Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-7 / Drops Program (DP) While primary focus of this program shall be on the derrick, this policy applies to all other equipment areas of the rig that are determined to pose a hazard of falling objects, such as tool rooms, cranes etc. This program applies to; Saudi Aramco D&WO, Contractor and Service Companies. 1. Responsibility A. The Rig Operator Person In Charge (PIC) is responsible for ensuring that the inspection required by this requirement are entered into the rig’s applicable preventive maintenance system and that the instructions contained therein are complied with. B. The Rig Operator PIC shall ensure that all temporary equipment arriving at rig location for use in situations where it may create a dropped object hazard that is not covered by the inspections required under this requirement is accounted for on a log sheet that is to be maintained by the Rig Operator PIC until such time as the temporary equipment is removed from the rig. C. The Rig Operator PIC is responsible for maintaining the temporary equipment log, and ensuring that an inspection checklist is added to “DROPS” for as long as the temporary equipment is in use on the rig.
2. Procedure A. Identify the Derrick zones. Divide the derrick into small manageable sections to help you define areas for identification. The number of zones shall depend on the size of derrick and the amount of equipment in the derrick. Typically five zones are used: 1) Zone1: Travelling Equipment 2) Zone 2: Crown Section 3) Zone 3: Monkey board to Crown 4) Zone 4: Rig Floor to Monkey Board 5) Zone 5: Lower Substructure and BOP deck. B. Compile an Inventory of Equipment. The inventory listing process will require considerable effort and commitment from various personnel and could take some time depending on available resources. The time and effort spent compiling this list will greatly affect the success of the program. An accurate and detailed list is crucial and will benefit all involved. Record the information using a separate form for each zone identified. On the same form enter the fastening methods used on each item and any inspection detail that will aid the inspector in the inspection process. C. Remove all non-essential equipment from the derrick. D. Review derrick inventory and define each item as essential or non-essential. Each item deemed nonessential or redundant should be analyzed for any knock off effect if remove. This process should involve Rig management.

Page 66 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-7 / DP / Continued E. Once the items are removed from the derrick the inventory list should be modified to reflect the changes. F. Periodic inspections of the different zones shall be scheduled. Once inspections are carried out, the necessary information should be entered into the Preventive Maintenance (PM) system to show compliance. All items in the inventory need to be accounted for and inspected. Any item found in a particular zone, not listed in the inventory needs to be noted, with reason for being in the derrick and expected duration. The rig foreman may periodically request that the list be changed to reflect changes in operational requirements. Note: Rigs should make the derrick inspections a part of their current PM program. 1) Inspection Schedule a. All derrick zones shall be inspected by rig personnel a minimum of once per month with inspection results recorded in the PM system. b. An annual derrick inspection shall be conducted by a third party contractor. A record of the third party inspection shall be kept at the rig site until superseded by the next annual inspection. 2) Control of Temporary Equipment a. A log sheet should be used to effectively control temporary equipment within the derrick, e.g. hand tools used during maintenance or equipment taken up the derrick for operation such as wire line work. The old age adage of “what goes up must come down” is extremely relevant. b. Any tool or equipment taken aloft should be logged in and signed off by the person carrying out the task as well as the Driller on duty. Once the tool or equipment is removed, it should be logged out in the same manner. This log sheet should be used to periodically check to see that all temporary items have been removed from aloft after use. 3) Covering other areas of the rig Once “DROPS” has been implemented for the derrick, the same process should then be applied to other areas of the rig, starting with the more critical areas first. Other areas should include but not be limited to the following: a. Cranes b. Jack Houses c. Storerooms, tool rooms and paint lockers d. Shale Shaker areas e. Welding Shack and surrounding areas f.
Machinery Spaces

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-10 / JM / Continued Appendix No.3 D&WO Driving Policy 1. D&WO Drivers (Employees and Contractors) SA D&WO and Contractor employees are reminded that the Driving Policy applies to everyone who drives motor vehicles on or off-the job. The requirements for land based travel, including remote area travel are documented in the following: A. HSERM / A / A-10 / Journey Management B. D&WO SMS Element No.6 - Safe Operations C. G.I. 0006.025 - Control of Remote Area Travel and Search/Rescue Procedures D. G.I. 6.030 - Traffic and Vehicle Safety Employees and Contractors driving personal or company vehicles must follow both Saudi Arabian Government and SA driving regulations at all times.
2. When you plan driving to remote areas, in adverse weather or on poor road conditions, these basic rules apply: A. Harsh Weather Conditions: Heavy rain, sand storms and fog. Pull off the road and stop until conditions clear. If conditions are marginal then slow down. If visibility is poor switch on your lights to low beam, switch on fog lights if fitted and take extra care. Do not use your hazard warning lights unless you have broken down or are trying to warn other traffic of a serious hazard ahead. If it is wet do not accelerate or brake quickly as your vehicle may spin out of control. B. Rig Roads, Skid Roads, Unsealed or Poorly Maintained Roads: Take extra care, slow down and only drive on designated roads. The maximum speed on unpaved SA roads is 70 Km/h. However, keep in mind that many of these roads are not maintained on a regular basis, conditions can change dramatically, from good to bad, in a very short distance. C. Desert and Remote Area Driving: Use the Driving and Journey Management Procedure. Do not travel into the desert unless your vehicle is a four wheel drive, (4X4) and equipped with the necessary safety equipment. Make sure you are fully prepared for desert travel and you have been trained to do so safely. Ensure the Journey Management Log is completed in full with the travel controller in your division. D. Wildlife, Camels, Sheep and Cattle: Switch on your hazard warning lights, slow down to walking speed, stop if necessary and exercise extreme care. Animals can make sudden erratic movements without any apparent reason which could cause you or others to have a serious accident.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-10 / JM / Appendix No.3 / Continued E. Night Travel: D&WO does NOT permit driving at night except in extreme emergencies. These include, but are not limited to: well control situations or potential loss of human life. The Manager’s approval is required prior to undertaking any night driving. When driving your personal car, drive within the limits of your lights, drive at a slower speed and leave adequate room to take evasive action if needed. Camels have been known to stray onto unfenced roads at night, they are very difficult to see and collisions involving fatalities have been frequent in the past. Take extra care on unlit roads.
3. It is our vision to have zero accidents, injuries or fatalities and to minimize driving violations both at work and home. We can only achieve this with your help by following these simple safety rules. Note: Your safety, the safety of your family and others around you is within your control. Your driving behavior and proactive precautions will allow you to arrive at your next destination safe and sound.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-12 / Safe Work Authorization Procedure (SWAP) 1. Purpose The purpose of the Safe Work Authorization Procedure (SWAP) is to define a formal safe system of control for SAR rig activities which are potentially hazardous. This procedure establishes minimum requirements and responsibilities for issuing/receiving Safe Work Authorizations, and for outlining the competencies required for those responsible for implementing the system. When issued, the SWAP serves as a written record of conditions and requirements agreed upon by the issuer and receiver. They list minimum safety precautions to be taken and hazards which must be controlled.
2. Scope A. The SWAP is applicable to Saudi Aramco drilling rigs (SAR) and all contractor rigs not using an approved Permit to Work (PTW) procedure as defined in HSERM / A / A-12 / SWAP / paragraph No.2.B below. B. Drilling Contractors shall be permitted to use their own PTW procedure provided: 1) The contractor PTW procedure has been reviewed by the Drilling Operational Excellence & Compliance Division (DOE&CD), Division Head or his designate, and found to comply with the requirements of G.I.2.100 and verified in writing prior to work commencement. 2) The contractor PTW system shall cover the rig activities identified in their PTW process. 3) The contractor personnel and the D&WO Liaisonman follow their responsibilities (as defined in HSERM / A / A-12 / SWAP / paragraph No.5A / Responsibilities).
3. Definitions A. Person In Charge (PIC) 1) SAR Rigs The PIC is the Toolpusher or, in his temporary absence, his designate. On Mobile Offshore Drilling Units (MODU), depending on the type of operations, the PIC is the Offshore Installation Manager (OIM) / Barge Master (or designate). B. SWAP Issuers The SAR rig supervisors who have received training (as defined in HSERM / A / A-12 / SWAP / paragraph No.10 / Training), and are certified by their employer to issue the SWAP form are designated issuers.

