without the owner’s approval.

Introduction

In addition to the rules and procedures drawn up by Harsco Infrastructure B.V., several of our clients

have drawn up additional safety requirements and procedures.

If you deal with our principal, AJS offshore, apart from the Harsco Infrastructure rules and

procedures, those of our principal should also be taken into account.

A short summary of the additional requirements and procedures follow below.

AJS is commissioned by ONEgas, Shell and NAM, the following rules therefore are also partly from

Shell and NAM.

Golden rules There are 3 golden rules that help to implement the HSE policy, namely;

• We live these laws, standards and procedures.

• We intervene in unsafe situations outside of the rules.

• We respect our neighbours.

Life Saving Rules These are the twelve most important rules on all Shell locations globally because non-compliance

with these rules leads to most of the fatal accidents annually.

Disciplinary measures

Most of the rules will be quite familiar to employees who have worked at Shell Pernis and/or

Moerdijk. Eight of the twelve were in a certain sense already applied under the name ‘Cardinal

Safety Regulations’ since mid-2007.

With the Life Saving Rules (LSR) an offence is also thoroughly investigated and treated according to

the applicable regulation ‘Disciplinary Measures’.

Non-compliance with a Life Saving Rule results in the maximum applicable disciplinary measure

which could be applied, from an oral warning through termination of a labour agreement and for

contractors not being allowed to work for Shell any longer.

The maximum suitable disciplinary measures will be implemented when an employee or contractor

is aware of the Life Saving Rules as a result of training, experience and/or communication, and then

still does not comply with these.

‘Nothing is as important as a human life’

Medicine You have read in Chapter 6 that you should always report the use of any medication to your

supervisor and the planning but also to the supervisor of the platform. Furthermore, you are only

allowed to have the exact medication prescribed by a physician on you.

Even if you adhere to the above rules, the principal may still refuse to allow you to go offshore or

even send you away from the platform because the effects of your medication could endanger

others and/or the plant.

Health

You may not go offshore if you:

- are under the influence of alcohol or other narcotic agents (zero tolerance policy;

- have an infectious disease;

- are in a condition in which you cannot work safely;

Directions regarding Safety, Health and Environment posted on the

relevant notice board at the client, location or the plant should be followed.

It is important for everyone that these directions are available. If in doubt, consult the supervisor.

An infectious disease can spread extremely quickly in the closed quarters of the plant. Someone

who continues to work even though he/she is ill can pose a danger not only to himself, but also to

others. Therefore it is compulsory to report every disease immediately so that the necessary medical

assistance can be provided.

If you are on medication you must report this to Harsco Infrastructure planning. Harsco Infrastructure

planning will contact the principal to discuss whether the relevant medication allows flight and/or

working on a platform.

Directions regarding Safety, Health and Environment posted on the relevant notice board at the

client, location or the plant should be followed.

It is important for everyone that these directions are known. If in doubt contact the relevant

supervisor.

Training and courses All persons working on an Offshore location should undergo a prior medical examination which

may only be conducted by the therefore approved inspection physicians.

-Every person working at an Offshore location should at least have followed the following training

courses at the accredited institutes:

• Basic Offshore Safety Introduction & Emergency Response training (NOGEPA 0.5A)

• VCA-1

The expiry date of the medical examination is two years.

Supervisor personnel should have completed recognized trainings and courses on;

• Management.

• Health, Safety and Environment

• Shut-down and interruption of work

The results of these trainings and courses should be testable and verifiable.

All personnel should also comply with

Work permit All personnel should be familiar with the work permits and the accompanying system of the client.

Harsco Infrastructure provides relevant training courses at the offices in Beverwijk.

Before the work is started, all executive employees should be familiar with the content of the work

permit.

This is important so that all employees know what is expected from them in the area of health,

safety and environment and if there are any additional requirements apart from the standard

safety requirements.

If there are any other questions or doubts concerning the content of the work permit the granter of

the permit and/or the Harsco Infrastructure supervisor must always be contacted.

5. Safety inspection

Every passenger is searched for possession of the following articles before departure.

The safety personnel have the right to search all persons and baggage to guarantee safety.

6. Before you can go to the heli-platform, the HLO (Helicopter Landing Officer) will hand you a

lifejacket with an air pocket and if necessary provide you with instructions/assistance for use.

Hearing protection

Measurements have indicated that the noise level in helicopters reaches figures (90 - 100 dB (A)),

that could cause hearing damage.

