, FOR DISCUSSION
1. Helicopter Escape Breathing App~ratus , • Excerpt from C-NOPB letter, ~te~ February 25,2000:
. . The results of reSearch and experience indicate that the'propability of successfully exiting.an overturned p.elicopter in cOld water is'low even by passengers who have the benefit of escape training and an approved
'. transportation suit. Several' companies in the North Sea have adopted the use of "Escape Breathing · Devices'? to improve passengers" chances' of surviving a crash. While it is recognized that there are risks . and' issues associated with the. use. of ¢ese devices, it is believed that progress, to. date, ·in this area represents a significant st~p forward in reducing the risk ass~iated with helicopter travel offshore ..
Consequently, ·the· C .. NOPB has requested that CAPP's Safety Sub-Committee undertake the. issue for discussion. '

Helicopter Under Water Escape Breathing Apparatus ~
UKCAA • The Joint Aviation Authority (JM) Helicopter Offshore Safety and Survival (HOSS)
commissioned a preliminary study of the implementation and use ofEBS (see Attachment 1). The UK eM Safety Regulation Group and HSE are jointly funding the study.
• A meeting of the JM HOSS group was held on October 10 to discuss the fIrst draft of the study and the way forward. A number of minor changes were agreed to and a fInaJ draft is expected by the end of October 2001. It was also agreed to publish the study in the public domain in the fonn of a CAA paper. .
• Also at the October 10th meeting, opinion·within the CAA project team regarding the course of action to be taken regarding EBS was divided and as a result, a short internal paper is being drafted for presentation to senior' management for a pOlicy decision.
UKOOA • The UKOOA Aircraft Copmrittee Chairman in4icated that by the end of October 2001 about
. .90% of flights would depart with p~sengers wearing a re-breather. Those companies, about two-.. thirds, who do nO.t currently use EES will probably ·also go that route pendhig the· outcome' of the CAAstudy.
• The current EBS used is the Airpocket +. The CAA have been uTIhappy with the deployment method (mouthpiece in mouth Pefore impa~t) and have been actively involved on the committee within a.UKOOA Airpocket workgroup tq come up with a solution that allows Airpocket to be .used in any emergency landing on water scenario. The changes being proposed, pending the outcome of the eAA study, will provide a new mouthpiece that is simpler to operate and can be put on under water if required.
• . This information was also shared with the C-NOPB.
Action: ,( CAPP to contact the UK. CAA in early November for another update.

DATE October 28, 2002
TO CAPP East Coast Safety Committee
FROM Emergency Breathing System (EBS) Task Force
SUBJECT EBS Task Force Report
Memo
The EBS Task Force consisting of Paul Barnes, ~ , and _ ..... has completed its review ofEBS usage in response to a letter from the C-NOPB, dated February 25, 2000. As you recall the C-NOPB had asked the CAPP East Coast Safety Committee to review the research being conducted in the North Sea on EBS usage. Attached is the EBS Discussion Paper that highlights all known facts on EBS and makes recommendations on EBS usage, selection, design, training, health considerations and implementation.
Our Task Force has concluded that the research to date confirms that the use of EBS, if correctly deployed, in a survivable impact on water, will allow helicopter passengers to extend their breathing capability such that the risk from drowning is greatly reduced and their chances of survival increased. Furthermore the Task Force recommends that EBS usage be implemented for offshore East Coast helicopter travel and that the preferred equipment at this time is the Air Pocket Plus Hybrid Device.
In order that the EBS implementation be fully supported and managed through to a successful conclusion, the EBS Task Force believe that there are a number of critical issues that require resolution. These issues involve certain design aspects of the device, training, and health and hygiene.
To facilitate a successful implementation of EBS it is paramount that an Implementation Committee is commissioned to oversee that the recommendations and findings in the EBS Discussion Paper are researched, understood and resolved. This committee would be comprised of Operators who have helicopter contracts, a representative from CAODC, a worker representative or representatives, as well as other operating companies who have an interest and knowledge ofEBS.
As there are a number of questions and concerns around the detail of how EBS should be implemented, the Implementation Committee will be supported by working groups dedicated to specific tasks and activities dealing with these concerns in their area of expertise e.g. training, health issues and design concerns.
With regard to the timing for actual EBS implementation we envisage the Implementation Committee will develop an implementation plan with a goal of having the critical issues resolved by the end of2003.
Thank you on behalf of the EBS Task Force.

