4. Energy Conservation

HAECO carries out different energy saving programs to improve energy efficiency

performance, and to reduce electricity consumption as well as carbon dioxide emission.

4.1 Electricity

In 2008, total electricity consumption increased slightly by 0.9% to 30 MWh, which was in

line with the increase of operating manhours at Base Maintenance and Line Maintenance

being 4.4% and 0.3% respectively. Electricity consumption at Component and Avionics

Overhaul was reduced by 11.6%, which was mainly due to the full operation of water cooled

chillers in 2008. It is estimated to have reduced energy consumption by approximately

471,750 kWh as compared to that of 2007, representing a reduction of 269 tonnes of carbon

dioxide emission.

4.2 Town gas

The town gas consumption at Base Maintenance increased by approximately 2.1% to

3,830,160 MJ in 2008. The increase of number of staff contributed to this slight change as

the consumption of meal increase as well. Besides, more food is prepared and transferred

from Hangar 1 staff canteen to Hangar 2 staff pantry. At Component and Avionics Overhaul,

gas consumption decreased by 0.7% from 1,270,032 MJ in 2007 to 1,260,720 MJ in 2008.

Overall, there was no significant change of town gas consumption at both Base Maintenance

and Component and Avionics Overhaul.

Remark: There is no town gas supply at our Line Maintenance (LM) division

installed in Year 2007 heaters were installed in Year 2008

4.3 Solar water heaters at Component Avionics Overhaul

With our success of using solar energy to heat up water by employing the solar water heater,

two more solar water heaters have been installed at the roof of the Tseung Kwan O building

in 2008. There are totally four solar water heaters providing pre-heated water for staff

canteen use. It is a clean and renewable energy source and emits none of the greenhouse

gases that contribute to global warming.

4.4 Diesel and petrol vehicles

The total diesel and petrol consumption was 3,313 kilo liters in 2008, an increase of 1.7%

compared to the consumption in 2007. The increase was driven by the higher operation

usage around Tech 3 building and Hangar 2 as well as the increase in the number of vehicle

fleet. 4.5 LED pilot streetlight There are totally 19 street lights along the boundary of Hangar 1. In the 1st phase of the LED

streetlight energy saving project, 7 of the 19 streetlights have been replaced by LED lights in

the trial run. The power consumption of existing SON fixtures is 250 watts each, and the load

of the LED fixtures is 150 watts. This represents a 40% decrease in the power consumption

of each fixture. The 1st phase installation was completed in November 2008, durability and

LED light life will be taken into the consideration for later results.

5. Emissions to the Atmosphere

One of the major sources of air pollution comes from vehicles. HAECO is continuously

investigating and checking on the feasibility of using cleaner fuel in daily operations. HAECO

has carried out a B5 bio-diesel pilot test at the end of year 2008.

5.1 Climate change study

HAECO is striving to reduce carbon dioxide emissions by conducting different energy saving

measures and responding to Carbon Disclosure Project 7 questionnaire which forms

Attachment II. Greenhouse gas data is summarised in Appendix I.

5.2 Bio-diesel pilot run HAECO has been given bio-diesel from a local registered recycler for trial use. The bio-diesel

is recycled from waste cooking oil collected from local restaurants. A light goods vehicle is

used for this pilot test and observation is based on a predetermined quantity of biodiesel.

Results of the smoke level for the baseline (B0) and B5 are shown in Table 1 below. The

smoke level of the vehicle reduced has from 32.7 Hartridge Smoke Unit (H.S.U.) to about 28

Hartridge Smoke Unit (H.S.U). The percentage of reduction is about 14 %. It is concluded

that there is a reduction in smoke emission by using B5 through this test. HAECO is

considering the feasibility of using biodiesel for the vehicle fleet.

6. Waste Management

Waste management is a hot issue for the Hong Kong government as the landfill sites will be

saturated in the near future. HAECO continues to implement different waste reduction

programs in the working areas. In 2008, the disposed industrial and commercial waste at

Base Maintenance decreased by 295 tonnes 21% compared to that of 2007, mainly

attributable to less wastes generated from various operation areas.

6.1 Paper and cardboard recycling

Paper recycling at Base Maintenance decreased by 11.7% compared to that of 2007. It is in

line with “less waste produces less recyclable waste”. At the Component and Avionics

Overhaul, paper recyling increased by 5% in 2008. 6.2 Halon 1301 recycled At Tsueng Kwan O, HAECO employs a Halon recycling machine to recycle the aircraft fire

extinguishing material during maintenance of fire bottle of aircraft. The recycled amount of

Halon 1301 in 2008 increased by 21% as compared to that of last year. The major reason

was due to maintenance of 27 fire bottles from third party customers and new aircraft fleets. 6.3 Absorption chiller Having submitted the radio frequency hazard report to the government authority, the

installation progress is now in progress and it is expected that the chiller would be in

operation in the third quarter of year 2009. This machine can save chemical waste disposal

and air-conditioning running costs.