Therefore you have to use ear plugs (preferably ear muffs), which are available next to the check-in

counter or your otoplasty.

Striking scaffolding connections creates a peak of 120 decibel, therefore if you work with these

activities or nearby you should wear your hearing protection at all times.

Boarding a helicopter

Safety instructions with regard to helicopters are presented and placed at all airports and at all

offshore plants. These directives could differ as there are many different types of helicopters. You

are obliged to read and understand these directives before boarding.

Follow all instructions of the helicopter crew when you board.

Approach and leave the helicopter as instructed, remain in sight of the pilot and stay as far as

possible from the start rotor (refer to page 10 and 11). All mobile telephones should be switched off

during the helicopter flight - follow the instructions of the HLO.

Hold on tight to all articles so they cannot be sucked into the rotor blades or the turbine. Do not

wear a helmet or a hat if you embark or disembark and carry all baggage as low as possible to

prevent contact with the rotor blades.

You have to wear proper shoes. This is to prevent damage to the sock of the suit and to limit the

tripping hazard. Slippers, Swedish clogs, etc. are not allowed.

Loose items such as newspapers and personal documents should be stored in the relevant pockets

of your survival suit.

Read all applied boards and safety instructions in the pocket of the chair in front of you and

remember where the emergency exit and fire extinguishers are located.

During the flight you should remain seated with the safety belts fastened. You may only loosen the

belts after the “fasten seatbelt” board has been switched off.

If the helicopter has to make an emergency landing remain seated, with the safety belts fastened.

If your belts are not fastened it is possible to be thrown from side to side during the emergency

landing, causing the pilot to lose control of the helicopter. The helicopter crew will provide

instructions in the event of any emergency.

Remain calm!

The HLO will assist you with your baggage. Be very careful not to come too close to the tail rotor. Do

not remove your life jacket in the helicopter but rather under the heli-deck of the platform.

Leave the heli-deck as soon as possible and follow the instructions of the helicopter landing officer

(with the orange vest). He can also provide the necessary assistance with carrying heavy

baggage.

Clear the way for departing passengers. Passengers firstly report to the check-in counter (radio-

control room, or HMI) to check in and to receive the general safety instructions.

It is strictly prohibited to have an activated mobile telephone in a helicopter. Only use the mobile

telephone on board with the authorization of HMI.

The work

We are expected to supply “expert work”; in other words scaffolding that meets all requirements.

Anchor scaffolding!

You should furthermore be able to work independently.

You are mostly paid per hour, therefore work at a good tempo.

Conduct

As a rule, all other codes of conduct that you know up to now also apply here.

* Wearing a (proper, approved) helmet, safety shoes, safety gloves and an overall is always

mandatory;

* Wearing a fall harness, swimming vest, safety glasses etc. is always mandatory in places where

this is necessary;

* Smoking is prohibited outside of the indicated locations and times;

* You are not allowed to bring in or consume alcohol;

* You should adhere strictly to the prescribed working times;

* You are not allowed to wear work clothing in dining and recreational areas;

* You must strictly adhere to all supervisors’ orders on the platform;

* Do not enter into a debate!!

* In the event of problems always contact the Harsco Infrastructure supervisor or manager

* You should also accept all work that you are capable of doing and for which you do not have

to be certified. If the scaffolding is ready, ask for other work. You must work all the hours until it is

time to depart,

* You must have safety goggles and hearing protection and it must be worn at all times and

wherever necessary ,

* The activities can start as soon as the permit (work permit) has been signed and discussed with

you and in the event of suspended and extended scaffolding, the ‘phased plan' has been

discussed and completed.

Equipment

Use all equipment correctly and in the event of possible shortages order the equipment in time as

delivery could take a few days. Try to find on-site solutions that do not affect the integrity of the

scaffolding.

When dismantling all materials should be sorted en bundled in containers ready for transport.

Smoking

It is strictly forbidden to smoke outside the living accommodation. It is even prohibited to carry a

lighter and cigarettes in areas where smoking is prohibited.

______________________________________________________________________________________________




Transport by boat

In the event of bad weather conditions the helicopter might not be able to fly.

In this case there is a possibility that you might travel by boat.

The transfer of personnel between the plant and the boat, using a “personnel basket”, is supervised

from the plant and from the boat. Follow the instructions carefully.