-:1 Atlantic Canada Committee March 20,2003 Meeting Summary.
• HEUBA - P. Barnes discussed the response to be sent to the CNOPB on the HUEBA issue. Over the past 18 months CAPP researched and prepared a discussion paper on the use of this device.
, The' current research seems to indicate that the ,use of an escape breathing system, if correctly deployed, will allow helicopter passengers to extend their breathing capability such that the risk from drowning is reduced and their chances of survival increased. There are a number of issues however, that need to be addressed before implementation. These issues involve training, design aspects involving compatibility with survival suits and use in cold temperatures. CAPP, CAODC and the Boards will work on addressing these issues with the intent 6fhaving the critical issues addressed by the end of this year. Refer to the response letter (Attachment 1) .

SUbJect: HEUBA Meeting Summary notes
Below are the summary notes and action Items that were'discussed at the'meeting on Wednesday (Oct 15, 2003) on this issue. As i was doing most of the talking through the document my note taking was sporadic so if i missed something' , piease'let me know. The next meeting is:December 9th at 2pm (NL) time.
Summary Notes: "
1. Discl!ssion took place as to the need for a set of guidelines dealing with this issue. POints raised included evidence that such devices could save lives, NATO pilots all use such devices, devices are becoming more prevalent in o'ther, ' jurisdictions, technology is constantly improving and the devices are becoming 'more available, 'off.the shelf' than Ewer' , before. It W;:lS felt su~h a device should be us,ed in eastern canada as another safety article for the offshore workforce. Their use would be taught,during the bst co,ur~e. All felt a less prescriptive and, flexible guidelin~ would be,needed,~
2. The recommendations contained in'the CAPP discussion paper on the subject was reviewed. 'It was 'decided the paper needed to be redrafted to incorporate a few of the ideas discussed and to make it less prescriptive. Also to separate the actions that are needed to be undertaken prior to 'implementation versus longer term. ACTION: . 2 and Paul Barnes to redraft and circulate. '
3. Some 'companies have polled the work~r reps on the JOHSC co~mittees and there appears to be consensus that the , ' use of such devices is viewed as a positive move but there remain's a number of training and other concerns as outlined in the discussion document. It was decided that a worker rep needed to be included on the im'plementation committee. ACTION: 7 tA to investigat~ the,possibility of finding a worker r~p VO,IU, nteer. '
4.lt was decided that the various operators needed to keep workers informed of progress on this issu'e through periodic ( " updates to the JOHSC cpmmittees. '
5. There are a number of issues that need to b~ addressed with the training institutes and which their advice is required~ It was decided that some further research on the issue is needed befon~ the institutes are engaged. '
, 6. CAPP to confirm with its members if this proposed route to add.r:es$ the issue in a less prescriptive manner is satisfactory. ACTION: Proposed course of action to be raised at the next, CAPP safety s.c. meeting:
. . .' . '
7. Meeting a~endees suggested that most of the work on this issue, could be complete by Q2/04,and with operators 'and' Board, buy-in the devices could become in use by the Q4/04. , . ,
Next.meeting is set for December 9th'at 2pm '(NLtime). Please let me know' if you are available t~ att~nd. '

ACC Feb 3/04 Meeting Summary Page 2
• Helicopter Underwater Escape Breathing Apparatus (HUEBA) P Barnes reported that the Boards are requesting a guideline/standard be developed for the use of HVEBA's for the ,AC offshore. There are currently two devices preferred by individual members: a hybrid device and an air compression device. The CNOPB is indifferent on which device industry uses but does not support industry having two different devices. CAPP members agreed. P Barnes reported that the CAPP Safety Committee is struggling to reach a member consensus as to which device to use. There is a safety task group meeting today to try to reach a consensus, if not achieved, this issue will need to be brought back to the ACC for decision.

.3-A· 'Use of Helicopter Escape Compressed Air Devices
. P. Barnes gave an overview of the Atlantic Canada Safety' Sub-Committee' ~ recommendation to implement the use of a compressed air device for all perspnnel transporting to the offshore pllitfonns
. by helicopter. Over the past'two years the committee investigated two device options: hybrid rebreather and compressed air and recently decided that the compressed air was the preferred device. Training on such a device will be a component of the BST course (and BST refresher course) and will also' be included in the safety video shown at the heliport 'prior to each helicopter departure. Estimated costs for the devices are: compressed air (stat~ of'the a~ unit) - 100 units five years total price $119,000..00., Rebreath.er 10.0 units five years total price $137,0.0.0..00.. Subject to further discussions with the training institutions (SUrvival Systems Limited and Marine Institute), helicopter contractors, system providers, the offshore workforce and with the offshore petroleum boards, these
. devices W-ill be in use early in 20.0.5.

