INTRODUCTION

Health, Safety and Environmental is an inherent aspect of our core business process and our day-
to-day activities. The AMEC health, safety and environmental management system is based on
the Health and Safety Executive publication Successful health and safety management HS(G)65,
which enables the development, implementation and monitoring of processes and procedures for
all our activities including engineering, design, construction and procurement, in line with
contractual requirements and AMEC/SNEPCO management systems. A key aim of the hazard
management process is to ensure that risks to personnel operating the Bonga FPSO are reduced
to levels that are as low as is reasonably practicable (ALARP) in the context of internationally
accepted standards.

This plan describes the management of HS&E within AMEC during the project. It illustrates the
AMEC commitment to the Health and Safety of all personnel involved in the design, engineering,
construction, commissioning and integration phases of the Bonga development.

All companies involved in the Bonga Development Project will interface their HSE responsibilities
through applicable bridging interface documents and procedures. This process will be recorded in
the SNEPCO Bonga HS&E Interfacing Document [Ref:1].

AMEC acknowledges its responsibilities as a Contractor to comply with all relevant statutory
requirements pertaining to work completed by its employees and Sub-Contractors for all phases
of the project.



Throughout each phase of the Bonga development this HS&E Plan shall be considered as a
Live document and as such will be subject to continual review through each phase of the project.


Page 7 of 48

Any amendments to the plan will take into account any new HS&E initiatives and legislation that
may affect the work conducted on the project by AMEC or Sub-Contractor personnel. The plan is
organised in a hierarchical structure based on the policies, strategies and goals described in
section 1.0. The structure is headed by the policy and cascades down through the defined
management system strategy and goals and then into the more specific HS&E MS systems and
procedures.

The plan is designed to be flexible so that the HS&E requirements of the Bonga Project
Management and of sub-contractors can be interfaced successfully Fig 2. To this end the plan
together with the corporate AMEC HS&E Management System and the SNEPCO Bonga HS&E

1.0 POLICY, STRATEGY AND GOALS

1.1 POLICY

AMEC Policy statements on Health and Safety and the Environment are the key polices
that shows the AMEC commitment to obtaining the highest practical achievable standards
of safety, occupational health and environmental protection, while conducting its business.
The corporate HS&E management system that clearly defines the activities and
responsibilities of all personnel support these management policies.

1.1.1 Health and Safety

AMEC will comply with all relevant applicable health and safety legislation. To this aim
AMEC has prepared Health and Safety Statements of Intent clearly stating the aims of the
company along with responsibilities of all employees.

A copy of the AMEC Health and Safety Policy Statement of Intent is attached within
Appendix 1.

1.1.2 Environment

A prime AMEC objective is to maintain a healthy and safe environment and to minimise
any impact on the environment. In order to achieve this, the AMEC environmental policy
and procedures ensure that we comply with current environmental standards.

Throughout the onshore pre-commissioning phase of the project, continuous monitoring
shall assess any environmental impact.

1.2 STRATEGY

The AMEC strategy, has been developed to achieve the highest possible health, safety
and environmental standards throughout each phase of the Bonga development is as
follows:

Project Management/Supervision will be assessed on a regular basis to ensure their
competence in HS&E Management. The HS&E Manager will conduct assessments
through the monitoring and review process.

This HS&E Plan will be fully disseminated to all personnel and implemented in its
entirety.

A message from the Project Manager to all new starters regarding the Projects HS&E
requirements and their responsibilities will form part of the induction process to
demonstrate his personal commitment and to request for the same commitment from
all Bonga Project employees.


Page 10 of 48

Responsibilities for HS&E will be clearly defined through to Area Engineers and
Supervision, they will be held accountable for all HS&E matters within their area of work
and authority. Project Sub-Contractors will also have to demonstrate HS&E
Management through their engineers and supervision.

The Company Disciplinary Procedure for breach of HS&E policies, procedures and
practices will be fully explained to all personnel and fairly administered by all levels of
Management and Supervision.

The Bonga Management Team ( BMT) will produce an annual Personal Safety
Contract. The HS&E Manager will audit the implementation of these Personal Safety
Contracts. All BMT Personnel Safety Contracts will be displayed.

