COVID-19

PROTECTION RULES AGAINST COVID-19 FOR CONTRACTORS and external partners (NON-MOL GROUP)

Due to the favourable development of the number of positive cases of coronavirus, from March 9, 2022 we will mitigate the special rules of MOL, in accordance with the measures of the Hungarian Government.

• The obligation to use a mask is terminated, so it is not obligatory, but it is still recommended to use face mask as the risk of the epidemic has not been eliminated yet.
• In order to ensure the maximum safety of the operator staff, we ask you to continue using the mask when working in MOL's control rooms, and when applying for a permit.
• During Turnarounds - if prepared - the requirements set out in the separate pandemic plan must be followed.
• Contractor antigen and PCR testing will not continue, with the exception of contractors defined according to a separate pandemic plan.

However, please continue to observe the following:

• The current coronavirus measures in force in Hungary must be observed, followed at all times.
• Only healthy employees may enter MOL's sites.
• Increased attention should be paid to hygiene and hand washing.
• If a contractor working for MOL is suspected of having a confirmed infection or illness, it must be reported immediately to the MOL contact person.
• Providing toilets, sanitary containers, smoking containers, dining rooms for their own employees is primarily the responsibility of the contractors.
• Use of the “ MeFTIR Pre-Permit Module ” is still expected to speed up the work permission procedure and reduce the waiting time.

The reductions are valid from 9 March 2022 until revoked or until a new notice is published.

Best Regards,

MOL SD&HSE

PROTECTION RULES AGAINST COVID-19 FOR CONTRACTORS and external partners (NON-MOL GROUP)

The coronavirus epidemic is still present in our lives and the rapid spread of the omicron variant has triggered the fifth wave of the pandemic. We are also experiencing the outbreak of the epidemic, so we have introduced new protection measures at our own employees for the health and safety of all our colleagues.

We also tighten the protection rules at our external partners, suppliers, contractors and visitors, so from 10th January 2022 we kindly ask you follow the following measures:

General rules in MOL territories:

Only healthy employees may enter MOL's sites. In the event of any symptoms suggestive of a coronavirus, entry shall be prohibited, if the symptoms occur during work, work must be suspended, the worker concerned and those who working with him must be isolated, and the case must be reported to the land owner.

Entering and working in enclosed spaces of MOL facilities:

• The use of an FFP2 mask indoors is mandatory in the MOL plant area (eg operator rooms, laboratories, control rooms)

• In offices and other MOL buildings using a mask - that covers both the nose and the mouth - is mandatory for everyone(minimum criterion is medical mask).

• Immunity Certificate is required for external partners, guests and visitors who enter MOL's buildings for the purpose of meeting, consultation, discussion, business negotiation or interview with a MOL Colleague.

• Please note that motor vehicles are also considered as enclosed spaces, so if several people travel together, everyone is required to wear a mask.

Working Outdoor:

• It is mandatory to use - minimum medical- mask outdoors, if keeping 1.5 meters distance is not possible, or when meeting/discussion with a MOL Colleague,

• Wearing a mask is not necessary for employees working in a same working-group if an employee of MOL Group or another company is not present.

• Immunity Certificate is not required for work to fulfill the contract (eg installation in a technological area).

Mask usage and Immunity Certificate will be monitored on a random basis: the staff of the HSE, the Security Operation and the Security Service can request and check them on a random basis on MOL Sites and in the Buildings.

Only 1 person applying for a work permit can stay in the FFP2 mask at the same time , only for the most necessary time and continuously. Other workers applying for a work permit must wait outside the building.

In the case of companies notified separatly, the use of the “ MeFTIR pre-permit module” is mandatory, in the case of our other partners the use of the pre-permit module is strongly recommended, which can significantly reduce the work licensing process.

Providing toilets, sanitary containers, smoking containers, dining rooms for their own employees is primarily the responsibility of the contracting companies. In smoking areas please maintain a distance of at least 1,5 meters.

In addition to wearing a mask, please observe the following measures:

• avoid eating, having a coffee or smoking together;

• avoid handshakes, fists, other personal contacts;

• ventilate frequently and thoroughly;

• pay extra attention to hand hygiene, frequent and thorough hand washing;

• avoid personal discussions, try to use online platforms instead.

We would like to emphasize that use of masks is not a recommendation but mandatory as described above, similar health and safety rule to wearing other personal protective equipment. Violation of the rules may have consequences, in accordance with the regulations on violation of occupational safety and health regulations.

In the light of the evolution of the epidemic situation, we are constantly examining the need to introduce more possible new control measures.

We have learned a lot about the coronavirus: if we make responsible decisions, act in a timely manner, and act in a disciplined manner, we can protect ourselves and secure the operation of the company. We ask that if you have not already done so, take the opportunity to be vaccinated and, without immunity, strictly follow the mask use rules.

