standards for this purpose.
 SAFETY STANDARDS

All accidents happen because there are causes that generate them. These causes are classified into unsafe acts or actions of
the people who cause the accident and unsafe conditions when the element that triggers the risk is present in the
work environment. Statistics have shown that three out of four injuries resulting from electrical accidents are
caused by an unsafe condition, this means that injuries can be reduced in the same proportion if corrected
all the existing unsafe conditions in workplaces.

The worker plays a very important role in controlling all possible unsafe conditions that arise in a
electrical installation if these are detected in a timely manner. The strategy to reduce accidents generated by personnel that

In addition to the above, there must be specific safe work procedures for each work situation that must

According to the results of the risk analysis, they must timely provide their workers with elements in accordance with the work.
safety, tools and all the equipment required for the execution of the work, as well as their replacement when due to wear or
loss is required, as established in SST-M01 Matrix of Personal Protective Equipment and Provision. The use of protective elements
personal, defined for each area or process, applies to visitors. As a general rule, the work clothes for staff exposed to electrical risk will be
made of 100% cotton material, without metal accessories.

ELECTRICITY
For the workgroups that operate in transmission or distribution processes, in addition to the necessary equipment and tools for the work, it must
to consider the provision of communication equipment, first aid kit, equipment to comply with golden rules according to its needs,
dielectric gloves according to the voltage level and that meet technical standards that guarantee their effectiveness in protection and materials for
señalización y demarcación.

ISES S.A.S. will implement the SST-F17 Inspection of PPE and provisioning, and no worker should start work without using the required protective equipment according to
the risk factors to which it will be exposed.

It is the obligation of workers to use and care for protective equipment, which must be inspected by workers before each use.
to be in poor condition, it will not use it and will manage its replacement or repair when it is possible. In case of doubt about the condition of your equipment

dependency on safety and health at work, to the watchman or to the Joint Committee on safety and health at work.

THE TEAM AND MINIMUM PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT ARE:

a) WORK CLOTHING, SAFETY HELMET, AND FOOTWEAR: In general, for all jobs it is mandatory to use the clothing and footwear provided by
ISES S.A.S., complete and without modifications to its original design. Whenever entering and working in generation plants and substations, it is necessary to use
dielectric safety helmet, with impact protection that complies with current national or international standards. Drilling is prohibited,
paint, cut or add metal or other parts to protective helmets. For work at heights, a helmet with a chin strap must be used.

B. EYE PROTECTION: In addition to the other tasks or locations identified in ISES S.A.S., visual protection must be used in the
following places or specific tasks:

• When handling acids or electrolytes, organic solvents or hot compounds, and in general, chemical substances.
• When cutting and welding work is carried out, as well as tinning.
• When working with electrically powered machine tools, pneumatic tools, or hydraulic cutting and compression tools.
• When cutting or splicing wires, or cleaning them with a brush.
• In general, when using tools on materials that can produce flying particles, such as chiseling, grinding, etc.
• When operating or maneuvering electric circuits.
• In steam generators, when inspecting the combustion conditions through the sight glass.
• When working and moving through industrial workshops, the use of visual protection will be mandatory.

C. HAND PROTECTION: In addition to the other tasks or places identified in ISES S.A.S., gloves with the properties must be used.
for use in the following places or specific tasks:

• When handling cutting objects, sharp edges, abrasive materials, splinters, or when using tools that may produce them, or when manipulating insulators and others.
porcelain or glass objects that may have sharp edges.
• For the handling of acids, organic solvents, and other irritating, toxic or corrosive substances.
• For handling hot objects

D. RESPIRATORY PROTECTION: In addition to the other tasks or places identified in ISES S.A.S., respiratory protection must be used with the
properties for use in the following places or specific tasks:

• Jobs in which there are or exist dusts, gases, or vapors that are asphyxiating, irritating, or toxic.
• Where metallic fumes are generated, such as in cutting, welding, or soldering work.
• Asbestos management
• It is forbidden to replace the mask or respirator with any fabric item.
• In all cases, it must be ensured that there is ventilation in the site, allowing for the activities to be carried out in a safe manner.

E. HEARING PROTECTION: When entering, moving through, or working in areas where sound pressure levels exceed permissible limits, it is necessary to
use hearing protection. In addition to the other tasks or locations identified in ISES S.A.S., visual protection must be used in the
following specific places or tasks:

• When handling acids or electrolytes, organic solvents or hot compounds, and generally chemical substances.
• When cutting and welding work is carried out, as well as tinning.
• When working with electrically powered machine tools, pneumatic tools, or hydraulic cutting and compression tools.
• When cutting or splicing cables, or cleaning them with a brush.
• In general, when using tools on materials that may produce flying particles, such as chipping, grinding, etc.
• When operating or maneuvering electrical circuits.
• In the steam generators, when inspecting the combustion conditions through the sight glass.
• When working and moving through industrial workshops, the use of eye protection will be mandatory.
EMERGENCY CARE PLAN
The rescue plan is designed according to the risks of the activities carried out at heights and basic rescue equipment is assigned.
certificates for the entire operation and have trained personnel or brigadiers for that purpose, which is defined in SST-P11
Rescue procedure for work at heights, through which it is ensured that the worker performing work at heights has
a communication system and a support person available to immediately report the emergency if necessary.
