1.0 TALOS HEALTH, SAFETY AND ENVIRONMENTAL (HSE) POLICY

Talos Energy, LLC is committed to the health, safety, and welfare of our employees, contractors, visitors,

and the public. This is our number one priority and the foundation of our core values.

Our leadership creates a culture that promotes a strong Health, Safety, and Environmental organization.

We believe that all incidents are preventable and working incident/injury-free is possible.

Talos Energy, LLC is committed to protecting our natural resources and reducing any negative impact to

the environment across our operations, including air, water, and waste.

Our commitment to environmental excellence is to promote the protection of our environment through

responsible work ethic, clear policies, measurable goals, and effective waste management practices and

we expect the same commitment from our contractors and vendors.

We commit to protect our country's natural resources, care for the environment, and comply with all

applicable local, state, and federal laws and regulations as part of our daily operations.

We will move quickly to rectify any environmental problems associated with our operations and address

any issues that arise.

We will provide the human, physical, and financial resources to achieve our environmental protection

objectives. We expect our employees, contractors, suppliers, and vendors to do the same to ensure our

operations are clean and safe.

We make it a priority to handle, transport, and dispose of waste generated from our operations according

to applicable regulations.

We aspire to continually improve our performance and redefine world class Health, Safety, and

Environmental excellence.

Our work is never so urgent or important that we cannot take time to do it safely.

Everyone is empowered and obligated to raise concerns and implement Stop Work Authority (SWA)

without fear of retaliation or intimidation.

Violation of domestic or foreign laws and regulations may subject an individual, as well as the Company,

to civil and/or criminal penalties. Employees have an obligation to comply with all laws, regulations,

policies, and procedures and to promptly alert management of any deviation from them. If you are not

sure, stop and ask.

We strive to achieve full compliance with regulatory requirements and minimize our operational “footprint”

on the environment. Given the nature of acquiring older properties, we are often faced with the challenge

of correcting existing adverse environmental issues while minimizing future impacts. In an effort to ensure

compliance with federal, state, and local regulations, as well as company policies and procedures,

continual inspections are conducted to identify and generate corrective actions.

Drug Free Workplace Policy 1.1.

Talos Energy is committed to providing a safe, healthy and productive workplace while protecting the wellbeing of all employees. The Company recognizes that drugs and alcohol can affect an individual’s performance and pose a significant threat to our goals. We strictly prohibit the use, consumption, sale, possession, receipt or distribution of any illegal or unauthorized drugs or drug paraphernalia on Company premises, leases or facilities. Violation of this policy will result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. The Company reserves the right to drug test under the following circumstances:

• Applicants who have been given a conditional offer of employment and prior to employment; • At the start or completion of any shift at the Company’s discretion; • When the Company has reasonable suspicion that there is a violation of this policy; or • Post-accident testing with reasonable suspicion or after a significant event.

If you are on the Company premises and appear to be under the influence of, using, selling or distributing such drugs, you will be suspended immediately pending further investigation. All information regarding drug testing will be maintained in confidential records. Any employee who refuses to submit to or tests positive for a drug test will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including immediate termination of employment. All illegal substances may be turned over to the appropriate law enforcement agency and result in criminal prosecution. Talos Energy L.L.C. (the “Company”) is committed to providing a safe workplace for our employees and contractors. Prescription and over-the-counter drugs are not prohibited when taken in standard dosage and/or according to a physician’s prescription. If an employee brings prescription drugs into the Company’s facility, the medication must be in the bottle or container in which it was originally dispensed and must be prescribed to the individual. If you are taking prescribed or over- the-counter medications, you will be responsible for notifying your supervisor if the medication may interfere with safe performance of your job. If the use of a medication could compromise your safety or the safety of fellow employees or the public, it is your responsibility to inform the Company so as to avoid unsafe workplace practices. As part of that commitment, the Company requires that offshore employees and contractors disclose all prescription drugs and over-the-counter (“OTC”) medicines that may impair their ability to perform their duties safely prior to entering a platform, lease, or property. Entering the Company’s property constitutes the consent to searches and inspections. If an individual is suspected of violating the drug-free work place policy, he or she may be asked to submit to an inspection at any time. Searches may include pockets and clothing, lockers, domiciles, wallets, purses, briefcases, lunchboxes, company vehicles and equipment, desks and work stations. If an employee refuses to allow the Company to search your property or person, he or she will be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. Company functions and business related events may, from time-to-time, present an opportunity for you to consume alcoholic beverages. When alcohol is permitted, you will continue to be expected to act in a professional and respectful manner toward others and will also be expected to continue to behave in accordance with Company policies. Under such circumstances, you recognize and agree that you are solely responsible for and in control of your own actions, and will abide by all laws related to the consumption of alcohol.

2.0 INTRODUCTION

Purpose 2.1.

The purpose of this Safe Work Practices (SWP) manual is to establish safety and environmental objectives,

goals, and performance measures. These Safe Work Practices and the SEMS work together to accomplish a

comprehensive Safety and Environmental Management System that will enable Talos to achieve excellence in

health, safety, and environmental management.

The safety and well-being of all personnel working at every Talos location is a top priority. A healthy environment

and safe workplace are critical to our overall business success.

This manual outlines the basic health, safety, and environmental requirements. A manual of this size cannot

encompass all requirements for every situation, but does provide a set of rules that, if applied properly will protect

people, the environment, and our assets. This manual is not intended to replace programs, procedures, and

guidelines that are in place to support site-specific work practices, but will serve as a guide to those more detailed

documents.

This SWP manual follows the most current provisions of any applicable Federal, State, or Local regulations of

Flag State requirements.

Our challenge is to continually improve our SWP performance. If situations arise that are not covered by this

manual, discuss them with your supervisor, and seek clarification on what is expected.

Scope 2.2.

This SWP manual applies to operations of Talos Energy, LLC (Talos) and all operating subsidiaries, including

Energy Resources Technology GOM (ERT), Talos Energy Offshore (TEO), and Talos Gulf Coast Onshore

(TGCO).

Objective 2.3.

The objective of this manual is to work in conjunction with the Talos Safety and Environmental Management

System (SEMS) documents to establish a comprehensive company HSE management program.

Talos is committed to protecting the safety and well-being for all of its personnel. A healthy environment and safe

workplace are critical to our overall business success.

This manual outlines the basic HSE requirements. This manual does not cover all requirements for every

situation, but does provide a set of rules that when applied properly will protect our people, the environment, and

our assets.

The objective of this manual is to serve as a guide in support of the programs, procedures, and guidelines that are

currently in place and in support of site-specific work practices and detailed documents.

This manual compliments conformance to governmental and local HSE rules and regulations and serves as a

reference source for maintaining uniform HSE practices.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 4 of 110



Talos recognizes that in the workplace conditions may arise, which are not covered by this manual, and

Page: 5 of 110



2.4.2. Employee Responsibilities

It is critical to the success of the Talos philosophy that each employee recognize that everyone has a personal

and joint responsibility with his or her supervisor to contribute to a safe work performance. All company and

contractor employees must be able to safely and acceptably perform assigned duties without any limitations due

to health or the use or effects of alcohol, illicit drugs, fatigue, or medications.

Employee responsibilities include:

Review, familiarize, and comply with Talos HSE programs, procedures, and guidelines.

supervisor.

Accepting the obligation and responsibility to make and keep the workplace safe and free of recognized

hazards.

Learning the hazards of each job and take the necessary precautions and make suggestions for

corrective actions or improvements.

Assisting less experienced personnel to work safely and understand Talos' HSE expectations.

2.4.3. HSE Advisor Support Functions

Talos utilizes HSE Advisors in field locations to provide onsite HSE support to Operations personnel. Support

comes in various forms:

Onsite coaching

Internal audits

Incident investigation

Training

Onsite support during major well work and major construction work (For any of these tasks, the HSE

representative can be either a Talos HSE advisor or third party HSE consultant).

Major Well Work

Major well work occurs with the use of blowout preventers (BOP), and tubular handing during the

following:

Drill rig activities

Snubbing Unit or Casing Jacks

Coil Tubing (no tubular handling required)


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 6 of 110



Major Construction Work

Major construction work occurs during the following:

Removal or installation of skid packages

Internal or external hot work repairs on vessels

Heavy lifts – defined as 75 percent of the crane capacity at the operating radius

Platform installation or removal

3.0 INCIDENT REPORTING

An incident is an unexpected event that typically happens with no advance warning. The nature of the incident

dictates the action that follows. All incidents must be reported, and shall include but not be limited to the following:

Occupational injury or illness

Non-occupational injury or illness

First aid

Fatality

Fire

Leak or spill

Mystery sheen

Material loss

Man overboard

Lost time accident

Restricted work

Medical

Refused treatment

Crane incidents, including personnel and material handling

Vehicle incident

Vessel incident

Employees must immediately report any occupational injury or illness to their supervisor, no matter how slight the

injury or illness may be. The supervisor shall review the circumstances related to the injury or illness and

complete an IRT Report as soon as possible, preferably on the same day as the incident.

Contractors shall provide the Talos site supervisor with an immediate verbal report of every injury and/or illness.

The site supervisor shall review the injury and/or illness and complete an IRT Report.

Serious injury or illnesses (fatality or multiple injuries) must be reported by phone as soon as possible to the

Houston office, which will in turn notify the appropriate authorities. Names and addresses of witnesses to


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 7 of 110



accidents or injuries must be included on the report.

The reporting of an incident does not constitute an incident investigation; it is only an initial report of the facts

known at the time the incident occurred. An incident investigation may be conducted, as determined by the

severity or potential severity of the incident. External reports may be required by governmental agencies.

Refer to Talos Energy SEMS Manual, Talos-COMP-0001 Section 2.11 Incident Investigation for more information

on incident investigation and follow-up.

Medical Case Management 3.1.

The following procedures have been developed to enhance the overall actions to be taken by offshore employees

prior to, during, and following a case where medical intervention (non-occupational illnesses and work-related

injuries) is or may be required. The purpose is to provide specific information to offshore personnel with the intent

that they apply the sequence of actions as may become necessary to ensure that all medical intervention cases

are well managed.

3.1.1. Talos Offshore Employee/Contractor Responsibilities

All employees, whether they are corporate officers, foreman/PICs, operators or contractors have very defined

responsibilities where they must:

Take reasonable care to protect the health and safety of themselves and others while working.

Cooperate with Talos for the purposes of protecting the health and safety of themselves and others

offshore where work is being carried out

Participate in the training provided by Talos and that provided by contractors and applying that training

while performing work offshore

Immediately report conditions and acts that will compromise the health and safety of them or others.