4. Definitions (Refer to HSERM / A / A-1 / DA&A) A. Days Without Lost Time Accident/Incident (LTA) This is the total number of days the rig has worked without an LTA. This figure should include the LTA free days brought forward from previous contracts. B. Man Hours This is the total number of hours worked (on tour) by the rig crew (50 personnel, each person works a 12 hour tour, 50 x 12 = 600) Work hours must include all leased labor who are under the direct supervision of the drilling/service contractor this includes catering crew. Agency labor performing the duties of regular crew must be included. Third party labor such as service companies (casing crews, Wire line crews etc.) are not considered agency labor and should not be included in the man hours (refer to IADC for guidance). C. Personnel on Board (POB) This is the total number of rig crew assigned to the rig, this includes lease labor under the direct supervision of the drilling contractor such as catering crew and all day visitors to the rig in that 24 hour period. D. A Lost Time Accident/Incident (LTI) A work-related personal injury or illness which prevents a person from conducting his/her assigned duties, in a restricted or unrestricted capacity, beyond the “tour” or watch during the incident occurred. A factor to be considered when classifying an injury or illness is the ability of the employee to evacuate the facility during an emergency. An LTI includes death or occupational injury or illness incurred by a work-related activity during regular on-tour or on-watch duty. Personal injuries incurred during crew boat/helicopter transport, crew change (to or from the rig), and during hours at the rig but off tour are not classified as LTIs. If an employee’s work-related injury or illness affects his ability to make their next scheduled “tour” of duty, it shall be classified as an LTI if: 1) In the judgment of the rig Medic, the employee, after examination cannot be issued a Full Duty release or a Restricted Duty Injury release and return to his next scheduled “tour”.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-14 / Job Safety Analysis (JSA) 1. Purpose The purpose of this Drilling and Workover (D&WO) Job Safety Analysis (JSA) procedure is to: A. Provide a means of identifying workplace hazards prior to performing work. B. Identify the control measures necessary to reduce the risks associated with those hazards to a level which is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP). C. Communicate the hazards and the control strategies to the workers involved in or affected by the work
2. Scope The scope of this procedure is applicable to Saudi Aramco Rigs (SAR). 3. Responsibilities It is the responsibility of the Person In Charge (PIC) to ensure that the Job Safety Analysis process (JSA) is utilized in the safe planning of work activities. 4. Definitions A. Risk - probability that during a period of activity a hazard will result in an incident/accident with definable consequences. B. Hazard - An object, condition or behavior with the potential to interrupt or interfere with the orderly progress of an activity. The source may be from substances, machinery, stored energy, physical methods of work or organization of the work itself. C. Risk Reduction Measure - any provision (behavioral, hardware or procedural) that eliminates or reduces the hazard. D. Job Safety Analysis (JSA) - A JSA is a process for identifying hazards or potential hazards that can be anticipated during the performance of a specific job, and the control strategies required to make the work safe. The threshold of the control measures is ALARP. The JSA process is focused at the specific supervisor and/or crew level. The JSA must be completed prior to the start of the job. Reassessment must also be completed when a significant change of scope occurs or if conflicting work is being done. The JSA involves both the site supervision and employees involved in the work. Aramco Liaisonman who direct the work being carried out by service company workers have to ensure the service company have and use a comparable process (JSA) or manage the work with this procedure.

Page 117 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-14 / JSA / Continued E. Hazard Control Strategies 1) Engineering Controls - Engineering control of hazards deals with the elimination or isolation of the hazard from the worker, and physically limits the workers exposure to the hazard. Engineering controls are the preferred method of controlling hazards. 2) Administrative Controls - Administrative controls deal with the directing of people and include policy, procedure and training. Administrative controls reduce or limit the amount of exposure an employee has to a specific hazard. 3) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) - PPE is the final line of defense against hazards in the workplace. It is implemented only after other reasonably practicable means of eliminating a hazard have been attempted. 5. Procedure A. General Information JSA’s shall be used to ensure that all hazards relative to the site’s work activities have been identified and controlled. It shall be noted that extreme hazards encountered while performing emergency response duties during events such as well blowout, explosion, vessel collision, structural failure, facility fire etc., do not require independent JSA’s since those subjects are accounted for within the Safety Management System (Emergency Response Manual, Well Control Manual etc.). Extreme hazards such as those listed need only to be incorporated into JSA’s if they pose a real threat simultaneous to other work activities. Some examples of this situation would be the potential for well control problems while running tubulars or the possibility of structural failure while performing rig modifications. The JSA must be reviewed with all workers involved in or affected by this job. B. Jobs That Require a JSA 1) First time jobs or where people have little experience on the job. 2) Jobs that are not done very often. 3) Jobs that have high incident rates or safety concerns. 4) If conditions change while performing the job that create new hazards. 5) If there are a number of jobs happening close to each other. 6) Whenever a permit to work is required. 7) When there is no written procedure in place. C. For the assessment process to be effective, it must be systematic and consider all aspects of a particular activity.

Page 118 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-14 / JSA / Continued The assessment process shall: 1) Consider human work time risk factors relating to sleep deprivation and fatigue. Address corrective actions that result from sleep deprivation/fatigue caused by work periods beyond the normal 12 hour per day tour; long crew change travel without a reasonable sleep period prior to starting work; extended work periods beyond normal 12 hour per day multiple days in a row; and environmental factors (extreme heat/cold). 2) Address what actually happens in the workplace or during the work activity. 3) Consider non-routine activities such as repair work, well testing, diving operations etc. 4) Address the possibility of changed circumstances during the activity, for example tour change or temporary stoppage of the job. 5) Give careful consideration to what circumstances or hazards have changed since the last time the activity was carried out. 6) Consider human factors. Poor communication, inadequate leadership, lack of application etc. are examples of how behavioral issues can influence the successful outcome of an activity. Suitable control measures should be developed and applied to mitigate these circumstances also. D. How to Conduct a JSA 1) Determine whether a formal JSA is needed (Refer to HSERM / A / A-14 / JSA / paragraph No.5.B). 2) Review any existing documents or JSA’s already developed for this job. The use of a generic JSA as a sole source process is prohibited as per Section 5.F of this procedure. 3) Decide who the JSA team members shall be. The JSA must be led by the supervisor or someone competent in the JSA process. 4) Break the job down into basic steps. A balance needs to be struck between making the steps too general, resulting in missing specific steps and their associated hazards, and too detailed, leading to excessive steps. It is recommended that each job should be limited to a maximum of ten steps. If more than ten steps are required, it is usually better to break the job into multiple jobs, for developing JSA’s. Each step should begin with an action word (e.g. open, remove, check) and end with a subject (e.g. pump, hoist, valve). This part of the preparation can be done by watching the worker do the job) Do not include statements like “conduct safety meeting” in the basic steps section of the JSA. That should be in the Preventive Measures section of the JSA. 5) Identify who shall do that step then record that worker on the JSA. 6) Identify the potential hazards for each step. To assist in identifying hazards, questions such as the following can be asked: a. Can any body part get caught in or between objects?