The HUEBA Task Force continues to work with medical service providers on a recommended common EBS device for use in Eastern Canada. Committee members still have questions on the medical training which cannot be easily answered. Therefore, CAPP has proposed a one day work shop that will bring together international expertise to discuss the work conducted in United Kingdom on various Emergency Breathing Systems and to discuss the operational and medical implications of using and training on the re-breather and compressed air EBS devices.

At the'April AC,C meeting there was an agreem~nt reached to proceed with using ~ compressed air device, subject to a 3m party independent medical review of the traiillng implications of the device. That
, medical review has 'been completed, and :the report revie¥(ed by thy CAPP HUEBA Task Group and the , CAPP Medical Fitness to Work (FTW) Task Group. The HUEBA TG has recommended that the
, medical implications of the training ,and the added'medical assessment requirements are manageable 'and that, as per the discussion in the medical report, 'training in the helicopter simulator at 1.8 metres of
, , water depth is significant with respect to increasing the c4ances of suryival in a rea~ emergency. 'Thus, the HUEBA TG has recoIi1ln~ded that the trainin:g implementation proceed ~t 1.8 metres water: depth
, (the recommendation prior to reviewing the medic~l report was to proceed at 1 metr~s not in the helicoptet: simUlator): " " ' " , ' ,
The FTW TO agreed that ifit waS deemed'appropriate by the Safety sC and ACC to pro'ceed at 1.8 metres, the medical implications and added assessment requirements a.re,managea~le. In anticipation of this outcome, the FTW TG is proceeding vyith updating the Medical Fitness to Work Guideline.to include a ,section on this' training. ' ' , '
The Safety SC discussed this recommendation at their me'eting which occurred befo~e the ACC meeting' and agrees that this recommendation seems reasonable and suggests the HUEBA 'TG proceed with ' , implemeriting the trairiing. HO'Yever, the S:ub-Committee indicated their inter:est at concurrently 1?aving, ' a two 2-3 week period in which to discuss this recom.ri1endation internally with their ,respective rnanagementtearns. '
, ,
The ACe ,agreed to this, approach 'and will discuss'this recommendation internally with their safety officers. The ACe aild Safety se will be polled electronically hy GAPP (likely dUring the se,cond week of July) to seek formaJ approval far this approach to training on the cOmpressed air device.

Re'garding: Training on a compressed air device - recommendation to proceed with training , implementation '
, Recommendation: The HUEBA TG has recommended training be: implemented on a , compressed air device in a helicopter simulator at a w~ter depth of 1.8 metres (Note: the
recommendation prior-to receiving and reviewing the medical assessment was to, proceed with implementing training on a compressed air device at 1 metre not in the helicopter Simulator).
Attachment: The medical assessment provided by Dr:_in response to CA~P's request for his review,of the medical implications of training on a compressed air device at 1 metre and 1.8 metres water depth, and his Identification'of required additional medical, assessment components. ' ' ,
Action: Safety SC and ACC members are asked to review the attached report and , discuss the recommendation to proceed with ,training at 1.8 metres in'the helicopter' simulator.,CAPP'wili poll the members of these two committees 'electronically'within,the ,second week of July to assess formal approval,ofthe recommendation~ Should there be feedback I concerns from the internal company discussions plea~e provide that to CAPP as soon as pO,ssible, the poll that CAPP will conduct in Jut'y will formulate the formal approvaf. of, at oppo~ition to, the recommendation, • concerns should be raised 'in advance of.that poli so that they can be considered as, soon as ,possibl'e.
In the meantime, the HUEBA TG will be expanded,to include representatives from the helicopter companies and training institutes in order to progress the implementation of the training by the November timeframe. ,
Background: At the April ACC.:meeting there was an agreement reached to proceed with using a compressed' air device subject to a third-party independent review of the medical '
, implications for training on the device. That medical review has been completed (attached) and the report reviewed by the CAPP HUEBA Task Group and the CAPP Medical Fitness to 'Work {FTW) Task Group.'The HUEBA TG has recomm.ended that the medical implications of the ,training and the added medical assessment requirements are manageable and that, as per the
" discussion in the medical report, training in the: helicopter simulator at t.8 mettes water depth , is Significant with respect to increasing the chances of survival in a real emergency_ Thus, the ' HUEBA TG 'has ,recommended that the'training implementation proceed at 1.8 metres water

, Medical Fitness to Work Guideline to include a section- on this training. ' , ,
At the Safety SC meeting 6n June 14th, the members in attendance agreed With the , , recommendation and have directed the HUEBA TG to proceed with implementing the training at 1.8 metre water depth in a helicopter simulator. The original target of full implementation by November 2006 remains. However, the SafetySC requested a concurrent period of i·3 weeks, within which to discuss this recommendation internally with their respective, management teams. The ACC met on June 14th and also tentatively approved'
",proceeding with the training implementation as recommended in conjunction with a concurrent period in which to discuss the implications' and recommendation internally.