Utilize Stop Work Authority if they believe on reasonable and probable grounds that they would be placing

themselves or others in imminent danger. Imminent danger means in relation to any occupation where a

danger is not normal for that occupation, or a danger for which they would not normally perform that act.

Report all acute illnesses or injuries to Talos as soon as practicable.

3.1.2. Offshore Employee Consequence (Reasons for Prevention)

It is critically important that all employees fulfill their health and safety responsibilities. Consequences of

nonconformance to HSE policies, procedures and practices can unnecessarily lead to illness and injury amongst

other types of loss.

While there is an obvious personal loss to an illness or injured person that is easily recognized by, frustration,

pain and the ability perhaps to remain active, many other hidden losses occur as well, such as:

Loss of worth - many people who get hurt while at work, may feel like they have let their co-workers down,


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 8 of 110



or perhaps that they may be blamed by their employer or family members for getting hurt;

Loss of control - people display symptoms of stress in different ways. Someone who loses their ability to

drive perhaps may feel that they have lost a very important freedom. They may display frustration, anger,

or even behaviors associated with violence.

Loss of activity- people who get hurt may not be able to perform activities as they'd expected they'd be

able too. They may not be able to go shopping, take walks or vacations or they may not be able to

participate in events like sports or other such social activities.

3.1.3. Organizational Consequence (Reasons for Prevention)

Talos is held accountable for implementing Health & Safety measures offshore that protect the health, safety, and

security of our employees, contractors and visitors offshore, as well as the environment.

In order to fulfill that responsibility, Talos must continually strive towards the fulfillment of due diligence by

providing employees and contractors with the tools, training and job knowledge needed in order for those to

perform their jobs in a healthy and safe manner. When an employee or contractor gets hurt there are many real

and potential consequences for Talos, such as:

Loss of production - when an employee or contractor gets hurt, there may not be anyone immediately

available to finish their work. This can result in lost production and lost revenue.

Loss of operation - the site where an employee becomes injured may have to be cordoned off, until an

incident investigation is completed. This may prevent Talos from fulfilling our commitments to the

organization and investors.

Loss of morale +Talos can sometimes be blamed by employees or contractors for not doing enough to

prevent harm to people. That belief amongst employees can undermine morale and become detrimental

to meeting operational goals.

Reputation and external relations - in some cases, the relationship Talos has with governmental agencies

can face reputational risk. Health and safety issues that come to the government's notice can be

detrimental to existing relationship, which can over time erode the trust and create negative perceptions

between the two parties.

Incident investigations - Talos is responsible for fully investigating all incidents related to real or potential

harm that may impact the health, safety and security of employees and contractors or harm to the

environment. In each case, Talos must expend resources in order to fully investigate and apply

corrective/preventive actions to prevent reoccurrence.

Penalties - Talos can be financially penalized for not reporting injuries to governing bodies such as

regulatory groups and Workers Compensation Boards/Commissions.

3.1.4. Third-Party Management of Non-Occupational Illnesses & Occupational Injuries


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 9 of 110



Talos has retained WorkCompvidence (WCV) to provide more immediate and more effective healthcare in the

management of work related injuries and non-work related illnesses. When a non-life threatening injury/illness

occurs the following protocol will be followed:

1. The injured/ill employee will immediately report the incident to the Talos PIC and contractor

representative if applicable.

2. The PIC will initiate a telephonic medical consultation with WVC by calling 844-762-8928.

3. WCV will conduct an interview with the impacted employee/contractor to determine whether the issue is

work related or not and whether it is an emergency. If the issue is not an emergency and mild in nature

the impacted individual will participate in the telephonic medical consultation and follow WVCs advice for

treatment. Most employees/contractors will recover by themselves using over-the-counter and readily

available treatments. WVC will follow-up with the individual as needed to ensure sufficient recovery.

4. If the issue is not an emergency, WCV may recommend transportation by boat for treatment onshore.

Examples of conditions that could require boat transportation may include, but are not limited to, the

following:

a. Lacerations that are not actively bleeding

b. Major joint injuries with significant pain

c. Severe, persistent eye irritation

d. Infectious conditions with fever & chills

e. Severe, persistent toothaches

f. Severe, persistent skin rashes

5. If the issue is an emergency WCV will recommend transportation by helicopter for treatment onshore.

Examples of conditions requiring helicopter transportation may include, but are not limited to, the

following:

a. Disorientation or transient loss of consciousness

b. Severe, persistent chest Pain

c. Severe shortness of breath

d. Head injuries with severe lingering symptoms

e. Obvious bone deformities

f. Kidney Stones

g. Bleeding that is temporarily controlled

6. In extreme emergency situations Medivac transportation may be required. It is important to consider

heliport size and weight limits for helicopters used for the evacuation. Additional factors to consider are

the ability for the helicopters to land on older platforms and fuel requirements. In some cases, it will be

more feasible to transport ill/injured personnel by boat to a larger deck nearby, which could require a


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 10 of 110



boarding agreement if not operated by Talos. Examples of conditions requiring Medivac Transport include

the following:

a. Head trauma involving active loss of consciousness

b. Uncontrolled arterial bleeding

c. Perforating eye injuries

d. Serious spine injuries involving paralysis

e. Injured person cannot sit up on their own

7. Cost associated with WCV services will be absorbed by the organization the impacted individual works

for.

3.1.5. Offshore Assessment of First Aid/Medical Response Equipment

Talos will periodically assess offshore capabilities for the treatment of common injuries and illnesses. The

assessment will include the following components:

1. Evaluate injury/illness trends over the past few years

2. WCV to visit a sample of offshore platforms to evaluate space of storage of first aid/medical response

equipment and existing means of communication.

3. WCV to determine what first aid equipment and over-the-counter medications must be provided on all

offshore platforms.

4. WCV to evaluate qualifications and capabilities of first responders offshore as well as occupational

medicine clinics or urgent care centers used to treat work-related injuries and non-occupational illnesses

for Talos employees. Contractors are responsible for performing this evaluation for the clinics/urgent care

centers their employees utilize.

4.0 PERSONNEL SAFETY

Offshore Transportation Safety 4.1.

The offshore environment can present unique hazards. This section provides an overview of travel to and from

offshore platforms and rigs.

4.1.1. Reporting in at the Shore Base

Specific requirements for reporting in at the Shore Base are as follows:

Report to the dispatcher or gate guard at the shore base or dock to arrange transportation, which will be

If you are not given a site-specific orientation, ask for one.

Listen carefully to all instructions as platform or rig procedures are explained:

Your assigned station and duties

Emergency alarms and procedures, exit routes, and emergency reporting locations,

You should become familiar with the Station Bill and structure, if authorized.

Do not throw anything overboard and follow all rules for pollution prevention.

Immediately report any leaking oil, gas, or other hazards to the facility PIC

4.1.3. Offshore Helicopter Safety

This section addresses general precautions needed in offshore helicopter situations. The pilot will give a preflight

briefing on the specific helicopter and can answer any additional questions you have for the flight offshore.

Non-emergency helicopter night flights and long-line operations require supervisor’s approval. Contact your safety

department representative for special precautions for both operations.

4.1.3.1. Precautions

When boarding or disembarking the helicopter:

(See Figure 1 Helipad Diagram below)


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 12 of 110



Keep clear of the landing zone (LZ) or helipad until the helicopter has landed.

On offshore structures, passengers must not stand on heliport until pilot gives the signal that the aircraft

has safely landed and it is ready to be safely approached and boarded by passengers.

Never walk under the tail rotor or tail boom of the helicopter.

Do not touch any exterior part of the helicopter except door handles.

Bend over when approaching or departing the helicopter.

Always be aware of the main rotor.

4.1.3.2. During Helicopter Operations

Only the pilot or trained personnel shall refuel the helicopter.

Helicopters shall not land on offshore structures that are operating under radio silence.

All cargo shall be secured in baggage compartment of aircraft or tied down before takeoff.

Never carry blasting caps and blasting agents (dynamite) in the aircraft at the same time.

When carrying any explosive substance, ensure it is in a proper container with authorized labels.

Helicopters shall not land on offshore structures that are operating cranes. Before the helicopter can land

the crane operator must:

Secure the load.

Position and secure the boom against swinging so that there will be no interference with flight operations; boom down if possible.

Signal the pilot that the crane is secure.

The crane operator should not be at the control station during landing or takeoff operations, unless in direct contact with the helicopter pilot.

Cell phone use is prohibited during flight.

4.1.4. Boat Safety

The Talos protocol for transferring personnel to or from a platform or vessel is as follows:

All personnel transferred to or from a vessel, must participate and sign off on the Talos JSA for the respective

platform and vessel.

Each vessel must confirm completion of an “Approved” JSA, and that all personnel involved in the transfer from

the vessel have participated in reviewing the JSA, and signed off on the appropriate page.

Vessels may use a version of their respective company JSA form as long as it meets or exceeds the minimum

requirements. The form must be scanned and submitted to the Talos HSE & Regulatory Compliance department

for approval prior to use.

Only after the required documentation and safety measures are met, can the transfer take place.

Personnel transferring from the vessel will review and sign the approved JSA completed by the vessel, and that

was previously approved by Talos management. When the platform confirms all appropriate safety risks are

identified with acceptable measures documented in the respective JSA, the personnel transfer activities can

begin.

The captain is in complete charge of the boat, passengers, loading and unloading procedures, storage of

luggage and cargo, seating arrangements, transportation of fish or ice chests, and smoking restrictions.

The captain has the complete authority to refuse passage to anyone.

CAUTION: NO SMOKING OR OPEN FLAME IS ALLOWED WITHIN 100 FEET OF AN OFFSHORE STRUCTURE WITHOUT ISSUANCE OF A HOT WORK PERMIT.

Follow the boat captain’s instructions.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 14 of 110



Provide the captain with all information requested at the time of boarding. This includes, but is not limited

to your name, company affiliation, destination, and materials.

Disembarking to or from a boat and offshore structures in open water is potentially hazardous. A Type I,

Type III, or Type V personal flotation device (PFD) must be worn, snugly fitted, and securely fastened

during personnel transfer by personnel basket or by swing rope.

Transfer by personnel basket: (Reference 0

Hoisting Personnel for Marine Transfer)

Position yourself on the deck of the boat out from under basket as directed by the captain.

The basket will be lowered onto the deck of the boat from the structure or rig platform.

When it is on the deck, place your luggage in the bottom center of the personnel basket.

Place one foot on the outside rim of the basket and grasp the basket ropes securely.

Keep your knees bent or flexed, and be prepared for the unexpected moves, particularly in rough seas.

