  • WORKSITE Specific HSSE Standards – (Exhibit C to Section IV – HSSE Requirements)

EXHIBIT A – BP OPERATING MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (OMS)

Appendix 1 – bp operating management system (OMS)OMS is a comprehensive operating management system that integrates and improves existing management systems. It provides the framework to achieve safe and reliable operations day-in and day-out. OMS helps manage every element of operating, from basic compliance to excellence in performance.
In the short term, OMS helps BP meet the minimum requirements set by the law, BP Group and E&P Segment. In the longer term, effective OMS implementation will position BP to take and maintain the lead in operating excellence while building a supporting culture that learns and drives continuouss improvement.
 
Every site and business within BP E&P already uses a management system to set priorities and manage risk. The OMS Framework, illustrated in Figure 1, functions by applying the Performance Improvement Cycle (PIC) to local business processes. These processes deliver the outcomes defined in the BP Group Essentials, categorized within the Elements of Operating. In turn, assessments against the Group Essentials inform the risk assessment and prioritization step of the PIC. 
 
Local Business Processes
Each business defines a local OMS which describes how it delivers operating activities. The LOMS is developed, implemented and sustained locally. The local OMS translates business needs, relevant legal and regulatory requirements and OMS requirements into practical plans to reduce risk and deliver safe, sustainable performance.
 
Elements of Operating and Gap Assessment
The Elements of Operating describe eight dimensions of how people, process, plant and performance operate within BP.  Each of the eight interdependent Elements of Operating is divided into sub-elements (Figure 2), which need to be selectively and systematically managed to improve performance. Group and Segment Essentials corresponding to the sub-elements outline specific requirements covering risk mitigation, legal and regulatory compliance and conformance with BP requirements. A gap assessment against the Essentials is a necessary part of the risk assessment and prioritization step of the PIC.

CONTRACTOR SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY

 

 

BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC (“COMPANY”) has a strong commitment to provide a safe work place for its employees and other persons working or visiting on its premises.  In order to assist in maintaining a safe working environment and to protect COMPANY property, this policy concerning substance abuse is established.

 

Contractors, who perform services on COMPANY's premises, must have and administer a formal substance abuse policy.  Policies for Contractors and Sub-contractors must include substance testing of Contractors' employees entering COMPANY premises.

 

The failure of a Contractor to comply with the provisions of this policy constitutes cause for termination of contract.

 

SECTION I-POLICY STATEMENT

 

The use, sale, possession, distribution or promotion of Prohibited Substances, as defined later herein, is strictly prohibited on COMPANY's premises, including all property owned, operated, leased by, or under the control of COMPANY.  Additionally,  Contractors' employees shall be in breach of this policy if a Prohibited Substance is determined by testing to be present in their body system at or above the levels set out in this policy at section B.4 of Section II and shall be prohibited from COMPANY's premises.

 

The Manager, Security in consultation with a COMPANY designated physician, reserves the right to make the final determination on any question concerning substances that fall within the meaning of a Prohibited Substance as used in this policy.

 

Contractors shall submit a copy of their policy and program to the Manager, Security.  Such policy must provide for Substance Testing, as defined herein, of employees and must meet the minimum standards as set forth in Section II below.  COMPANY's Management reserves the right to withhold solicitation of bids or to deny entry to COMPANY's premises of any Contractor who fails to present a written policy that meets COMPANY's minimum standards, or who fails to administer an acceptable policy.

 

A violation of this policy will subject the offending Contractor's employee to denial of entry to COMPANY's premises and projects.  Reinstatement of the access privilege may be made only after a  minimum of ninety (90) days after starting a chemical dependency program at a recognised institution and upon request of the employing Contractor.  A request may be granted only upon receipt of a certificate in the from of Appendix I Form 1 certifying that the Contractor’s employee has begun a chemical dependency programme and has started the out-patient portion of the programme since testing positive and has successfully passed a substance screen within 30 days of the request.  The above mentioned certificate must be issued by a rehabilitation centre which meets all of the minimum standards listed in Section II B 8 of this policy.

 


SECTION II - TESTING

 

A.   DEFINITIONS

 

For the purpose of this policy:

 

1.   "Substance Testing" means the analysis of urine and blood specimens for the presence of Prohibited Substances.  However, at times circumstances may warrant additional testing methods.

 

2.   "Contractor" includes Subcontractor, Independent Contractor and Vendor

 

3.   "Chain of Custody" means that combination of procedures and documentation which provides a faithful and accurate written record of the process of chain of custody transfer of a biological specimen from the time of initial collection of a specimen up to the time of final testing.

 

4.   "Witnessed Collection" means the collection of a specimen which is voided in the presence of another person whose positioning is discreet but sufficiently present to minimize attempts at substitution or contamination of that specimen.