All Project Personnel must acknowledge the HS&E Site Advisers position and authority
through actively supporting and acting upon their decisions.

AMEC/Sub-contractors/Supervision will be assessed on their performance and
approach to HS&E Management throughout the duration of the project. The Project
Manager, HSE Manager and site HSE Advisers will carry out this assessment. All
findings will be displayed on the project intranet site and notice boards.

All project management, including those of Sub-contractors must be seen to be visible
and play an active role in HS&E Management.

The HSE Manager will regularly brief the BMT on HS&E issues.

1.3 GOALS

Key health, safety and environmental goals have been set to give focus and direction to
our activities and improvement plans and the project performance standards.

The key goals are:

Minimise our impact on the environment.
Eliminate, reduce or control risks to levels that are demonstrably ALARP in the context
of an international project.
Fully comply with applicable standards and legislation.
Apply HS&E strategies that ensure compliance with SNEPCOs incident frequency
targets.

1.3.1 Project Health and Safety Performance Targets

AMEC endorse the SNEPCO visionary commitment to a zero target for health, safety and

Minimise negative long-term impact on the environment

All AMEC established Corporate Environmental Objectives should be targeted and
integrated with the Bonga project targets.




Page 12 of 48

1.3.3 Definitions

a) Total Reportable Occupational Illness (TROI)

An occupational illness is defined as a work related abnormal condition or disorder, other
than that resulting from a work injury caused by or mainly through exposure at work,
whether a case involves a work injury or occupational illness is determined by the nature
of the original event or exposure that caused the case not by the resulting condition. Work
injuries are caused by a single event in the working environment; cases resulting from
anything other than a single event are considered occupational illnesses are record-able.

b) Total Record-able Case incident shall be defined as:

Lost Time Incident (LTI)

The sum of fatalities and work related injuries that cause incapacity for more than three (3)
workdays beyond the day on which the incident occurred.

Incapacity Accidents

Work related injuries that cause incapacity for more then one (1) work day beyond the day
on which the incident occurred.

Medical Treatment Case (MTC)

A minor work related injury that requires hospital attendance/treatment and which result in
the injured person returning to work on the day of the accident or the first work day after
the day of the accident.

c) The Total Record-able Case Frequency Rate shall be calculated on the following
basis:

TRCF Rate = Incapacity Accidents + MTC x 1,000,000
Man-hours Worked
LTIF Rate = Lost Time Incidents >3days x 1,000,000
Man-hours worked

1.3.4 Project Objectives

Apply the AMEC experience in risk assessment and reliability engineering.
To produce a cost-effective design that minimises impact to the environment throughout
the project life cycle.
Promote Health, Safety & Environmental management as our prime company priority.
Consolidate and improve our health, safety & environmental performance.
Develop a culture of reporting without fear of blame.
Actively involve everyone in providing a safe and healthy environment.
Take ownership of our HS&E responsibilities.
Demonstrate to our customers the competence and commitment of our employees
To establish safe working practices that will meet, and better in some cases, the
acceptance criteria throughout the design, fabrication and installation.

4. IMPLEMENTATION, MONITORING AND REVIEW

The Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle is an integral mechanism in the implementation of
management system control. This forms the first level of continuous performance
improvement to our operating processes and is directly influenced by the personnel who
operate the process.

The effectiveness of the HS&E controls within the management system is evaluated by
the use of:

Active monitoring which measures compliance with standards and achievement of
objectives.
Reactive monitoring reports.


Page 24 of 48

Continuous improvement.
Preparation and implementation of performance standards

Measures used for both active and reactive monitoring are supported by formal
procedures that ensure that suitable corrective and as necessary preventative actions are
identified.

4.1 Active Monitoring

All site supervisors shall derive their own standards for active monitoring.

4.2 Reactive Monitoring

Reactive monitoring includes recognition, consideration and reporting of:

Injuries and case of ill health.
Other loss events e.g. property damage, fire.
Incidents including near misses with the potential to cause injury, ill health, damage,
loss or harm to the environment.
Hazards.
Weakness or omissions in the company arrangements.
Complaints

Formal procedures exist to ensure the systematic recording of accidents, incidents,
defects and hazards so that causes and potential loses may be analysed, corrective
actions identified and implemented. Investigation to determine underlying causes may also
highlight negative aspects of the operation of the Management System, however, these
are viewed as "earning opportunities" allowing improvements to be made and the direction
or resources and attention towards safety and environmental priorities thus strengthening
the Management System.