As the basket is lifted off the boat deck, step onto the outside rim of the basket with the other foot.

Stand straight; do not lean in or out.

Transfer by the swing rope:

CAUTION: DO NOT CARRY LUGGAGE WHILE TRANSFERRING BY SWING ROPE.

Wait for the boat to maneuver to a safe position for transfer as determined by the boat captain.

Have both hands and arms free.

Catch the knotted rope when the boat is at the top of a swell and swing to the structure by pushing off from the boat with your feet.

Do not allow the swing rope get between your legs.

Always keep feet and legs clear of the structure’s landing.

In the event a person falls into the water, immediately inform the boat captain by shouting, “Man

Overboard” while maintaining visual contact with person in the water.

Assist in the rescue as directed by the captain.

4.1.5. Survival Craft

Survival craft or capsules are provided on many marine vessels, platforms, and all mobile drilling rigs. Appropriate

personnel shall be trained in the maintenance and use of survival crafts and capsules, and regular drills shall be

conducted.

Precautions include:

Always don the life jacket before entering the survival craft.

Do not operate release mechanism before reaching the water.

Do not tow the survival craft unless it is equipped with an approved towing package.

Once inside the survival craft, personnel should stay seated with their seat belts fastened.

The PIC of the boat is the person driving the boat. All passengers are required to follow that person’s

instructions.

Personal Protective Equipment 4.2.

This section provides information regarding policies and guidelines for personal protective equipment (PPE) that

must be followed at all times.

PPE is crucial to safety on the jobsite and establishes a barrier between the worker and hazards. PPE does not

eliminate hazards. PPE is used only if hazards cannot be addressed with engineering and administrative controls.

Workers need to be aware of conditions requiring PPE in their work area. PPE should be selected based on the

potential hazards and risk involved, and worn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Make sure the PPE is

approved for the hazard involved.

Workers should follow the more stringent of contractor’s and operator’s PPE requirements. Operators shall

provide contractors with Safety Data Sheets or other information about specific PPE needs for special situations.

Talos requires hard hats, safety glasses (with side shields), FRCs and steel toed shoes for all jobs. This policy

shall be maintained by everyone at Talos Energy while working or visiting an offshore facility.

4.2.1. PPE Training

PPE should be worn whenever personnel are on the job site and actively working. Employees shall be trained on:

When and where PPE is necessary

How to properly don, duff, wear and make adjustments

Limitations of the PPE

Proper care and maintenance, useful life and disposal of the PPE

Each affected employee shall demonstrate an understanding of the required training and the ability to use PPE

properly before being allowed to perform work requiring the use of PPE. If the supervisor has reason to believe

that any affected employee who has been trained does not have the understanding and skill required then the

employee must be retrained.

4.2.2. Work Attire

Appropriate clothing should be worn at all times. Loose or poorly fitted clothing should not be worn. Personnel

should not work in clothing that is saturated with any flammable, hazardous, or irritating substance(s). Such

clothing should be immediately removed and replaced with suitable clothing after the affected skin area has been

thoroughly washed and, if necessary, treated.

The wearing of jewelry is not permitted offshore. The only exception are for medical bracelets which should be of

the ‘open copper’ type or close fitting and covered by clothing and PPE, such as coveralls and wrist watches with

breakaway bands.

Other jewelry such as body piercings is only permitted where the jewelry is continuously and completely covered

by clothing such as coveralls or catering jackets. Wrist watches must be removed when working with moving

equipment and machinery.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 16 of 110



Personnel with hair of such length as to be a hazard in work areas should keep it contained in a suitable manner

while performing their duties. Hair and beard styles shall not interfere with the effective functioning of head, eye,

face, or respiratory protective equipment, if such equipment is required at the work site.

4.2.3. Head Protection/Hard Hats

Hard hats provide protection against impact of falling objects and are designed to provide maximum impact

protection for the head. They need to be inspected daily or prior to each use.

ANSI Type I is the most common. Type I and II are generally considered acceptable. Talos prefers Class E, Type

I.

Hard hats are often good for only three (3) to five (5) years after put into service; refer to manufacture date. They

can become brittle due to wear and tear and sun exposure. Replace a hard hat as soon as it cracks, breaks,

fades, or is damaged. When in doubt, replace it.

Workers need to be aware of the following:

Metal hard hats and bump caps are prohibited.

Hard hats are not to be worn tipped forward, backward or to one side.

The headband or “suspension system” is to be adjusted to the proper size to provide sufficient clearance

between the shell and the headband. The suspension system is not to be modified or altered in any way.

Objects are not allowed to be carried or stored between the headband and head. This will defeat the

effectiveness of the suspension system.

Ball caps are not to be worn under hard hats as it allows the hard hat to fit too loosely on the head and

the suspension protection is lost.

When used, install winter liners per the manufacturer’s instructions.

Use soap and water to clean hard hats (not solvents or similar substances).

Holes for ventilation should not be punched in a hard hat. The holes weaken the stability of the plastic

causing a “stress” which is easily defeated during an impact.

Hard hats are not to be painted or modified in any way.

Hairstyles that make it impossible for a worker to properly wear a hard hat are not permitted.

4.2.4. Foot Protection

Sturdy work shoes with steel toes, non-slip soles, and oil and chemical resistant soles are generally worn in all

drilling and production operations and gas plant locations. Shoes and Boots need to meet ASTM F2412-05 and

ASTM 2413-05.

Do not wear shoes with taps, protruding nails, or abnormally high heels.

Inspect shoes or boots regularly and replace them when they are damaged or no longer provide

adequate protection.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 17 of 110



4.2.5. Hand Protection

All Talos employees, contractors, and subcontractors need to wear gloves when they are exposed to hand

hazards such as:

Absorption of harmful substances

Severe cuts or lacerations

Severe abrasions

Punctures

Chemical burns

Thermal burns

Harmful temperature extremes

Impact hazards (i.e. pinch points, caught in or between, struck by, etc.)

Know your environment and make sure you are using the right glove for the job. Do not use gloves that fasten

around the wrist when working around machinery or rotating equipment. With this type of glove, the hand can be

pulled into the machinery instead of the glove being torn from the hand if the hand is caught in the machinery.

Appropriate gloves need to be worn when using solvents, chemicals, or cleaners. Refer to Safety Data Sheet

(SDS) assessments for specific requirements. The worker must identify the exposure and determine the

recommended glove type for exposure. Make sure that the gloves are inspected before each use.

Impact-resistant gloves must be worn by Talos employees, contractors, and subcontractors when performing the

following tasks:

Using hammers

Opening or closing heavy hatches and doors

Pulling or pushing on wrenches or any other hand tools or power tools

Installing or removing orifice plates in meters

Lifting or moving heavy objects

Working between or near moving or shifting parts

Working in and around pinch points

During crane or rigging operations

Contractors and subcontractors are responsible for providing impact-resistant gloves to all employees who

perform work on Talos facilities that could be exposed to the hazards listed above.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 18 of 110



4.2.6. Hearing Protection

Many forms of hearing protection are available and should be worn in posted areas. Wear protection when there

is a chance of temporary elevation of noise levels even if the area is not posted. Hearing protection should always

be worn where noise levels exceed 85 dBA. Some operations that require hearing protection are:

Blowing down lines

Working around compressors

Certain drilling and work over activities

Signs are posted in areas where noise levels are above 85 dBA or greater. Do not rely on just the sign to

determine if it is a high noise area. When in doubt, wear ear protection.

4.2.7. Eye and Face Protection

Approved safety glasses with side shields or goggles meeting ANSI Z87.1 standards are required. Wear eye

protection any time there is a risk of damage to eyes from chemicals or flying objects.

Prescription safety glasses must meet the ANSI.Z87.1 standard. Talos will supply safety over-glasses, if needed.

Contacts are prohibited in the offshore environment.

Workers need to be aware of the following PPE precautions around hazardous chemicals:

Eye protection should be worn by all persons, including visitors, where chemicals are stored or handled.

Goggles should always be worn when handling chemicals.

Face shields and splash-proof goggles are required when handling liquid chemicals that can damage the

eyes. Consult the chemical vendor’s SDS for eye protection requirements.

Welding requires a welder’s helmet with welding lens.

Wear a face shield for certain operations such as chipping, grinding, and power washing. When a face

shield is worn, safety goggles or foam-padded glasses must be worn underneath.

Foam-padded safety glasses should be worn when strong winds with the potential to stir up debris, are

present.

4.2.8. Flame Resistant Clothing (FRC)

FRC must be worn at all times while working outside the living quarters. FRC must be worn as intended for

protection. It is not necessary to wear FRC when arriving and departing for crew change.

4.2.9. Working over Water

When working over or near water:

Employees working over or near water, where the danger of drowning exists, shall be provided with U.S.

Coast Guard-approved life jacket or buoyant work vests.

Prior to and after each use, the buoyant work vests or life preservers shall be inspected for defects, which


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 19 of 110



would alter their strength or buoyancy. Defective units shall not be used.

Ring buoys shall be provided and readily available for emergency rescue operations.

Respiratory Protection 4.3.

This section establishes a set of guidelines for the selection of respiratory protection equipment, situations for its

use, and training in the use of the respirator required.

A Respiratory Protection Program is in place for workers who perform work in hazardous atmospheres. The need

for respiratory protection varies by jobsite. The program needs to thoroughly assess and document respiratory

hazards that workers are exposed to. This includes both normal conditions and emergencies.

Hazardous respiratory exposures may include the following:

H2S

Confined Space or Vessels Entry

Painting/Blasting

Asbestos

NORM

Exposures exceeding Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL)

Workers need to understand respiratory requirements before starting a job. Use of respirators requires specific

training, medical exams, and fit testing.

4.3.1. Responsibilities

The Person in Charge (PIC), Lead Operator, or Consultant is responsible for:

Identify the need for respiratory protection through evaluating the job scope (JSA) and material being

handled (i.e. H2S, NORM, Asbestos).

Verify that contractors using respiratory protective equipment have the appropriate equipment, skills, and

knowledge.

Consider and evaluate the use of engineering controls where feasible, which may include:

- Change of the work process

- Substitution of less hazardous substances for harmful materials

- Isolation or enclosure of the work process or affected employees

- Local exhaust or general dilution ventilation

http://www.uscg.mil/hq/cg5/cg5214/pfdselection.asp


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 20 of 110



4.3.2. Contractors

Contractor companies whose personnel perform work requiring respiratory protection are required to have a

documented respiratory protection program in place. The contractor company must ensure that their personnel

are properly trained, medically cleared, fit-tested, and that the program is properly implemented.

