Summary This HSE document is prepared by Shell International Exploration and Production B.V. (SIEP), The Hague as a service under arrangements in existence with companies of the Royal Dutch/Shell Group. It refers to Group standards and provides guidance for the management of Health, Safety and Environmental issues in Shell operations. The EP Business HSE Control Framework replaces the previous EP HSE Manual EP95-0000. The Framework comprises three volumes, each including a number of separate sections. The replacement of the separate sections is being phased during the period 2004-2005, during this time those EP95000 sections that have not be replaced by their EP2005-0000 equivalent will remain valid. The Framework describes the elements necessary to develop, implement and maintain an HSE management System for Exploration and Production activities and describes the tools and techniques available to do this. In line with the Shell strategy to adopt Industry or International Standards wherever possible, the HSE Management System in this Framework has been based on the guidelines prepared by the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (OGP).

STANDARD: CONTRACTOR HSE MANAGEMENT This HSE document may set requirements supplemental to applicable law. However, nothing herein is intended to replace, amend, supersede or otherwise depart from any applicable law relating to the subject matter of this HSE document. In the event of any conflict or contradiction between the provisions of this HSE document and applicable law as to the implementation and governance of this HSE document, the provisions of applicable law shall prevail. This HSE document shall be subject to formal adoption as specified in EP Standard ‘HSE Control Documentation Management’ [9].
0. Revision Information • Amended EP Procedure ‘Contractor HSE Management (including stoplight)’; • Introduced new EP Specification ‘Contract Holder and CSR HSSE Competences’; • Removed EP Specification ‘HSE Contract Modes’*1.
1. Introduction Contracted work accounts for 70-75% of EP’s total exposure hours and much of it involves High HSE Risk hence working with contractors and early planning are essential to improve HSE at the workplace. This Standard is aligned with EP.13 ‘Manage Supply Chain – Global Category Management’ [25] of the EP Business Model (EPBM) and draws heavily on the Oil and Gas Producers Association (OGP) document ‘HSE Management – Guideline for working together in a contract environment’ [22].
2. Scope and Application This Standard and the associated controlling documents set the HSE requirements for contracting in the EP Business and apply to Global and Regional framework arrangements and individual contracts. Italicised terms within this Standard are defined EP Specification ‘EP2005 HSE Glossary of Definitions’ [7].
3. EP Policy • Requires contractors to manage HSE in line with the EP HSE Policy [21]. • Management controls shall be appropriate for the level of risk, the organisational relationship
with the contractor and the capabilities of the contractor.
4. EP Standard Compliance with this Standard shall be achieved by implementing EP Procedure ‘Contractor HSE Management (including stoplight)’ [3]. The activity responsibility matrix of this Procedure is shown in [App. 1].
4.1 Key Roles and Responsibilities The following Supply Chain Management (SCM) roles, defined in [25], have HSE-specific responsibilities see [App. 2] under this Standard and associated controlling documents: 1 The content of the Specification has been integrated into Task 2 of EP Procedure ’Contractor HSE Management (inc. Stoplight) [3].

