PREFACE White Nile (5B) Petroleum Operating Company (WNPOC) Ltd. recognises and believes excellent Health, Safety & Environment (HSE) management and performance is essential to achieve work efficiency, productivity, profitability and growth for the organisation and its shareholders in the different production blocks 5A, 5B and 8. It is, therefore, essential that HSE is managed through a structured Health, Safety and Environment Management System (HSEMS) that complements the overall Business Management System of WNPOC. This HSEMS manual is based on the Oil & Gas Producers’ Association (OGPA) guidelines, the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001, the ISO 14001 Environment Management System Standards and best practices from the industry. The HSEMS can, therefore, be accredited to the internationally recognised OHSAS 18001 and ISO 14001. The HSEMS manual describes the structured framework that demonstrates the commitment to proactively manage HSE in all our operations. Many of the features described in this manual are indistinguishable from the sound management practices advocated by the proponents of quality and business excellence. It describes the essential elements required to effectively manage HSE issues so that losses are prevented and gain optimised. The HSEMS manual is structured such that it can be used in any geographical region and be adapted to include particular governmental legislations. Effective HSE management has become a requirement with all major oil and gas operators and with the advent of this HSEMS manual as standard, WNPOC is assuring all stakeholders that there is a structured HSE Management System in place. The requirements set down in this document constitute the minimum expectations for compliance with the WNPOC HSE policy and it is expected that all WNPOC employees and contractors will adhere to them whilst ensuring that all the legal requirements in Sudan and the expectations of the host authorities, such as the Oil Exploration & Production Authority (OEPA), Sudanese Petroleum Corporation and the Ministry of Energy & Mining (MEM), are duly met. To enable this, WNPOC is committed to provide the necessary resources to effectively implement the HSE Management System.

Overview

1 WNPOC/LI/HSE/001
White Nile (5B) Petroleum Operating Company Ltd. The White Nile Petroleum (5B) Operating Company (WNPOC) is appointed by the shareholders under the Joint Operators’ Agreements with the Oil Exploration & Production Administration (OEPA), Sudanese Petroleum Corporation and the Ministry of Energy & Mining (MEM) to be the Operator for Blocks 5A, 8 & 5B. The shareholders in the areas operated by WNPOC are: Block 5A - PETRONAS Carigali (Overseas) Sdn. Bhd., ONGC Videsh Ltd., & SUDAPET Ltd.; Block 5B - PETRONAS Carigali White Nile (5B) Ltd., ONGC Videsh Ltd., SUDAPET Ltd. & Lundin Sudan Block 5B Ltd; and Block 8 - PETRONAS Carigali (Overseas) Sdn.Bhd., SUDAPET Ltd. & Hi Tec Ltd. WNPOC has begun development to start operations to produce crude oil from Block 5A in Sudan. Block 5A is located onshore within the Muglad Basin in Southern Sudan 950 km south of capital Khartoum. The block covers an area of approximately 7.4 million acres. The Thar Jath field that is being developed first is approximately 13.5 km long and at the widest section is 4 km wide. The oil from the wells is sweet and heavy (20oAPI) with a low Gas Oil Ratio (GOR). The oil from Thar Jath is to be pumped through a 24” pipeline to Heiglig where it will be injected into the current crude pipeline that transports crude from GNPOC blocks 1, 2 & 4 concession areas to Port Sudan, 750 km North of Khartoum. Block 5A is in an area that is classified as Savannah Grassland and is under developed with little or no local infrastructure. Currently only Tar Jath is being drilled to produce crude oil that is collected at Oil & Gas Manifolds (OGMs) and piped to the Central Processing Facilities (CPF). The separated crude is then stored in one crude storage tank before it is exported through the 24” pipeline to Heiglig where the crude is stored in one buffer tank (that is normally empty) before being injected into the main pipeline from Heiglig to Port Sudan. The Central Processing Facilities is powered by a heavy fuel power generation system. The power system also provides the required power for the fire fighting system that is used for emergencies as well as for the accommodation facilities that houses the crew operating the field and processing facilities. Health, Safety and Environment have been given the utmost consideration in seismic and exploration activities as well as during the facilities design, construction and operation.