4.3.3. Exposure Control

Atmospheres are considered hazardous if they contain toxic or disease-producing contaminants (gas vapors or

particulates) which exceed Permissible Exposure Limits (PEL) given by the Safety Data Sheets. Respirators shall

be worn while working in areas in which atmospheres exceed the permissible exposure/time criteria, or when

concentrations are unknown but suspected to approach the PEL. In addition, respirators shall be worn during

emergency and rescue operations whenever the gas or particulate concentrations exceed the “Acceptable Ceiling

Concentration” levels.

Engineering controls and safe work practices (such as the elimination of the source of contamination, ventilation

equipment, working upwind, limiting exposure time, etc.) must be the primary control for exposure to air

contaminants. Effective engineering controls include enclosure or confinement of the operation, general and local

ventilation, and substitution of less toxic materials. Respirators are used if engineering or work practice controls

are not effective for controlling airborne exposures below acceptable concentrations. When not feasible, or while

instituting controls, appropriate respiratory protection shall be used as described in this program.

Respirators are selected based on the hazards to which the worker is exposed, such as:

Oxygen deficiency

H2S or CO2 exposures

Gas and vapor contaminants are present.

Particulate contaminants such as dust, fume, chemical mist, fog, or smoke are present.

4.3.4. Oxygen Deficient Atmosphere

A normal working atmosphere has an oxygen concentration between 19.5 and 23.5 percent and is free of harmful

amounts of flammable gases, dusts, and toxic materials (less than 10 percent of the LEL and below the PEL or

TLV). Anything other than this will be considered an abnormal, unsafe atmosphere and will require additional

control measures to continue permitted entry. Personnel shall not be allowed to enter areas where the oxygen

content is found to contain less than 19.5 percent oxygen.

4.3.5. Respirator Selection

Respirators must be approved by a recognized testing agency or regulatory authority, such as NIOSH (National

Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) / MSHA.

Filters and cartridges used in the workplace shall be labeled and color-coded with the NIOSH approved label.

Ensure the label is not removed and that it remains legible. If for any reason the label becomes illegible, the filters

and/or cartridges shall be discarded and not used.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 21 of 110



4.3.5.1. Exposure Considerations

Respirators shall be selected based on the hazards to which the worker is exposed. The following factors shall be

considered in the selection of respirators:

Location

The location of the hazardous area with respect to a safe area having respirable air shall be considered, as this will allow planning for escape of workers if an emergency occurs.

Time

The time period that a respirator must be worn and environmental conditions shall be taken into account (e.g., tank capacity required, extreme weather conditions).

Physical Characteristics

Physical Characteristics, functional capability and performance limitations of the various types of respirators shall be considered.

Regulatory Guidelines

Respirators shall be selected from among those tested and approval by the National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The selection shall be made in accordance which ANSI Z88.2.

4.3.5.2. Respirators for Atmospheres with Gas and Vapor Contaminants

Respirators for use in gas and vapor atmospheres that contain adequate oxygen and are not immediately

dangerous to life or health may be either of the pressure demand or positive pressure air breathing type

mentioned above, or the chemical cartridge or canister type, full or half mask. The cartridge type shall possess

the appropriate absorbent chemical designed for the specific exposure conditions.

These chemical absorbent masks are mainly intended for very low concentrations of toxic gases. Cartridge and

canister equipment produce negative pressure in the respiratory inlet during inhalation. If the specific exposure

concentrations are suspected to equal or exceed the amounts considered “immediately” dangerous to life or

health, only positive pressure air breathing equipment shall be used.

4.3.5.3. Respirators for Atmospheres with Particulate Contaminants (Dusts, Fogs, Smoke, Spray)

Particulate-filters with quarter mask, half mask, or full-face piece shall be used provided the unit meets the

respiratory protection factor criteria of NIOSH for the specific conditions encountered.

Mechanical filter respirators (dust mask) provide protection against particulate matter such as non-volatile dusts,

mists, or metal fumes. Selection of the appropriate respirator is based on the type, toxicity, and particle size of the

particulate matter.

4.3.5.4. Jobs that May Require the Use of Respirators:

Paint spraying and blasting operations

Welding and cutting operations


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 22 of 110



Confined space entry

Grinding, buffing, chipping and sanding

Handling hazardous chemicals, products or materials where exposure exceeds PEL as per SDS

4.3.6. Emergency Situations

Many chemicals, under normal operating conditions, will not cause overexposure to personnel, but in

emergencies such as during a fire or spill, exposure can exceed permissible exposure limits. Personnel

performing emergency response may be required to wear respiratory protection. Follow the emergency

response/evacuation plan and contact the Talos EH&S department.

4.3.7. Fit Testing

Employees or contractors using a tight-fitting face piece respirator must pass a fit test. The employee or

contractor must be fit tested with the same make, model, style, and size of respirator that will be used by the

employee.

4.3.8. Respirator Maintenance - Cleaning, Storage and Inspection

Employees and contractors shall keep respirators clean, sanitary, and in good working order.

Respirators issued to more than one employee shall be cleaned and disinfected following use by the

employee who used the respirator.

Test the respirator to ensure that all components work properly after the respirator is cleaned and

reassembled.

Respirators shall be protected from damage, contamination, dust, sunlight, extreme temperatures,

excessive moisture, and damaging chemicals, and they shall be packed in a container to prevent

deformation of the face piece and exhalation valve.

Respirators shall be inspected before each use and during cleaning.

Respirators that fail inspection or are otherwise defective shall be removed from service or discarded.

Components of different respirators should not be combined to make a new one.

4.3.9. Breathing Air Systems

4.3.9.1. Supplied Air Cylinders

When supplied air respirator requirements are met by supplying air from compressed air cylinders, the cylinders

shall be tested and maintained in accordance with regulatory requirements. The air shall have a certificate of

analysis from the supplier that the breathing air meets the requirements for Grade D breathing air.

4.3.9.2. Supplied Air Compressors

Breathing air compressors shall be situated to:

Prevent entry of contaminated air into the air-supply system.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 23 of 110



Minimize moisture content so that the dew point at 1 atmosphere pressure is 10 degrees Fahrenheit

below the ambient temperature.

Have suitable in-line air-purifying sorbent beds and filters to further ensure breathing air quality. Sorbent

beds and filters shall be maintained and replaced or refurbished periodically following the manufacturer’s

instructions. Maintain at the compressor a tag containing the most recent change date and the signature

of the supervisor or foreman who performed the change.

For non-oil lubricated compressors, ensure the carbon monoxide level in the breathing air does not

exceed 10 ppm.

For oil lubricated compressors, ensure a high-temperature or carbon monoxide alarm (or both) monitor

carbon monoxide levels. If only high-temperature alarms are used, the air supply shall be monitored at

intervals sufficient to prevent carbon monoxide in the breathing air from exceeding 10 ppm.

Ensure breathing air couplings are incompatible with outlets for non-respirable worksite air or other gas

systems. No asphyxiating substance shall be introduced into breathing air lines.

Fall Protection 4.4.

This section establishes protective controls for personnel working at elevated heights to prevent or minimize injury

or death resulting from falls.

This procedure establishes minimum requirements for working at unguarded elevated work locations that are six

feet or greater above floor/grade level or that present a potential for fall and/or injury to personnel. This procedure

applies to all Talos Energy employees and contract personnel. It covers activities such as, but not limited to work

in or on:

Pipe racks

Unguarded scaffolding

Suspended scaffolds

Tank tops

Derricks

Process structures without guarded work platforms

Ladders (only when working from a ladder; not when moving from one elevation to another)

4.4.1. Responsibilities

The Person in Charge (PIC), Lead Operator or Consultant is responsible for the following:

Understanding and complying with this procedure

Evaluating the potential elevated work hazards at Talos Energy facilities/sites, qualifying the level of risk

of each job, and establishing the required safeguards

Ensuring that personnel assigned to work at heights requiring fall protection are properly trained

according to the requirements of this policy


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 24 of 110



Re-evaluating the potential elevated work hazards when changes in work areas may affect the

safeguards required

Monitoring work areas for compliance with this procedure and required safeguards

Ensuring any additional precautions are included as necessary in permits

Evaluating the need for a rescue plan

Ensuring inspections are performed by competent personnel

Removing from service any equipment subjected to the forces of a fall

Employee or Contract Personnel are responsible for the following:

Understanding and following the requirements of this Fall Protection Policy

Bringing any questions or concerns about the type of personal fall protection equipment or system

installation on any job to the attention of supervision

Inspecting the personal fall protection system anchor points, connecting means, lanyards, harnesses, etc.

prior to use. This inspection should be thorough and any problems should be immediately brought to the

attention of supervision.

Reporting any fall to supervisors immediately

Removing from service any equipment subjected to the forces of a fall

4.4.2. Requirements

This policy requires continuous or 100 percent tie off fall protection, when the possibility of a fall of 6 (six) feet or

greater exists. This means that the employee must be tied off 100 percent of the time while repositioning or

moving into a work area at heights of six feet, or greater. This may occur when work activities include traversing,

climbing, descending, etc. Climbing ladders to move from one elevation to another is excluded from these

requirements. Safety cages will be utilized on ladders more than 20-feet tall to provide the appropriate protection.

4.4.3. Equipment

A full body harness is required to properly distribute fall arrest forces to minimize potential injury to the body in the

event of a fall. The maximum arresting force (M.A.F.) is the largest amount of force that the fall protection system

and the person attached to the system will experience as generated by the deceleration device. The M.A.F. on

an employee shall be limited to 1,800 lbs. To calculation for MAF is Maximum Arresting Force/Body Weight =

Gravitational Force that an individual will experience.

The harness must be made of polyester material, and be ANSI Z359.1 approved. Harnesses shall be capable of

supporting 5,000 lbs.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 25 of 110



Lanyards with a maximum of 6 feet in length are required (smaller lanyards are acceptable). Lanyards must be

ANSI Z359.1 approved. Lanyards must have a shock absorbing device integral to them. Shock absorbers shall

allow for a maximum deceleration distance of 3.5 feet, and limit fall arrest forces to 900 lbs. All snap hooks

integral to lanyards shall be of the self-locking/self-closing design. Lanyards shall be capable of supporting 5,000

lbs.

M.A.F. example: 900 lbs. MAF / 200 lbs. of worker = 4.5 Gravitational Forces

4.4.4. Anchor Point

An anchor point is a secure point of attachment for lanyards, lifelines, or other components of a personal fall

protection system.

Anchorages for fall protection systems will have enough strength to sustain static loads applied in the directions

the system allows of at least the following:

Non-certified anchorages: a static load of 5000 lbs. in the direction of the arresting force per employee

attached.