4.3 Accidents/Incidents & Near Misses

4.3.1 Accident/Incident Prevention

To prevent injury and damage it is necessary to recognise potential hazards and take
action to control or eliminate them. This involves systems of control, which will include safe
methods of work, adequate supervision, planned maintenance, machinery guarding,
personal protection and personnel HS&E awareness.

4.3.2 Accident/Incident Reporting & Investigation


The Bonga project shall adopt an accident and incident reporting and investigation for
system for all sites. Each site may opt to employ its own system however the project
system shall always apply. Refer SAD-92-005.

4.4 Audit and Review

The BONGA project shall develop a program of audits and reviews throughout the
lifecycle of the project [Ref: 5]. These shall include design and engineering activities.
The HUC Team shall implement a system of audit, to include both internal and external
audits of Sub-contractor (if deemed necessary).

Page 27 of 48

HS&E audits and reviews will be conducted to an agreed audit schedule by a combined
audit team to evaluate compliance with the HS&E Management System and Bonga
Project Health, Safety & Environmental Plan.
The audit schedule will be combined where practicable with the Project QA audit and
review programme as shown on the Integrated QA/HSE Audit & Review Schedule [Ref: 5].
The overall HS&E audit programme will be agreed with AMEC Project Management and
SNEPCO Bonga teams.

The aim is to perform the audits as the relevant activities are being carried out in order to
maximise the benefit of the audit and have the opportunity to implement corrective actions
when the function is being carried out.

Page 28 of 48


6.1 HS&E Actions

HS&E actions, identified and recorded as a result of Accident/Incident Report, HS&E
Management System/Project HS&E Plan Audit or a HS&E inspections will be constantly
monitored to ensure they are completed.

A realistic target date will be set to complete actions and the person nominated to
complete the action will report back to the Project HS&E Adviser. A copy of the report will
be maintained in the Central Health, Safety & Environmental Department.

AMEC, through continuous analysis of site inspections, audits and accident/incident
reports will identify trends for which corrective action can be established and implemented
in order to prevent future accidents/incidents.

The AMEC reporting procedure will provide the basis for monitoring HS&E performance
and the assessment of improvement measures. Every effort will be made to encourage
the reporting of near miss incidents and property damage as a significant contributing
factor to a pro-active HS&E program.

Apart from the review and action raising processes by the site management teams the
overall BMT will actively monitor HS&E performance.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
POLICY

Identify any such interface between activities
and environment for the complete lifecycle of
facilities and operations.



Each phase of activity shall undergo an
assessment to determine all the
environmental impacts associated with
it. A significance evaluation is then
carried out to determine those with the
highest impact. Refer to APEL-EMP-01.

Enhance positive effects and prevent
intolerable impacts from occurring.



Significant impacts are included within
a Management Programme, ensuring
that targets are set for continuous
improvement.

Limit the nature and extent of any residual
negative impacts, however caused, such that
they are as low as practicable.




Impacts of medium and low
significance are monitored as part of a
programme to ensure that their impact
does not increase.
Consult relevant stakeholders.

All relevant stakeholders are consulted.

Leave the environment at the end of the
useful life of any operation in a condition
suitable for future use.

can be re-used by other interested parties.




Whenever practicable, equipment is
retained and refurbished for further
use, for example computer equipment.
PRODUCED WATER
POLICY

Dispose of produced water in an
environmentally acceptable manner.



All emissions to water are with the prior
knowledge and consent of the
Environment Agency.

Prevent the disposal of produced water into
inshore waters.

YES NO N/A COMMENTS
Not dispose to sea Oil-based Mud during
drilling, but will return such wastes to shore
for proper recycling or disposal.







Manage and dispose all wastes in line with
relevant regulatory requirements and
environmentally responsible manner.