 

5.   "Negative test result" means a laboratory conclusion that the presence of a substance was not detected in a specimen at or above the levels set out in Section B.4 of this Section II.

 

6.   "Presumptive Positive Result" means a laboratory conclusion that a specimen was found to contain the presence of a substance based on one or more analytical procedures which did not include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

 

7.   "Confirmed Positive Result" means a laboratory conclusion that a specimen was found to contain the presence of a substance based on two or more analytical procedures which did include gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS).

 

8.   "Prohibited Substance" or "Prohibited Substances" means (a) any alcoholic beverage (b) any substance which an individual may not sell, possess, use, or distribute under the laws of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (c) any other legal, but unlawfully used substance.


B.   LABORATORY SPECIMEN COLLECTION AND REHABILITATION CENTRE/INSTITUTION STANDARDS

 

The following laboratory standards apply:

 

1.      Contractors shall take all necessary precautions, up to and including Witnessed Collection of the specimen, to ensure that substitutes or contaminated specimens are not submitted for testing.

 

2.      Contractors must use a laboratory which is capable of carrying out the substance tests in a consistent and professional manner.

 

3.      Chain of Custody procedures must be strictly adhered to.

 

4.      Contractors should establish confirmation levels no greater than those specified below.

5.      The specimens of applicants and current employees will be tested using an enzyme immunoassay (such as EMIT) and/or a radio immunoassay.  In this form of testing, a positive finding is called a Presumptive Positive Result.  All Presumptive Positives Results will be further tested using GC/MS.  In this  form of testing, a positive finding is called a Confirmed Positive Result.

 

6.      A blood alcohol test is considered positive (for the purpose of the policy) if the alcohol level is confirmed to be at or above .02% by volume.  This test must be run by a laboratory qualified to perform blood analysis work.

 

7.   A list of suggested laboratories, licensed physicians and rehabilitation centers which may be used for the collection and testing of specimens and the treatment and rehabilitation of Contractor Employees (who test positive) is contained in Appendix II of this policy.  COMPANY assumes no responsibility or liability for the ultimate choice of laboratory or physician and it shall be the sole obligation of the Contractor to ensure that the physician or laboratory utilized meets the standards and requirements of this policy.

C.       CONFIDENTIALITY

 

When a Contractor conducts drug testing of its employees for the purpose of establishing eligibility to enter COMPANY's premises, such substance testing results which are positive will not be disclosed to COMPANY.  COMPANY will require, however, that Contractors certify that each employee assigned to work on COMPANY's premises has passed a substance test that meets the standards of this policy.  Contractors must maintain records of Prohibited Substance tests including the names of employees who are tested, the date of the test and the result of the test  which are subject to audit by COMPANY (See Section IV and VI).

 

The results of Prohibited Substance tests performed for cause or accident/incident investigations as outlined below must be disclosed to COMPANY management upon request.

 

D.         TESTING

 

1.      Contractors will conduct Substance Testing in these situations:

 

a)      Before a Contractor's employee enters COMPANY's premises for the first time or where a Contractor's employee is regaining access after an absence in excess of 90 days.  This requirement may be waived by COMPANY's management in appropriate circumstances.

 

b)     A continuously employed contract worker must be tested for Prohibited Substances at least once every 12 months with no more than 24 hours notice prior to testing.  The various other situations that require testing will not satisfy this requirement.

 

c)      Where COMPANY or the Contractor reasonably suspects or has cause to believe that a Contractor employee on COMPANY's premises is under the influence of or has consumed any substance prohibited by this policy or has been charged with or convicted of a drug related offense.

 

d)     When required by COMPANY's management, immediately following any accident or dangerous occurrence including a recordable bodily injury, fatality or damage to COMPANY or Contractor-owned property.

 

2.      COMPANY will recognize a Prohibited Substance test conducted on a Contractor employee while that employee worked for a another Contractor provided that (1) the test was conducted within the 90-day period required by this policy;  (2) the laboratory and sampling procedures meet the standards set forth in this policy.

 

3.      Contractors will assume all costs associated with testing.

 

4.      The refusal of a Contractor's employee to sign a consent form or submit to any testing will result in revocation of that person's access privileges.


E.     EXCEPTIONS

 

  The following exceptions may be granted at the discretion of COMPANY's Management:

 

1.      Contractors and Contractors' employees who are contracted or hired on short notice may be permitted to begin work with the concurrence of the Department Head responsible for the work in, consultation with the Manager Security; pending receipt of the results of pre-access substance testing.  This permission will not extend beyond ten (10) calendar days from the first date after work starts by the Contractor.

 

Any person working under this provision must be removed from the work site immediately upon receipt of a positive test result, or at the end of ten (10) calendar days if test results have not been reported.

 

This provision is to allow work to begin in emergency or short notice situations only.  Testing must be done as soon as reasonably feasible and results must be available within the ten (10) calendar days allotted.  This provision covers only employees needed for initial staffing and does not extend to those hired with sufficient time for pre-access testing.