The resources are in the form of budget allocations, tools & equipment and also competent personnel who will: • Conduct the work safely • Manage HSE issues as they arise • Provide specialist advise and training on HSE • Be equipped to handle emergencies should the need arise • Liase with the relevant authorities on HSE issues Hardware resources are always selected for safety integrity and operational capability before they are purchased by Procurement and inspected by Logistics before they are sent to worksite for use. At the worksite they are further checked before use. WNPOC management is committed to ensure that any defective hardware or hardware of unacceptable quality is never used at any worksite in order to reduce any potential accidents that may result when such resources are used.
3.3
Competence WNPOC recognises that to effectively manage HSE there is a critical requirement to have competent personnel and contractors who have been selected to carry out the company’s activities. The initial recruitment and selection criteria are based on: • Personal abilities • Acquired knowledge • Skills developed through experience in carrying out similar activities • Understanding the legal HSE requirements and the need to create a healthy and safe working environment that does not cause any damage to the environment. Once the selection and recruitment has been done, systems and processes are put in place to ensure that the competencies are maintained and enhanced. These include: • The development of a HSE Training Matrix matching the position and the HSE knowledge and/or skill required. • Matching the competence levels required for maintaining the proactive and reactive risk controls developed through the risk assessment carried out. • Implementation of the training programme based on the training matrix • Review and assessment of the competence levels annually through a Training Needs Analysis procedure • Competence review on the adaptability to changing activities and technologies • The provision of correct procedures, tools and equipment • The assessment on the correct usage of the procedures, tools and equipment • Assessment of personnel performance against the criteria set for the job profile

• Documentation of the personnel competence levels and training attended. Competency requirements for HSE Critical Activities (activities that are required to be carried to maintain risk controls) are listed in the document ref: WNPOC/LII/HSE/022. Training is carried out as a continuous learning process based on the Training Matrix in Appendix 3. The requirements and time frame for refresher training are specified in the training matrix. The HSE Manager is responsible for identifying suitable training programmes and select appropriate training providers to ensure that the training matrix requirements are met as p lan n ed . As a minimum, it is considered mandatory that all staff and contractors undergo HSE awareness programmes on the legislation in Sudan and the WNPOC HSEMS requirements. Training is conducted through formal courses and On Job Training (OJT). The line department heads ensure that staff and contractors are released for the required mandatory and compulsory training programmes. The HSE department prepares the budget requirements for approval annually through the annual Work Programme and Budget exercise and also maintains training records.

Contractor HSE Management Contractors play a major part in WNPOC’s activities. Contractors are used in various activities such as Seismic evaluation, Drilling, Facilities Design, Construction, and Commissioning as well as Facility and System Maintenance and Production. Contractor HSE Management is therefore a critical activity in WNPOC’s business management. To manage the contractors especially in terms of HSE, WNPOC has adopted the Contractor HSE Management guidelines issued by the Oil & Gas Producers’ Association. These guidelines have been converted into a guidebook procedure that is used throughout WNPOC. HSE requirements are made clear at each stage of the contract beginning with the Invitation To Bid (ITB) and ending with the Contract Close Out and Performance Evaluation. Contractor HSE Management is the joint responsibility of the Divisional General Managers and Managers. The HSE Manager provides specialised HSE input.
3.4.1 Invitation to Bid At • • •

identification
HSE Risk management is the process of identifying, assessing, and controlling HSE risks arising from the operational activities and making decisions that balance risk costs with operational and business benefits. Risk management is integrated into planning at all levels to improve operational effectiveness by identifying the hazards and implementing proactive controls to reduce the potential losses. The basic principles adopted in HSE risk management are: 1. Accept no unnecessary risks that impact life, assets, the environment or the reputation of WNPOC. 2. To reduce the risk to a level that is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) i.e. to accept risks only when the benefits outweigh the costs 3. Anticipate and manage risks by effective planning 4. Make risk decisions at the appropriate level
4.2
HSE Risk Management Process Risk is characterized by both the probability of hazard being released and the severity of the consequences that result from the release of the hazard. Since risk perception varies within WNPOC, a structured approach is undertaken to assess and manage the risks. The 6 basic steps in the risk management process that has been adopted are: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6.
Identify the Hazards Assess the Risks Analyse risk control measures Make Risk Control Decisions Implement Risk Controls Review Control Effectiveness

