Travel must occur in compliance with the Statutes of the Province of BC governing vehicular traffic use.

The maximum allowable speed, unless otherwise posted on Shell roads is 60 km/hr.

All vehicles will slow down when meeting other vehicles or when passing maintenance equipment.

Minimize noise where possible (i.e. Jake brake use).

All vehicles will be operated according to road and weather conditions, at speeds that permit stopping within a safe stopping distance.

All vehicles must be equipped with a VHF (2-way) radio for communication purposes as all roads are “radio assisted”. Drivers must call kilometres, as required.

It is required that all drilling rig, service rig, frac moves or any oversized loads greater than 3.85 m (12’6) or 80T will be equipped with or have as a minimum lead pilot vehicle which is equipped with a VHF (2-way) radio for communication purposes and convoy management.

Proper radio use protocols will be observed. Absolutely no visiting, chatting or foul language will be tolerated on ANY channels.

Headlights are mandatory at all times. Driving lights and fog lights must be turned off when meeting oncoming traffic.

All vehicles shall maintain a safe following distance allowing for changing road conditions.

No vehicle shall park on any bridge or in the centre of any roadway or on any curve.

All signs, postings, notices, closures and barriers shall be observed and obeyed.

RULES

2

Drivers must obey any direction provided to them by the Groundbirch Logistics Coordinator, Road Monitor and/or any Shell Supervisor.

All vehicles will yield to heavy equipment and emergency vehicles.

Overtaking any Heavy Good Vehicles (large trucks) is not permitted unless radio communication is established.

All vehicle incidents, road hazards and/or other safety concerns are to be reported as soon as is reasonably possible.

The standard weight and load size (height/width) restrictions imposed by BC Ministry of Transportation apply to all roads, except where written permission from Shell permits otherwise.

All loaded trucks are expected to check their loads at designated areas for security and ensure that all loads are secure before transporting.

Ensure decks are clean and any load in or on any vehicle is adequately secured so that it will not scatter debris in case of a rollover.

Travel surface of road must be cleared and proper traffic control methods must be employed when loading or off loading equipment.

Chains may be required for extra traction during different times of the year. Improper use of chains may result in unnecessary road maintenance costs.

All vehicles must carry appropriate safety equipment (i.e. warning triangles, first aid kit, fire extinguisher, flashlight, etc.).

All vehicles working for Shell must incorporate the Shell Road Transport Standards and be in full compliance.

Shell may impose other restrictions as it deems appropriate.

3

“UP” and “DOWN” will be the terms used to identify travel direction. “UP” will be assigned in the direction of increasing kilometre signs; “DOWN” will be assigned in the direction of decreasing kilometre signs.

All users call the kilometre, travel direction, and road name (i.e. “2 km UP on the Stewart Lake Road”).

Vehicles travelling in the “UP” direction call every EVEN km and vehicles travelling in the “DOWN” direction call every ODD km.

Must call situations for both up and down travelling vehicles are:

When entering a new road system

At posted “Must Call” signs

Whenever there is a road frequency/channel change, or when leaving a road

Whenever you are stopping and parking on the road, and again when you resume

Whenever you encounter a vehicle traveling without a radio

BRITISH COLUMBIA RADIO CALLING PROTOCOLS

4

Protocols for Convoy calling:

The lead vehicle is responsible for calling for all vehicles in the convoy

It is the responsibility of the vehicle joining or leaving the convoy to inform and to receive confirmation from the lead vehicle

A vehicle more than 1 km behind the lead vehicle is no longer part of that convoy and must call their own position

A vehicle must be in sight of the vehicle in front of them or evidence that they are very close (dust, lights or turbulence) to be considered as part of a convoy

Prior to entering a road system, ask for a radio check.

When responding to a radio check, respond by indicating the signal strength and clarity:

When switching channels between road systems, request oncoming traffic indicate if “anyone is close”

Depending on the type and condition of the road, the amount of traffic, the type of animal, and the condition of the driver:

Pull off the road

Turn on hazard lights

Illuminate the animal with your headlights

You may choose to carefully approach the animal to determine if it is dead or injured

If it is injured, back off. A wounded animal can be very dangerous

Call the Conservation Officer Service if there is a dead or injured animal to report. In BC: 1-877-952-7277

WHAT SHOULD DRIVERS DO IF THEY HAVE A COLLISION WITH WILDLIFE?

12

IN THE EVENT OF WITNESSING ANY INJURY OR ILLNESS THE FOLLOWING STEPS SHALL BE FOLLOWED:

Survey the scene and ask yourself the following:

What happened?

How many people are injured?

Is it safe for me to help?

Call for help:

Over the radio, broadcast “Medic, Medic, Medic!”

Identify your location

Follow the advice of the medic and administer first aid (unless already trained and are comfortable to administer)

13

THERE IS NO SUITABLE SUBSTITUTE:

COMMON KNOWLEDGE = COMMON SENSE

Road conditions will vary during each day as will the volume of traffic. Stay alert and be prepared for the unexpected.

Most of the travel done in this area will be on narrow roads, in various driving conditions, utilizing heavy equipment occasionally in the dark. The combination of these elements creates a high hazard potential; therefore, strict adherence to the policies in this guidance booklet is required.

All roads should be clearly marked with kilometre markers, direction of travel, and road name.Pay attention to the road you are travelling on, the relevant radio frequency and comply with the Radio Calling Protocol outlined in this booklet. Obey the posted speed limits. If there are no posted speed limit signs, the maximum speed should not exceed the condition of the road.