Certified anchorages: loads of two times the maximum arrest force.

Certified anchorages are certified by a Qualified Person in fall protection or a Professional Engineer.

A Qualified Person is an individual with extensive knowledge, training, and experience in fall protection and

rescue who can design, analyze, evaluate, and specify fall protection and rescue systems to the extent required

by applicable standards.

An anchor point should be as directly overhead as possible, or attachment to the anchor point should be chosen

as to not allow a free fall of greater than 6 feet. In cases where the anchor point is lower than the attachment point

of the harness, a shorter lanyard or other fall arrest device (i.e., retractable lifeline) should be used.

4.4.5. Lanyards and Anchor Points

When not in use, lanyards shall be attached back to the harness in such a way as to not present a

tripping hazard. The ends of lanyards shall not be dragged on the ground.

Lanyards shall be attached to the best possible anchor point (one that is capable of supporting at least

5000 pounds per person attached).

Anchor points shall be at least as high as the attachment point of the harness. Lanyards shall be

protected from cuts or abrasions. When a direct snap hook to anchorage connection cannot be achieved,

an anchorage connector shall be used.

Snap hooks should always be fixed to an anchorage so as to not allow a side load on the hook.

Knots shall not be tied in lanyards.

The snap hooks of a “Y” lanyard shall not be connected to each other.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 26 of 110



4.4.6. Additional Fall Protection

4.4.6.1. Horizontal Lifeline

Horizontal lifelines shall be designed, installed, and used under the supervision of a qualified person as part of a

complete fall arrest system, which maintains a safety factor of two. If the criteria for horizontal lifeline system

cannot be met, a pre-engineered and tested horizontal lifeline system shall be used in lieu of a makeshift

horizontal lifeline.

4.4.6.2. Vertical Lifeline

When vertical lifelines are used, each employee shall be attached to a separate lifeline. Components of the

vertical lifeline system shall be capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. The attachment point of the fall arrestor shall be

at the dorsal D-ring of the harness. When permanently installed ladder climbing systems are used, the fall arrestor

shall be attached at the chest D-ring of the harness.

4.4.6.3. Self-Retracting Lanyard

Self-retracting lanyards (SRLs) shall be installed using ANSI Z359.1 approved connectors (e.g., carabineers or

anchor pads/straps), to an anchor point capable of supporting 5,000 lbs. The attachment point of the SRL shall be

at the dorsal D-ring of the harness. Users of SRLs shall not connect the snap hook of their lanyard to the snap

hook of a SRL. SRLs should be used when the potential free fall distance is greater than 6 feet, or when the

height of the anchor point is less than 18.5 feet from ground level. An advantage of a self-retracting lanyard over a

shock absorbing lanyard is that it only requires a maximum of two feet to arrest the fall. In most cases, the

breaking is instantaneous, which significantly reduces the risk of hitting the ground.

4.4.7. Inspection, Maintenance and Storage

Personal fall arrest systems shall be inspected prior to each use for wear, damage, or other deterioration and

defective components shall be removed from service.

Fall protection equipment should be cleaned with cool soapy water and rinsed with clear cool water. Equipment

should be hung by the D-ring to dry. Equipment shall not be force-dried.

When not in use, equipment should be hung in a clean, dry area by the D-ring. Equipment should never be stored

in a gang or toolbox.

4.4.8. Hazard Analysis

When a job task will create the possibility or potential for a fall, the Person in Charge (PIC), Lead Operator or

Consultant should consider methods to address fall hazards in the following order:

Fall Elimination

Eliminate the need to perform elevated work.

Fall Prevention


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 27 of 110



Fall prevention may be accomplished by the use of man-lifts, scaffolds, or temporary access ways with standard hand-rails, mid-rails, and toe boards.

Fall protection

Use of proper fall arrest systems such as full body harnesses, “Y” lanyards, lifelines (both vertical and horizontal), retractable lifelines, etc. This equipment shall be made available to employees.

4.4.9. Fall Rescue Plans

A thoughtful approach to retrieving a fallen worker as soon as possible without endangering the lives of

those who must conduct the rescue operation shall be established before work from heights begins.

Rescue plans need not be complicated. In some situations, a portable ladder may be adequate. Ensure a

plan is discussed; proper equipment and personnel are available and described during pre-job planning

JSA.

Suspended workers should be rescued as soon as possible.

The following should be considered when planning a rescue:

Who will be executing the rescue operation?

Where will the rescue take place?

What kind of equipment would be needed?

What are the rescue options for this area?

Rescue plans should always be based on the "worst case" scenario, such as an incapacitated or

unconscious fall victim. If a safe rescue can’t be achieved under these circumstances, then work from

heights should not be performed.

4.4.10. Climbing

Tools and other materials shall not be carried by hand while climbing a ladder.

Special precautions shall be taken when wet or other slippery conditions exist.

Vertical beams shall not be climbed.

When using stairs, one hand shall be free to use the handrails.

Climbing on equipment such as pumps, exchangers, valve hand wheels, transformers, electric motors,

handrails, structures, or any other facilities not designed for climbing should be avoided.

Climbing on conduit, cable trays, or other equipment not capable of supporting the weight of a person is

prohibited.

Climbing on a ladder while another person is above or on the same section of the ladder is prohibited.

Always maintain three points of contact when working from a ladder.

When working from a ladder, the ladder shall be secure at both ends and fall protection should be utilized.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 28 of 110



Adequate support should be available when walking in pipe bands to provide a safe walking/working

surface without causing damage to the piping, insulation, or heat tracing.

Personal fall protection must be used and anchored to a designated anchor point when using, traveling

on, or working from mobile work platforms such as:

Spiders

Man-lifts

Scissor-lifts

Crane baskets

4.4.11. Same Level Falls

Good housekeeping is the key to the prevention of same level falls.

Usable and waste material shall be stored away from walking or working surfaces and shall not congest a

work area.

Walking surfaces shall be kept free of slipping hazards.

Floor holes and openings shall be covered so as not to create tripping hazards.

Hole covers must be capable of supporting at least twice the maximum load that may be imposed on them.

Covers must be secured and marked “HOLE” or “COVER.”

4.4.12. Different Level Falls and/or Deck Openings

4.4.12.1. Protection of Open-Sided Floors and Platforms

Every open-sided floor or platform four feet or more above an adjacent floor or ground level shall be guarded by a

standard railing on all open sides except where there is entrance to a ramp, stairway, or fixed ladder. The railing

shall include a toe board beneath the open sides wherever falling materials could create a hazard for persons

passing below or cause damage to moving machinery or equipment.

Every flight of stairs having four or more risers shall be equipped with standard stair railings.

4.4.12.2. Protection for Wall Openings and Holes

Every wall opening from which there is a drop of more than four feet shall be guarded by rail, roller, picket fence,

half door, or equivalent barrier. Where there is exposure below to falling materials, a removable toe board or the

equivalent shall also be provided. Every temporary wall opening shall have adequate guards.

Every chute wall opening from which there is a drop of more than four feet shall be guarded by one or more of the

barriers specified above or as required by the conditions.

When the opening is not in use for handling materials, the guard shall be kept in position regardless of a door on

the opening. In addition, a grab handle shall be provided on each side of the opening with its center approximately

four feet above floor level and of standard strength and mounting.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 29 of 110



An extension platform onto which materials can be hoisted for handling shall have side rails or equivalent guards

of standard specifications.

Every window wall opening at a stairway landing, floor, platform, or balcony, from which there is a drop of more

than four feet, and where the bottom of the opening is less than three feet above the platform or landing, shall be

guarded by standard slats, standard grill work or standard railing.

4.4.13. Guarding of Deck Openings

Every floor hole into which persons can accidentally walk shall be guarded by either:

Standard railing with standard toe board on all exposed sides, or

Floor hole cover of standard strength and construction. While the cover is not in place, the floor hole shall

be constantly attended by someone or shall be protected by a removable standard railing.

4.4.14. Open Hole Attendant

An Open Hole Attendant is an individual with the specific duty to keep other personnel from accessing an area

where an opening has been created (i.e. openings without a cover or protective hard barrier that is large enough

for a person to either walk or fall through).

Open hole attendants shall not be assigned additional duties and must be present for all jobs involving open holes

as there will be occasions where the hole will be unguarded by a cover or protective barrier (such as during cover

removal or construction of barrier).

4.4.14.1. Open Hole Attendant Guidelines

A designated attendant must fully monitor active ongoing work in the “hole” area. If work scope is less than a 24-hour operation, everyone must be instructed on the location of the open hole and a hard barricade is installed to prevent non-essential personnel from accessing the open hole, the designated attendant is only required during active work activities. If there is a work stoppage, the hole shall be secured by a properly installed barricade or cover. All essential and non-essential personnel must be made aware of this temporary situation when no hole attendant will be present.

An open hole attendant and schedule is at the discretion of the PIC:

Duration of the open hole: attendant may be used in lieu of barricading where a job is of very short duration (such as simply removing a hole cover and dropping a piece of equipment to a lower deck and then immediately replacing the cover).

The installation of a barrier would introduce more hazards

The open hole attendant shall wear fall protection at all times why around the open hole. The attendant must be immediately present in the area of the open hole at all times while it is uncovered or un-barricaded.

Emergency conditions shall cancel the permit and a new permit shall be issued before work starts back up.

Duration of the permit:

One copy posted at worksite until the completion of the work

One copy remains on file for two years

Hole Covers

Hole covers of sufficient integrity with a “sure fit” are preferred for correcting open holes.

The covers shall be rated (ppf) to a level at least equal to the surrounding deck area so as to support the

expected deck load, materials or equipment that may be imposed on the cover at any one time.

The cover should not protrude more than one inch above the walking surface. Any protruding cover must

not have raised or sharp edges that could cause a tripping hazard.

Covers that protrude less than one inch above the plane of the walking surface and contain beveled

edges are acceptable.

The cover shall be secured to prevent accidental displacement.

The cover should be distinguishable with a different color than surroundings or labeled as “Hole” or

“Cover.”

4.4.14.3. Inappropriate Hole Protection Barriers

The following are NOT considered adequate barriers for open hole protection:

Cables without adequate anchoring or posting. Proper tensioning should not allow cables to be moved up

or down more than six inches

Light ropes, plastic flagging tape (surveying tape), or similarly weak materials

Wooden railings using less than 2-inch by 4-inch stock

Construction fencing used without properly anchored or posted restraining cables

Medical and First Aid 4.5.

4.5.1. Bloodborne Pathogens

Bloodborne Pathogens are microscopic infectious organisms carried by body fluids and can cause disease in

humans. These pathogens include hepatitis B virus (HBV), hepatitis C virus (HCV) and human immunodeficiency

virus (HIV).