Page 119 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-14 / JSA / Continued b. Do tools, machines, or equipment present any hazards? c. Is equipment fit for purpose? d. Could equipment operating limits be exceeded? e. Can the worker make harmful contact with objects? f.
Can the worker slip, trip or fall?
g. Can the worker suffer strain from lifting, pushing, or pulling? h. Is the worker exposed to extreme temperatures? i.
Is excessive noise or vibration a problem?
7) Recommend ways to control the hazards (safety measures). 8) Identify who is responsible for the individual control measures and record on the JSA. This person must be competent to do what he is assigned to do. e.g.; if you require control measures such as “gas testing” or inspect “rigging hardware”, the assigned person must be competent in this skill set. 9) Complete the JSA form. 10) Review the JSA with the workers as per Section 5.4 of this procedure. 11) Perform the job. 12) Review and update the formal JSA. E. Communication Before commencing the work activity, all personnel involved (directly or indirectly) must be informed of the results of the assessment and fully understand their roles and responsibilities. This communication may be accomplished via a Pre-job Safety Meeting (PJSM) or Pre-Tour Meeting (PTM). If the review takes place more than twelve hours prior to the work activity actually commencing, the JSA must again be reviewed immediately prior to starting the task to ensure that the conditions have not changed or a re-assignment is called for. Similarly if the JSA for a task was completed by the Off-going crew then the crew, assuming responsibility for completion of that task must review and update the JSA for their continued use.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-14 / JSA / Continued F. Generic JSA To simplify the JSA process and reduce the requirement to re-write the same information every time a repetitive task is undertaken, a catalogue of Generic JSA’s may be constructed. The information detailed on these Generic JSA’s may then be used to form the foundation of Task-Specific JSA’s which are completed for particular work activities. Note: If Generic JSA’s are used to manage the risk of work activities they shall always be reviewed and updated by the crew performing the task and shall never be considered to be adequate as standalone documents without review and revision as necessary. G. Filing JSA Documents for Review 1) Generic JSA’s shall be maintained on the rig in an electronic format. Adequate space shall be allowed between successive steps, hazards and mitigation to allow the user to add to the document when preparing the job specific JSA. 2) Job specific JSA’s shall be filed on the rig for a 6 month period to facilitate the audit process. It is recommended that the JSA and PJSM document that is linked to the work gets filed together.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-15 / Safety Inspection and Reporting Procedure (SI&RP) 1. Purpose D&WO Safety Inspection Process is a monitoring function. It is conducted on all rigs to find and report existing and potential hazards in the on-the-job area. Its objective is to help fulfill Corporate and Departmental policy of providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for SA and Contractor employees alike. D&WO uses both the Continuous and Planned Specific Interval types of inspections. Comprehensive check lists are used so that important items/areas are not overlooked. The inspection program shall incorporate auditing of elements of the D&WO Safety Management System (SMS). These audits check the implementation and compliance of various elements in the SMS programs of both D&WO and the contractor.
2. Scope The scope of this procedure is applicable to Saudi Aramco Drilling Rigs (SAR) and all Contractor Rigs. This procedure does not supersede corporate requirements. Where this process conflicts with corporate requirements, corporate requirements shall apply. 3. Planned Specific Interval Inspection(s) A. Annual General Inspections for Saudi Aramco owned rigs. B. Safety Inspections for all rigs. C. Environmental Health Inspections for all rigs. D. ATTEST SMS audits of all rigs. E. SMS Compliance audits of all drilling contractors (Contractor compliance to their Corporate SMS, not D&WO SMS) F. SAR Quarterly Safety Inspections (QSI), SAR Rigs Only. G.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-15 / SI&RP / Continued Hand tools are those tools for which the hand provides the motive force, e.g. shovels, hammers, wrenches etc. Power tools are those tools which have an integral motive force. For the purpose of this section, equipment refers to all other items used by a worker to assist him in the performance of his job, including PPE, e.g., fall protection harness, webbing slings, ladders etc. A worker must perform a pre-use visual inspection of any hand tool, power tool or equipment, when using it for the first time during his tour to ensure it is free from defect or deficiency and is properly equipped with any guard or safety accessory required by Aramco standards. This is an undocumented inspection. 2) Pre-Spud Inspection After moving a rig onto a new location but prior to spud, the PIC (person in charge) shall ensure that the worksite and rig equipment is inspected as per the Pre-Spud Checklist. 3) Rig / Location Release Inspection When vacating a well site, the PIC shall ensure that the site is inspected as per the Rig/Location Release Checklist. 4) PIC Safety Inspection This inspection is performed once a week by the foreman on a SAR rig and by the Aramco Liaisonman or Contractor PIC on a contractor rig. He shall take this opportunity to verify the rig’s compliance with the Inspection Policy by examining the documentation for the previous weeks required inspections and comparing it to the actual condition of the worksite. The PIC shall sign and date the original inspection document after he has completed his inspection, adding any comments from his observations. This shall be the only documentation required to verify his weekly inspection responsibilities. This is not intended to be a detailed site inspection by the PIC. It is an opportunity to verify and enhance the efforts of the workers responsible for all other inspections. 5) Daily Mobile Equipment Pre-Use Inspection This shall be performed by the operator of any mobile equipment, e.g., forklift, elevating work platform, motor vehicle etc. This documented inspection shall conform to the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) recommended pre-use inspection process. The inspection report or log shall be available for review. 6) Daily Crane Pre-Use Inspection Pre-operational inspections shall be performed by the crane operator daily, prior to use, during tour changes, or whenever operators are changed, using the appropriate daily inspection checklist (SA 9466 Crane Operators Checklist). This inspection report shall be available for review. 7) Derrick Mast Inspection The driller shall ensure that the derrick is inspected once a week as per D&WO / SWIM-001 / Section No.4 / D&M. He may delegate the inspection to the derrick man but retains responsibility for its completion.

These inspections shall be documented 9) Drillers Pre-Tour Inspection This inspection shall be conducted by the oncoming driller at the start of his tour. It shall be done in conjunction with the turnover at tour change. The inspection shall be performed as per HSERM / A / A-24 / Pre-Tour Checklist/Driller Handover and be documented on the attached checklist. 10) Continuous Inspections The Continuous Inspection portion of the Inspection Program is covered by Liaisonman/Foreman inspecting the work area; by contractor supervisory personnel (as applicable) and by employees at all time. 11) Travelling blocks Testing and setting procedures are to be put in place by the Rig Contractor and posted clearly on the drill floor. The limiting devices testing and setting procedures are to be performed by the Driller at the beginning of each tour and immediately after drill line slip and cut operations. These checks are to be reported in the IADC tour book for each 12 hours (Refer to HSERM / C / C-7 / TB). 12) Other Inspections Additional inspections by Environmental Health shall be scheduled by the Manager for each of the SA owned facilities on an annual basis. 13) Pre-Commencement Inspection A comprehensive pre-commencement inspection shall be conducted on all rigs by a combined D&WO operations and safety team prior to acceptance of any rig under a new contract, rigs moving from one department to another and following any offshore rig shipyard visit. All critical deficiencies are to be rectified before drilling into the first potential hydrocarbon zone (Refer to D&WO / DOE&CD / PCP-003).
4. Safety Inspection and Reporting (SIR) The SIR process provides a formal inspection system to identify deficiencies in; D&WO Contractor facilities, equipment, work areas and documentation. Its objective is to meet corporate and departmental policies for providing and maintaining a safe and healthy work environment for SA and Contractor employees alike.

Hazard Recording New Hazards identified in drilling and workover operations shall be recorded in a Hazard Register which shall be updated continuously. 8. HAZOP (Hazard and Operability) In a HAZOP study, a multidisciplinary team of individuals systematically “brainstorms” the process under review in a series of meetings using a set of guide words to structure the review. HAZOP technique applies more to plants and machinery rather than Rig operations activities. It can be used in D&WO for underbalanced drilling operations, SIMOPS, etc. For more details, refer to SAER-5437 (SA HAZOP Guidelines)
9. HAZCOM Hazardous Material Communication program (HAZCOM) is a comprehensive and structured system for the communication of chemical hazards to management and employees throughout SA. HAZCOM consists mainly of two types of documents which have been prepared using information from the chemicals Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS): A. Chemical Hazard Bulletins (CHB); and B. HAZCOM labeling for chemical containers. Information from CHBs helps protect employees from unnecessary exposure to harmful chemicals in the workplace; CHBs are developed within the Environmental Protection Department (EPD) to provide essential information on the safe handling of chemicals and are prepared in both Arabic and English. CHBs are an effective tool for providing the required minimum information for employees working with chemicals, and should be available for all chemicals in use on a rig location. HAZCOM labeling is established within EPD to alert employees to hazards associated with chemicals and to provide precautionary information. All chemicals on a rig location shall have appropriate HAZCOM labeling. Further details are available on HAZCOM.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-17 / RMM / Continued 10. Risk Assessment and Evaluation Once hazards have been identified, the associated risks are assessed and evaluated to estimate the probability or likelihood of an incident occurring and evaluate the potential severity of the resulting loss in order to determine the appropriate mitigating actions (controls). The following are techniques/tools used for Risk Assessment in D&WO:
•
Risk Matrix.
•
Bow Tie.
•
JSA.
A. Risk Assessment Matrix (see HSERM / A / A-17 / RMM / Appendix No.3) 1) The “Risk Assessment Matrix” technique shall be used as the main technique to assess risks for Drilling and Workover operations. The Risk Assessment Matrix is a tool used to determine qualitatively the ranking of a hazard, based on the consequence or severity of its harm to people, equipment, property, environment or company business, public image or reputation and its probability or likelihood of occurrence as well as how frequently it could occur. 2) Qualitative Risk Analysis uses scales or ranking (e.g.: high/medium/low) to describe the seriousness of potential consequences and the likelihood or probability that those consequences will occur. The D&WO Risk Assessment Matrix provides guidance on assessing the likelihood and severity of identified hazards. The proper use of the Risk Assessment Matrix is covered in the Risk Management Training Package. The result of the assessment shall be summarized in a Risk Assessment Form (RAF), Refer to HSERM / A / A-17 / RMM / Appendix No.4. The RAF is used to document the hazards associated with a particular project or activity, the threats (causes) that could result in a release of the hazard, the potential consequences, the potential risk associated with the hazard, the control measures that are or will be put in place and the residual risk taking into account the effectiveness of these measures. The RAF shall prioritize (rank) all hazards associated with a project or activity, and shall be used primarily during the project or process planning stage.