1. Presentation and Discussion of Phase 2 of the Quality of Safety Training Courses Project
_provided an update on the project's progress. See October 2006 version of issue matrix for details and actions. The Phase 2 draft questionnaires have been reviewed by the committee and in general appear to be. acceptable in order to begin the Phase 2 work. One comment received was that the task of responding to the questionnaires could prove to be long and laborious, for the instructors responding. For example, it has taken the SSTL instructors one month so far and they need at least another three weeks to complete. In partiCUlar, the section on facility equipment could require quite some time to complete. Members did not want this to be a burdensome process and agreed that where possible the training institutes could insert the information from the promotional materials already developed. _ is working on the letter to be signed by the Chair which will accompany the questionnaires. The courses which have the added EBS components will be provided as the HUEBA implementation develops. As discussed, St. John Ambulance courses have been added to Phase 2 as they are not reviewed by a third party. The next step once final approval of the questionnaires is received by the committee is for the members to provide the right expertise in order to develop the accurate check offlists for conducting site visits.

Issue: HUEBA Implementation
Description:
pg 2 of9
Implementation is underway for the use of a compressed air device for personnel traveling by helicopter to offshore facilities.
Recent Activity: • HUEBA Implementation target date is now anticipated to be 4th Quarter 2007. The C-NLOPB sent a
letter to CAPP confirming their interest in the EBS implementation and received an update from CAPP in Calgary the week of April 16th
• CAPP has responded to the C-NLOPB letter in writing (copy distributed with meeting package).
• The HUEBA Task Force met on June 13 th, 2007. Helly Hansen was awarded the contract to supply the suits for NL and NS offshore personnel. NL and NS suits are identical except for the Personnel Locator Beacon (PLB). Operators have agreed to implement the suits in NS prior to implementation in NL. Two reasons for this are to work out all the kinks with respect to training and implementation in NS prior to going live in NL, and due to limited supply quantity for first delivery date. MI is scheduled to complete training with SSTL in September. The CRFs to incorporate HUEBA in the Training and Qualifications Standard Practice were approved by the HUEBA TF and will go to the TQC at their next meeting June 18th
•
Current Action: • The operators' contracts people will review SSTL's video user agreement and video invoice. • Other priorities involve developing the communications package which will consist of two
presentations, one or management and one for offshore personnel, as well as video, forms, FAQ's etc. The second priority is the medical guide review which is being conducted by the Fitness to Work Task Force with the help of Dr . .-See below for more detail. (Sec. Note: see attached HUEBA EBS Implementation Planfrom the May 3 meeting.)

Implementation is underway for the use of a compressed air device for personnel traveling by helicopter to offshore facilities.
Recent Activity: • HUEBA Implementation target date is now anticipated to take place early September in NS and
November in NL. Operators have agreed to implement the suits in NS prior to implementation in NL. Two reasons for the NS trial period are to work out all the kinks with respect to training and implementation in NS prior to going live in NL, and due to limited supply quantity for first delivery date.
• The SSTL and the MI have an agreed training date confirmed for train the trainer. • The FTW TF held a meeting in July and will draft a supplement to the CAPP Medical Guide to
address the screening requirements. • The video user agreement and invoice for the SSTL video is being handled by the contract managers
for each operator and the Training Institutes are to enter into their own arrangements with each of the operators to provide the HUEBA training. The HUEBA Task Force met on June 13 t
\ 2007. Helly Hansen was awarded the contract to supply the suits for NL and NS offshore personnel. NL and NS suits are identical except for the Personnel Locator Beacon (PLB). MI is scheduled to complete training with SSTL in September.

Issue: HUEBA Implementation
Description:
pg 2 of II Updated: September 2007
Implementation is underway for the use of a compressed air device for personnel traveling by helicopter to offshore facilities.
Recent Activity (Sec note: updated after Sept 13 HUEBA TG meeting): • On September 24, 2007 new helicopter suits were officially implemented offshore NS without the
HUEBA device (the device is designed and purchased for the suits but outstanding medical issues delayed the implantation of the device at this time - refer to bullet below). A Helly Hansen representative has been at the heliport providing instruction, and the video for the use of the suit has been integrated with Canadian Helicopter's video for viewing at the heliport. Survival Systems (SSTL) is ready to training offshore personnel.
• The Marine Institute (MI) has ordered the helicopter suits and HUEBA device from Helly Hansen and Aqualung, respectively. The schedule for delivery is not fixed, however both suppliers have assured the MI that the items will be available in time to commence training (anticipated start date for use of the suits in NL is November 1, 2007).
• The outstanding invoice for the training video from SSTL will be split equally among the four operating CAPP members and invoiced accordingly by SSTL. All operators have been notified ofthis arrangement. The legal release has been completed and will be provided by SSTL to of