Thank you for your cooperation!
Kind regards,

MOL SD&HSE

Protection rules against COVID-19 for contractors and external partners (Non-MOL Group)

As infection rates are rising sharply in Hungary, so in line with government measures, MOL is stepping up protection and tightening rules to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. The fourth wave of the coronavirus has arrived in September and the daily number of new infections began to rise sharply in October.

The situation is serious, but different from like a year ago. While vaccination provides protection for many of us, many of our colleagues are at greater risk for infectivity of the delta virus variant. Now we need to pay special attention to them, so from 2 ^nd November 2021 we kindly ask you follow the following measures:

General rules in MOL territories:

Only healthy employees may enter MOL's sites. In the event of any symptoms suggestive of a coronavirus, entry shall be prohibited, if the symptoms occur during work, work must be suspended, the worker concerned and those who working with him must be isolated, and the case must be reported to the land owner.

Only one person can be present and only for the utmost necessary time-period, while and where work permits are issued based on the above continuously wearing mask.

Providing toilets, sanitary containers, smoking containers, dining rooms for their own employees is primarily the responsibility of the contracting companies.

The use of the “MeFTIR Pre-Permit Module” is still expected /obligatory for eligible companies.

Protection rules against COVID-19 for contractors (Non-MOL Group)

The fourth wave of the coronavirus has arrived: in the recent weeks we have found more than 40 positive cases during testing, and also smaller chains of infection have also developed within the company. The situation is serious, but different from like a year ago. While vaccination provides protection for many of us, many of our colleagues are at greater risk for infectivity of the delta virus variant. Now we need to pay special attention to them, so from 27 September 2021 we will introduce the following measures:

General rules in MOL territories:

• Only healthy employees may enter MOL's sites. In the event of any symptoms suggestive of a coronavirus, entry shall be prohibited, if the symptoms occur during work, work must be suspended, the worker concerned and those who working with him must be isolated, and the case must be reported to the land owner.
• When entering an enclosed space of MOL facilities, regardless of whether you have a COVID immunity certification using a mask is mandatory (minimum criterion is wearing a medical mask).
• Please note that vehicles are also considered as enclosed spaces, so if you are not traveling alone, everyone is required to wear a mask.
• Use of masks will be monitored on a random basis: HSE, Security Operations and Security Services staff, as well as workplace managers, may request the presentation of COVID immunity certificate from any colleague who does not wear a mask at sites and in office buildings.
• In smoking areas maintain a distance of at least 1,5 meters.
• Only one person can be present and only for the utmost necessary time period, while and where work permits are issued based on the above continuously wearing mask.
• Providing toilets, sanitary containers, smoking containers, dining rooms for their own employees is primarily the responsibility of the contracting companies.
• The use of the “MeFTIR Pre-Authorization Module” is still expected for eligible companies

Other rules for shutdowns in Duna Refinery:

• All subcontractors affected by shutdowns are subjected to weekly antigen self-tests, and also FER tests 25% of employees on a weekly basis.
• Contractors are not allowed to enter the central office building.

In US areas:
In US areas, the above rules apply with the following additions:

• For those who don’t have a valid COVID immunity certification it is generally mandatory to use a FFP2, FFP3, N95, or KN95 mask without a safety valve in open areas, if a distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained. Wearing a mask is not mandatory for employees working in a same working group if an employee of MOL Group or another company is not present.
• In areas of Gomba-Demjén, Kiskunhalas-Szank and Kelet-Tiszántúl US regions wearing a FFP2, FFP3, N95, or KN95 mask without a safety valve is mandatory regardless of having a COVID immunity certificate
  • in enclosed spaces
  • in open areas if a representative of other company or MOL Group (others then the members of working group) is present and the distance of 1.5 meters cannot be maintained

For all areas:

In addition to wearing a mask, please observe the following measures:

• avoid eating, having a coffee or smoking together;
• avoid handshakes, fists, other personal contacts;
• ventilate frequently and thoroughly;

Violation of the rules may have consequences, in accordance with the regulations on violation of occupational safety and health regulations.

In the light of the evolution of the epidemic situation, we are constantly examining the need to introduce more possible new control measures. Taking into account the specifics of each plant area and the local vaccination rates, we consider whether it is necessary to introduce a general mask use rule for all logistics sites in order to maintain plant safety.

We have learned a lot about the coronavirus over the past year and a half: if we make responsible decisions, act in a timely manner, and act in a disciplined manner, we can protect ourselves and secure the operation of the company. We ask that if you have not already done so, take the opportunity to be vaccinated and, without immunity, strictly follow the mask use rules.

Thank you for your cooperation!