4.2 Planning: Assess HSE Risks and Contractor Capability Contract HSE Risk Each contract shall be categorised as Low HSE Risk, Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk depending on the highest risk inherent in the contract scope determined using the Group (YG) ‘Risk Assessment Matrix’ (RAM) [24, §2.1]. To minimise effort and to ensure consistency reference shall be made to the relevant hazard & environmental aspects registers of the EP Company and other HSE risk assessments maintained at the SCM category level or by industry (e.g. OGP). Contract Mode Accountability for HSE management shall be clearly defined between the EP Company and the contractor and between the contractor and their subcontractors for the duration of the contract or individual phases of the contract. On the basis of these accountabilities contracts and subcontracts shall be categorised as Mode 1, Mode 2 or Mode 3: Mode 1 contracts: ‘The contractor provides people and tools for the execution of the work under the supervision, instructions and HSE Management System of the company. The contractor has a Management System to provide assurance that the personnel for whom he is responsible are qualified and healthy for the job and that the tools and machinery he is providing are properly maintained and suitable for the job’2. Mode 2 contracts: ‘The contractor executes all aspects of the job under its own HSE Management System, provides the necessary instructions and supervision and verifies the proper functioning of its HSE Management System. The company is responsible for verifying the overall effectiveness of the HSE management controls put in place by the contractor, and assuring that both the company’s and the contractor’s HSE-MS are appropriately compatible’2. Mode 3 contracts: Contractor operates within its own HSE MS that has no interfaces with the EP Company HSE MS and is not required to report HSE performance data including incidents to EP. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the EP Company may wish to guide and influence HSE performance under the contract. Appointment of Contract Holders
The task of being a CH of Mode 1 and Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk and High HSE Risk contracts is deemed to be an HSE critical task and hence subject to the requirements of EP Specification ‘Contract Holder and CSR HSSE Competences’ [1].
Contract HSE Clauses HSE clauses for each contract shall be selected, with advice from SCM and the relevant HSE Adviser, to suit the: • Type of activity; 2Definition from OGP HSE Management – ‘Guideline for working together in a contract environment [22]’

• Contract-specific HSE risks; • Contract mode. Contractor Capability Assessment An HSE capability assessment shall be made of all contractors considered for Mode 1 or Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk contracts to assess their ability to manage the HSE risks associated with the contract work scope. The HSE capability assessment shall be based on: • A standardised HSE capability questionnaire; • Past HSE performance (completeness and effectiveness of their HSE MS implementation
using previous performance closeout reports and historical HSE incident statistics); • On-site audits (if deemed required). On the basis of this HSE capability assessment contractors shall be categorised into three ‘stoplight’ bands (green, amber and red, reflecting reducing HSE management capabilities) for use in selection of eligible contractors to bid and during bid evaluation. The HSE Capability Assessment is not required for: • Mode 1 or Mode 2 Low HSE Risk contracts. However, contractors’ ability to manage the
HSE risks associated with the contract work scope and their historical HSE performance shall be evaluated and deemed acceptable;
• Mode 3 (Low/Medium/High HSE Risk).
Tendering/Bidding or Negotiating and Award of Contract The banding of a contractor in the red ‘stoplight’ band implies an HSE management capability below EP Company requirements and hence a red-banded contractor shall not be invited to tender/bid or enter into negotiations or be awarded a contract if an amber or green-banded contractor is available on the short list. Any deviations to this rule shall be authorised by the relevant Tender Board.
4.3 Execution: Manage Contract Contract HSE Plans For all Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts a Contract HSE Plan shall be approved by the EP Company before contracted work is started. The plan shall indicate those pre-start-up activities, which must be completed before contracted work may start. These activities shall include communicating the requirements of the Contract HSE Plan to the relevant responsible parties. Contract HSE Plans shall document the level of HSE risk inherent in the contract scope: • For Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk and Mode 2 High HSE Risk contracts the Contract HSE Plan,
using the check list in [5], shall: o Provide a demonstration that the HSE risks of the contract hazards and effects are
identified and reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) in accordance with EP Standard ‘ Hazards and Effects Management System (HEMP)’[10]; and
o Include the contract specific HSE objectives in line with the phasing of the contract; • For Mode 1 (Low, Medium or High HSE Risk) and Mode 2 Low HSE Risk contracts the
Contract HSE Plan shall document how the HSE risks of the contract scope will be managed in accordance with [6].
Pre-mobilisation and Mobilisation Activities For all Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts completion of pre-start-up activities in the Contract HSE Plan shall be verified prior to commencement of work and a kick-off meeting shall be held. Pre-job inspections shall be held for all Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts, which are Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk. Start-up HSE audits may be required depending on the contract size and complexity.