ExxonMobil; once receivedAS ••• will review with legal council and provide to other operators for review. The Train the Trainer session has been rescheduled to the first week of October 2007 at SSTL; 2 instructors from the MI will attend the training. Further, any differences between MI & SSTL training will be identified through'the course review being conducted by the Training and Qualifications Committee (TQc) (Phase II of the Safety Training Study) - to occur within six months of the start of the training. An information package has been prepared for the implementation ofHUEBA and the new helicopter suit. Outstanding items are the report from the medical working group regarding the requirements for the medical fitness assessment (see bullet point below). A technical standard for HUEBA will be a component of this package as well as detailed instructions for what to do at the heliports and PowerPoint presentations directed at both management and offshore personnel. The change request forms for the TQC have been completed and approved; this training will be included in the updated 2006 document. The CAPP Medical FTW TG has recently developed a recommendation for the protocol for assessing fitness to train on this device. A meeting of operators' medical and legal teams is planned for Sept 26th at which the recommendation will be reviewed. Next steps for the work of the Medical Task Group and HUEBA Task Group will be assessed after this meeting (more detail under Fitness to Work item below).
Current Action: • There remain ongoing discussions to finalize outstanding medical and legal issues. The Safety SC
will be apprised.

Issue: CAPP East Coast Medical Assessment for Fitness to 'York Offshore Guideline
Description: The Safety Sub-Committee deemed it timely to update the Guideline ensuring that issues of medical frequencies, reciprocity, HUEBA, and equivalencies will be addressed in the next edition.
Recent Activity: • A task group was struck to review and update the guideline; the task group is chaired by_
(Petro-Canada) and includes representation from operators and medical professionals. The TG has broken out into two sub groups, one to address the HUEBA component and one to update the guideline.
• The HUEBA task group has been meeting to assess the best medical assessment protocol required to mitigate risk associated with training on a compressed air device; these discussions are ongoing.
• Another area being addressed is the medical screening requirement; the TG is investigating moving away from the age based screening to a bi-annual screening which is thought to be more nondiscriminatory. Individual company policies may exceed this.
• The TG is also working on incorporating a "change in health status" in the guide. This will provide more medical assessment accountability in the Guide by ensuring things like operations; medical conditions, etc., get reported.
• There was a request at the Safety SC for the FTW TG to discuss BMI and how to address the issue.
Current Action: • The FTW TG has deferred discussion about the update of the guide whilst the time-sensitive
discussions regarding the implementation of the HUEBA device are ongoing. The TG directed that operators' medical and legal personnel become involved in the discussions and these representatives are undertaking parallel assessment of outstanding issues (sec note: multiple meetings have occurred throughout September and are anticipated into the early part of October, the Safety SC will be kept apprised - co~eting summaries are available ifmembers of the SC would like - contact" ~or additional information).