Page 153 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-17 / RMM / Continued B. Bow Tie Analysis The “Bow Tie” method is used to demonstrate how a particular hazard is controlled, and evaluate the effectiveness of the controls. The results of this analysis are presented in a simple diagram (the Bow Tie diagram). The Bow Tie combines the threat (cause) on the left hand side, the consequences on the right hand side with the Hazard and Top Event in the middle. A schematic of the Bow Tie diagram is shown in Figure No.1. Figure No.1: Bow Tie Schematic
In the Bow Tie, on the left hand side barriers are the controls which prevent or reduce the likelihood of a threat resulting in a top event. On the right hand side recovery measures are the controls that limit the consequences of the top event. Bow-Ties should be developed for all major hazards (i.e. severity level 4 and 5) and high-risk hazards identified on the Risk Assessment Matrix. An example of a simplified Bow Tie diagram is shown in Figure No.2 below. Figure No.2: Bow Tie Analysis Example

Page 154 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-17 / RMM / Continued C. JSA The purpose of the JSA is to provide a means of identifying workplace hazards, implementing control measures necessary to reduce the possible effects of the hazard and communicating the strategies to workers prior to performing the work. For field implementation of a job process, the Job Safety Analysis tool (JSA) shall be used in place of Risk Analysis. Further details of JSA and methodology are covered in HSERM / A / A-14 / JSA. The SA JSA Form is shown in HSERM / A / A-17 / RMM / Appendix No.5.
11. Risk Reduction and Control Process This is the step where measures are taken to eliminate, reduce, accept or avoid the risk analyzed in order to control the undesirable effects of the risk or hazard. For D&WO Operations, the main tool that shall be used is the Risk Assessment Matrix (Refer to HSERM / A / A-17 / RMM / Appendix No.3). A. Risk Control Techniques Risk Control techniques include the following: 1) Terminate: Measures are established to eliminate the risk completely. 2) Treated: Controls are implemented to reduce the risk to acceptable levels. 3) Tolerated: The risk is determined to be acceptable. 4) Transferred: The risk is toured to others or avoided. Controls to be implemented must be reasonably practicable. That is, the control measures must balance the level of risk with the amount of effort, time and money required to reduce the risk. B. Risk Control Measures The following measures are used for controlling specific risks and shown in preferred order: 1) Engineering Controls: Risks are avoided, eliminated or minimized through appropriate engineering design. Various engineering standards are in place in SA to address designs and implementation with minimum standards for controlling hazards. SA Engineering Standards (SAES), Drilling Manuals, and G.I.’s.

SA D&WO HSE Requirements Manual (HSERM). 3) Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Controls: These are additional or supplemental interim measures to complement engineering and administrative controls. D&WO Loss Prevention Manual and D&WO HSERM.
12. Risk Communication and Documentation Process A. Risk Communication Following a risk assessment, controls to mitigate hazard consequences must be communicated by the approving party to all parties concerned for implementation. A key factor to the success of any Risk Management activity is risk communication. Risk Management is an ongoing process which involves three significant topics which must be communicated in various ways: 1) Analyzing the risk. 2) Treating the risk. 3) Monitoring the risk. A structured communication process is required so that an informed decision about risk treatment can be made. A proper risk communication will support Risk Management implementation and enhance staff general awareness and Risk Management, recognition and understanding of the Risk Management approach and a positive risk-awareness culture at all levels. Risk communication can be done in the following ways: 1) Structured meetings. 2) Teleconferencing. 3) Detailed written program/instructions.

Page 156 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-17 / RMM / Continued B. Risk Documentation The various analyses done to assess risk prior the execution of an activity must be well documented in a formal report within which the members of the risk assessment team shall be identified. These reports shall be included in the well file for D&WO operations and in the central projects database for other operations. The custodian of the documents shall be D&WO DOE&CD. There shall also be a hazard register which shall be maintained and updated regularly with feedback from projects, incident investigations, accident / incident reports, etc. In the course of implementing a risk assessed project, there could be some planned activities which if carried out as designed, could result in a hazard which was not initially identified. These shall be lessons learned. A database of lessons learned shall be maintained and made available to supervisors so as to avoid mistakes that had been made in the past. This database is yet to be developed in D&WO.
13. Risk Management Measurement and Review Process The observations during implementation combined with the communication and documentation process will help in achieving the following: A. Facilitate continuous monitoring and review of Risk Management. B. To provide an audit trail for the follow-up of key actions related to the exposures being addressed. C. To share and communicate Risk Management activities among all stakeholders, most particularly with the field personnel who will be executing risk managed projects.
14. Training and Implementation Process As part of the implementation phase of the Risk Management Process, D&WO shall conduct training of personnel in Risk Assessment and Management including the implementation of the tools outlined in this Risk Management Manual. The relevant training requirements shall be included in personnel competencies and tracked through the Training Matrix. A Risk Management Training Package developed by D&WO shall be used to train personnel in Risk Management. The following have been considered in a Risk Management Training Package: A. Who is to be trained: Risk Assessor, Division Heads, Supervisors, Drilling Engineers, and Rig Foremen.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-18 / Waiver of High Risk HSE Requirement(s) (WHRHSER) 1. Purpose The purpose of this Drilling and Workover (D&WO) procedure is to ensure all deviations from SA High Risk HSE Requirements (HRHSER) are subject to a suitable and sufficient risk assessment and to establish a procedure (including the need for a formal risk assessment) to initiate, process, review, and approve deviations from HRHSER. Note: A. HSERM / A / A-17 / Risk Management Manual / Appendix No.3 shall be utilized to determine the potential severity and/or consequence of the incident or potential incident. This procedure is applicable to “High Risk” category deviations only. When determining the risk associated with any planned deviation, it is the potential likelihood and severity of the incident that may result as a consequence of that deviation that must be assessed for risk. Example; Removing the handrails from an elevated work platform and requiring personnel to continue to use the platform. Personnel falling from height is the potential incident; Severity (catastrophic, fatality) = 5 Likelihood (probable) = 4 Severity X Likelihood = Risk Rating 5 X 4 = 20 High Risk; waiver required.
B. “Changes” to process technology, chemicals, equipment, procedures, facilities, buildings, personnel, contracts and/or organizations shall be in accordance with HSERM / A / A-16 / Management of Change.
2. Scope This procedure establishes a standard for obtaining a Waiver to a HRHSER. A. Deviations from HRHSER are not allowed unless justification is presented to D&WO Drilling Operational Excellence & Compliance Division (DOE&CD) Division Head that establishes mitigation equal to or greater than the existing HRHSER. B. The scope of an approved Waiver request is limited to the facility, rig, project, and HRHSER. Extending the scope of an approved waiver request to cover additional facilities, rigs, projects, or requirements in the HSERM shall be accomplished by submittal of a new Waiver request, and its subsequent approval.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 4. Introduction This policy gives guidance on the precautions necessary to avoid the hazards associated with the entry into and working in CONFINED SPACES. Entry into a confined space for any purpose shall only be considered when all reasonably practicable steps have been taken to deal with the problem in some other way. Once the decision has been made that entry to a confined space is necessary, positive steps shall be taken to eliminate or minimize the risk from the hazards of dangerous fumes, gasses, liquids or solids or of lack of oxygen, harmful residues radiation or moving machinery within the confined space, or from any other source such as fume or dust emission from an adjacent plant or area which might cause hazard to the operation. Positive measures in making the working conditions safe shall always be ensured by means of strict supervision.
5. Definitions (Refer to HSERM / A / A-1 / DA&A) In order to understand these requirements, it is necessary to know the meaning of certain terms and phrases that are used within Aramco standards, which is the basis that the international standards and best practices regulations call up as a minimum requirement. A. Competent Person "One who is capable of identifying existing and predictable hazards in the surroundings or working conditions which are unsanitary, hazardous, or dangerous to employees, and who has written authorization to take prompt corrective measures to eliminate them". By way of training and/or experience, a competent person is knowledgeable of applicable standards, is capable of identifying workplace hazards relating to the specific operation, and has the authority to correct them. Some standards add additional specific requirements which must be met by the competent person. B. Confined Space 1) A space or volume which: a. Is not intended as a regular workplace. b. Has restricted means of entry and exit. c. May have inadequate ventilation and/or an atmosphere, which is either contaminated or oxygen-deficient. d. Is at atmospheric pressure during occupancy. 2) Confined spaces include, but are not limited to: a. Storage tanks, spud cans, pre-load tanks, mud pits (land rigs or MODU), trip tanks, voids, process vessels, boilers, pressure vessels, batch mix tanks and other tank-like compartments. b. Open-topped spaces of more than 1.5 meters in depth such as rotary opening when the bell nipple is installed, pits which are not subject to good natural ventilation.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued c. Pipes, sewers, shafts, ducts and similar structures. d. Any shipboard spaces entered through a small hatchway or access point, cargo tanks, cellular double bottom tanks, duct keels, cofferdams, ballast and oil tanks, and void spaces, but not including dry cargo holds. 3) Contaminant Any dust, fume, mist, vapor, gas (H2S) or other substance, the presence of which can be harmful to health. 4) Exposure Standard An airborne concentration of a particular substance in the workers breathing zone, exposure to which, according to current knowledge, should not cause adverse health effects nor cause undue discomfort to nearly all workers. The exposure standard can be of three (3) forms: a. Time Weighted Average (TWA) - The average airborne concentration of a particular substance when calculated over a normal eight-hour (8) workday, for a five-day (5) working week. b. Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) - A fifteen (15) minute TWA exposure which should not be exceeded at any time during a working day even if the eight (8) hour TWA average is within the TWA exposure standard. Exposure at the STEL should not be longer than fifteen (15) minutes and should not be repeated more than four (4) times per day. There should be at least sixty (60) minutes between successive exposures at the STEL. c. Peak - A maximum or peak airborne concentration of a particular substance determined over the shortest analytically practicable period of time, which does not exceed fifteen (15) minutes. 5) Explosive (Flammable) Range The range of flammable contaminant/air mixture between the Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) and the Upper Explosive Limit (UEL). 6) Hot Work Welding, thermal or oxygen cutting, heating, and other ignition producing or spark producing operations. 7) Lower Explosive Limit (LEL) In relation to a flammable contaminate, this is the concentration of the contaminant in air below which the spread of a flame does not occur on contact with an ignition source.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 8) Stand-by Person A competent person assigned to remain on the outside of, and in close proximity to, the confined space and capable of being in continuous communication with and, if practicable, to observe those inside, initiate rescue procedures and operate equipment used for entry to the confined space, where necessary. 9) Sufficient Oxygen The minimum oxygen content in air should be 19.5 % by volume under normal atmospheric pressure. 6. Risk Assessment A. Risk Identification For any work proposed, all confined spaces shall be identified, signposted and physically secured and it should be determined whether the work proposed can be undertaken from outside, that is, whether entry of persons to the confined space is necessary. If it is decided that such work can be undertaken from outside, then precautions should be taken to physically prevent unauthorized entry to the confined space. B. Major Hazards Fatalities or severe injuries could occur as a result of the following: 1) Oxygen deficiency in the confined space caused by: a. Slow oxidation reactions of either organic or inorganic substances. An employer shall ensure that before carrying out work involving entry to a confined space, a written risk assessment is carried out by a competent person and takes into account the following: 1. The work to be done, including whether it is necessary to enter the confined space. 2. The methods by which the work can be done. 3. The hazards involved and associated risks. 4. The actual method and plant proposed. 5. Rapid oxidation (combustion). 6. Dilution of air with an inert gas. 7. Absorption by grain, chemicals or soils. 8. Physical activity.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued b. The presence of contaminants on surfaces or in the atmosphere. Contaminants may be in the form of solids, liquids, sludge’s, gases, vapors, fumes or particles. The source of atmospheric contaminants encountered may include: 1. The product stored. (For example, disturbing decomposed organic material in a tank can liberate toxic substances such as Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S). 2. The operation performed in the confined space. (For example, welding or brazing with metals capable of producing toxic fumes). 3. Operation of plant and services (For example, being trapped by augers, crushed by rotating or moving parts such as agitators). 4. Drowning by accidental flooding. 5. Suffocation by solids (For example; bulk tanks). 6. Work being conducted in adjacent spaces such as welding and gas cutting. c. Other Hazards Undertaking work in confined spaces may greatly increase the risk of injury from hazards, such as: 1. Noise - This may be caused by hammering or the use of equipment within the confined space. 2. Temperature - either too hot or too cold, which can result from the work process or the weather conditions, or where appropriate ventilation or appropriate clothing is not supplied or worn. 3. Radiation - within a confined space caused by the use of X-rays, radiation gauges, isotopes, lasers and welders. 4. Manual handling d. Factors to be Considered Tasks undertaken in confined spaces can present serious and unique hazards. Therefore, a number of factors need to be considered. These include the following: 1. Arrangements for rescue, first aid and resuscitation. 2. The number of persons occupying the space.