For a potential bloodborne infection to occur, contact must take place between broken skin or mucous

membranes and infected blood or other body fluids. Contact with potential bloodborne pathogens can occur

during emergency care which includes cleanup and disposal of any bodily, or blood fluids. Blood and body fluids

are considered hazardous waste and require special clean-up materials, transportation, and disposal.

Administration of emergency care by most employees is not a job duty and would be performed at the discretion

of the employee. If emergency care is given precautions should be taken that include utilizing appropriate PPE

such as latex gloves and eye protection.

Talos Energy seeks to limit employee exposure to blood and other infectious materials. This program identifies

those employees who may be occupationally exposed, and addresses both the means by which the exposure can

be reduced or eliminated, and the procedure for evaluating an exposure incident.

If an employee is involved in a potential exposure incident, Talos will provide evaluation, post treatment, and

follow-up. Any potential exposure incident experienced on the job should be reported immediately to your

supervisor or safety representative.

Methods that reduce or eliminate the risk of exposure include Universal Precautions, Engineering Controls, Work

Practice Controls, and the use of PPE.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 32 of 110



4.5.1.1. Universal Precautions

All blood and certain body fluids are to be treated as if they are infectious for HIV, HBV, or any other blood borne

pathogen. This method of infection control, known as Universal Precautions, will be utilized in any situation that

involves potential exposure to blood or other potentially infectious materials.

4.5.1.2. Engineering Controls

Engineering Controls for isolating or removing a hazard from the workplace are the most effective methods of

hazard reduction. Engineering controls include the use of “sharps” disposal containers, disposable airway

equipment or resuscitation bags, and pocket mouth-to-mouth resuscitation devices for CPR.

Engineering controls should be employed first, and if the hazard remains, PPE shall be used.

4.5.1.3. Work Practices

Work Practices that reduce the exposure during a task or procedure will be used to minimize exposure.

Hands and other skin surfaces, which come in contact with blood or other potentially infectious materials,

must be washed immediately with soap and water. In the event that running water is unavailable,

antiseptic towelettes may be used.

Eating, drinking, smoking, applying cosmetics, and handling contact lenses is prohibited in areas where

exposure is likely to occur.

Food and drink will not be stored in or on refrigerators, cabinets, shelves, or counter tops where blood or

other potentially infectious materials are present.

All procedures involving exposure to blood or potentially infectious materials shall be performed in a way

which minimizes splashing, spraying, and spattering.

All contaminated sharps will be placed in closeable, puncture-resistant, leak-proof and color coded

containers.

All other regulated waste and full sharps containers will be placed in a regulated waste container for

disposal in accordance with local, state, and federal regulations. Records will be kept as required.

All contaminated reusable equipment, work surfaces, and environmental areas will be cleaned as soon as

possible with an appropriate disinfectant such as a 1 to 10 concentration of bleach to water.

Appropriate PPE will be worn during decontamination procedures. Broken glassware will be picked up

using mechanical means such as tongs, or brush and dustpan.

4.5.2. First Aid/CPR/AED

Emergency First Aid/CPR/AED training will be provided to employees who work in areas where emergency

medical services are not immediately available.


Rev. No.: 4

Seeking information and advice on possible hazards

Planning appropriate protective procedures

Planning the positioning of equipment and personnel before beginning a new operation

4.6.8.1. Maintaining Safety Data Sheet

A central file containing each SDS shall be maintained at each manned platform’s Control Room. The respective

SDS will be available for review by all employees. The SDS is a key tool in hazardous chemical safety. The SDS

should be reviewed with employees on a regular basis. All chemicals shall have an SDS readily available to

employees. Employees need to understand the contents of each SDS.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 36 of 110



An SDS will be requested for all incoming hazardous substances. Talos will rely on the

suppliers/vendors/contractors to furnish an appropriate SDS.

base receivers will document all communications with suppliers.

4.6.9. Informing Contractors

It will be the responsibility of the PIC to inform contractors of the hazards in the work area to which they are

assigned. This is critical wherever chemicals or compressed gas are in use or are stored. Contractors are to be

informed of any restrictions involving use of compressed gasses, flame, or chemicals to be utilized by the

contractor as part of the job.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 37 of 110



4.6.10. Updating and Evaluating the HAZCOM Program

At least once per year, the Vice President HSE or delegate will review and update the program. The Vice

President HSE or delegate will access the hazardous chemicals and materials in the offshore facility with the

assistance of Safety and Compliance Foremen and other supervisors. The update will consist of each of the

following elements of the HAZCOM program:

Hazard assessment

Assessment of applicable regulations

Written plan(s)

Policies

Discipline/procedures

Training

Inspection Audits

Designated employee accountability

4.6.11. Materials Received

All containers received for use in each offshore facility are to be properly and clearly marked in at least English

accompanied with the SDS.

4.6.12. Materials Shipped

Any hazardous substance leaving the offshore facility must be accompanied by the SDS. Chemical waste will be

shipped via a contracted vendor, in compliance with EPA, USCG, and DOT regulations. Records will be

maintained in the office of the shore base.

4.6.13. Portable Containers

Portable containers into which hazardous chemicals are transferred from labeled containers and which are

intended only for the immediate use of the employee who performs the transfer are not required to be labeled. If

any hazardous chemical remains when the employee leaves the immediate area, then the container containing

the hazardous chemical must be labeled, or the material transferred back (if allowable) into a labeled container.

All other portable containers are to be labeled with the content and hazard to the potentially affected body part(s).

4.6.14. Multi-Employer Work Sites

It is the responsibility of the designated individual (PIC) to provide contractors and their employees with the

information listed below. This information will be given to the contractor's employees prior to their entering the

work site.

Hazardous chemicals – what they may be exposed to on the work site

Measures the employee may take to reduce the possible exposure


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 38 of 110



Steps taken to reduce the risks

The applicable SDS for all hazardous chemicals are on file in the Control room

Procedures to follow if they are exposed

Location of the written plan is in the Control room

4.6.15. Using PPE

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is a good line of defense against exposure to chemicals. Chemicals can

enter the body through four different routes:

Eyes

Skin

Inhalation (the respiratory system)

Ingestion

Refer to section 4.2 of this SWP manual for more information and specific PPE requirements when working with

hazardous chemicals. The SDS is another good source of information on recommended PPE.

4.6.16. Personal Hygiene

A work practice that is often overlooked is good personal hygiene. Chemicals can enter the body by way of

ingestion.

Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, chewing gum or applying cosmetics in the work areas where chemicals

are present.

Workers must wash their hands and other affected areas after handling chemicals and removing PPE.

Do not store, handle, or consume food and beverages in areas where chemicals are used or stored.

Chemicals may not be stored in food refrigerators or with food utensils.

Never smell or taste chemicals.

All PPE, tools, clothing, personnel, and any other equipment shall be properly decontaminated.

4.6.17. Emergencies

Eye wash stations and showers are critical in hazardous chemical safety. Workers should be familiar with the eye

wash station location and how to use them in case of an emergency.

4.6.18. Using Chemicals

Chemicals are used in equipment that has been specifically designed for them and where there is

adequate ventilation.

Do not allow toxic substances to be released in rooms with contained or re-circulated atmospheres.

Remember that ventilation systems are designed for specific types and amounts of chemicals, so only

use equipment for its designed purpose.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 39 of 110



4.6.19. Spills

Clean up chemical spills promptly using prescribed PPE and disposal procedures. Do not discharge chemicals

into drains unless the chemicals are neutralized or harmless. If unsure, discuss the matter with your supervisor.

Never mix chemical waste. Often, waste is evaluated to determine minimization opportunities. Remember the

three R’s: reduce, reuse, or recycle. Always try to eliminate the use of drums whenever possible.

Asbestos 4.7.

Asbestos containing materials (ACMs) were commonly used in the past. It is difficult to tell between ACM and

non-ACM without laboratory equipment ACMs are no longer installed for insulation in E&P facilities. There are

older facilities where asbestos may still remain.

Some applications of asbestos include:

pipe wrap

gaskets

vessel and building insulation

brake pads

transit panels

floor tiles

roofing felts

Ask the operators if there are any asbestos containing materials in the work area. Operators should tag such

materials with a sign or label stating “ASBESTOS” or “ACM.”

Asbestos can be harmful if it is not handled right. Breathing asbestos dust and fibers is hazardous. Asbestos will

not be released at a dangerous level if it is:

properly encapsulated

properly covered

in fragile condition

on non-enclosed structures

It is important not to drill, cut, mine, remove, tear, step on, brush against, hammer on or in any way disturbs

suspected ACM. Notify your supervisor if you need to disturb any suspected ACM or you notice any wear and tear

of the suspected ACM. Only trained and qualified personnel with proper equipment and strict procedures may

work with ACM.

Specific regulations may apply to working with or removing ACM.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 40 of 110



Benzene 4.8.

Benzene is an aromatic hydrocarbon carcinogen that occurs naturally in petroleum crude oils and natural gas

condensates. High concentrations of benzene are often found in the water vapor coming off of a glycol

dehydration unit. The amount present is usually greater in the lighter crude oils and condensates. Benzene also

may be found in many processing and cleaning fluids, where it is used as an additive.

Workers need to ask the operator if there is any benzene where they will be working. If exposure to benzene

cannot be avoided, the proper PPE (e.g. SCBA) needs to be used by the workers.

Benzene can cause the short-term effects common to most solvents. These effects include headaches, dizziness,

and/or respiratory irritation. These effects usually occur at exposure levels of 25 ppm (parts per million) to 100

ppm. These effects are usually reversed by removing the person to a safe breathing area.

Long-term inhalation of benzene can cause leukemia or cancer of the blood-forming organs in the body. Since

there is a natural occurrence of all cancers in the human population, the goal in managing the cancer risk

associated with benzene exposure is to set exposure levels no higher than what is naturally found in the human

population.

Exposure levels to benzene are usually regulated by appropriate government agencies. The permitted exposure

limit for benzene is 1 ppm averaged over an eight-hour work shift, with a maximum short-term exposure of 5 ppm

averaged over a 15-minute period. This short-term exposure limit (STEL) does not occur more than four (4) times

daily with at least 60 minutes between each of the four (4) exposures. Exposures above 5 ppm for any time period

are not allowed. (See API RP54).

4.8.1. Managing Benzene Risk

The main mechanisms used to manage the health risk from working with benzene are the following:

Education and information - make sure that people understand the risks associated with benzene

exposure and the protective systems available.

Exposure monitoring - determine if the potential for benzene exposure exists for workers and measure

these exposures by job classification and/or task.

