4. GENERAL HSSE REQUIREMENTS

4.1 HSSE POLICY:

The COMPANY HSSE Policy, Appendix 1, is the principle health and safety document for all its activities. The policy is signed by the AGM and the management team and defines the COMPANY’s HSSE objectives. It is expected the CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER will have its own equivalent HSSE policy that will be reviewed by COMPANY prior to contract award. In particular the CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER’s policy must include engagement and support for all employees, sub-CONTRACTOR/PURCHASERs and other stakeholders in the shared responsibility of achieving the policy objectives.

4.2 PLANNING :

4.2.1 Hazard Identification, risk assessment and determining controls.

Structured risk assessments must be conducted for all activities to ensure that hazards which pose potential Health and Safety risks are identified, assessed and controlled by elimination or reduction to be As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) and tolerable as defined by the risk tolerability criteria.

4.2.1.1 Risk assessment

4.2.1.1.1 Hazard Identification (HAZID) Workshops

The CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER must ensure that formal HAZID workshops are conducted prior to the commencement of each phase of work and in particular whenever the scope or natures of the work changes or new hazards are introduced. These studies must systematically identify the health and safety hazards associated with all activities and specifically address known key risk areas relevant to the scope of work being assessed. The workshops must also assess potential emergency scenarios and the types of response, equipment and support required for control and recovery. HAZID workshops must include activities to meet the requirements of the BG Health Risk Assessment Guideline BGA-HSSE-OCH-GL-1503 and the BG HAZID Guideline BGA-HSSE- SAF-GL-1513. The pre-mobilisation CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER HAZID workshop with COMPANY in attendance; will include as a minimum the COMPANY life savers.

7


Rev - B

HAZID workshops outputs must be recorded in the CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER’s HSSE Risk Register and include detail of identified hazards, recommended actions and any requirements for the conduct of further risk assessment studies. These actions must be closed off prior to work commencing.

The HSSE Risk Register will be reviewed at the monthly COMPANY/CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER meeting. Foe work involving Simultaneous operations viz.

Construction activities simultaneously with Production operations

Construction activities simultaneously with drilling activities

Production activities simultaneously with drilling activities

A SIMOPs review workshop will be conducted where the activities will be reviewed, risk assessed and a SIMOPS matrix generated stating those activities that can or cannot be performed simultaneously.

4.2.1.1.2 Risk Mitigation

Once hazards and risks have been identified, control measures (single or in combination) must be implemented to eliminate or reduce risks to be As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).

4.2.1.1.3 Risk Management

Actions generated from hazard identification / risk management processes must be recorded in the CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER HSSE Risk Register. The following information must be recorded for each hazard:

• The recommended actions; • The person responsible for completion of the action; • The target date for completion;

• The person responsible for monitoring satisfactory close out and effectiveness of

actions.

Actions sheets must be sent to the responsible person/s and their responses recorded on the system.

4.2.1.1.4 Job Safety and Environmental Assessment

COMPANY believes the quality of this process is the key to achieving our safety targets and therefore will focus its assurance process on the quality of delivery. All CONTRACTOR/PURCHASERs must implement a process for Pre start JSEA’s. The overall objective of establishing a JSEA process is to enable work groups to effectively manage the risks involved with completing certain work activities. The completion of a JSEA is an administrative measure, which is reliant upon the work group to have a good knowledge and understanding of the content of the JSEA and to put the required actions/controls identified in the JSEA into place when performing the work.

8


Rev - B

The CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER will ensure that all hazards associated with construction related activities are identified and managed through a JSEA process.

4.2.1.1.5 Personal Risk Assessment

A personal risk assessment is a formal, documented pre task planning process that involves the individual work team member in hazard identification and control. A variety of processes exist to perform personal risk assessments such as:

• Unsafe Acts Prevention: What am I about to do? What could go wrong? How could I do it safely?

• Take 2 or Take 5 • SLAM: Stop, Look, Assess, Manage.

CONTRACTOR/PURCHASERs must ensure that a personal risk assessment process is in place for their

Workforce.

4.2.1.1.6 Hazard reporting

All CONTRACTOR/PURCHASERs must implement a Hazard Observation Reporting (HAZOB) Procedure to ensure all hazards are captured, rectified and reviewed. The hazard observations and actions must be retained in a hazard register. KPI’s, the target number for completion will be set prior to work commencing. All hazard observations are to be documented in CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER Hazard Observation booklets or similar system, and processed by the CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER. All Hazard Reporting and Corrective Action forms must be reviewed and not be filed as complete until all recommended and approved remedial action items have been implemented, with feedback communicated directly to the person who submitted the hazard observation form. It is recommended that the person raising the hazard should attempt, where appropriate, to remedy the hazard themselves. Where this is not feasible they should communicate this hazard to those who may be affected and initiate close out before submitting the hazard observation card.

4.2.1.1.7 Communication of Reported Hazard

The CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER must ensure that the Management team members discuss significant hazards that are reported on a Hazard Observation cards and the remedial action taken at the next management team meeting. Where an HSSE Committee has been established, all significant Hazard Reporting cards must be submitted to the HSSE Committee for review.

4.2.1.1.8 Communication of Hazard Reporting Procedure

The Hazard Reporting Procedure and use of the Hazard Reporting cards must be discussed and explained as part of the induction program and continually discussed at toolbox meetings. All Hazards that have the potential to impact on other CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER’s personnel or operations are to be reported to the appropriate CONTRACTOR/PURCHASER management team/s. The Hazard card reporting system is an essential component of the lead indicator process. Hazard awareness and action