7. Water Resource Management

HAECO implements various water saving measures to improve water usage. The trade

effluent surcharge aims at recovering the additional cost of treating trade effluent when

pollutant exceeds the determined level. HAECO has already carried out the waste water

sampling check and meets the requirement of Drainage Services Department. It can save

HK$30,000 per year on waste water treatment with validity for 3 years.

The following chart shows that water consumption at Component and Avionic Overhaul had

increased by 31.1% from 14,627 m3 in 2007 to 19,181 m3 in 2008. The reason was due to the

potable water consumed by the water cooling chiller. Water consumption for the cooling

chiller is estimated to be 5,015 m3 per year.

8. Environmental Awareness

Staff members are encouraged to participate in different environmental programs to enhance

their environmental awareness. They can acquire updated environmental news and help

better protect the existing working and living environment.

8.1 Community tree planting at Tai Lam Country Park

HAECO cooperated with Friends of the Earth to carry out a three-year tree planting project in

Tai Lam Country Park in 2007. During the past two years’ visit to the woodland, it is found

that the growth of the seedlings indicated that all species including Gordonia axillaries (local

species), Schima superba (local species), Castanopsis fissa (local species), Cinnamomun

(local species), Machilus chekiangensis (local species), Tristania conferta (exotic species),

Acacia (exotic species) and Eucalyptus (exotic species) have got satisfactory growing

condition. The overall growth rate was over 90%.

9. Safety Policy Our changing environment requires an enterprise to react accordingly. Occupational health

and safety is one of the key issues calling for our attention.

Today, occupational health and safety requirements emerge into a new era. Since human

resources is commonly recognised as one of the most important assets of a company,

stakeholders therefore not only require companies to make profits but also be socially

responsible to the community, with its vision and mission clearly stated. As a responsible

listed company, HAECO has set up a safety management system which conforms to the legal

requirement as well as other international standards.

Safety management means the management functions connected with the carrying on of an

enterprise that relate to the safety of personnel in the enterprise, including the planning,

developing, organizing and implementing of a safety policy and measuring, and auditing of

the performance of those functions.

Among all the essential elements of the management system, safety policy is of the utmost

importance. In order to enable that the management system has the mechanism of

self-regulating and self-improving, it is necessary to review the safety policy from time to

time.

Responding to the latest Swire Group’s Health and Safety Policy as well as to the suggestions

from our external safety auditor, HAECO’s Health and Safety Policy has been reviewed and

duly updated as described hereunder.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________




HAECO is committed to safeguarding the health and safety of all of our employees,

customers, visitors, contractors and others who may be affected as a result of aircraft

engineering activities carried out. We recognise that health and safety at work should not

be compromised while conducting its business. Safety and health at work are our priorities.

Our Commitments

Conforming to statutory requirements is a basic duty. We endeavor to achieve higher

safety and health standards and practices relevant to its business activities.

Taking all reasonably practical measures to provide and maintain safe and healthy

working environment.

Adopting risk-based management approach to identify, evaluate and control hazards

arising from its activities.

Striving for continual improvement in health and safety performance by setting

objectives, targets and action programs that will be measured regularly.

Implementing and improving safety management system to ensure all aspects of health

and safety are continuously identified, evaluated, implemented, monitored and

reviewed.

Ensuring all work activities are carried out by personnel who are adequately informed,

instructed, trained and supervised.

Implementation

The Environmental and Safety Steering Group, chaired by Director (Finance), will

provide directives to ensure that the objectives of this safety policy are met and the

policy is implemented and achieved through the line management.

All levels of line management are responsible for maintaining and improving health and

safety at work of their particular areas.

Employees and contractors have an equal duty to work safely, use safety equipment,

report all hazards identified and follow Company procedures and the established safety

codes. Employees and staff representatives are involved in making the work system

and environment as safe as possible.

The Environmental Protection and Industrial Safety Department will play an advisory

role and providing supporting services to the management and all employees in

executing this policy.

10. Accreditation of OHSAS 18001:2007 Certification

HAECO recognises that it is of prime importance to strive for the best and to keep on

upgrading its performance in order to enhance its competitiveness in the market. Although

aviation industry follows extremely high standards of operational integrity and safety that are

governed by various aviation authorities and our clients, HAECO still realises that having

been accredited with the certification of an international safety management system, does

reflect upon the standard of our current management system and increases the marketing

regime of our business.