Monitoring Effective Implementation of the Contract HSE Plan For all Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts the effectiveness of implementation of the Contract HSE Plan shall be monitored during project execution to verify compliance and identify risk changes. Incident Reporting Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts: Incidents during work shall be classified as ‘Work Related’ as defined by the Group (YG) ‘Incident Classification, Investigation and Reporting’ [23]. Mode 3 Contracts Under this classification, contractors’ exposure hours and HSE incidents shall not be reported to EP/Group. However, any incidents involving contractor personnel working under Mode 3 contracts at EP Company assets or on EP Company sites and on business trips and field visits shall be classified as ‘Work Related’ under [23].
4.4 Analyse/Improve Contractor HSE performance for Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts shall be analysed and opportunities for improvement identified, implemented and verified by a combination of activities at both the contract and at the SCM category levels as follows: Contract Level • For Medium HSE Risk and High HSE Risk contracts the contractor’s HSE performance shall
be documented and face-to-face review meetings with the Contractor Representative should be held periodically and/or during the contract closeout phase;
• The HSE performance of contracts irrespective of risk level shall be entered into the relevant contractor databases and/or vendor rating systems.
Category Level • The banding of the active contractor list shall be updated annually and reviewed for HSE
improvement opportunities; • Improvements to the contractor’s HSE MS, which have been identified by the contractor or
the EP Company, shall be reviewed by the GCM/RFP/CFP. The closeout of these improvements shall be monitored in the relevant contracts.
5. Key Performance Indicators • Contractor HSE performance; • Banding profile information (e.g. number of red banded contractors).

Planning Task 1: Assess and analyse HSE risks
Categorise each contract as Low HSE Risk, Medium HSE Risk or
High HSE Risk corresponding to the highest risk inherent in the contract scope as follows:
1. Identify all Hazards associated with activities in the contract work scope, covering but not limited to the following: • Nature of the work - work methods, staffing, materials,
equipment, tools to be used and associated hazards e.g. lifting, working at heights, transport, etc;
• Nature of the product or service i.e. is the contractor required to perform an HSE critical activity (such as the design HSE-critical equipment) as opposed to a hazardous activity (such as working at height);
• Location of the work - vicinity of shops, schools, hospitals, offices, houses; environmentally sensitive locations (beaches, coral reefs, fishing areas, etc), and associated hazards e.g. H2S, asbestos, chemicals and heat;
• Local constraints; • Number of concurrent operations or contractors on site; • Potential consequences – environmental harm, injury,
illness, asset damage, impact on local societal sensitivities, reputation with Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO) or Governments, etc.
To minimise the assessment effort and to ensure consistency assessors shall refer to the relevant hazards & environmental aspects registers of the EP Company, the EP Standard ‘Hazards and Effects Management Process’ (HEMP) [11] and other HSE risk assessments maintained at the SCM Category level or by industry (e.g. OGP).
2. Assess the HSE risk of each Hazard using the Group (YG) ‘Risk Assessment Matrix’ (RAM) [23, §2.1].
3. Document the HSE risk assessment. Task 2: Categorise mode of contract Categorise the contract as Mode1, Mode 2 or Mode 3: Mode 1 contract: ‘The contractor provides people and tools for the execution of the work under the supervision, instructions and HSE Management System of the company. The contractor has a Management System to provide assurance that the personnel for whom he is responsible are qualified and healthy for the job and that the tools and machinery he is providing are properly maintained and suitable for the job’2. Mode 2 contract: ‘The contractor executes all aspects of the job under its own HSE Management System, provides the necessary instructions and supervision and verifies the proper functioning of its HSE Management System. The company is responsible for verifying the overall effectiveness of the HSE management controls put in place by the contractor, and assuring that both the company’s and the contractor’s HSE-MS are appropriately compatible’2.