STATUS OF TRAINING PLAN FORA COMPRESSED AIR EMERGENCY BREATHING ApPARATUS
FEBRUARY 18,2008
FROM:
a
BACKGROUND
In 2006 oil and gas industry operators agreed to assess the medical risk associated with implementing the use of, and training on, a compressed air Emergency Breathing Apparatus (EBS) unit. The EBS is now referred to as the compressed air Helicopter Underwater Emergency Breathing Apparatus (HUEBA). In 2006 CAPP commissioned review of the medical risk arising from the use of the device and requested feedback on two scenarios: training to a maxirrlUm water depth of 1.0 metre and training within the helicopter underwater escape trainer (HUET) whichwould take trainees to a water depth of 1.8 metres.
Feedback from the medical expert indicated that there is a near ze~o risk associ~ted.with training to 1.0 metre water depth and that the small increase in risk6ftrainingto 1.8 metres could be minimized by implementing additions to the medical assessment conducted pdor to training. At that time, The CAPP Safety Sub-Committee and ACC approved concurrent undertakings: the development of a training and implementation plan for the useofa compressed air HVEBA, and review of the existing medical assessment to determine any changes required to reduce the medical risk associated with training to 1.8 metres (includes the used of a HUET).'
. ....'
Near the end of 2007 the CAPP Medical Team responded with a caution about training using the compressed air HUEBA at adepih of 1.8 metres. They also requested further review by medical experts of additional measures for medical assessment to train at 1.0 metres (these measures were not recommended for this depth by the medical expert previously consulted). The CAPP Medical Team met with CAPP operators and their legal advisors to consider the next steps. It was deemed important to obtain the medic,al expert's advice/opinion regarding the amount of risk and the type of procedures that would reduce the risk B.ased upon .the advice/feedback received from the medical expert in response tothis inquiry, a phased approachto training has been proposed for operators' consideratiorLThis approach and the various considerations associated with the approach are discussed in detail below. .
. . . . . .
CONSIDERATIONS FOR TRAINING PLAN
There are two possible training standards: training for use of a compressed air HUEBA at a maximum water depth of 1.0 metre and training for use of a compressed air HUEBA at a maximum water depth of 1.8 metres. Training at 1.0 metre water depth would include an introduction to the unit and several exercises in the classroom (lecture, demonstration) and pool ( demonstration, practice) using the device. Training at 1.8 metres water depth would also include using the HUEBA during HUET exercises.
1.0 metres Benefits: introduction to the unit and practice with the unit in wet scenarios; near zero medical risk; no added medical assessment (CAPP existing medical assessment is viewed by the external medical expert as adequate with the addition of a few questions asked of trainees just prior to training in order
EXHIBIT/P-00122
to assess any changes in medical status since the last medical, and any existing acute medical conditions such as a cold).
Considerations: 1.0 metres does not allow for training on the unit within the HUET - thus the trainees do not benefit from emergency escape scenario training.
1.8 metres Benefits: use of the devise during HUET exercises simulates more aspects of use of the device in an emergency situation, such as escaping through the window, and traveling through the water using the device.
Considerations: increased medical risk over 1.0 metres requires additional measures to the existing CAPP medical assessment (Le., chest x-ray and specific spirometry parameters)
Medical expert advice received in 2006 for the training plan: implement training to include the HUET as it has been proved that training which reduces the requirement for rational thought during an emergency is most effective to increase chances of survival.
PROPOSED ApPROACH TO TRAINING
SUMMARY
Implement a training standard for use of comp~essed air HUEBA at a maximum depth of 1.0 metres. . \ . ,' ...
Continue additional risk assessment work required t6 develop'atraining standard for use of compressed air HUEBA at a maximUm depth of 1.8 metres with the intention of phasing in the 1.8 metres standard with t~e use of the HUET upon appro~al of the standard by the operators.
DISCUSSION
The medical expert has confirmed that training toa maximum water depth of 1.0 metres presents a "near zero"medical risk, and it has been confirmed by operator representatives that this training standard.would conform to an ALARP risk level. Therefore, it is proposed that training to this depth be implemented as soon as possible. However, there remains interest in implementing a training standard for trahiing at a maximum depth of 1.8 metres (Le. training at each training facility in the HUET). Therefore, it is proposed that a Risk Assessment be conducted to review the training standard of 1.8 metres water depth at a time when the external medical expert is available to participate. As a result, there would be a phased approach to the training, commencing as soon as possible with training to a depth of 1.0 meters with as much wet training as feasible (specific training objectives have been identified), and moving towards full training in the HUET based upon further risk assessment.

The medical subgroup met on February 27, 2008 to review recommendations for medical requirements for HUEBA training at 1.0 metre or less. Attendees included Dr . £ ,Dr. S I .nd 2 6. Unfortunately Dr. could not attend.
We thought we had consenus on the recommendations at the end of the meeting however since then further concerns have been expressed on one aspect by a member of the group. At this point there would appear to be consensus on the following at a minimum;
a requirement that there has been a baseline Chest X-Ray (PA & Lateral) prior to training. All trainees would be required to provide evidence of a normal Chest X-Ray (historic or current) basic spirometry with results for FEV1/FVC > 70% a pre-training health questionnaire for use at the training institutes to rule out acute problems. The process for use and follow-up of this questionnaire must be in place prior to any training.

EXHIBIT/P-00122
The one issue on which agreement is no longer clear is whether there is a need for physician-based assessment of individuals who would be undertaking HUEBA training prior to their next scheduled medical certification. We have agreed that enhancements to the contents of the medical assessment represent good practice and general improvement on a go forward basis.