When returning to shore by boat you should leave your survival suit with the captain of the boat.

Return to Den Helder

* If possible, you should confirm your return flight the evening before you depart, at the check-in

counter. If you forget to do this, you risk having to stay on the plant longer.

* Report to the check-in counter at least 30 minutes prior to departure to confirm the flight

manifest and to retrieve your PSL.

Usually the departure time is announced 30 minutes before departure. You can also enquire into

the expected departure time.

* Before departure from the plant all passengers must collect at the check-in counter. After

getting into the survival suits the signal will be given to go to the heli-deck.

* Passengers wait nearby or under the heli-deck until the “helicopter landing officer” gives the

signal to board. Enter the heli-deck via the stairs where the helicopter crew are on duty.

* Follow the instructions of the helicopter landing officer when approaching the helicopter.

* Upon arrival at Den Helder it is possible that you will have to undergo the safety and customs

inspection again.

* Do not forget to hand over your survival suit at Peterson.

Finally

It can never be determined beforehand whether the activities will last 2, 3 or 5 days. Factors such

as storms, mist and possible emergency activities play a large role.

You should therefore accept that the activities could take longer or shorter than what was

planned.

Upon return you should bring the signed “timesheet” and deliver it to the office as soon as possible

(or mail to Harsco Infrastructure B.V. - Offshore Division , Reply number 316, 1970 VB IJMUIDEN,

postage stamp not necessary). Upon arrival also always phone the office, your demobilization is not

always known at Harsco Infrastructure B.V.

If there are any problems during the activities, as a result of the behaviour of the relevant parties,

Harsco Infrastructure B.V. has the right to take immediate appropriate measures to prevent the

relationship between Harsco Infrastructure B.V. and the principal from being disturbed.

Embarking and disembarking

A helicopter has some potentially dangerous components. One of these is the tail rotor. This should

be avoided at all times! This is done by paying attention to the following instructions; when

embarking and disembarking always approach the helicopter from the front or leave towards the

front, never around the back!

Please be so kind not to use the chassis as a tool when you embark or disembark.

1. Introduction

The purpose of this document is to specify the necessary checks and operations required for the transfer of personnel from the SNS Accommodation Vessel to a fixed installation via the Offshore Access System (OAS). The procedure covers the marine activities of the vessel, the correct way to approach a platform, deployment of the Offshore Access System (OAS) and the movement of personnel between the vessel and the fixed installation as well as the criteria for work in adverse weather.

During all activities, the ultimate responsibility for the safety of the vessel and on-board personnel lies with the Vessel Master. Consultation with OIM/HMI will take place for all activities inside the 500M zone. The OIM/HMI is responsible for coordination of safety within 500M zone.

2. Philosophy

The SNS accommodation vessel provides a means of transporting and transferring personnel to fixed installations in the Southern North Sea. The vessel will provide accommodation and welfare for personnel during the off duty period. The vessel will carry a team for manning of fixed installations and support services; activities carried out on the fixed installation will include: Planned maintenance activities, Minor improvement work, Production operations, Wells services activities. All supplies and equipment required for the visit will be transferred from the vessel to the fixed installation. Fixed installations with certified platform cranes will transfer shuttle container to / from vessel using the crane. Fixed installations, with no cranage will transfer equipment in suitable containers either by manual hoisting from platform or by carrying in backpack or other suitable container.

3. Methodology

Manning fixed installation

1. Permission to enter 500M zone from ICC/CCK 2. Satisfactory completion of relevant DP checklists 3. Vessel approach, to designated docking area, on DP after reviewing the approach drawing

(example incorporated in chapter 17 of this document) and determining docking position. 4. FRC crew are notified of impending transfer and placed on standby. 5. Deploy OAS as per procedure (see chapter 7) 6. OAS Operator to confirm OAS can be accessed by two nominated crew members to prepare

landing platform (on fixed installation). 7. For NUI’s: two nominated persons access the platform and confirm safe to fully man. 8. For NAI, confirmation is given by the platform representative (HMI/OIM). 9. DP Operator confirms OAS can be accessed by platform crew (use of traffic lights) 10. Full complement of crew transfer to fixed installation within maximum capacity of safety

equipment (POB) 11. Fixed installation crew (OIM/HMI) approve disconnection of OAS and withdrawal of vessel. 12. Transfer of shuttle container to fixed installation, if required. 13. Vessel disconnects and departs outside 500M zone

Confirm with ICC/CCK that transfers have been safely completed and vessel is leaving 500M

zone

4. Preparation for a visit to fixed installation

Establish team for visit, carryout toolbox talk explaining all the roles, responsibilities and tasks for the visit. Confirm that the weather conditions meets the criteria for a visit (ref. Chapter 15). Obtain a forecast and tidal predictions for the duration of the visit and confirm that the conditions are suitable for the visit to proceed. All food, drink and equipment required for the visit is available and packed in suitable container for transfer to the fixed installation (including helicopter survival suits). Food and equipment have to be sufficient for staff to have three unplanned overnight stays.