Mode 3 contract: Contractor operates within its own HSE MS that has no interfaces with the EP Company HSE MS and is not required to report HSE performance data including incidents to EP. However, this does not exclude the possibility that the EP Company may wish to guide and influence HSE performance under the contract. The HSE contract mode is assigned as follows: • Determine whether each activity within the contract scope is a
Work Related Activity as defined by the Group (YG) ‘Incident Classification, Investigation and Reporting’ [24, § 2.1];
• For those Work Related Activities select the accountability for HSE management by assigning them as either Mode 1 or Mode;
• Assign those activities, which are not Work Related as Mode 3; • Assign a contract mode based on the aggregated modes
assigned to the activities in the contract scope taking into account the numbers and significance of those activities and their HSE risks;
• In mixed mode contracts identify and document those elements with a mode different from the overall contract mode.
Subcontracts shall also be assigned a mode, in which case the contractor who subcontracts one or more of the scope elements is responsible for assigning the mode to each subcontract according to this Task. Task 3: Verify Contract Holder’s competence For Mode 1 or Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk contracts verify the Contract Holder’s (CH) competence according to EP Specification ‘Contract Holder and CSR HSSE Competences’ [2] and their ability to execute their assigned tasks in this Procedure. Task 4: Select contract HSE clauses Select HSE contract clauses based on: • Output from Task 1 (HSE risks of work activities); and • Output from Task 2 (mode of contract). Refer to SCM/C&P staff and consult with the relevant HSE Adviser (EP/Dir/Reg/OpCo) for guidance on the formulation of activity specific clauses and technical requirements. Task 5: Identify eligible contractors Prepare a list of eligible contractors: • List eligible contractors on the basis of historical experience or
expert judgment or as directed by JV agreements or local regulation;
• Mode 1 or Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk contracts - Eligible contractors who have not had their HSE capability assessed within the last three years and who wish to be considered shall complete and submit the questionnaire in EP Tool ‘Contractor HSE Capability Questionnaire’ [4];
• Mode 1 or Mode 2 Low HSE Risk contracts - Eligible contractors’ ability to manage the HSE risks associated with the contract work scope and their historical HSE performance shall be evaluated and deemed acceptable. However they are exempt from the HSE capability assessment (see Tasks 6 - 9); the next relevant task for them is Task 10. This exemption may also be applied at the discretion of the Contract Owner (CO) to Medium

HSE Risk contracts which are Mode 1 and have a restricted scope of work (e.g. one or two person welding job or a one week painting job using scaffolding);
• Mode 3 (L/M/H HSE Risk) contracts - Eligible contractors are exempt from the HSE capability assessment. The remaining Tasks 6 -18 are not required.
Task 6: Evaluate HSE capability questionnaire Evaluate contractors’ ‘HSE Capability Questionnaire’ [4] and associated supporting documents. Task 7: Evaluate historical HSE performance • Evaluate the contractors’ HSE performance in previous work for
EP Companies. Verify answers given in contractors’ HSE capability questionnaire returns where possible, using information from previous audit reports, contract closeout reports, feedback forms, RFPs, CFPs and SCM/C&P staff.
• Evaluate the contractors’ historical HSE statistics taking into account the following: o The relevance of the data to the work locations and HSE
risks of the activities within the contract scope; o The level and quality of near-miss/unsafe condition/unsafe
act reporting and other pro-active indicators being tracked and reported;
o Use 12 month rolling average data to avoid statistical anomalies;
o The severity of typical incident reportable cases [24, App. 1], total exposure hours and possible differences in performance between Corporate, Regional and Local contractor entities;
o Treat internal Shell statistics as leading benchmarks, if available. External statistics may be less specific to the EP Business than internal Shell statistics.
Task 8: Evaluate the need for/execute an HSE MS audit/review For contractors being considered for Mode 2 High HSE Risk contracts conduct an HSE MS audit/review if little recent (less than three years old) independent information held at EP/Dir/Reg/OpCo level (e.g. audit reports) is available on their HSE capabilities. It is recommended that when the contract scope is significant in terms of exposure hours or area of operations or contact with local stakeholders or impact on EP Company assets that this requirement is extended to Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk contracts. The HSE MS review/audit has three main objectives: 1. To verify the completeness and degree of implementation of the
contractor’s HSE MS and identify where to supplement the monitoring of the contractor’s work.
2. To provide the contractor with a deeper understanding of the EP Company’s HSE MS requirements.
3. To verify the contractor’s responses to the HSE Capability Questionnaire [4].
The HSE MS audits/reviews shall meet the following requirements: • Audit/review leader is nominated by the EP Company;