The number of persons required outside the space to maintain equipment, essential for the confined space task, to ensure adequate communication with and, observation of the persons within the confined space, and to properly initiate rescue procedures. 4. The soundness and security of the overall structure and the need for illumination. 5. The identity and nature of the substances last contained in the confined space. 6. The steps needed to bring the confined space to atmospheric pressure. 7. The atmospheric testing to be undertaken and the parameters to be assessed before the entry permit(s) are issued. 8. All hazards which may be encountered. 9. The status of medical fitness and training of those persons intending to enter the confined space. 10. Adequate instruction of those persons in any work procedure required, particularly those which are unusual or non-typical, including the use and limitations of any personal protective equipment and mechanical or other equipment to be used. 11. The availability and adequacy of appropriate personal protective equipment, protective clothing and rescue equipment for all persons likely to enter the confined space. 12. Whether Signs: A. Comply with SA and International Standards, Policies and Procedures. B. Indicate that entry is permitted only after signing the entry permit in a manner appropriate to the workplace. C. The need for additional protective measures, for example: 1) Prohibition of hot work in adjacent areas. 2) Prohibition of smoking and naked flames within the confined space and where appropriate, the adjacent areas. 3) Avoidance of contamination of breathing atmosphere from operations or sources outside the confined space, such as from the exhaust of an internal combustion engine. 4) Prohibition of movement of equipment such as forklifts in adjacent areas. 13. Whether cleaning is required in the confined space. 14. Whether hot work is necessary.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 7. Monitoring A. Prior to Entry The evaluation of the atmosphere and a survey of other hazards should be performed outside the confined space before any entry occurs (the results should be recorded on the entry permit). The supervisor shall ensure that no person enters a confined space without a work permit and until the following tasks have been carried out: Test the atmosphere, consistent with the hazards identified in the risk assessment and ensure: 1) The concentration of flammable contaminant in the atmosphere of the confined space is below 0% of its LEL. 2) The confined space contains sufficient oxygen, (i.e. 19.0%). 3) Atmospheric contaminants in the confined space are below the relevant exposure standards. 4) When any of the above cannot be achieved, appropriate personal protective equipment should be used. Note: Only an Authorized Gas Tester, who has attended and passed Confined Space Entry Training, can carry-out the gas test. B. Gas Detectors Flammable gas indicators should as a minimum comply with SA G.I. 2.709. A thorough knowledge of the gas indicators is required and should include the following: 1) Properties of the gas/vapor. 2) Humidity and temperature in the space. Never trust your senses to determine if the air in a confined space is safe! You cannot see or smell any toxic gases and vapors, nor can you determine the level of oxygen present. 3) Presence of airborne contaminants that may reduce the accuracy of the reading or “poison” the sensor. 4) Presence of corrosive gases and mists, which may damage the sensor and give misleading results, causes a false zero reading. 5) Calibration, adjustment and maintenance requirement. 6) Need for recalibration during testing. 7) Condensation and/or absorption of gas into walls of sampling lines where these are used.

Page 184 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 8) Response of the instrument to high and low concentrations of flammable gas or vapors (for example, false zeros). 9) Oxygen deficiency causing an erroneously low reading. 10) Oxygen enrichment where the instrument may act as an ignition source causing explosion. 11) Difference in atmospheric pressure, which may cause false readings in some sensors. Equipment for continuous monitoring of gases and vapors should be intrinsically safe and equipped with an audible alarm if danger develops. Instruments should be calibrated in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidelines. If an acceptable result cannot be obtained without continuous forced draft ventilation, then the ventilation device should be suitably tagged to ensure it is not disconnected while the inspection or other work is in progress. The standby person is responsible for monitoring the proper operation of the forced draft ventilation device. C. During Entry Because of the potential for latter release of hazardous material, arrangements should be made to monitor or re-test the atmosphere within the confined space. The use of continuous monitors, which have alarms, is the most conservative approach. 8. Control A. Hierarchy of Control Measures, The control measures should consist of: 1) Elimination. 2) Substitution. 3) Isolation. 4) Engineering controls. 5) Adoption of safe work practices. 6) Use of personal protective equipment, where the concentration of flammable contaminant in the atmosphere of a confined space has been found to be greater than 0% of its LEL, the confined space shall not be entered. The hierarchy lists the control measures that should be implemented in the workplace in priority order. Consequently, complete elimination of the need to enter the confined spaced should be the first consideration in controlling risk to workers. It is only if this is not practicable that consideration should be given to the second measure in the hierarchy, which is substitution. Examples of substitution include using: a. A non-flammable solvent in place of a flammable one.