STATUS OF ONGOING ACTIVITIES TO IMPLEMENT A HELICOPTER UNDERWATER
ESCAPE BREATHING APPARATUS IN ATLANTIC CANADA
SEPTEMBER 2008
To:
FROM:
CAPP ATLANTIC CANADA SAFETY COMMITTEE HUEBA TASK GROUP ____ ._CAPP
BACKGROUND
Industry and regulators in Atlantic Canada agree to the value of implementing a Helicopter Underwater Escape Breathing Apparatus (HUEBA) as a standard component of safety equipment carried by all offshore oil and gas workforce personnel. Over the past several years substantial efforts have been made to determine the best approach and most advantageous equipment to implement. In 2006 it was agreed that the best technology to have in an emergency situation is a compressed air device. That year there was agreement to commence the procedure of implementing a compressed air device, with the caveat that the medical risks associated with the use of the device in training be further reviewed and a training plan developed to mitigate the risk. Throughout 2007 all aspects of implementation of the compressed air device were progressed: new suits were developed and are now in use, training institutes became prepared to train with the device, transport containers were obtained and consultations with Transport Canada regarding the transport of the compressed air bottles were concluded. However, the discussions regarding medical risk associated with training on the compressed air device remain ongoing. The challenge with implementing a training protocol that mitigates risk while ensuring the workforce is well prepared to use the device in an emergency situation has not been resolved.
DISCUSSION / NEXT STEPS
Given the advice received from industry'S medical team that there is a medical risk, low but not easily quantifiable, in training on a compressed air device, industry members agree that the most appropriate response to address the risk is to review all options available to mitigate this risk, including reviewing the options available for the device chosen. Therefore, on August 22, 2008, industry proposed to regulators that the next step in implementing a HUEBA is to step back and review all that is known or available about the three HEUBA devices: compressed air, rebreather, and hybrid-rebreathers. Information on all aspects (medical, training protocols/philosophies, mitigation measures, suit implications, etc.) will be sought from local and overseas cold water basins. Lessons learned in other jurisdictions, and any new research on the options available, will be valuable in determining a local solution. The review will be led by a team of industry and regulators and will be conducted of the fall 2008. A component of which will include discussions with Canadian organizations (training institutes, military, medical expertise) followed by a trip overseas to view first hand what has been done in jurisdictions such as Norway, Netherlands and the UK to implement a breathing apparatus as part of their standard safety equipment. The review team will compile all information gathered and determine what device and training protocol will best fit for Atlantic Canada and make a recommendation to the CAPP Executive before the end of 2008. The HUEBA Task Force and CAPP Safety Committee will be kept apprised as the work of the review team progresses.

Emergency Breathing System (EBS)
Industry, supported by regulators, has identified the value of equipping the workforce .with· an . emergency breathing system (EBS) as a component of the standard safety equipment to be carried on all offshore helicopter flights. The various device options are being reviewed in the context of the suits, training scenario and helicopters employed in Atlantic Canada. A component of the review includes becoming familiar with what has been employed in other, similar, cold waterjurisdictions (there are three types ofEBS options: compressed air system (e.g. 'spare-air); rebreather; hybridrebreather). The review team will visit U.K., Norwegian and Dutch training facilities and meet with ., key personnel involved in the use of and decision-making regarding EBS in order to .obtain hands on knowledge of the relative risks, technical aspects and training protocol options ofEBS .. Thereview is to occur over the fall of,2008 with a recommendation on the most appropriate device and training protocol for Atlantic Canada presented. to the Atlantic Canada Executive Policy Group by the end of . the year.

MEMO
RE: HELICOPTER UNDERWATER ESCAPE BREATHING APPARATUS (HUEBA) USE IN ATLANTIC CANADA - HUEBA REVIEW TEAM! RECOMMENDATION TO
CAPP
RECOMMENDATION
~ Implement, as soon as proper procednres are in place, a compressed air unit as the chosen emergency breathing apparatus for offshore petroleum industry helicopter travel
~ Implement this consistently across all petroleum industry operations in both the Nova Scotia and Newfoundland & Labrador offshore jurisdictions
~ Incorporate the compressed air unit as a component of the required safety training2 to inclnde dry familiarization and in-pool training at surface
BACKGROUND
The Atlantic Canadian offshore petroleum industry identified the necessity to include a device within the standard safety gear carried by all offshore workforce personnel that would aid in the ability to egress a ditched helicopter by providing additional air for the escape. In 2006 a compressed air unit was identified as the best available technology. The compressed air unit allows an individual additional time, via providing air while submerged, and could be deployed prior to submersion or underwater.
In 2007 it was proposed that the compressed air device be integrated into the basic safety training though not used within the HUET3. While this recommendation addressed the inability to quantify the precise level of medical risk (i.e. low risk of air embolism), there were concerns that training