In the absence of a speed sign on a public road, the speed limit is 80 km/hr.

REMEMBER: ALWAYS DRIVE TO THE CONDITIONS OF THE ROAD!

14

COMMUNITY RELATIONS

Heavy Good Vehicles and Light Duty Vehicles are to yield to buses.

To mitigate community concerns surrounding traffic, Shell aims to work with communities to take timing into consideration, minimizing large truck traffic during certain times.

15

LOAD SECUREMENT OVERHANG

Overhang means the distance measured from the centre of the axle(s) of a full trailer, pony trailer, semi-trailer or truck to the rearmost point of the vehicle including load.

The length of the tractor/trailer combination and the load cannot exceed the licenced overall truck length

Maximum Height: 4.15m (13.6ft)

Maximum Width: 2.6m (8.5ft)

Maximum Length – Body Job: 12.5m (41ft)

Maximum Length – Single Trailer: 16.2m (53ft)

Overall Length Single or Tandem Drive: Max. 23.0m;

Tridem Drive: Max. 23.5m

Overall Truck Length Max. 12.5m

Semi-trailer Length Max. 16.2m

Kingpin Setback Max. 2.0m radius

Max. Height 4.15m

Max. Height 4.15m

Rear Overhang Max 35% of trailer wheelbase or 4m (whichever is less)

Rear Overhang Max 4m

16

QUESTIONS TO ENSURE A SECURE LOAD

Is the load prepared for movement and all paperwork complete and ready? (i.e. the appropriate permits, bill of lading etc.)?

Is the load secured with two tiedown devices in the first 3.04m and at least one every additional 3.04m or fraction of 3.04m thereafter?

Tiedowns have no knots, damage or weakened components that will adversely affect their performance for cargo securement purposes, and no cracks or cuts?

Are straps serviceable nylon at least 2” wide to secure smaller cargo inside baskets and truck beds? (i.e. hot shots, trucks, etc.).

Is the grade of chain sufficient for the weight of the load? (Combined Working Load Limit should equal half of the total weight of the cargo).

Is the truck or trailer equipped with a “front-end structure” that meets the definition? (as high as the load and minimum 1.22m above the deck and the width of the vehicle and load).

17

QUESTIONS TO ENSURE A SECURE LOAD(continued)

Does the chain have visible grade markings?

Are loads shorter than 1.52m weighing more than 500kgs secured with at least two tiedowns?

Are ratchet-style load binders used to secure cargo with chains?

Are straps serviceable nylon and at least 4” wide to secure items on trailer decks?

Do all tie downs have legible Working Load Limit markings?

Has the driver examined the cargo and load securement devices once within the first 80km and every 240km or three hours driving time (whichever comes first)?

18

QUESTIONS TO A SAFE FLUID TRANSFER

Are wheel chocks required?

Is valve alignment correct? (i.e. drains closed)

Are ground cables connected?

Have all pressure and vacuum hazards been checked / managed?

Is secondary containment in place?

Have fluid levels been checked to prevent overfilling?

Has the OSR been informed of the fluid transfer?

Are there any ignition sources? Cell phone? Flares / Pilot lights? Cigarettes?

Can communication be maintained at all times? Radio? Hand signals?

Will you be able to avoid distractions that will take your attention away from the fluid transfer?

Are spill response materials available? Spill kit? Absorbents? Shovel?

19

Road safety takes a group effort, and now we can collectively do more to help by reporting unsafe driving behavior to a new, toll-free hotline.

Active in all North American UAU assets (Groundbirch, Gundy, Deep Basin, Fox Creek, Gold Creek, Rocky Mountain House, Permian, Foothills and Appalachia), the Bad Actor Hotline allows individuals to report unsafe driving acts or behaviors by any type of driver or vehicle operator observed on public and private roads.

The information gathered through the hotline will help Shell identify trends and act on them to improve road safety.

If you observe a driver performing an unsafe act or behavior, you are encouraged to call the toll free BAD ACTOR HOTLINE: 1-800-586-8449

This number can be added to cell phone contact lists for ease of use, and used to phone in your observation upon completion of your journey or when it is safe to do so.

BAD ACTOR HOTLINE

20

When calling, the following information will be requested:

Name and contact info of the caller or callers can remain anonymous

The Shell business or asset where the caller works

Any details about the incident and vehicle involved that you were able to safely observe

Unsafe driving acts or behaviors can include:

Drivers not adhering to local laws/regulations

Vehicles not maintaining a safe following distance

Proper radio use protocols not being observed

Distracted driving

Vehicle not slowing down when meeting oncoming traffic or when passing road maintenance equipment

Driving without headlights on

Unsecured items on trucks (i.e. loose buckets or shovels)

21

When appropriate and in order to help the wider community with road safety, Shell will share information with the following:

Oil and gas companies, as well as companies in other industries, operating in the area

Companies contracting with Shell

Local law enforcement agencies (note that Shell cannot guarantee an event will be followed up by these agencies)

Road-related incidents pose serious threats to people, and each one of us can help make a difference and reach Goal Zero. The hotline is not about punishing individuals, but about intervention. It is intended to raise the standard of driving and call attention to those who are endangering others on the roads we have to share safely.

For any questions related to the Bad Actor Hotline for Unconventionals, please contact:
