The operation is in FULL COMPLIANCE whit Standard of Practice 1.1 requiring an
operation Select cyanide transport routes to minimize the potential for accidents and
releases.
The OXQUIM Peru SAC (Hereinafter OXIQUIM) operation for the transport and storage
of sodium cyanide was subject to an audit. The Auditor was verifies and all questions
related to the transport protocol ICMI were answered.
OXIQUIM has the procedure for the Transport of Sodium Cyanide, whose goal is to
transport sodium cyanide, without causing damage or injury to persons and / or the
environment and the preservation of substances transported from UNITRADE
(Distribution Warehouse OXIQUIM contracted) to the point set by the client.
All activities associated with Transport Practice 1.1 are performer by companies’
certified by ICMI
OXIQUIM designated by the carrier for the transportation service conducts an annual
review of the criteria used for evaluation of the route to: traffic density, cities, bridges,
canals, road conditions, route design (curves, berms, number of lanes), altitude,
crossroads, detours, weather conditions and the socio-political conditions complying
with the provisions of the Code.
In the evaluation report route was identify as a major risk: Urban areas, high traffic,
speeding vehicles, winding road (characteristics of the Peruvian geography), and
transport of other dangerous goods.
7
OXIQUIM states that in conjunction with the Transport Company must conduct the
evaluation of the route prior to the first transport to a customer base or annual basis
by the Chief Security Officer Security or the Transportation Company and Chief
operations. OXIQUIM states that in conjunction with the transport company must
conduce the evaluation of the route prior to the first transport to a customer base or
annual basis by the Safety Officer or Safety Manager of the carrier and a Chief
operations OXIQUIM cyanide. The evaluation of the route will be regularly update by
the carrier OXIQUIM and find new de Cyanide of the OXIQUIM.
The evaluation of the route will be regularly by the carrier OXIQUIM and to find new
significant hazards or risks the trip report to be present at the end of each of the
customer service.
NOTE if check blind spots in the path analysis, they will be assess as a danger the
safety and the driver will provide the necessary communications equipment to maintain
communications throughout the route.
Technical stops, Fire Stations and Hospitals or Medical Centers in the area, as well as
phone and contacts.
This activity is perform in company representative who hires OXIQUIM companies to
transport sodium cyanide, which are certify by the ICMI.
It was evident that OXIQUIM Transport hires certified by the ICMI like CITSSA
LOGISTICS and EDEWIT.
OXIQUIM, identify the Major bridges, tolls, to consumption Fuel Stops and Points of
Techniques stops, Fire Stations and Hospitals or Clinics Zone, ASI COMO Also
Telephones and Contacts.

Transportation Of OXIQUIM sodium cyanide which if they are certified by the ICMI.
The existence of letters sent to the fire companies and medical centers to
communicate their roles in case of any emergency and open communication channels
between OXIQUIM and emergency support centers were check. Each of the support
centers that are consider in the Emergency Plan OXIQUIM sealed these.
Among the letters were consider emergency support centers (fire companies and
medical centers) near OXIQUIM and routes used by carriers hired by OXIQUIM.
For the transport of sodium cyanide OXIQUIM asks its carriers have a control room
also carriers with GPS system continually provide the positioning of each of the
vehicles at all times. As well as continuous speed supervision at each point of the route
from the starting point to the end then this information delivered to the Safety Officer
OXIQUIM.

OXIQUIM also establishes specifications using trucks escort during the transit of
sodium cyanide being due to use ONE (01) escort van for every three (03) or fewer
units of traffic load.
Only you can upload ONE (01) Container for each platform and can only drag a wagon
chassis. The convoy may include one or more escort vehicles at your request. Convoy
displacement is dependent on weather conditions; Convoy Leader evaluate the safety
of the route in each case, may stop the convoy if satisfied that the conditions do not
allow safe travel.
After each trip, the convoy leader must serve the "Trip Report" where findings that
compromise safety during transport they are included within the assessment route for
modification evidences.
OXIQUIM information given (MSDS, emergency record and record of product
information) to support emergency centers (health centers and fire companies) along
the above routes, evidenced by a letter signed and received with such information.
This activity is carry out for external support centers could be prepare for emergencies.
In addition, external support centers comments are ask to manage risk as a way to
query and get feedback.
When OXIQUIM carrying sodium cyanide, the control room of Transport, continuously
provide the positioning of each of the vehicles at all times, as well as continuous
monitoring of the velocity at each point of the route. This control done through

transport route takes into account the chemical cyanide fitness and clearly points out
the use of trucks to transport sodium cyanide considering the characteristics of this
equipment and the structural conditions of the road where the transport of sodium
cyanide is perform are evaluated. Information on road conditions are define in the
Roadmap document. The Emergency Plan describes the response actions for
emergencies previews. These were verify during the audit.
It also establishes the logical line of actions that must take the leader and convoy
drivers when irregularities arise during transport of sodium cyanide, including civil
commotion, adverse conditions, bad weather, traffic congestion and unplanned stops.
OXIQUIM establishes two levels of emergency response: The objective is to measure
the efficiency of the response procedure to ensure that those involved act in case of an
emergency, following from the Emergency Plan.
The Head of Operations OXIQUIM takes into account the rapid preliminary compilation
of the situation, gathering the basic facts as known at the time the who, what, where,
when, how and why of the situation, contact the person responsible and retransmit
information obtained continuously communicates with the Convoy Leader and will
handle the requirement authorities. It also sets the limit of 20 tons between Level 1,
Level 2 is, of course, arbitrary, and circumstances will decide when Level 2 is required.
Within each level, there may be interaction between teams own and / or third parties
and governmental response, both in regards to resource control and indicating in
Contingency Plan that interaction.

responsibility OXIQUIM and his team, the company transportation and emergency
response companies.
Drivers with Enforcement Supervisors are responding in an emergency they pass
medical tests to check physically for these activities and have receive the training
necessary for efficient emergency response conditions.
Each truck must have require amount of Emergency Response Teams and the security
convoy also must have a Response Kit spills and poisoning (antidote kit) and Personal
Protective Equipment to be verify before the trip, and verification before the start of
travel and and periodic emergency response training. Check this practice was evident
after reviewing the records of the Checklist Pre-Trip.
OXIQUIM verifies that the carrier has the necessary equipment for emergency
response in case of a larger and second activation OXIQUIM spill response activates
the second answer. Inspection records of the response teams prior to each trip
18
through the emergency Checklist before Trip were check. The presence of these teams
in the convoy was verify. The Emergency Plan indicates staff functions in an
emergency, also the emergency equipment to be use in both the first and second
response. The Emergency Plan describes specific emergency response roles and
responsibilities of staff. The verification units is perform prior to each trip, for which the
use of Pre-Checklist Travel format required.
OXIQUIM trains staff and staff of transport company. The transport vehicle operators
receive initial and periodic refresher training in emergency cyanide (Spill and
poisoning) annually and emergency response procedures including implementation of
the Emergency Responce Plan. Additionally organizes lectures before the trip indicating