Page 185 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued b. A detergent in place of a chlorinated solvent for cleaning. c. Water based paint in place of an organic solvent-base. d. Brush application of paint rather than aerosol or spray application. e. Pastes instead of powders. This process of progressively applying the elements of the hierarchy of controls should continue until the risks have been reduced to acceptable levels. It may be necessary to use a combination of control measures to eliminate or minimize the risk to workers. Personal protective equipment should only be used as a last resort when all of the other control measures have failed to adequately control the risk. B. Isolation Requirements Prior to any employee entering a confined space, the employer shall ensure that all potentially hazardous services, including all process services, normally connected to that space are positively isolated in order to prevent: 1) The introduction of any materials, contaminants, agents or conditions harmful to people occupying the confined space; and It may be necessary to withdraw a confined space from service before it is prepared for entry and that all persons who may be involved with the repair, maintenance or operation of the confined space are advised. Positive steps should be taken to achieve the following: a. Prevention of accidental introduction into the confined space of materials, through piping, ducts, vents, drains, conveyors, service pipes or fire protection equipment. b. De-energisation and Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO) de-energisation and tag-out or both of machinery, mixers, agitators or other equipment containing moving parts in the confined space. c. Isolation of all other energy sources which may be external to, but still capable of adversely affecting the confined space, for example heating and/or refrigeration methods. C. Methods of Isolation 1) Hazardous Materials No personnel shall be allowed to enter a confined space until positive means are established to prevent all energy sources from entering the confined space area or causing associated equipment to operate while work continues .All isolations shall be conducted under the SWAP or PTW and LOTO Procedure. Listed below are three (3) methods of isolation. However, alternative methods may be used if equivalent security can be achieved. a. Removal of a valve, spool piece, an expansion joint in piping leading to, and as close as possible to, the confined space and blanking or capping the open end of the piping leading to the confined space. The cap or blank should be identified to indicate its purpose.

Page 186 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued b. Insertion of a suitable full-pressure spade (blank) in piping between the flanges nearest to the confined space. The spade should also be identified. c. Where neither method above are practicable, isolation by means of closing and locking, or closing and tagging, or both, of at least two valves in the pipe leading to the confined space shall suffice. 2) Before entry is permitted to any confined space which itself can move, or in which agitators, fans or other moving parts which may pose a risk to personnel are present, movement shall be prevented by an approved means or an alternative method offering the equivalent security. Where practicable, equipment or devices with stored energy such as hydraulic, pneumatic, electrical, chemical, mechanical, thermal or other types of energy should be reduced to zero energy. a. The person entering the confined space or the competent person should place a lock or tag, or both, on the open circuit breaker or open isolating switch supplying electric power to equipment with hazardous moving parts. This will indicate that a person is in the confined space and that such isolation shall not be removed until all persons have left the confined space. When a lock is used, the key shall be kept in the possession of the competent person. Spare keys should not be accessible except in cases of emergencies. b. Where a power source cannot be isolated, controlled readily or effectively, a belt of other mechanical linkage shall be disconnected and tagged to indicate that a person is in the confined space and that the linkage shall not be reconnected until all persons have left the confined space. c. Where the methods in item a) and b) above are not practicable, moveable components shall be blocked, and switches, clutches or other controls shall be tagged to indicate that a person is in the confined space. The blocks and tags should not be removed until the person has left the space. d. Where more than one person is in the confined space, the isolating device shall be either: 1. Locked and tagged, or both, by each person entering the confined space. 2. Locked and tagged, or both, by the Competent Person. 3. Where locking or tagging is undertaken by the Competent Person, each person entering the confined space shall verify or have it verified to him/her that isolation is effective prior to his entry. 4. Removal of Isolation: The locks, tags, blanks or other protective systems shall only be removed be the person who installed them or by the Competent Person, after confirming that work has been suspended or completed and all persons have left the confined space. All SWAP or PTW and Isolation certification shall be closed.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued D. Ventilation 1) There are two main types of ventilation techniques, these are: a. Natural. b. Mechanical or forced. 2) Either means of ventilation should be employed while confined space entry is taking place to establish and maintain a safe breathing atmosphere. This ventilation should be continued throughout the period of occupancy as a safeguard against unexpected release of contaminants. It should be noted that for natural ventilation to be effective, there must be two ventilation points, one at low level and one at high level, each must be of similar square area in opening. Mechanical ventilation equipment may not be adequate or sufficiently reliable to maintain a safe atmosphere in the operators breathing zone, particularly during operations likely to generate toxic contaminant. Where maintenance of a safe breathing atmosphere in a confined space is dependent on mechanical ventilation equipment, for example, a fan, then the equipment should: a. Be continuously monitored while the confined space is occupied. b. Have the controls (including any remote power source) clearly identified and tagged to prevent against unauthorized interference. Exhaust facilities should be arranged to ensure that any contaminated air removed from the confined space does not present a hazard to persons or equipment. Nor do the emissions from equipment such as petrol or diesel engines enter the confined space. The use of oxygen above concentrations of 21% shall not be used for ventilation. E. Cleaning Prior to Entry All substances, which are likely to present a hazard to persons inside the confined space, should be removed as far as possible prior to entry. Potentially dangerous material may be trapped in sludge, scale or other deposits, behind loose linings, in liquid traps, or in instrument fittings, and may be released only when for example, it is disturbed or heat is applied. Similarly, such material may lodge in joints in vessels or in the bends of connecting pipes, or other places where removal is difficult. Procedures and processes to be used to clean the inside of a confined space should be reviewed and authorized prior to entry. The method to be used will depend upon the material in the confined space and the potential hazards that may be created by the cleaning process itself. Contaminants should be disposed of in a manner that will not constitute a hazard. The following are some general practices to be observed: 1) Whenever practicable, initial cleaning should be performed from outside the confined space. Such initial cleaning should continue until the hazard of atmospheric contaminants has been reduced as far as reasonably practicable possible.

Page 188 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 2) Each person entering the confined space should be provided with suitable protective suits, impervious footwear, a safety helmet with face shield, protective gloves and, where necessary, an appropriate respiratory protective device. 3) Hydro jetting the following general precautions should be observed when hydro jetting is undertaken in a confined space. a. Hydro jetting should always be carried out by trained personnel. b. Warning signs indicating that hydro jetting is in progress should be displayed in conspicuous locations outside the confined space. c. The area affected by the hydro jetting should be barricaded while work is in progress. d. Where there is a possibility of a flammable environment, the nozzle of the hydro jetting equipment should be earthed to decrease the generation of static electricity. e. Nozzle operators should have direct visual or audible communication with the pump operators. f.
Removal of fluids from the confined space should be continuous during operation.
g. A high pressure/low pressure volume gun should be used to intermittently clean, rather than operating continuously, thus allowing adequate replacement of air. All high pressure cleaning equipment should be fitted with actuating devices, which require positive effort, by the operator’s hand or foot to keep the supply valve open. In addition, the following recommendations should be observed: 1. Hoses used for high pressure cleaning should have a bursting pressure of at least twice that of the operating pressure. 2. Hoses should be tagged to indicate the working pressure and age. 3. Hoses with exposed reinforcing wire should be disposed of immediately. 4. Care should be taken when laying out hoses on the ground to avoid constant pulsation damage, especially from corners. 4) Steam cleaning the following precautions should be observed: a. Where there is a possibility of a flammable environment, the pipe or nozzle of the steam hose should be bonded to the confined space enclosure to decrease the generation of static electricity. b. Where oxygen is present in the confined space, steam temperatures should be significantly lower than the auto-ignition temperature of previously stored products.