• Auditor(s) meet the HSE auditor competence criteria for Internal
HSE Audits as defined in EP Specification ‘HSE Auditor Competence Criteria’ [10, §4.2.3];
• The Terms of Reference (TOR) for the HSE MS audit/review are to be based on [4];
• Conducted on the contractor’s premises/sites; • Findings are discussed with the contractor and agreed
improvement actions should be included in the contractor’s HSE MS improvement plan(s);
• The relevant CHs with RFP and/or CFP and HSE Adviser support shall monitor the contractor’s follow-up of the HSE MS improvement plan. If a contractor has multiple active EP Company contracts the relevant CHs shall support this monitoring along with their routine monitoring of their specific Contract HSE Plan(s).
Task 9: Band Contractors Adjudicated scoring is a consolidation of the outputs from Tasks 6, 7 and 8. The output is a score based on EP Specification ‘Contractor HSE Capability Points System’ [3]. This is not intended to be a purely quantitative process, but one where experience is brought to bear on the contractors’ responses:
1. Based on [3] the contractors are banded on adjudicated scores for each question (based on max. points = 280). They are categorised in red (<103) points), amber (103 – 177) or green (>or equal to 178 points) bands: • Red denotes ‘capability is below Company requirements’; • Amber denotes ‘capability conditionally meets Company
requirements’; • Green denotes ‘capability unconditionally meets Company
requirements’.
2. Inform the contractors in writing of their stoplight banding.
3. Document the results of the capability assessment including any audit/reviews and record or reference in the relevant SCM contractor management database/system(s). Documentation shall include but not limited to: • Audit/review reports; • Responses to the HSE Capability Questionnaire [4] and the
results of applying the Contractor HSE Capability Points System [3];
• HSE performance data used for the capability assessment; • Stoplight band.
4. Share the results of the HSE capability assessment across EP/Dir/Reg/OpCo as this will help to leverage best practice learning and reduce effort/cost in performing contractor HSE capability assessments.
Note: Tasks 1 - 9 can be performed at the SCM category level when establishing umbrella/frame arrangements or a list of globally approved contractors. The RFP and/or CFP shall ensure that: • Umbrella/frame arrangements and/or approved contractors
maintained at the category level meet the requirements of the EP HSE standards (EP2005-0000 suite of HSE Controlling