All AMEC produced waste is handled,
segregated and stored in an appropriate
manner. The waste is disposed of in
accordance with our Duty of Care, using
licensed waste management companies
and disposal sites.

Track and maintain records of the full life
cycle of waste streams and provide an
auditable trail as to its management and
disposal.



A clear auditable trail can be shown
from Duty of Care licenses through to
waste transfer and consignment notes.
Audits are also carried out upon the
Waste Disposal Companies.

POLICY ON THE USE OF CHEMICALS
Use chemicals only where operationally
necessary.

Refer to APEL Environmental Policy.
Consider HSE aspects of all chemicals
together with their commercial and process
performance attributes and consideration of
safer alternatives, before selecting and
deploying them for use.




Chemicals are only used where
necessary and where practicable,
alternatives with less environmental
impact are used.
Store, transport, and dispose of all chemicals
in accordance with statutory requirements.



All chemicals are stored, transported
and disposed of in accordance with
statutory requirements. Refer to APEL-
SP-016.

Eliminate Halons and CFCs from operations
and prevent losses from existing stocks.



Halons and CFCs shall, where used, be
phased out in accordance with the
regulations governing substances that
deplete the ozone layer.

Not accept any new chemicals from a supplier
without the appropriate Material HSE Data
Sheet (MDS).



MSDS are required for all chemicals in
use. The MSDS are retained and
updated when necessary. Refer to
APEL-SP-016.

Page 45 of 48

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

YES NO N/A COMMENTS
Specifically train all chemical handlers and
emergency response staff in the safe handling
of chemicals.



All necessary training is provided to
ensure the safe and correct handling of
chemicals.

GAS FLARING POLICY
Ensure that all projects and activities avoid
routine flaring as a means to dispose
associated gas and similarly, require
operators to do the same in other acreage
with SNEPCO interest.




Routine flaring of associated gas is
avoided. For example, the Shearwater
Environmental Discharge Objective for
flaring is to restrict flare gas emissions
to 0.3% boe.

Keep flaring to a minimum during production
tests, commissioning, start-ups and
operational upsets.



Flaring in these situations is minimised,
as on the Shearwater project where
onshore commissioning was maximised
using LNG as the fuel gas, the use of
Bacton pipeline gas and recycle mode
for offshore start-up, and the control of
WOBBE onshore by nitrogen injection,
allowing off spec gas to be potentially
exported and the WOBBE to be
corrected onshore rather than having to
by flare it offshore.

POLICY ON USE OF HALON FIRE
EXTINGUISHING SYSTEMS

SNEPCO is aware of potential impact of its
activities on the environment and the people
living in its area of operations.



AMEC are also aware of potential
impact of its activities on the
environment and people. APELs HS&E
Policies, HS&E Management System
and procedures are in place to protect
both the environment and people.
The use of portable and fixed Halon fire
extinguishers systems remain prohibited in
SNEPCO operations as a result of its ozone
depletion potential.



AMEC do not use halon fire
extinguisher systems due to their
damaging effect on the ozone layer.
This policy shall be applicable to all SNEPCO
locations and our contractors shall comply
with it. It is the responsibility of every
contract supervisor therefore, to ensure that
no Contractor deploys any Halon based fire
extinguishing or suppressing medium.






Refer to comment above.
POLICY ON SPILLS
Clean up all hydrocarbon and chemical spills
emanating from the Companys operations in
a timely and efficient manner.



Any spillage that may occur is
responded to rapidly to ensure minimal
environmental impact. The response is
effective due to defined procedure and
adequate training. Refer to APEL-EMP-
06 for typical example.




Page 46 of 48

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICIES

YES NO N/A COMMENTS
Draw up contingency plans and provide
resources for prevention and timely response
to spills.



Spill response kits are made available
throughout each area of operation as
appropriate, in order to bring about a
timely response. However, the
occurrence of spills is minimised by
control measures and procedural
control.

Effect clean up where the cause of the spill or
the party responsible is unknown and in
situations where SNEPCO is not liable, but
public opinion may tarnish the companys
image.




Wherever possible, AMEC shall always
assist in situations where there is
potential for environmental harm, and
when necessary, would liase with the
appropriate organisations to effect a
clean up response.