Page 189 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued c. The confined space should be allowed to return to an acceptable thermal environment prior to entry. 5) Abrasive Blasting Cleaning by abrasive blasting should only be undertaken where suitable air supplied respirators are used. Further consideration should also be given to: a. Illumination and visibility adequate to allow safe working to continue. b. Protection of the breathing airline to the respirator. c. Escape equipment. d. Actuating devices, which require positive effort by the operator to keep blasting apparatus, supply valve open. 6) Chemical Cleaning In addition to creating toxicity hazards, chemicals used in cleaning operation may also be capable of producing a flammable atmosphere. Accordingly, the safety of the atmosphere should be re-evaluated after cleaning and prior to the commencement of further work. F. Purging Prior to Entry Care should be taken in the purging of a confined space to preclude rupture or collapse of the enclosure due to pressure differentials. When flammable contaminants are to be purged, purging and ventilation equipment designed for use in hazardous locations should be employed and precautions taken to eliminate all sources of ignition. Any methods employed in purging should ensure that any contaminants removed from the confined space are exhausted to a location where they present no hazard. Where appropriate, the confined space shall be cleared of contaminants by use of a suitable purging agent. An employer shall ensure that oxygen or gas mixtures are not to be used for purging or ventilation. Where supplied-air-breathing apparatus is not used, precautions should be used to establish and maintain a safe breathing atmosphere. G. Issue of Permits / SWAP The permit / SWAP should state the period of its validity and should be replaced whenever it becomes evident that the duration of work will involve one of the following: 1) A change in the supervisor. 2) A significant break in work continuity. 3) A significant change in atmosphere or work. The permit should be displayed in a prominent position to facilitate signing and clearance.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued H. Standby Persons It is essential that communication and observation between those in the confined space and the standby person(s) be constantly maintained. Communication can be achieved, dependent on the conditions existing in the confined space, by a number of means, including voice, radio hand signals and other appropriate means. Where it is expected that the person entering the confined space and the standby person may change places then authorization shall be required on the permit to do so. The maximum and minimum standby persons should also be recorded on the permit. The supervisor ensures that no person enters the confined space unless standby person(s) outside the confined space are maintained and relieved as required. The supervisor, prior to any person entering the confined space, and during any occupancy of the space, shall ensure appropriate signs and protective barriers are erected to prevent entry of people not involved in the work. A stand-by man shall be assigned the duty of watching the persons working inside the confined space during the time they are inside. The duties of the stand-by man are: 1) He shall have no responsibilities other than to continually watch those inside the confined space and observe their condition and, also, be alert to any need for rescue or other assistance by those inside. 2) He shall be in such a position as to physically observe the condition of every person inside the confined space. 3) He shall have the means (winching equipment or adequate nearby personnel) to rescue any personnel from inside the space. 4) He shall have adequate personal protective equipment available so if it should become necessary to aid those inside the confined space, he can enter the area safely. I.
Safety Equipment Personal protective equipment should only be used as a last resort when all other control measures in the hierarchy are either inadequate or impractical. Competent and well-experienced persons only should decide on the appropriate protective equipment to be used in the confined space. All protective equipment should fit the individual who uses it and the following points should at least be considered: 1) Results of the evaluation of the atmosphere including testing. 2) The process to be conducted within the confined space. 3) The contaminants that may be encountered. 4) The extra load placed on workers when wearing personal protective equipment, which can lead to serious health effects.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued The following should act as a guide as to the protection to be considered. An employer shall, where appropriate, provide suitable safety equipment for: a. Personal protection. b. Rescue. c. First Aid. d. Fire suppression. The equipment shall be appropriate to the work to be carried out in the confined space and shall be maintained in a proper working condition. Personal protective equipment and rescue equipment shall, where appropriate, be selected and fitted to suit the individual (Refer to HSERM / B / B-3 / PPE). J. Maintenance of Personal Protective Equipment It is essential that proper maintenance is an integral part of any personal protective equipment program to ensure that the user receives the required level of protection at all times. Failure to provide the proper cleaning and maintenance can have serious health effects, or possibly result in death. A proper maintenance program should include procedures for: 1) Regular cleaning and disinfecting of the equipment. Equipment worn by more than one (1) worker should be cleaned and disinfected after each use. 2) Drying the equipment. 3) Inspection for any defects. 4) Identification and repair, or replacement, of any used, consumed, worn or defective components and/or equipment. 5) Clean storage of equipment when not in use. 6) Employee’s report damaged defective or lost equipment to a competent person responsible for the repair or replacement. 7) Ensuring supplies of disposable protective equipment are continually available to all users of the equipment. K. Other Equipment 1) Hoses supplying gas operated equipment used in the confined space should be located, suspended or otherwise guarded to avoid accident damage.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 2) Where a portable ladder is used, particular care should be taken to ensure it is adequately constructed and firmly secured to prevent movement. 3) Atmospheric testing and sampling equipment, oxygen meters, explosi-meter, any special ventilating equipment etc. should all be regularly maintained to prevent them being the cause of other hazards (i.e. intrinsically safe etc.). 4) All electrical equipment connected to an external supply to be used in a confined space should comply with API 500, D&WO / DOE&CD / SWIM-001 / Section No.46 / EW and D&WO / DOE&CD / SWIM-001 / Section No.48 / H&PT. 5) Portable electrical equipment should: a. Be connected, individually or collectively, to earth-free extra low voltage supply from an isolating transformer with the transformer located outside the confined space. b. Be protected through a residual current device, with the device being located outside the confined space. c. Additionally, the equipment should be fitted with a flexible supply cable, not inferior to heavyduty type. Where available, it is recommended that all insulated electrical tools be used. L. Safety Harness 1) Each person entering the confined space shall wear a Confined Space Entry safety harness with an attached life-line, except in those rare cases where a life line would increase risk. Such cases must be approved by the PIC (person in charge) and the SA Liaisonman. 2) Suitable safety harnesses come in various types and designs for different purposes and great care should be taken when selecting such equipment. In making such an assessment it is advisable to consult the supplies. A Confined Space Full Body Safety Harness shall be worn at all times when in a confined space. There are various reasons for this requirement: a. Rescue by a direct vertical or horizontal route is practicable. b. There is a hazard of falling during ascent or descent. 3) Safety harnesses and lines should not be used as the sole means of entry or exit to and from a confined space where alternative methods are available. 4) All harnesses should be capable of attachment to a line by means of a “Karabiner” or similar device. 5) Great care must be taken to visually inspect the harness prior to use. Any signs of fraying, cutting or loose stitching should render the harness out of commission.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-21 / CS / Continued 6) The supervisor shall ensure that: a. Openings for entry and exit are of adequate size to permit rescue of all persons who may enter a confined space. b. These openings are not obstructed by fittings or equipment, which could impede rescue, or provide for suitable alternative means of rescue. M. Rescue and Rescue Equipment 1) Method: The removal of trapped, injured or unconscious people from confined spaces is extremely difficult, but invariably involves the use of Rescue line techniques (or Single Line Rescue Techniques - SRT). The use of mechanical lifting equipment should be considered and a Confined Space Entry and Work Tripod is on site before entry to the confined space is permitted. Danger is inherent in these activities. Meticulous attention to detail, knowledge of procedures and high standards of training will minimize risk. Safety standards are not a substitute for foresight, prudence, common sense and experience in the implication of SRT activities. 2) Rescue methods and equipment to be used must be determined (and documented) before commencement of the job. 3) Personnel who are suitably trained in rescue and first aid procedures (Rig Medic) and are to be utilized in the event of any emergency. 4) Entry and exit points to confined spaces must be of adequate size to permit rescue of all persons who may enter a confined space. These openings are not to be obstructed by fittings or equipment which could impede rescue. 5) Standby persons must be equipped with a suitable means of communication. N. Equipment Standards 1) Inspection of and Damage to Equipment; the following precautions are to apply for the inspection and replacement of damaged equipment: a. It is the responsibility of all persons participating to continually check equipment before and during use. b. Equipment that has been damaged or becomes unsafe due to age/wear and tear must be condemned for use immediately. 2) Storage of Equipment All SRT equipment is to be stored separately from all other items in a wellaired area away from fuels, chemicals and released for SRT activities only.