The CFP and/or RFP shall be supported by discipline expertise at the EP/Regional level (e.g. HSE, Legal, Seismic, Wells, Projects) for the following: o Maintaining general and activity specific HSE clauses; o Performing HSE MS audits or reviews, to assess the HSE
capability of key contractors being assessed and approved at the category Global or Regional level).
If a CH plans to invite bids from a contractor on such an approved list maintained by the relevant RFP and/or CFP, Tasks 4 - 9 do not have to be repeated for their specific contract unless the contractor has not performed work for an EP Company for more than three years. Task 10: Define evaluation criteria, issue tender/bid or negotiate 1. Red-banded contractor shall not be invited to tender/bid or enter
into negotiation if amber or green-banded contractors are available on the potential bid/negotiation list. Any deviations to this rule shall be authorised by the relevant Tender Board (TB) and the justification shall be clearly documented in the TB meeting minutes.
2. Provide candidate contractors with access to the contract specific HSE requirements, including the type of Contract HSE Plan to be prepared in draft.
3. Provide candidate contractors the opportunity to assess for themselves the HSE risks of the contract scope (e.g. site visits, access to EP Companies HSE risk assessments and require them as part of their submission to document how they will manage the specific HSE risks of the contract as part of their draft Contract HSE Plan.
4. Bid evaluation models shall make provision for additional resources (e.g. supervision, training, equipment), which in the opinion of the CH are required for red and amber banded contractors to meet the HSE requirements of the contract.
5. Bid evaluation models which are based on points/weightings for the different evaluation aspects (e.g. commercial, technical, HSE) then the HSE element shall have a total contribution as follows: • High HSE Risk contracts: Not less than 30%; • Medium HSE Risk contracts: Not less then 15%; • Low HSE Risk contracts: Not less than 5%. Deviations from these percentages shall be authorised by the relevant TB and the justification shall be clearly documented in the TB meeting minutes.
Task 11: Evaluate bids/offers & select contractor for award Make the selection based on consolidation of commercial, technical, HSE and local aspects in line with [21] with the condition that a contract shall not be awarded to a red-banded contractor if an amber or green-banded contractor is available on the short list. Any deviations to this rule shall be authorised by the relevant TB and the justification shall be clearly documented in the TB meeting minutes.

Task 12: Define and approve Contract HSE Plan Execution
(not required for Mode 3 contracts)
The contractor, in conjunction with the CH, prepares a documented Contract HSE Plan before contracted work is started: • For Mode 1 contracts the plan is owned by the CH with input
from the contractor and approved by the CO; • For Mode 2 contracts the plan is owned by the contractor with
input from the CH/CSR/HSE Adviser and approved by the CO; • This HSE Plan shall document the level of HSE risk in the
contract scope (including work in subcontractor yards and workshops if they are Mode 1/2 activities) and document the interface arrangements for HSE management between parties (e.g. contractor, subcontractors and EP Company) to ensure that responsibilities for maintaining HSE controls are complete and understood;
• The plan shall indicate those pre-start-up activities, which must be complete before contracted work may start, including communicating the requirements of the Contract HSE Plan to the relevant responsible parties;
• The plan shall list conditions and circumstances that could change the HSE risk profile of the contract scope i.e. updating the HSE risk assessment from Low HSE Risk to Medium/High HSE Risk.
Specific requirements for HSE Plans depend on the contract mode and contract HSE risk as follows: 1. Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk or Mode 2 High HSE Risk contracts:
Document the HSE hazard/risk control requirements in a Contract HSE Plan which provides a demonstration that the HSE risks of the contract hazards and effects are identified and reduced to as low as reasonably practicable (ALARP) in accordance with [11] and EP Tool ‘HSE Plan Checklist for Major Contracts’ [5] and the following: • Identify subcontractors and categorises their HSE contract
mode as Mode 1, Mode 2 or Mode 3; • Make reference to the relevant HSE MS or HSE Case(s) or
EP Company project HSE Plan(s) to avoid unnecessary duplication;
• Include HSE improvement targets; • Include a periodic review (at least quarterly for red-banded
contractors) of HSE improvement progress and performance against Contract HSE Plan;
• Include on-site HSE supervision by EP Company for red-banded contractors. The CO shall approve deviations to this rule.
2. Mode 1 (Low/Medium/High HSE Risk) or Mode 2 Low HSE Risk contracts: Document the HSE hazard and risk control requirements in a Contract HSE Plan using EP Tool ‘Contract HSE Plan Checklist for Small Contracts’ [6].
Task 13: Execute pre-mobilisation and mobilisation activities 1. The pre-start-up activities defined in the Contract HSE Plan shall
be verified complete prior to commencement of work. The issues covered by this step include:
• Consortium partnership issues (cooperation of a leading contractor with one or more other specialised contractors);