Advise field standby boat and field nodal platform of planned visits where applicable.

5. Pre approach activities

Prior to the vessel making an approach to the fixed installation the following actions must be completed.

Final confirmation that latest weather forecast and tidal predictions are suitable for the visit to proceed.

Select approach direction and landing platform to be used, using the approach drawings.

Contact any other vessels in the area that are supporting the fixed installations and confirm their movements. (Survey, diving support, standby and supply vessel).

Contact the control room at Bacton for UK NUI’s, Den Helder for NL NUI’s or the control room for NAI’s. Obtain confirmation that there are no hazards apparent on the fixed installation and obtain permission to enter the 500M zone of the platform. Request that foghorn be switched off.

Check all personnel have put on the necessary PPE and that the portable radios are working.

Complete relevant DP system checklists, as per the vessels DP manual.

6. Approach of vessel to fixed installation

At all times the vessel Master may at his discretion abort the activity if in his opinion the safety of the vessel or personnel is being compromised.

After obtaining permission to enter the Fixed Installation 500m zone, proceed to the nominated landing station in accordance with the Marine operations manual and the weather criteria (see chapter 15).

Communication between the OAS Operator and the Bridge is in place;. Advise Operator that OAS can be deployed. FRC crew are notified of impending transfer and placed on standby.

7. Deployment of OAS

The installation procedure is characterised by the following steps: NOTE: When the red traffic light is illuminated, no access on or to the OAS is permited

• Dismounting of the sea fastenings

• Rotation of the boom from its sea fastened position over approximately 90 degrees

• Simultaneously telescoping the boom to its working length

• As soon as the boom is outboard an automatic heave compensation system is activated which keeps the boom in a horizontal plane

• Turning the boom further until a contact between the fender on the telescope and the vertical interface bar on the structure of the fixed installation is made

• Retracting the telescopic part of the boom until the hydraulic hook grabs behind the vertical bar

• Closing the hook by activating the lock will automatically rotate the hook in a straight position.

• Lowering of the OAS until it reaches the landing platform on the fixed installation. When the platform is detected by the controls and when the telescope is in its working area, the OAS is automatically switched into its ‘floating’ mode.

• Manually traffic lights switched to yellow when the OAS is connected and in ‘floating’ mode.

• Lowering of the wings of the gripper platform, by the second OAS operator, whilst connected with a fall arrestor.

• Second OAS operator to confirm wings are in place, the OAS operator manually switches the traffic lights into flashing green. The OAS is safe to be accessed by two nominated crew members to prepare landing platform (on fixed installation).

More detailed instructions are in Fabricom procedure 72054711-OUT-0009-LT

8. Transfer of personnel from vessel to fixed installation (NUI)

NOTE max working load of OAS is 500Kgs. For normal operations only one person to cross the gangway at any one time.

All personnel transferring to the fixed installation should be assembled in the changing / store room located on the main deck, with all the necessary PPE donned for the transfer. In addition to the normal PPE (coverall, safety boots, helmet, gloves and eye and ear protection,), staff to be transferred needs to wear a life jacket, a PLB ( Personal Locator Beacon) and safety harness where applicable

• When gripper platform is confirmed in place (flashing green light), two nominated fixed installation crew will leave the changing room and proceed to the OAS.

• first person crosses the OAS and caries out a visual inspection of the landing platform for damage. If damage is apparent and safety is being compromised the person should return to the vessel. If landing platform is secure and visit can take place then the person can exit the OAS, install any temporary handrails required and confirms when the landing platform is safe to be accessed to the DP Operator. The DP Operator to confirm by activating the green light (non flashing)

NOTE: access onto the OAS, is only allowed when the GREEN light, on the gangway, is illuminated (non flashing). (except for the OAS operator and two nominated fixed installation crew)

The two personnel complete the access to the fixed installation, if vertical ladder is used only one person to be on the ladder at any one time.

