseeable hazards and operational exposures.
Permit & Work Controls Higher-risk activities are subject to appropriate authorization and control measures.
Process Safety Operational safeguards focus on preventing loss of containment, equipment failure and uncontrolled process events.
Performance Review Findings, observations and incidents provide opportunities to strengthen future controls.

Safe Operations
Start With
Competent People

Equipment and procedures are only effective when the people using them understand their responsibilities, recognize hazards and have the competence to perform their work safely.

Training

Role-appropriate HSSE training supports awareness, operational readiness and safe execution of assigned responsibilities.

Competency

Personnel are expected to possess the knowledge, skills and practical understanding required for their assigned activities.

Contractor Safety

Contractors and service providers are expected to work within applicable NTMT HSSE requirements and established site controls.

Safety Communication

Clear communication, reporting and workforce engagement help identify hazards and reinforce responsible operating behavior.

Environmental Protection Is Part Of The Operation

Responsible terminal operations require careful management of environmental risk. NTMT's environmental approach is focused on prevention, preparedness, control and compliance throughout the operating lifecycle.

Spill Prevention

Operational controls and inspection practices support the prevention and early detection of conditions that could result in product release or environmental impact.

Waste Management

Waste handling practices are intended to support responsible segregation, storage, handling and disposal in accordance with applicable requirements.

Resource Stewardship

Operational planning considers responsible use of energy, materials and other resources while supporting efficient and environmentally conscious terminal activities.

Prepared For
The Unexpected

Emergency preparedness is an essential component of responsible terminal operations. Planning, communication and response arrangements are designed to support the protection of people, assets and the environment when abnormal conditions occur.

Emergency Response

Established response arrangements support coordinated action during fires, spills, releases and other operational emergencies.

Communication

Defined communication channels support timely notification, escalation and coordination during emergency situations.

Fire Protection

Fire prevention and response considerations form an important part of terminal emergency planning and operational controls.

Spill Response

Preparedness measures support rapid containment, escalation and response to potential product releases and environmental incidents.

Compliance Is
An Operating
Requirement

NTMT is committed to conducting its activities in accordance with applicable laws, regulations, permits, recognized industry practices and internal operating requirements. Compliance is treated as an essential element of responsible business conduct rather than a separate administrative exercise.

Strong HSSE practices are important not only to our workforce, but also to customers, commercial partners, communities and other stakeholders who depend on responsible and reliable terminal operations.

Customer Confidence

Disciplined HSSE practices help provide customers with greater confidence that terminal activities are managed through defined controls and responsible operating practices.

Asset Protection

Effective risk management supports the integrity, availability and long-term protection of terminal infrastructure and critical operating assets.

Responsible Operations

A mature HSSE culture supports responsible relationships with employees, contractors, customers, communities, regulators and other stakeholders.