2. Hold a kick-off meeting to verify that the contractor's workforce and supervisors are aware of the relevant parts of the Contract HSE Plan including but not limited to: • Promoting the EP Companies commitment to HSE and that
health and safety takes priority over other contract objectives, KPIs and requirements;
• Site hazards of the operation detailed in the scope of work; • Familiar with:
o HSE working procedures; o Rules and regulations; o Alarms and signals; o Emergency communications and procedures.
The meeting may be structured as an HSE workshop, with participation by both EP Company and contractor management.
3. Conduct pre-mobilisation/job inspection(s), using the relevant parts of the Contract HSE Plan as a TOR. Conduct specialist review(s) (e.g. Shell Aircraft International air operations reviews or STASCO vessel inspections) prior to mobilisation.
4. Authorise the contractor to start mobilisation/work.
5. Conduct HSE start-up audits as required: • For Mode 1 contracts, the need for an audit shall depend
upon the size and complexity of the contract; • For Mode 2 contracts it is recommended to conduct an HSE
start-up audit in accordance with the relevant parts of the EP Standard ‘HSE Auditing’ [9] if such contracts are: o High HSE Risk; or o Medium HSE Risk, which are complex operations or
managed by contractors new to EP/Dir/Reg.
6. Ensure inspection and audit findings are followed-up, closed and subject to the following: • Serious/High findings [24, §5]:

Further guidance on Steps 1 to 3 above can be found in §6.1, 6.2 and 6.3 of OGP HSE Management – ‘Guidelines for working together in a contract environment’ [25]. Task 14: Monitor implementation of the Contract HSE Plan and steer performance improvement during the contract The CH/CSR/Contract User to be visible in promoting the EP Companies commitment to HSE (e.g. attending HSE talks and meetings and regularly re-enforcing that health and safety take priority over other contract objectives). The CSR/Contract User shall assist the CH in monitoring the day-to-day implementation of the Contract HSE Plan including closeout of agreed actions, HSE performance, and any changes in the HSE risk profile of the current and future activities within the contract scope:
1. For Mode 1 contracts: The CH/CSR/Contract User supervises the contractor and is directly responsible for the effective implementation of the Contract HSE Plan.
2. For Mode 2 Contracts: The CH/CSR/Contract User is responsible to verify and monitor the contractor.
3. For both Mode 1 and Mode 2 contracts: The CSR/Contract User verifies the agreed handover procedures are implemented for crew changes.
Demonstrate that the HSE MSs of contractors (including subcontractors) are subject to continuous improvement in the course of project execution, which shall include, if applicable, monitoring the contractor’s follow-up of actions agreed at the SCM category level. Task 15: Sharing learning and good practice (contractor HSE forums)
Analyse/Improve (not required for Mode 3 contracts) Hold periodic forum sessions for contractors, grouped by SCM
Category or by project, which are executing Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk contracts in order to: • Share learning and best practices; • Address contractor interface issues; • Conduct HSE performance self-assessments. Task 16: Report to the Tender Board Review at least annually with the Tender Board or equivalent the significant changes in stoplight bands of contractors involved with Medium HSE Risk contracts or High HSE Risk contracts. Use these reviews to discuss issues and strategies and obtain guidance from senior management, and to obtain benchmarks from SCM databases. Task 17: Steer HSE performance improvements The CH steers HSE performance improvement during the contract, while the HSE Adviser annually updates and reviews with the CH/CO and GCM/CFP the stoplight bands of the current portfolio of contractors in order to recognise and improve performance. For example, performance improvement can be recognised by a special letter, sustained good performance by a plaque, etc.