 

2.      Contractors whose need for site access is infrequent or whose presence poses a minimal safety risk may be exempted by the relevant Department Head in consultation with the Manager, Security from pre-access substance testing.

 

SECTION III - SEARCHES AND INSPECTIONS

 

COMPANY reserves the right at all times to conduct unannounced Substance Tests, searches and inspections of Contractors, Contractors' employees and other persons on its premises.  Searches and inspections may include but are not limited to their personal effects, lockers, baggage, tool boxes, clothing and vehicles.  The purpose of such tests, searches and inspections is to ensure compliance with this policy.

 

Any substances or items prohibited by this policy, or any materials, the possession of which is illegal, which are found during searches and inspections will be confiscated by COMPANY and may be destroyed or turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency.

 

The refusal of a Contractor's employee to submit to a test, search or inspection will result in the revocation of that person's access privileges.

 

SECTION IV- COMPLIANCE AUDITS

 

COMPANY reserves the right to periodically audit a Contractor's records to the extent necessary to verify compliance with this policy in so far as it relates to Contractor employees deployed in COMPANY's operations.  Such verification will include, but is not limited to:

 

1.      Examination of the Contractor's substance abuse policy and its implementing directives and procedures.

 

2.      A determination that Prohibited Substance testing is being conducted in those situations which require it and that the testing meets the standards of this policy.

 

3.      Examination of Chain of Custody procedures which ensure integrity of collected specimens.

 

4.      Evaluation of laboratory services.

 

Audit results will be treated as confidential so as to protect the privacy of tested persons.

 

 

 

 

SECTION V - SUBCONTRACTORS

 

In all cases where a Contractor is permitted to employ a Subcontractor, the Contractor is responsible for insuring that the Subcontractor and Subcontractor's employees are in compliance with this policy.  Contracts between Contractors and Subcontractors must stipulate that COMPANY reserves the right to audit Subcontractors substance abuse programs.

 

SECTION VI - CONSENT FORMS

 

The Contractor must obtain a signed consent demonstrating each employee's agreement to be tested for substance abuse and to release to Contractor and COMPANY the results of any Substance Tests performed.

 

COMPANY will look at substance test results only during occasional compliance audits as described in Section IV, or when testing is required by COMPANY as described in Section II.

 

SECTION VII - NOTICE

 

The Contractor must ensure that all of its employees and all employees of its Subcontractors are informed of the provisions of COMPANY's Contractor Substance Abuse Policy and of the Contractor's own Substance Abuse Policy.  Notice will include the consequences of failure to comply and such notice should be given prior to entering COMPANY premises.

 

SECTION VIII - CONCLUSION

 

Consideration for work on COMPANY's premises will be conditioned upon implementation by the Contractor of a policy that, in COMPANY's sole judgment, conforms to the minimum standards expressed in this policy. Program development and implementation are the responsibility of the Contractor.  The central goal of this policy is to provide a safe and efficient working environment for all persons on COMPANY's premises.  Cooperation is vitally important to the achievement of this important goal.

HEARING CONSERVATION PROGRAMME

 

 

BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC’s (“COMPANY”) Hearing Conservation Programme is aimed at protecting all personnel who work for or at COMPANY’s premises from exposure to high levels of occupational noise.

 

COMPANY has had an ongoing programme geared towards sensitizing all personnel, whether employees or Contractors personnel, to the areas of its operations considered to be high level noise areas and to the need for and use of appropriate hearing protection.

 

COMPANY requires of Contractor and its employees the same adherence to COMPANY's guidelines and policy relating to the wearing of hearing protective devices as it does of its employees.  In this regard COMPANY has indicated by the use of warning signs and the like on all of its property and facilities the areas where it is mandatory that appropriate hearing protection be used.   In addition COMPANY recommends that its Contractors consider expanding their programmes to include audiometric testing and evaluation of their employees.  Should you wish to discuss any aspect of BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC's Hearing Conservation Programme, you may do so with our Safety Department at Galeota Point.

 

We expect you to inform your employees of our guidelines listed below as they apply to them and further expect each Contractor's full co-operation in enforcing those guidelines.

 

1.   Contractor must protect its employees from occupational noise exposure.

 

2.   Contractor's employees who enter areas where levels are 85 DBA or greater must wear prescribed hearing protection regardless of the length of time spent there.

 

3.   Contractor's employees must also wear prescribed hearing protection when working on a job activity that   requires exposure to suspected elevated noise levels which have not been measured and the job is not a recurring one (temporary use of the air hammer, explosive guns, generator tests, etc.).