EXHIBIT/P-00122
with compressed air at surface only and not including in-HUET application may not provide the most effective training. Therefore, prior to implementing the device, a thorough review of all options and key learnings from other cold-water basins was undertaken. The HUEBA Review Team (Review Team), consisting of representatives of CAPP, the Offshore Petroleum Boards and industry operators4 was established and tasked with completing this review. The Review Team was also asked to identify to what degree the device ought to be incorporated into basic safety training.
DISCUSSION
The Review Team offers its recommendation, described above, as the solution that provides the lowest overall risk for personnel traveling offshore in Atlantic Canada based upon information known to date. The Review Team recommends that the emergency breathing apparatus be implemented as soon as possible. This recommendation is based on information gathered through an in-depth review of the application of this device in Atlantic Canada, the experiences of other industries using the device, the experiences of other countries in using alternative technology and consideration for the specific nature of the industry and environment in Atlantic Canada.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION The following depicts a more detailed basis for the Review Team's recommendation:
~ A compressed air unit is the best available technology for the purpose (CAPP 2006 workshop) ~ A compressed air unit can be deployed in a greater variety of accident scenarios (Le. prior to
submersion or underwater) than alternative technology5 available at present ~ There may be an increased risk of a helicopter roll immediately after ditching in the Atlantic
Canada offshore environment (as compared to other cold-water basins visited by the Review Team) when sea states (parameters such as and flying parameters associated with Atlantic Canada conditions are considered
~ Compared with alternate technology, there are fewer steps required to deploy the compressed air unit and these steps can be undertaken with one hand
~ The compressed air unit allows for a greater duration oftime underwater than alternative technology
~ The risk of respirat07 infection from training on the compressed air unit is the lowest of the available technology
4 HUEBA Review Team members: 4A • CAPP; 4 II. CNSOPB; 1 Ie C-NLOPB; _ __ ExxonMobil; • ii, Husky; • D, EnCana; Petro-Canada 5 'Alternative technology' reviewed includes the Shark Air Pocket (rebreather), Shark Air Pocket Plus (hybridrebreather) and Helly Hansen rebreather (as integrated into a survival suit) 6 The incident rate of respiratory infection is near zero, there has been one case in the UK that may have been attributable to using a rebreather system though there was no formal connection; the risk of infection from compressed air use in training is less than a rebreather syst!'lm and therefore considered As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP)
EXHIBIT/P-00122
~ Pursuant to expert medical advice, training in water with compressed air at surface (i.e. depths of less than a meter) would require no change to the current CAPP medical requirements (CAPP Fitness to W ork Guide)
~ The helicopter flight suit currently in use in Atlantic Canada is approved by Transport Canada for the compressed air device, thus the unit, relative to alternate technology, will not have an impact on the suit or implementation .
~ The suit currently in use in Atlantic Canada is at the maximum buoyancy value permitted by the CGSB Suit Standards, the compressed air unit will not increase that value since it is near neutrally buoyant
~ Competency in using the device can be achieved by training at surface while still enabling a student to learn how to use the device in a real helicopter ditching scenario
~ All available technologies carry a degree of risk of air embolism ~ The low risk of air embolism from the use of the compressed air device can be virtually
eliminated by training with the device at the surface7; alternative devices necessitate in-HUET
training to ensure proper deployment is executed, thus training procedures are employed to minimize the risk of air embolism to the individual
~ The use of the compressed air device allows the ability to train for a "worst case" scenario (immediate roll following impact with water), by training at surface while eliminating requirements for additional in-HUET training
~ There have been several documented cases of the successful use of compressed air in real emergency situations; there have been no cases of use of alternative technology a real emergency to date
NEXT STEPS ~ CAPP members are asked to discuss the recommendation within their company management
schemes and seek internal approval as soon as possible
~ This recommendation has been reviewed and approved by the CAPP Safety Committee (at their meeting on December 11, 2008) and review and approval is now being sought by the CAPP Atlantic Canada Executive Policy Group (EPG)
~ As directed by the CAPP Safety Committee the HUEBA Task Force8 is being resurrected and tasked with finalizing implementation
7 The small risk of air embolism is difficult to quantify and virtually impossible to rule out, on any device, at any depth; according to medical expertise, this risk can exist with no device employed for some individuals. Two incidents of air embolism have been recorded in HUET training in the North Sea. These incidents are documented and neither resulted in significant or lasting impairment. Relative to the numbers of individuals trained on a compressed air device to date the incident rate has been near zero and can qualify as ALARP risk. S The HUEBA Task Force is assisted by a CAPP consultant, its membership includes representation from Survival Systems Training Ltd; Marine Institute; CAPP; CAODC; Petro-Canada; Husky; ExxonMobil; StatOn Hydro; EnCana; Cougar Helicopters; CHC Global Operations
EXHIBIT/P-00122
TIMELINE The CAPP and operator approval process for the recommendation (the first two bullets under 'next steps') is targeted for completion by the end ofJanuary 2009; the implementation of the device is targeted for Quarter 1 2009