Complete the pre-manning checklist of the specific NUI

When all checks are complete, confirm that the remainder of the personnel can transfer to the installation. Remainder of personnel leave the changing room, cross the OAS one at a time, and access the installation. When all personnel are safely on the fixed installation remove the temporary handrails and clear the landing platform of personnel, then the vessel should be advised that the disconnection of the OAS can commence.

9. Transfer of personnel from vessel to fixed installation (NAI)

Transfer of personnel onto a Normally Attended Installation is similar to the NUI except that the inspection of the landing platform will be carried out prior to permission being granted to approach the fixed installation and personnel can transfer to the NAI, without the need for a pre manning check. The preparations of the landing platform is performed by crew from the NAI. When ready, it is confirmed to the DP-Operator. The DP-Operator to confirm, by switching the traffic light to green.

10. Disconnection of the OAS

The OAS Operator releases the hydraulic hook lifts and rotates the OAS away from the landing platform and returns the OAS back into its rest. More detailed instructions are in Fabricom procedure-72054711-OUT-0009-LT

The vessel may now move away from the fixed installation.

11. Transfer of equipment container from vessel

NOTE: When OAS is connected to a fixed installation no crane movements may be performed.

The vessel will be required to approach the fixed installation to enable the installation crane to transfer the equipment container(s) from the vessel to the fixed installation. On completion of the transfer the vessel can depart the immediate vicinity of the fixed installation and stand-off at safe location outside the 500M zone.

12. Vessel in standby location

After completion of personnel transfer the vessel will depart the 500m zone and standby until demanning is required. During the standby period the vessel crew will monitor the fixed installation marine band working channel and the weather, if weather start to deteriorate unexpectedly then a review of the situation will determine if the fixed installation should be demanned earlier than planned.

13. Demanning fixed installation

Demanning of fixed installation is similar to the manning procedure

• Obtain permission to enter 500m zone from fixed installation HMI/OIM

• Satisfactory completion of relevant DP system checklists

• Fixed installation HMI/OIM advises ICC/CCK of commencement of demanning

• Transfer equipment containers to vessel

• Approach landing platform and deploy OAS

• FRC crew are notified of impending transfer and placed on standby.

• Personnel to depart fixed installation and return to vessel (one person on OAS at any one time) HMI/OIM to confirm all personnel returned to vessel

• Disconnect OAS

• Inform ICC/CCK, nodal installation and standby vessel that transfer is complete and departing 500m zone

• Request foghorn is switched on.

14. OAS preset motion alarm limits

If the OAS is approaching its preset motion alarm settings (= yellow area visible on the screens in the OAS operator Cabin and at the DP-Operator seat), the traffic lights are switched to yellow. When the yellow traffic light is illuminated the OAS must be abandoned immediately. When the OAS is cleared the OAS operator will manually switch the traffic lights to red. To continue the transfer of personnel, the OAS operator will switch the traffic lights to green (flashing). The DP operator to confirm.

15. Weather criteria

As part of the planned visit the weather forecast will be assessed taking into account the anticipated duration of the visit. Whilst the fixed installation is manned the vessel master will monitor the weather and if it starts to deteriorate unexpectedly, a review of the conditions will determine if the fixed installation should be demanned earlier than planned. Manning and/or demanning of an installation is not allowed and operations within 500 meters are to be aborted if:

• Significant wave height is above 2.5 meter

• The power being used (in total or by individual thrusters or engines) is above 60 percent in drift on situation.

• Vessel motion starts to affect station keeping

• There is ice formation on the access platform and/or on the ascending/descending system. The vessel may only be connected to the installation for transfer of personnel during daylight or when fit for purpose artificial lighting is in place The usage of artificial light is not allowed if significant wave height is above 2,0 meters When visibility is less than 100 meters abort operations and return outside 500 meter zone and maintain radar watch.

When mean wind speed is above 45 Knots / 9 Bft for personnel it is restricted to be outside the accommodation.

When there is likelihood of wave slap access to main cargo deck is restricted.

To avoid the ill effect of exhaust fumes from the vessel the following should be considered: 1. take notice of all air intakes on the platform; 2. check with platform (OIM/HMI) if problems may rise; 3. stop manning / demanning procedure if negative influences may occur.