Once the Company sets this directive, acquiring a certification of an international

occupational health and safety management system, OHSAS 18001:2007 was targeted. It

involves the upgrading from our existing legally-based safety management system which is

mandated under the local Factories & Industrial Undertaking Ordinance to an international

OHSAS 18001:2007 standard.

The Component and Avionics Overhaul (“CAO”) Department is the pioneer to take the

challenge. To prepare for the accreditation, staff members attended classes to learn the

OHSAS 18001:2007 safety management system and the internal auditing skills. Having

gone through almost one year of preparation work inclusive of the compilation of relevant

manuals, CAO has been accredited with the OSHAS 18001:2007 certification from the Hong

Kong Quality Assurance Agency on 28th August 2008.

Getting the accreditation is not the end but instead, is the new momentum for CAO to further

strengthen the safety management system. After that, more safety experience sharing

visits to Swire group entities and to other safety network groups were arranged. Through

these experience sharing, staff members have upgraded their safety awareness and have

acquired more safety knowledge. This has definitely enhanced the safety performance at

CAO way forward.

11. Design of Facilities and Workplace Aircraft maintenance requires lots of work-at-height activities like the access to and egress

from wings, stabilizers and crown areas, etc. Our daily operations also resemble that of any

other typical maintenance industries. It involves lots of manual handling works especially

regarding the assembly or disassembly of aircraft parts and components. Workshops with

well-equipped facilities and adequate ventilation are also important to enhance a healthy and

safe environment to staff. To achieve these, we have is to design and provide healthy and

safe facilities and workplaces to our staff thereby promoting working efficiency as a result.

Followings are some of the improvements that have been made.

11.1 Safety Enhancement at Work Stands for Working at height

The original design configuration of the docking system in hangars is based on the

large wide-bodied aircraft B747. Therefore, mobile scaffold system has been used as

a supplementary facility to provide proper access for carrying out maintenance and

overhaul works for smaller size aircraft such as B757/ B767. In order to provide a

secure working platform to staff, and to minimise the hazards during the installation

and dismantlement of the scaffold as well as to increase work efficiency, a B757/ B767

series docking system including stabilizer dock, nose dock, wing dock and cargo

compartment access stand has been developed.

Based on the same principle, B747 Main Landing Gear Access Stand is also undergoing

fabrication to replace the old scaffold system.

11.2 Equipment enhancement for lifting/ manual handling operations

To enhance the stability of lifting operations and minimising the hazards associated with the

laborious manual handling operations, various new lifting equipment and/ or modification

works have been introduced by our in-house engineering departments. Here are some of

the examples

Retractable monorail hoist was installed at Bay 5 for lifting flaps

Lifting cage was installed at Seat Bay at Bay 6 for passenger seat conveyance to and from the

ground floor and 1/F.

injury during its maneuver

11.3 Provide better working environment

In order to reduce the paint mist concentration within the Paint Bay and to minimise the

disturbance to other staff working in the adjacent areas during the aircraft paint

spraying work, fixed panels have been installed at the nose area of the Paint Bay for

providing better work area enclosure. The fixed panels replaced the old plastic curtain

stripes and therefore, leakage of paint mist is minimised and the ventilation efficiency

within the Paint Bay is enhanced.

Local extraction system has proven to be one of the most effective and efficient means

to remove air contaminant generated from work at source. Such extraction system is

installed at the CLK Facilities Maintenance Workshop for removing toxic emissions

generated during welding work.

12. Emergency Preparedness A well-planned emergency preparedness is vital to provide quick and correct response during

the arising of unexpected incidents. It definitely can reduce injuries, illness, property

damage and impacts to the environment and public. We all know that “Practice Makes

Perfect”. Therefore, HAECO has practiced several types of emergencies drills each year.

Fire, chemical spillage and confined spaces life saving are the 3 main types of drills that are

carried out at both the CLK and TKO sites each year to ensure that emergency responses are

executed as planned. Post-drill reports are produced to review the adequacy and timeliness

of the responses. The main aim is to eliminate any possible shortfall that may happen

during the real emergency situation.

In 2008, massive fire training related to the use of fire extinguisher was conducted. During

the training, every participant gained hand-on experience in using potable fire extinguisher

to attack a real fire under a controlled condition. It provides valuable experience and

confidence to every trainee to control small fire at the source and prevent the fire from

spreading in case of fire outbreak.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________




13. Training and Awareness On-going training is necessary to help staff acquire new skills, knowledge and change

attitudes to cope with the ever changing health and safety requirements. Various training

means inclusive of classroom, practical as well as video trainings are used to enhance the

competency of staff.