Various tools are used to identify the hazards e.g. HAZOP Job Safety Analysis HAZID HAZAN EIA HRA CHRA
4.2.1 HSE Risk definitions Hazard – An energy form that has the potential to cause harm, ill health or injury, damage to property, plant, products or the environment, production losses or increased liabilities Top or Risk Event - The first event resulting from the release of a hazard Consequence – The incident that results from the release of the hazard that causes • • • •
Damage to property, Injury and / or has adverse health effects to people, Environmental pollution, and/or Negative impression of the responsibility of the company
Threats – any unsafe act or unsafe condition that causes the hazard (that is normally contained) to be released to be a consequence Barriers (Preventive/Proactive Controls) – Physical or procedural measures that have been instituted within the company business process to prevent the threats from releasing the hazard and causing harm Recovery Measures (Reactive Controls) – Reactive measures that have been developed in case the barriers fail and the hazard is released. Two types of Recovery Measures are normally identified: •
Containment – measures that limit the amount of hazard released or stop the continued release of the hazard

Mitigation – measures that minimise the impact of the consequences resulting from the hazard released
Risk - the product of the likelihood that a specified undesired event will occur and the severity of the impact of the consequences of the event
4.2.2 Hazard Identification The hazard identification process adopted in WNPOC is as follows: • • • •
WNPOC business process stages are defined The major activities in each stage are then listed out The sub activities are then identified The front line supervisors and workers then identify the hazards that are associated with each sub-activity.
These are then compiled into a Hazard Register (refer to Appendix 6 for template). The line managers and supervisors together with HSE manager and his staff update the Hazard Register: • When there is a change in the process and thereby resulting in a variation in the risk assessment • When there is a change in the facilities used • When new business is embarked upon
4.2.3 Assessing the Risks The hazards are then assessed to determine what the risks are when they are released. The risk is a factor of the severity of the impact caused by the released hazard and the likelihood of the hazard being released from its normal containment. Whether the risk is High, Medium or Low is then determined using the Risk Assessment Matrix (RAM).

a) HSE Risk Matrix Definitions The likelihood of a risk event and its consequences occurring are as per the matrix:
Likelihood Remote Unlikely Moderate Likely Frequent
Description This risk may only occur in exceptional circumstances. Never heard in the industry. This risk could occur at some time. Heard of the event in the industry. This risk should occur at some time. Event has occurred in our company. The risk will probably occur in most circumstances. Happens several times a year, generally 3 times or more in company. The risk is expected to occur in most circumstances. Happens several times a year, generally 3 times or more in location.
The severity or the impact of consequences resulting from a risk event are categorized into qualitative and quantitative considerations:
b) Qualitative situations Impact Catastrophic Major Moderate Minor Insignificant
Qualitative Description Loss of ability to sustain ongoing operations. A situation that would cause the company to cease operations. Significant impact of the achievement of the company’s strategic objectives and targets relating to its business plans Disruptions of normal operations with a limited effect on the achievement of strategic objectives or targets relating to the company’s business plan No material impact on the achievement of the company’s business objectives or strategies Negligible impact
4.2.4 Analysing Control Measures The project managers, field engineers and front line supervisors together then identify the Risk Control Measures that need to be instilled to: a) Prevent the hazard from being released through: I. Determining the causes or threats (unsafe acts or unsafe conditions) that can release the hazard to cause an undesirable event (Top or Risk Event) that can lead to consequences that have an impact on people, assets, the environment and/or the company’s reputation II. Identifying the barrier for each cause or threat that can prevent the hazard from being released b) Recovery from any incident should the barriers fail and release the hazard. Two types of Recovery Measures are considered: HEALTH, SAFETY & ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