EXHIBIT 5

 

NON-HARASSMENT POLICY

 

BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC (“COMPANY”) has a strong commitment to provide a working environment for all employees that is free of harassment of any kind.  Consistent with this objective, a Non-Harassment Policy has been formalized.  It is against COMPANY policy for any of our employees, and non-employees on COMPANY 's premises, to harass any COMPANY’s employee or non-employee on the basis of race, creed, sex, sexual orientation or disability.

 

Personnel at all levels of the COMPANY have the responsibility to avoid any act or actions, implied or explicit, that may suggest harassment in any form.

 

Sexual harassment by employees and non-employees is also prohibited.  Sexual harassment is defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature and will be considered harassment when:

 

A.         Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term of condition of an individual's employment.

 

 B.        Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual, or

 

C.         Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment.

 

COMPANY is committed to a work environment free of harassment and will strictly enforce these guidelines.   Harassing conduct will result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge and/or other appropriate action.   Any person who believes that harassment has occurred should immediately notify his/her supervisor or the appropriate Human Resources personnel.  Any supervisor or manager who receives a complaint alleging harassment must follow the established complaint procedure.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


EXHIBIT 6

 

Fire Resistant Clothing Programme

 

 

In accordance with BP Trinidad and Tobago LLC’s (“COMPANY”) Standard of Care, all personnel working at COMPANY controlled sites who have foreseeable exposure to flashburn injuries due to the characteristics of their working environment, are required to wear Fire Resistant Clothing.

 

All contractors are expected to comply with the requirements, as outlined below.

 

Please note that these requirements fall within the minimum requirements and expectations referred to in Exhibit 2 (Contractor Safety, Health and Environmental Policy) to the Agreement between our respective companies.

 

PERFORMANCE REQUIREMENTS

 

Objective:

The objective of these performance requirements is to provide an added degree of protection to personnel working at COMPANY controlled sites who have foreseeable exposure to flash burn injuries due to the characteristics of their working environment by requiring the proper wearing of fire resistant clothing/coveralls.

 

NOTE:  COMPANY controlled sites are Galeota Point area, as well as all offshore platforms and rigs.

 

Scope:

These performance requirements apply to all personnel, including contractors working at COMPANY controlled sites.

 

It is recognized that full, orderly implementation may require that this be accomplished in phases.  In such cases, first priority for implementation of these performance requirements should be given to formulation, start-up, and debugging of fire resistant clothing programmes for COMPANY employees with foreseeable exposure.

 

Standard Type:

These Fire Resistant Clothing (FRC) Programme performance requirements shall be performance requirements for all COMPANY controlled sites.  In addition, the attached HSE Practice No. 1 - PPE is provided to describe the standard of FRC required. 

 

Programme Elements:

Every COMPANY work location shall adhere to the following minimum performance requirements:

 

Each operating section/department shall review its operations and identify all jobs and/or areas with foreseeable exposure to flash burn injuries due to the characteristics of the work environment.  Factors to consider in making such evaluations include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

1.  Characteristics of material if released from containment.

2.  Area affected by such release.

3.  Likelihood of personnel exposure if such release occurs.

Personnel who perform jobs or enter areas with foreseeable exposure to flash burn injuries shall be required to wear fire resistant clothing which provides full body protection.  Full body protection is defined as coveralls, with sleeves extending to cover the wrists and trouser legs extending to cover the ankles.

 

Note: This applies to visitors as well.

 

At a minimum, fire resistant clothing shall be of a standard described in HSE Practice No. 1. Where other hazard exists, such as corrosive or toxic materials, appropriate personal protective equipment should be worn over the fire resistant clothing/coveralls.

 

Proper Wearing:

Personnel shall be required to wear fire resistant clothing/coveralls properly, i.e. with the sleeves rolled down and fastened at the wrist; with the front closure buttoned, snapped or zipped to the throat.  Legs must be kept rolled down to the ankle.

 

Fire resistant clothing/coveralls shall not be modified by the addition of decals or other decorations that could degrade the fire resistant characteristics of the clothing or by cutting off sleeves or legs or cutting additional opening other than those provided by the manufacturer of the clothing/coveralls.

 

Maintenance:

Fire resistant clothing/coveralls shall be kept in good repair, reasonably clean, and free of flammable or combustible materials that could degrade the fire resistant characteristics of the clothing/coveralls.

 

Training:

Personnel shall be educated regarding the capabilities and limitations of any fire resistant clothing that they are required to wear.  In addition, personnel should be made aware that their normal, non-fire resistant clothing can possibly increase the extent of burn injuries due to the tendency of many fabrics to continue to burn after the source of heat is removed and/or to melt and adhere to the skin.

 

Areas requiring Fire Resistant Clothing (FRC):

It is mandatory to wear FRC on ALL offshore platforms, including   Drilling Rigs and in the Tank Farm and Process Areas of the Galeota Terminal.  The listed remaining areas onshore at Galeota Point will require the wearing of FRC based on specific job functions as identified by Department Heads/Managers.