Medical surveillance - if workers are exposed at or above the action level (0.5 ppm) for benzene, include

them in the medical surveillance program to identify potential changes in blood chemistries.

Have signs posted and storage tanks labeled in areas where benzene has been detected at or above

1,000 ppm.

4.8.2. What Workers Can Do

Understand the basic information on benzene.

Avoid excessive exposure to materials that contain benzene, i.e. crude oil, condensate, natural gas

liquids.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 41 of 110



Use recommended personnel protective equipment (PPE) where exposure potential to these materials

exists.

Refer to PPE Assessment Sheet at location.

Hydrogen Sulfide 4.9.

This section provides safe guidelines that must be followed when the possibility of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) may be

present.

H2S is a highly a toxic, colorless gas. It can travel some distance close to the ground and may accumulate

in low areas. H2S has an offensive odor like rotten eggs at low concentrations. However, never rely on the

sense of smell to identify H2S since you may not be able to detect it.

H2S is hazardous due to its explosive nature and toxicity. H2S occurs in a variety of natural and industrial

settings. It is naturally occurring in many oil and gas producing formations. It is also produced by bacterial

action and decomposition of organic matter.

The principal concern from inhalation of H2S is acute (short-term) toxicity. H2S causes paralysis of the

respiratory center in the brain and can result in immediate collapse and death.

The explosive range for H2S is extremely wide, from 4.3 percent to 46 percent by volume. The auto

ignition temperature of H2S is 500°F. It is highly soluble in water, liquid hydrocarbons, and at elevated

pressures. H2S comes out of solution as a gas at ambient conditions. H2S burns with a blue flame and

produces sulfur dioxide (SO2), another toxic gas. H2S is highly corrosive to metals.

Low levels of exposure may cause the following symptoms or a combination of these symptoms with

longer exposure:

Concentration in PPM Effect

0.003 to 0.02 Odor threshold

Above 10 Toxic to personnel, wear respiratory protection equipment

Below 100 Quickly deadens the sense of smell

Above 100 Considered immediately dangerous to life or health (IDLH). Air-supping respiratory equipment approved for this level must be used.

500 to 1000 Rapid loss of consciousness and death.

Above 1,000 Immediate unconsciousness and death if not revived promptly.

4.9.1. H2S Contingency Plan

Any facility with the potential for H2S exposure shall have an approved Contingency Plan with the following

provisions:

Monitors capable of measuring 10 ppm

Audible and visible alarms at 20 ppm


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 42 of 110



Ability to detect SO2 when flaring H2S

Drills conducted in zones with H2S present

Documented H2S training for all operators and contract personnel before beginning work at the facility,

and annual training with refresher training performed within one year of previous class

Visitors that will remain on the facility more than 24 hours must receive the same training required for

employees.

Visitors that will spend less than 24 hours at the facility are exempt from the training required for

employees, but must on arrival complete a briefing that includes the following:

Information on location and use of assigned respirator

Practice donning and adjusting the respirator

Information on safe briefing areas, Alarm System, and the hazards of H2S and SO2

Instructions on their responsibilities in the event of an H2S release

4.9.2. Detection Devices

Use detection equipment when working in an area where there is a possibility of H2S gas, especially in enclosed

or below-grade areas. Various devices or instruments can be used to detect H2S in the air.

A personal monitor is a portable electronic unit designed to alert personnel who may encounter H2S levels

beyond permissible exposure levels. It is usually clipped to a pocket or the lapel, to position the detector

near the breathing zone.

A fixed monitor is used in areas that H2S is present in high concentrations and can affect working

personnel or the public. It is usually fixed to a structure near a zone where H2S can be generated.

Colorimetric detector tubes are generally used for screening purposes. Colorimetric detector tubes can

also be used in conjunction with the proper respiratory protection, to test atmospheres for safe entry or

work.

4.9.3. Respiratory Protection

It is critical to select the right type of respiratory protection when working in an atmosphere that can potentially

contain H2S. In all cases, the units do not filter the air, but rather supply air to the wearer. The following are the

three basic types of respiratory protection:

The “escape unit” is designed strictly for escape from an H2S atmosphere and can only be used for a very

short period of time.

The “supplied air unit” is generally used as a work unit. Such units must have a positive pressure feature

for the air inside the face piece, and must be equipped with an escape cylinder, as a back-up safety

system, in case air supply is interrupted.

The “self-contained breathing apparatus” (SCBA) can be used as a work unit and is the preferred standby

and rescue unit.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 43 of 110



Personnel working in H2S areas are required to be clean-shaven to ensure a proper respirator

mask-to-face seal.

In atmospheres IDLH (level of 100 ppm or greater), a standby person(s) with suitable self-contained breathing

apparatus must be available for the purpose of rescue in case of an emergency. Never attempt to rescue an H2S

victim without first donning proper respiratory protection in the form of a SCBA or an approved hose line, supplied

air unit. All rescue personnel must be properly trained.

4.9.4. Iron Sulfide (Pyrophoric) Scale

During any service operation in which suspected iron sulfide scale is deposited, it is necessary to prevent

spontaneous combustion. This can be accomplished by keeping the iron sulfide wet, removing the scale, or by

complete coverage with soil. Also, keep in mind that during well acidizing, hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with iron

sulfide to produce H2S.

Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material 4.10.

This section provides safe operating practices and guidelines to help reduce and prevent exposure to naturally

occurring radioactive material (NORM).

NORM is radioactive material that has always been a natural component in our environment. This low-level

radioactive scale can be produced over time in some oil and gas operations. This occurs when NORM dissolves

into the reservoir water.

The production of oil and gas moves NORM to the surface where it can accumulate at low-levels in processing

and transport equipment. Some of the typical locations are:

Piping

Tubing

Sludge pits

Brine and sand filters

Saltwater disposal injection wells and equipment

Soils at the well site

Pipe cleaning and storage yards

Equipment and piping that handles produced liquids and gases.

When the presence of NORM scale is detected, contact the local safety or materials representative. Anytime a

NORM reading exceeds 50 μR/hr., including background, the local safety representative must be notified.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 44 of 110



The following table illustrates the typical NORM levels according to the EPA:

Wastes

Radiation level (pCi/g)

Low Average

Produced water (pCi/l) 0.1 N/A

Pipe or tank scale(pCi/g) < 0.25 < 200

NOTE: The unit measure pCi/g means pico Curie per gram; pCi/l means pico Curie per liter.

4.10.1. NORM Precautions

Proper protective equipment, including respiratory or breathing air must be worn when entering

contaminated vessels or when handling equipment materials with exposed NORM.

Avoid direct skin contact with radioactive scale and solids to the extent reasonably possible.

Eating, drinking, smoking, and chewing are not allowed in the work area.

Personnel must thoroughly wash hands and face immediately following any skin contact, especially prior

to eating, drinking, or smoking.

The number of personnel in the work area must be kept to a minimum.

Surface contamination must be handled in the wet state to avoid inhaling NORM contaminated scale.

Contaminated equipment and vessels that are to be opened must be removed from service, vented, and

left to stand idle for four hours to allow radon to decay to less-active levels before work commences.

Contact the local environmental representative for storage and disposal guidelines.

Contaminated protective equipment, clothing and tools, must be cleaned in accordance with approved

decontamination and waste disposal procedures.

Contaminated equipment and piping must be handled in accordance with approved waste and surplus

equipment disposal and/or storage procedures.

Hand Tools 4.11.

Supervisors shall ensure that all employees and contractors are instructed in the safe and proper use of all hand

tools applicable to their work.

4.11.1. General

Employees and contractors shall adhere to the following:

Non-engineered / approved tools and equipment are strictly prohibited;

The proper tool shall be used for the job. Substituting the wrong tool is unacceptable.

All tools shall be maintained in a safe working condition;

The user shall inspect all tools for suitability and condition before use;


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 45 of 110



Damaged tools shall be tagged "Out of Service" and returned / reported to the supervisor.

Tools shall be returned to their designated storage area after use;

Line of fire and body position shall always be considered when using tools;

4.11.2. Tool Handles

Cracked or split tool handles shall be removed from service immediately.

Never tape tool handles.

Never paint wood or fiberglass handles.

Handles of hammers, mauls, and axes shall be properly wedged or rigidly secured into the tool heads.

Files shall not be used without handles.

4.11.3. Shovels

Shovels shall contain handles made of non-conductive materials, such as wood or fiberglass, to protect

the user from electrical shock when digging a hole or trench.

Prior to digging, always check the area for buried utility services.

4.11.4. Wrenches

Never use a wrench as leverage by placing its jaw into the ring or jaw of another wrench. Never step or

jump on a wrench when additional force is required.

When connections or fasteners are known to be quick-breaking (causing a sudden release), use a

hydraulic wrench, or as a last resort, a hammer wrench will be used instead of a wrench that requires

bodily force.

Ensure that the wrench jaws are correctly adjusted on adjustable pipe and crescent type wrenches to be

able to take a full but snug bite on the pipe, nut, or bolt.

4.11.5. Hammers

Consideration shall be given to line of fire when using hammer.

4.11.6. Portable Power Tools

It is a requirement for all employees and contractors to adhere to the following when operating portable power

tools:

1. Select the proper tool for the job.

2. Alert workers in the close proximity of work to be done.

3. Be alert to any potential hazards in the area such as flammable or explosive gasses, vapors, dusts, etc.

that may ignite if a spark is generated by the tool or from work being done with the tool.

Production Safety Systems Bypassing and Monitoring Procedure 5.2.

Note: This procedure is not intended to replace the LOTO Procedure. However, it may be used in conjunction with LOTO.

This guidance is provided to ensure that all field personnel comply with BSEE regulations for bypassing safety devices. During maintenance, repair, and testing of equipment on board the platform, it is imperative that any safety system that is placed in by-pass must be placed back in service immediately following such maintenance, testing, or repairs. The following procedures provide a guideline and process to prevent an accidental by-pass of safety equipment after startup, testing, maintenance, or repairs are completed.

The responsibility for using Tags rests with the person repairing equipment, isolating equipment, altering

valves or switches from normal operating position or discovering an unsafe piece of equipment.

The responsibility for verifying that the necessary repairs to tagged-out items are completed rests with the

notified Talos Foreman or PIC.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 50 of 110



5.2.1. Bypass Tags

A minimum of five tags shall be issued to each qualified person and kept in their possession at all times

while on duty. When off duty, tags should be kept in a secure location.

At the end of each shift, each individual must conduct a collective review and inventory of issued tags to

ensure a surface or subsurface safety device has not been inadvertently left in bypass.

Out of Service Tags will be available at each manned location.