I. Containment – to limit the release of the hazard II. Mitigation– to minimize the impact of the consequences that have resulted from the hazard release The criteria used for determining risk control measures is dependent on the criticality of the risk and the following guidelines are used: •
HIGH risks – at least 2 hardware and 1 procedural/administrative barriers
•
MEDIUM risks – at least 1 hardware and 1 procedural/administrative barriers
•
LOW risks – 2 procedural/ administrative barrier
The key consideration in implementing the risk control measures is that the benefit > risk and the residual risk is manageable through administrative and procedural controls. The results are then presented to the management team for endorsement of the controls at workplace.
4.2.5 Decision Making A decision is then made whether the benefits to be obtained outweigh the cost of implementing these controls. The As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) principle is used as the basis for making the Risk Control decisions. The level of authority given is: a. The senior management team of WNPOC decides on the controls for the HIGH risks b. The operations, technical and production managers decide on the MEDIUM risk controls c. The LOW risk controls are left jointly to the discipline engineers and front line supervisors The decisions are then communicated through the various HSE Committees and through memorandums to the appropriate level in the organisation that is impacted by them.
4.2.6 Implementing Controls The discipline engineers, the front line supervisors and workers implement the risk control measures. The field engineers are responsible for any design or procedural changes and these are communicated to the front line staff before they are enforced. Discipline engineers help develop training, job aids and measurement packages to help implement the risk controls effectively so that risks are eliminated or reduced to a minimum level that is As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP).

4.2.7 Reviewing Control Effectiveness To ensure the controls are implemented effectively and maintained, competent personnel and supervisors are engaged to carry out the job. The competency requirements are specified in a HSE Critical Activity Catalogue (refer to Appendix 7 for template). HSE Critical activities are activities that are carried out to ensure that the controls – both proactive and reactive - always work as required. Close supervision is enforced until it has become part of the normal operating procedure. In order to ensure that these controls are indeed sufficient to manage the risks, measurement is conducted through the establishment of KPIs (Key Performance Indicators). This then is the feedback cycle where the controls are reviewed and improved as and when necessary. Any gaps found in the risk management process are registered and tracked through the Remedial Action Register (refer to Appendix 8 for template).

with the WNPOC HSE policy requirements. The custodian of the HSE procedures is the HSE Manager who ensures that the procedures are integrated with the Quality Management System. The procedures have been converted to Work Instructions in order to define the manner in which tasks at work site have to be conducted. The critical task work instructions have been developed using the Job Safety Analysis technique in order that the hazards have been identified, assessed and precautions have been included to ensure safe implementation. The discipline supervisors conduct Job Safety Analyses on the tasks to be carried out and convert them into the relevant work Instructions. All procedures and work instructions are developed in consultation with those using them and further enhanced during the daily toolbox talks that are used to further emphasize the precautions to be taken on the daily activities. The list of level II procedures used to manage HSE is listed in Appendix 9. Some of the critical HSE procedures that are in use in WNPOC are: • Permit – To – Work • Job Safety Analysis (used in all critical tasks) • Lock Out Tag Out • HSE Risk Management • HSE Barrier and Recovery Measure effectiveness and maintenance • Management of Change • Emergency Response and Management • Oil Spill Response and Management • Waste management • Air and Effluent Pollution Control Management • Audit • Safe Use of Explosives • Safe Driving
5.3
Management of Change The Management of Change is a critical procedure that is used to plan and control changes that have an HSE impact whenever there is a change to: • • • •
People in critical positions Work processes and procedures Critical equipment used in the processes Legal requirements
The procedure addresses the following requirements: • • • •
Identify and document the changes and their implementation Assign responsibility for reviewing and recording the potential HSE hazards that result from the change Authority to implement the change Review of the improvement resulting from the change

Emergency Planning WNPOC recognises that to provide and maintain a safe and healthy work environment, it is vital to look into all the aspects of HSE related activities. The Hazard Register addresses the need to have containment and mitigation recovery measures identified should instituted barriers or preventive controls fail and cause HSE incidents. An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is developed based on the Recovery Measures identified in the Hazard Register. The ERP comprises a matrix of plans to handle the various potential emergencies that might arise out of WNPOC’s activities and lists out the organisation as well as the resources required to manage each specific emergency situation. In order to operationalise the ERP, the Emergency Response Procedure Manual (ERPM) has been developed. The ERPM defines how and what organisation is set up to handle emergencies. The ERPM defines the organisation, responsibilities, resources required and communication channels able to handle emergency situations. WNPOC emergency management organisation is split into 3 stages i.e. • Tier 1 – Frontline response at worksite • Tier 2 – Emergency management support from the Emergency Control Centre (ECC) based in WNPOC headquarters • Tier 3 – Support is required from the Government authorities and/or other PSC contract companies A separate Oil Spill Response Plan (OSRP) is developed to handle oil spill incidents since the consequences arising from an oil spill vary and have different impacts to the WNPOC business.
5.4.1 Tier 1 Response The front line supervisor and the workforce normally form the frontline response team to physically attend to the emergency. The initial response team is led by the Site Installation Superintendent as the On-Scene Commander and comprises the site engineers, supervisors, the operators and technicians to manage the whole emergency operations.
5.4.2 Tier 2 Response Whenever there is an emergency, the Duty Manager at the headquarters in Khartoum is notified. Should the situation at site get out of control or the site response team needs resource assistance, the Duty Manager activates the Emergency Management Team at the Emergency Control Centre (ECC). The EMT led by the Duty Emergency Response Manager (ERM) comprises members from Security, Production, Operations, Technical Services, Logistics, HR, and HSE as a minimum. The President, Vice President, Manager Security and Head Corporate Affairs & Community Development are also advised so that they can be on standby to provide any assistance required to manage the emergency.