4.3 Competence Requirements The competence of CHs and CSRs (where applicable) shall be assured according to [3] for all contracts within the scope of this Specification. CHs and CSRs are required to have at least the HSSE management competences proficiency levels as specified in Table 4.3.1. Table 4.3.1 HSSE Management Competence Requirements for CHs and CSRs Code Competence Element Proficiency Level for
CHs for Medium/High HSE Risk contracts require:

*HSE 4.1 Knowledge The asterisk is to confirm that CHs require more than a Knowledge proficiency level. Hence, CHs are required to be able to demonstrate the skill to ‘Provide structured support for the systematic application of HEMP to HSSE risks through establishing systematic HSSE management to maintain compliance with HSSE requirements and continuous performance improvement’. A number of approved standard EP JCPs were identified as applicable for the Level 2 HSSE Critical Positions, and therefore these JCPs were developed to contain the requisite HSSE competences. If the HSSE competences of the applicable JCP are less than those stated in Table 4.3.1, they shall be raised to meet the appropriate level. A person who is to be appointed as a CH or CSR for a Medium HSE Risk or High HSE Risk contract shall have the relevant technical discipline competences required for managing the type of work performed under the contract. This shall be included as part of their JCP, or otherwise assessed and assured by the Contract Owner as being appropriate for the person to manage the work. No person should be appointed as CH or CSR unless their HSSE management competence profile satisfies the requirements set out in Table 4.3.1. If, and for as long as, this requirement is not satisfied then additional supervision or support by persons whose competence profile does satisfy the requirements set out in Table 4.3.1 shall be provided. The Contract Owner shall approve the adequacy of these support provisions.

4.4 Safe Systems of Work/Personal Safety Competences The HSSE profile in Table 4.3.1 for CHs and CSR roles requires the Skill proficiency level in ‘Safe Systems of Work/ Personal Safety’. To do so persons in these roles shall be able to carry out consistently the significant majority of the activities listed below to the required standard: ‘Use structured tools and techniques to control physical work activities, which have associated HSSE hazards: • Identify, assess and record workplace hazards; • Identify the controls necessary to ensure that work can be undertaken with risk at As Low As
Reasonably Practicable; • Manage interfaces with concurrent work activities to avoid conflicts; • Conduct site safety checks and audits; • Integrate the safe system of work in the work procedures and planning process including
changes to work; • Implement safe work systems (e.g. Job Hazard Analysis; Permit To Work); • Provide advice on personal safety controls required for legal /regulatory compliance; • Monitor and implement changes to personal safety requirements (e.g. regulatory changes).’3 These competences needs to be determined in relation to the activities of the work as performed under the contract and may require specific training in these.

HSE Tool HSE Plan Checklist for
Major Contracts Tool EP2005-0110-TO-81
Tool: HSE Plan Checklist for Major Contracts (Mode 2 Medium HSE Risk and High HSE Risk Contracts)
Other than the blue text underlined in italics the content in this EP Tool is identical to Appendix V of the ‘OGP HSE Management – Guidelines for working together in a contract environment’.
1. HSE Plan Definition Guideline When the contracted activities are covered by a contractor HSE Management System (e.g. in line with the E&P Forum guidelines on HSE Management Systems), including HSE Cases for contracted installations, the HSE Plan should only address those issues that are unique for the contract under consideration. It should focus on contract specific risks and the management of controls to eliminate, reduce or mitigate these risks. Other contract specific issues that may be addressed in the plan are: • Organisation and personnel for the project; • Project specific procedures; • Project audit and review plan; • Compliance with local rules and legislation. The checklist in Tables 3.1 to 3.7 can be used as a tool to check the HSE plans for the project specific issues, but can also be used to assess the HSE Management System if this has not been certified or assessed in any other manner. When the contractor does not have an HSE Management System, the HSE Plan should be developed in line with the principles of the E&P Forum guidelines for HSE Management Systems or other comparable guidelines. The HSE Plan should follow principal headings with an expansion into key checklist items (Tables 3.1 to 3.7) given on the following pages under the respective headings. The detail included in the tender should be in keeping with the complexity of the contract and should additionally include prompts for specific action plans, target dates and action parties.