13.1 Scissor Platform Operator Training

Because of their high mobility, accessibility and versatile characters, scissor platform is widely

used in aircraft maintenance activities to carry out works at high level. In order to meet the

Labour Department’s new guidelines regarding the training requirements of a scissor

platform operator, HAECO has tailor-made a comprehensive program on “Scissor Platform

Operator” training. Not only does this course covers the basic operating instruction and

safe guidelines, but it also focuses on the specifications and limitations of the platform as

well as the pre-operation inspection and test. This training would equip the operators with

all rounded safe operating skills and attitudes.

13.2 Video Training for Airport Ramp Operations

To receive the award of the “Best Airport” is by no means due to luck. It requires the

collaboration of all airport operators. Being a major aircraft maintenance operator at Chek

Lap Kok Airport, HAECO plays an important role in providing efficient and safe services to

airlines.

To reinforce this role, two ground safety videos have been produced with the collaboration of

the Airport Authority Hong Kong. Videos on the topics of “Standard Aircraft Turnaround

Process” and “Arrival Flight Handling Procedures” were made.

Scissor Type Platform Training

14. Safety Guidelines for Contractor

Health and safety is one of the main factors in the selection of appropriate contractors for our

works. Not only is it HAECO’s policy to protect the health and safety of our employees,

customers, visitors and contractors, we also believe that contractors’ past performance as

well as their management commitment on health and safety will reflect their quality of works.

To ensure the safety performance of contractors, continuous close monitoring on their safety

performance during work is one of our current strategies. In addition, it is also necessary to

state safety guidelines clearly in order that the contractor stays in line with HAECO’s health

and safety policy during the execution of contract. In 2008, a “Contractor Safety Handbook”

was formulated. It lists out all their legal liabilities, management responsibility on health &

safety, in-house safety rules together with the emergency handling procedures. All those

measures help the contractor to better understand HAECO’s safety standards and also to

better achieve them.

15. 2008 Safety Performance

Year 2008 was a year of rapid business growth for HAECO with strong demand for heavy

airframe maintenance and the line maintenance services. To cope with the growth,

workforce was increased by 7.5% in 2008.

The increase of workforce calls for higher demand in safety training, supervision and

coordination, especially for those new recruits who are not familiar with the working

environment. With concerted efforts, in 2008, we were able to reduce the Accident

Frequency Rate by approximately 7%.

However, on the other hand, the Accident Severity Rate increased 3.7% in 2008. Several

long accident leave cases had contributed to this increase and accounted for 38% of the total

accident leave days.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________




In view of past efforts in advancing the safety equipment and hardwares, it is time to put

more emphasis on the aspect of behavioral safety. One of the initiatives was the set up of

the Safety Review Workshop consisting the injured, supervisor, management staff to identify

the behavioral factors in accidents. At the workshop, special attention is to be paid to locate

causes of the unsafe acts and formulating relevant measures to tackle the problems.

A fatal traffic accident sadly happened in December 2008. In-depth investigation of the

accident was carried out and a series of safe driving initiatives were developed. Driving

improvement initiatives that include areas concerning the selection, training and assessment

of competent drivers, installation of speed monitoring device on vehicles, centralization of

driving performance data and establishment of reminding system to drivers will be

implemented in 2009.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________




16. Staff Safety Recognition

In collaboration with the Airport Authority Hong Kong (“AAHK”), HAECO continuously

supports fostering safety culture within the airport community by actively participating in

Airport Safety Campaigns every year.

In 2008, AAHK launched two campaigns, namely, Airfield Safety Campaign and Airport Staff

Safety Recognition Scheme. Both campaigns promoted the safety awareness of the airport

staff. It recognised and awarded those staff who made contributions to improve the safety

of the airport.

The Airfield Safety Campaign emphasized on four areas, namely:

Safety Role Model Selection

Safety Photo Shooting Competition

Safety Crossword Puzzle

Safety Health Talk

No significant current or expected impact.

No significant current or expected impact. Our aircraft maintenance hangar is designed to resist thewind load up to 250km/hr. For the sea level rise: heights above chart datum of our facilities such asHong Kong International airport facility is about 0.7 meters and Tseung Kwan O facility is 5.65 metersand return period of extreme sea level of 100 year storm surge is 3.65 meters.

HAECO's activities are unlikely to be altered by climate change issues as its GHG emissions arerelatively small. Aircraft emit substantial GHGs so climate change issue could have a significant longterm impact on the demand for HAECO 's services. Firstly there could be reduction in overall demandwith a particular impact due to scrapping older aircraft. Secondly there may be some demand foradditional maintenance to improve fuel efficiency.