5.4.3 Tier 3 Response Tier 3-response support is required when the emergency escalates to a situation where assistance is required beyond WNPOC’s capabilities. This response is sought through a Mutual Aid Agreement with the other EPSA operators in the vicinity of WNPOC’s operating blocks as well as the Sudanese Government through the offices of the Ministry of Energy and Mining.
5.4.4 Drills To measure the effectiveness of the ERP, drills are conducted at various times during the project execution to ensure that staff are prepared to handle the emergencies should the need arise. The ERP is updated based on the findings from the drills. The frequency and type of drills to be conducted are included in the Company annual HSE Plans.

Performance Monitoring WNPOC monitors closely the implementation of the activities and tasks to ensure that they are conducted according to the relevant procedures and work instructions that were developed during the planning stage. Competent supervision and competent workforce is employed to attend to the HSE Critical Activities – the activities that need to ensure that the barriers and recovery measures identified during the risk management process – are effectively and efficiently carried out. The project and operations engineering team carry out verification tasks to ascertain that these activities and tasks are performed such that HSE objectives and performance criteria are met. Programmed HSE Management Inspections, Production HSE inspections and workforce unsafe act/unsafe condition inspections are carried out to ensure that HSE issues are being regularly addressed at worksite. WNPOC has procedures for both active and reactive monitoring. Leading and Reactive Indicators have been developed to supplement the monitoring.
6.1.1 Proactive Indicators • • • • • • • • •
HSEMS implementation – percentage implementation HSE inspections – planned v actual HSE audits - planned v actual Implementation of audit findings HSE training implementation – planned v actual Safe working hours – percentage of available working hours Occupational Health Surveillance monitoring Waste management monitoring Effluent discharge monitoring
6.1.2 Reactive Indicators • • • • • •
Fatalities Lost Time Injury frequency per million man-hours Total Reportable Case Frequency per million man-hours Hearing damage cases Effluent discharge exceeding legal limits Waste storage above legal limits
Records of the performances based on the Leading and Trailing Indicators are maintained by the HSE department, trended and reported to the management. These are then analysed and discussed at HSE meetings. The records are maintained as Level 4 documents. Recommendations to improve performance are decided and included in the Remedial Action Register.

Audit Plan WNPOC believes that audits are essential to measure the efficiency and effectiveness of the HSE Management System and also to determine whether the implementations of the risk controls are effective. Audits are conducted based on the Internal HSE Auditing procedure. There are 3 levels of audit implemented in WNPOC: Level 1 – Compliance Audit - compliance to procedures, legal requirements, HSE inspections, contractor HSE competency audits. Level 2 – Internal HSEMS audit – audit of the HSEMS by WNPOC internal staff led by a senior management staff. Level 3 – External audit by Partners or Authorities – these are project HSE audits conducted by partners with participation from WNPOC senior staff. Host authorities may also conduct audits on WNPOC operations. These audits are structured and planned. The audit plans are included in the annual HSE plans and Project HSE plans. Actions to correct Audit findings are included in the Remedial Action Register. These actions are then assigned target dates and resources to ensure that they are completed and findings closed out on a timely basis.
7.2
Audit Competency The audit procedure describes the audit process in detail explaining the auditor’s competency requirements, the interviewing requirements, the recording of findings, evaluating audit results and preparing recommendations. The Training Matrix includes audit training for senior managers, managers and other identified WNPOC staff to ensure that they are capable of conducting effective HSE audits.