Page 206 of 236
Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued C. LTI - Lost Time Injury/Illness Case (LTI) An On-The-Job injury or occupational illness that involves one or more days away from work beyond the day the injury or illness occurred. Illness includes diseases or rashes that may be caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion or direct contact. The exposure may have taken place over a period of time or resulted from a single incident. Some examples include noise induced hearing loss, dustdisease of the lung, respiratory conditions due to toxic agents, poisoning (such as H2S and other gases), disorders due to physical agents (other than toxic materials) such as heatstroke, heatexhaustion, dehydration, or other environmental factors, and illnesses to medical professionals as a result of exposure to patients. LTI replaces the Industrial Disabling Injury (IDI) to align with standard industry practice and to allow for better performance comparisons (e.g., IDI included On-The-Job fatalities while the LTI does not.) NOTE: Time away from work on the day of the incident is not considered in determining Lost Time Incidents (LTI). Time spent traveling, undergoing evaluation, awaiting medical evaluation results, or otherwise seeking medical treatment should not be counted as a Lost Time Incident (LTI) when considering LTI classification. D. Off-The-Job Disabling Injury Case (ODI) Any injury suffered by an employee that does not arise out of and in the course of employment and which results in death or day(s) away from work. Reference: ANSI Z16.3-1997 – Recording and Measuring Employee Off-The-Job Injury Experience. E. Restricted Duty Injury/Illness Case (RDI) An On-The-Job injury or occupational illness that results in restricted work or job transfer. The employee cannot perform an activity he/she regularly performs at least once a week. (Example: A sprained ankle resulting in a reassignment from a field to a desk job for 5 days.) Does not include restricted work activity limited to the day of injury or illness. Examples of how to determine a restricted work case are: 1) Employee is kept from performing one or more of the routine functions (work activities the employee regularly performs at least once a week) of his/her job, or from working the full workday that he/she would otherwise have been scheduled to work. 2) A physician or other licensed health care professional recommended that the employee not perform one or more of the routine functions of his/her job, or not work the full workday that he/she would otherwise have been scheduled to work. NOTE: Should an employee experience minor musculoskeletal discomfort such as muscle pains or strains, a physician or licensed health care professional determines that the employee is fully able to perform all of his routine job functions, and the employer assigns work restriction to that employee or restricts the employee’s job functions, for purpose of preventing a more serious condition from developing, the case is not recordable as a restricted work case.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued F. Medical Treatment Injury/Illness Case (MTC) An On-The-Job injury or occupational illness that is more serious than On-The-Job first aid injury (FAI) or occupational illness requiring medical treatment. Example(s): Treatment requiring sutures, prescription medicines, vaccines (hepatitis B, rabies), use of tweezers to remove splinters from eye ( rigid means to immobilize part of body). MTC’s include all cases involving: 1) Given one or more doses of prescription medicine. 2) Given an “over the counter” medicine at prescription strength. 3) Other immunizations that are administered to manage a job related injury or illness such as Hepatitis B or rabies vaccine. 4) Using wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, etc. 5) Physical therapy or chiropractic treatment. 6) Using devices with rigid stays or other systems designed to immobilize parts of the body (does not include any non-rigid means of support). 7) Removing splinters from the eye with tweezers and other complex means. G. First Aid Injury Case (FAI) Any treatment of minor scratches, cuts, burns, splinters and so forth, and any follow-up visit for the purpose of observation. A FAI is not a recordable incident. The following are generally considered first aid treatment: 1) Using a non-prescription medication at non-prescription strength (for medications available in both prescription and non-prescription form, a recommendation by a physician or other licensed health care professional to use a non-prescription medication at prescription strength is considered medical treatment (for recordkeeping purposes). 2) Administering tetanus immunizations (other immunizations, such as Hepatitis “B” vaccine are considered medical treatment). 3) Cleaning, flushing or soaking wounds on the surface of the skin. 4) Using wound coverings such as bandages, Band-Aids TM, gauze pads, etc.; or using butterfly bandages or Steri-StripsTM (other wound closing devices such as sutures, staples, etc., are considered medical treatment).

Incident Rate Calculations The Loss Prevention Department published guidelines for the calculation of Loss Time Incident Rate (LTIR) And Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) are summarized and briefly described as follows: A. Lost Time Incident Rate [Number of Lost Time Incidents (LTI) including Fatalities (FAT) multiplied by 200,000 and then divided by Total Man Hours Worked = Lost Time Incident Rate]. B. Total Recordable Incident Rate (TRIR) [(MTC+RDI+LTI+FAT) multiplied by 200,000 then divided by Total Man Hours Worked = Recordable Incident Rate].

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued C. Total Man Hours This is the total number of hours worked (on tour) by the rig crew (50 personnel, each person works a 12 hour shift, 50 x 12 = 600). Work hours must include all leased labor who are under the direct supervision of the drilling contractor; this includes catering crew. Agency labor performing the duties of regular crew must be included. Third party labor such as service companies (casing crews, Wire line crews etc.) are not considered agency labor and should not be included in the man hours.

Recommendations for Handling and Treatment of Injuries and Illness A. Injured personnel shall be accompanied from the rig by a First Aid trained employee to assist with documentation and to provide care for the injured or ill person. B. The vehicle used for transport of the injured shall, in addition to contractual requirements: 1) Be of sufficient size and suitable to accommodate a stretcher (securing points for a stretcher) and accompanying person (seating) entirely within the body of the vehicle or conveyance. 2) Be clean and well maintained, the vehicle must be operational and comply with Saudi Arabian traffic laws at all times. 3) Protect the injured and the accompanying person. 4) Be designed and equipped such that verbal communication between the operator of the vehicle or conveyance and the injured worker or accompanying person is possible. 5) Be air conditioned. 6) Carry sufficient medical supplies and equipment to facilitate the efficient transportation of the specific injured. (The vehicle will be equipped with the minimum equipment required; the medic may be called on to supply additional equipment, medication as required). C. When immediate transportation of the injured is necessary, the Liaisonman/Foreman shall utilize the most efficient means of transportation. D. All personnel returning from a doctor shall submit to the PIC a full duty release or RWC release before commencing any work related activity. A copy of the release shall be submitted to the Department incident administration function.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued 10. Incident Investigation A. Purpose The purpose of conducting an incident investigation is to determine what happened, why it happened, and ensure that recommendations are made and action taken to prevent a recurrence of similar incidents. The investigation is “fact” finding not “fault” finding and is not intended to assign blame. B. Scope The scope of this procedure is applicable to: 1) Saudi ARAMCO rigs. 2) Drilling Contractors and Service Companies not using an approved Investigation and Analysis process 3) Drilling Contractors and Service companies will comply with the overall guidance of this procedure but will conduct their investigations following the specific directions outlined in their own Investigation and Analysis process. 4) This procedure does not replace the investigative requirements outlined in G.I.6.003. C. Definitions, Abbreviations and Acronyms (Refer to HSERM / A / A-1 / DA&A) 1) Incident An undesired event which could have (NEAR MISS) or did result in harm to people, damage to property or the environment or loss to process. 2) Near Miss A near miss is defined as an event which did not result in injury or loss, but which had the potential for injury or loss if circumstances had been slightly different. 3) Direct Cause This is the basic or fundamental reason for the incident. It should be described as an action that results in an outcome. Example: While POOH, the crown cluster was struck by the traveling block and sustained damage. The “direct cause” was; “The driller raised the traveling block too far and struck the crown”.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued 4) Indirect Cause Conditions that existed prior to the incident that contributed to the direct cause. Example: “The driller raised the traveling block too far and struck the crown”. The indirect cause(s) were: a. The Crown-O-Matic was not set correctly b. The driller did not follow the Crown Saver procedure c. The supervisor did not check the IADC report to verify that the driller tested the crown saver. 5) Basic Cause (Root Cause) The most basic cause (or causes) that can reasonably be identified, that management has control to fix and, when fixed, will prevent (or significantly reduce the likelihood or consequences of) the problem's recurrence. By examining the indirect causes and determining why they are present, you will arrive at the basic cause(s) of the incident. Example: The investigation finds that the Crown-O-Matic was not set correctly (indirect cause) because the driller is new and does not know about the Crown Saver procedure or how to set the COM the basic cause is; “The communication of critical procedures to new hires is Less Than Adequate”. 6) Corrective Action Specific outputs in the form of recommendations that are derived from an investigation. Corrective actions shall conform to the criteria of S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Reasonable and Timely) Managers are responsible for closure of corrective actions. Managers will implement all applicable corrective actions to ensure similar conditions do not exist within their areas of responsibility. The decision not to implement a corrective action must be documented and approved by the manager. D. Responsibilities 1) Manager a. Investigate injuries, spills, and other incidents and promptly provide corrective actions. He may achieve this by delegating specific responsibilities to his subordinates. b. Communicate the requirements for incident reporting. This includes encouraging and supporting an environment for open reporting.

Section A / Administrative Requirements D&WO HSE Requirements Manual A-22 / IR&A / Continued b. Assuming lead investigator role if requested. c. Providing technical support in determining injury classification, identifying causal factors, root causes and corrective actions. E. General Incident investigations are characterized by: 1) Immediate notification. 2) Incident scene isolation to protect evidence 3) Timely investigation – begin while the facts are fresh. 4) Fact finding not fault finding. 5) Focus on prevention (what can we do to prevent recurrence?). 6) Interview of employees. 7) Site visit – Review equipment, positions of workers, tools involved. 8) Determination of immediate causes (causal factors). 9) Determination of basic causes (root causes). 10) Two or more specific corrective actions to prevent recurrence based on root causes. F. Training 1) All employees will be trained in the basic reporting processes for injuries, spills, fires, MVA’s, near misses, property damage and other incidents. This training will be incorporated into new hire rig orientations. 2) Managers and supervisors will receive training in investigation techniques and completion of reports, including corrective action to prevent recurrence. 3) Safety Advisors and staff identified by the manager will receive training in advanced investigation methods, including root cause analysis. This will prepare them for investigating the less frequent “Major and Moderate” incidents, as defined in G.I.6.003. G. Analysis All incidents will be recorded in the DIH electronic tracking system. The purpose of this system is to allow for analysis of incidents, performance tracking, and trending for loss reduction.
