HSE POLICY AND STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES

2.1

HSE POLICY STATEMENT

PETROBEL has formalized a Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) Integrated Policy. PETROBEL Integrated Management System refers to ISO 14001 requirements for Environmental Management System, and to OHSAS 18001 specifications for Occupational Health and Safety Management System. The Baltim North Project, for the Construction and Installation Phases, refers to the PETROBEL HSE Policy showed in the Attachement 1.

The policy is implemented through the following commitments: All activities will comply with legal and regulatory health, safety and environmental requirements, as a minimum. Health, safety and environmental protection are the responsibility of the line manager and supervisor in charge of the work. Everyone will know and comply with the mandatory rules, including stopping unsafe work. Everyone will search for continual improvement in health, safety and environmental protection. Contractors will follow the same principles as PETROBEL in of the shared targets. 2.2

HSE PROJECT OBJECTIVES

Project HSE Objectives for Construction and Installation Phases are: Avoid any accidents and injury during construction and installation, implementing the best project and operating procedures from HSE point of view in compliance with economical and technical requirements; Motivating personnel at all levels on HSE issues and communicating clear commitments. The HSE activities within this plan have the following objectives: Establish, implement and maintain an effective HSE Integrated Management System throughout the project lifecycle. Demonstrate compliance with HSE policy and work within the PETROBEL HSE Integrated Management System. Ensure Contractor, Sub-contractor and Vendor HSE Management systems are compatible with those of PETROBEL. Ensure compliance with International and Egyptian Health, Safety and Environmental legislation, codes and standards. Manage risk in construction, installation, commissioning, drilling, operational and maintenance activities. Ensure that appropriate levels of competencies for all persons engaged in performing HSE critical tasks are established and provide training where necessary. Ensure that all possibilities of occupational exposure to health hazards to personnel are kept to a minimum and that any identified risks will be given a priority to mitigate risks ensuring employees health at work. Ascertain any potential health impact of construction and installation operations on the neighbouring environment and to ensure that these are minimised. Ensure a full inventory of all emissions, wastes and discharges is maintained and that all wastes are disposed of in a manner that is acceptable from an environmental and regulatory standpoint.

RISK MANAGEMENT

The Risk Management process will be applied during the construction and installation phases of the development of the Project to achieve the following: Systematically identify hazards, threats and potential hazardous events Identify activities that can release the hazard Determine how likely is it to occur Evaluate (assess) the risks against PETROBEL assessment criteria Record the significant hazards and effects Document the findings Implement suitable risk reduction measures (prevent, control and mitigate) Determine if the hazard can be eliminated or controlled Reduce the probability of occurrence Reduce the consequences Determine what measures are required if the hazard occurs During the following phases of the Project a qualitative assessments of identified significant risks to identify areas for potential risk reduction and/or where mitigation measures need to be assessed shall be carried out. Residual events will be assessed against defined Risk Screening and assessment Procedure (Doc. HSE-IMS Procedure No 2 )

5.1 METHODS AND PROCEDURES FOR HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION, RISK EVALUATION AND MANAGEMENT Hazard will be identified and assessed using the following tools and techniques: Experience from previous experiences, Use of checklists and accident statistics; Codes and standards; The selection of the appropriate hazard identification and risk evaluation tools and techniques should depend upon the nature and scale of the installation, the information available, the phase of the project and experience of similar installations. The emphasis at the Construction and Installation phases are on minimising HSE risks by adopting, where practicable at this stage, by careful design and implement operating procedures. For Construction and Installation Phases has been held a brainstorming dated 17th of February 2004 to map the Risk , each discipline

attended it was in charge of analyzing the risks related to his/her competence area for the Construction/Installation Phase of the Project. Following a Risk Management Plan for Baltim North an Action Plan has been finalized to mitigate the risk evaluated (Attachement 3). Management has reviewed the Risk Management Plan.

5.2

ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS

Adequate knowledge of the environment in its present conditions and forecast of the impact determined by the project activities represent the basis for defining appropriate measures to minimise the impact. An Environmental Impact Assessment of the environment conditions prior to project implementation has been carried out to evaluate the effects of the project activities on the environment and to define and implement measures to minimize the impact. 5.3

OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Protect health and safety of the personnel working in the Project, in connection with the activities assigned is a project target, which has been catched through: identification of risks for the health and safety of the personnel working on the project, connected with the working environment and to the specific activities Define protection measures and Personal Protective Equipment necessary for the different tasks Ensure proper procedures and training are activated for personnel to be aware of risks, of safety measures to adopt in the execution of the tasks to remove or minimise risks Ensure measures are implemented to intervene promptly in case of injury to personnel, including provision of medical section on the working sites, training of personnel to first aid, emergency actions and appropriate facilities

6.

HSE ACTIVITIES

Project documents forwarded and operating procedures by the technical disciplines are checked to that all HSE requirements, HSE design criteria and recommendations from HSE studies have been correctly implemented and the relevant aspects covered. Existing Operating Procedures will be assessing to be fit for pourpose; where it is required; other Operating Procedures will be developed and implemented. During SIMOPS operations particular care will be taken to identify risks and managed them through Risks assessment and SIMOPS Procedures. A systematic Management Walk Through will be implemented with objective to identified the actions for continuos improvement of HSE performance.

7.

INTERFACES AND COMMUNICATION

An effective and systematic communication is to be established: with Shareholders Representatives; within the Project functions; with Contractors; The communication line and measures aim at ensuring: awareness on HSE matters; updated knowledge on HSE project issues; co-ordination of HSE aspects among the different project functions and with contractors; efficient management of emergency situations; good relationship and co-operation among people involved in the project and with the population. Formal arrangements in of Meetings and Monthly Reports will be developed.

8.

AUDIT

The audit process acts as a management activity for independent assessment of any designed process or activity. The audit process provides an independent tool for use in obtaining objective evidence that the existing requirements have been met, since the audit evaluates the effectiveness and efficiency of the project. Audit will be performed to assess: − Correct implementation of HSE Plan and Operating Procedures − Identification and compliance with project applicable codes and standards requirements Audit will be carried out in compliance with HSE Audit and Inspection procedure (Doc. HSE-IMS Procedure No 03)

9.

CONTINGENCY AND EMERGENCY RESPONSE

Adequate preparation to react to foreseeable events shall be put in place. The site location, during drilling and SIMOPS phases will have an Emergency Response Plan, integrated with PETROBEL Emergency Response Plan, which will be maintained, exercised regularly and communicated to all personnel. Exercises and Drills will be held on a regular basis and will cover realistic emergency scenarios, including all aspects of contingency planning and response procedures. Where necessary external bodies will be advised. Key personnel will be trained to a level of competence appropriate to their responsibility in an emergency.

10.

INCIDENT/NEAR MISSES INVESTIGATION

The reporting and recording of any event altering normal conduction of working activities, besides being a requirement prescribed by law regulations, is an essential tool for the analysis of data related to accidents, incidents and near-misses occurred, and for the evaluation of this phenomena and their development over time; in particular, the study of the data relevant to occurrence types and modes, enables to identify structural and/or organizational weak areas, as well as to define improvements or prevention measures enabling to prevent their reoccurrence. Project Team ensure that incidents and near misses will be though roughly investigated and appropriate measure will be taken to avoid repetition of events.

Incidents will be immediately notified to Company and personnel supervises investigation on causes and application of measures defined according to Company procedures Accident /Incidents reporting and investigation.( Doc. HSE-IMS Procedure No 01)