5.2.2. Definitions

Term Definition

Bypass To block-out or disable a Safety Device so that it will not perform its designed function.

Extended Downtime Downtime that occurs through shift or crew change

Flag A piece of bright red ribbon attached in addition to a tag, only when the tag is not readily visible, such as tags on overhead valves.

In-Service The device or component is performing its designed function.

Maintenance Adjustments or repairs, typically of short duration, that can be performed without compromising effective monitoring (leaving the area for parts, supplies, or tools). For clarification, discuss with your supervisor.

Permanently Out-of-Service A component is permanently Out-of-Service (OOS) when it is not being used as part of the production process and it is properly isolated from all other production equipment or energy sources on the facility. Safety Devices for an out of service component must be labeled "Out-of-Service". It is not necessary to monitor the bypassed Safety Device function. However, the PSV on any Out-of-Service component must be left In Service, maintained and tested.

Properly Isolated When wells are disconnected from producing facilities and blind flanged, equipped with a tubing plug, or the master valves have been locked closed, compliance is not required with the provisions of API RP 14C concerning the following:

Automatic fail-close SSVs on wellhead assemblies, and

The PSH and PSL shut-in sensors in flow lines from wells.

When pressure or atmospheric vessels are isolated from production facilities (e.g., inlet valve locked closed or inlet blind-flanged) and are to remain isolated for an extended period of time, safety device compliance with API RP 14C is not required.

Qualified Person A person that has completed production safety system training in accordance with Talos Energy’s Subpart O Training Program.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 51 of 110



Term Definition

Temporarily Out-of-Service A component is considered temporarily Out-of-Service when it is in standby, not in use (i.e. test separators, intermediate pressure vessels, etc.), but can easily be placed in service. In this situation, Safety Devices that have been bypassed must be flagged with out of service tags. The Safety Device functions do not have to be monitored but must be tested and maintained in accordance with API RP 14C.

Tagging A “DANGER, DO NOT OPERATE” weatherproof tag secured with a device that will withstand a minimum of 50 lbs. of pull, and is marked in accordance with the following procedure.

Tagging Procedure The equipment listed in the (Scope), but not limited thereto, shall be tagged in the following manner to ensure the safety of personnel:

Numbered lock on the equipment

Name, identification, condition, and fault or reason for tagging on the corresponding LOTO form

Date, Time, Sign and attach the tag.

If the tag is not readily visible, a flag shall be attached.

Notify your immediate supervisor if repairs are necessary.

5.2.3. Talos Energy Bypassing and Flagging OOS Equipment

This procedure will be used to properly bypass, flag, and monitor production safety systems and/or devices.

1. Any surface or subsurface safety device, which is bypassed, shall be tagged. The purpose is:

To be in compliance with the regulations.

To be a visual reminder or alert to all personnel that a safety device is in "bypass."

Notify all affected personnel.

2. You may only bypass safety devices required to allow for the safe start-up, testing, maintenance, or

repair. Only the minimum number of safety devices that can be adequately monitored should be taken out

of service.

3. As soon as the task is completed, the safety device or devices must be placed back in service and the tag

removed.

Note: Bypass tags shall also be placed on isolation valves when they are closed and prevent a safety device from performing its designed function, such as the bridle valves for a LSH, LSL, PSV or the hydraulic control line needle valve for a SCSSV.

5.2.4. Secondary Flagging

If a safety device is bypassed in such a manner that its condition or operating mode is not clearly visible then a

second flagging device will be installed on the front of the associated control panel so that it is clearly visible. (I.e.

devices/isolation valve inside control panel, slave panels, plugged relay ports, boat landing ESD, etc.)


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 52 of 110



5.2.5. Bypass Monitoring

Personnel shall monitor the bypassed or blocked-out functions until the safety devices are placed back in service.

An operator is responsible for:

Monitoring the function of the bypassed device.

Directly monitoring the event while in by-pass and not performing other duties.

Assuring monitoring activity occurs on the same platform, same deck level of the component, device or

panel of the bypassed or blocked out function.

Assuring monitoring is not interrupted for reasons such as breaks, lunch or to greet personnel arriving on

the facility including BSEE, company personnel, third party personnel, supervisors, etc.

Monitoring for abnormal conditions and taking corrective action (close inlet valve, ESD platform, etc.) to

prevent an undesirable event. The ability to manually initiate shut-in action in the event of an abnormal

operating condition must be maintained to protect personnel, the environment and equipment.

If a platform experiences repetitive nuisance alarms, address the issue with the respective Foreman or

Facility Engineer.

Operators must minimalize the number of Bypassed – Out of Service equipment or devices to allow the

start-up, testing, or maintenance task to be performed.

The operator shall be in the position to monitor the function of all bypassed devices at all times. If the

operator experiences abnormal conditions not related to the task and the situation becomes

uncontrollable, the operator shall initiate Stop Work Authority and shut in the platform or shut down

equipment and request assistance.

If equipment or device that is placed in bypass not related to routine testing, maintenance or start up, the

bypassed equipment or device must be detailed in the comment section of the morning report.

5.2.6. Remote Monitoring of Bypassed Safety Devices (SCADA Systems)

5.2.6.1. Testing

Remote bypass for testing is not allowed.

Testing bypass must be done at the local control panel.

Must have qualified person monitoring the component.

Maintain communications between component and control panel as necessary.

5.2.6.2. Startup or Reset

The remote operator can place the device in bypass.

This can only be done as part of a reset or startup activity.

The remote operator can only monitor a minimum number of devices. If multiple devices are monitored,

the remote operator shall be able to view the appropriate data on one SCADA screen.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 53 of 110



After the bypass device has cleared, it must be returned to service immediately after the process has

stabilized.

Other site-specific guidelines may be required. These should be documented and maintained at the

remote control facility.

This operation will comply with NTL 2005-G01 and NTL 2009-G24.

5.2.7. BSEE Inspection

Should the BSEE arrive while a safety device(s) is bypassed, immediately notify the BSEE Representative of the

following:

All device(s) that are tagged and bypassed

Why they are bypassed.

How they are being monitored.

Fire Prevention 5.3.

This section explains requirements for fire prevention and protection at Talos Energy facilities to minimize

personal injury, illness, or property damage resulting from fires and/or the products of combustion.

Talos Energy’s philosophy concerning fire prevention, fire control, and firefighting on Talos Energy facilities is as

follows:

Fire Prevention:

We seek to prevent fires on our facilities by following good housekeeping practices, proper hot

work procedures and adherence to the requirements of this plan.

Fire Control:

Fire control is achieved through the use of proper facility design criteria including surface safety

systems and equipment layout.

Fire Fighting:

We will fight fires at the level of personal training, available equipment, and that which the particular situation allows. Our primary concern in a fire situation is personnel safety.

We seek to extinguish incipient stage fires using handheld or portable chemical fire extinguishers when this is a viable option.

The primary use of firefighting equipment beyond extinguishing an incipient level fire is to allow personnel sufficient time to safely escape the platform in a fire situation.

5.3.1. Responding to Fires

General guidelines for responding to fires in the Incipient Stages are as follows:

1. Immediately sound alarm/call for help.

2. Alert personnel in the area.

3. Never try to extinguish a fire without first summoning help.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 54 of 110



If it is safe to do so, try to extinguish the fire using portable fire extinguishers. If it is not practical or possible,

activate the ESD and then keep personnel out of the area until help arrives or initiate platform abandonment

procedures.

If a fire is being fueled by a flammable liquid or gas, shut off the fuel supply before trying to extinguish the fire if

safe to do so.

5.3.2. General Guidelines and Requirements for Fire Prevention:

A current Platform Station Bill illustrating the location and type of all fire extinguishers shall be maintained

and signed by Person in Charge (PIC) on all manned facilities.

Emergency drills and/or training will be conducted at least once per hitch for each crew. The drills shall be

based on realistic situations. The results of these drills will be documented on the Talos Energy Weekly

Drill Report Form Talos – SEMS-2.10-004, and critiqued.

Good housekeeping practices shall be implemented at all work sites.

Combustible materials, such as oil soaked rags, wastes, and shavings shall be kept in metal containers

with lids or in an area far away from any other flammable materials. All containers should be emptied at

regular intervals.

Paper and other combustible materials shall not be allowed to accumulate.

Flammable liquids such as gasoline, kerosene, paint, and lacquer thinner, etc., shall not be used for

cleaning purposes unless approved methods are employed for their safe use.

All solvents and flammable liquids shall be kept in approved and accurately labeled containers per the

Hazard Communication program.

Small quantities of flammable liquids used on the job must be stored in UL-approved and properly labeled

safety containers.

Storage of flammable and combustible liquids indoors is allowed using approved storage cabinets.

When pouring or pumping gasoline or other highly volatile solvents from one container to another,

bonding shall be maintained between the receiving and pouring containers at all times to eliminate the

possibility of static sparks when refueling.

Best practices dictate that any motorized equipment be turned off before refueling. However there may be

special circumstances that require “rapid fueling” of “turbine engine helicopter fueled with Jet A or Jet A1”

only. (Outlined in NFPA 407 Chapter 5 section 21).

5.3.3. Smoking Restrictions

Employees will be allowed to smoke in designated smoking areas only. All platforms must have designated

smoking areas properly posted with boundaries marked, and must have receptacles for safely extinguishing and

securing cigarette butts.

“NO SMOKING” Signs must be posted at the perimeter of bulk fuel storage areas, re-fueling areas, and locations

where flammable liquids are transferred or used.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 55 of 110



5.3.4. Personal Electronic Devices (PED)

Personal electronic devices such as cell phones, pagers, radios, cameras, personal digital assistants, laptops or

similar equipment that are not intrinsically safe shall not be brought into Classified Locations unless the location is

determined to be safe by testing the atmosphere for explosive or flammable concentrations of gas or vapors.

If the atmospheric test indicate that the LEL/LFL is below 10%, then a Hot Work Permit is not required provided

continuous gas monitoring is conducted by the user.

5.3.5. Classified Locations

Classified Locations are defined as Class 1, Division 1 or Class 1, Division 2 locations as referenced in API RP

500 and NEC, Article 500.

A Class 1, Division 1 location is one in which:

Hazardous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors may exist under normal operating conditions;

Hazardous concentrations of flammable gases or vapors may exist frequently because of repair or

maintenance operations or because of leakage;

Breakdown or faulty operation of equipment or processes might release hazardous concentrations of

flammable gases or vapors and might also cause simultaneous failure of electrical equipment.

A Class 1, Division 2 location is one in which:

Volatile flammable liquids or flammable gases are handled, processed or used, but in which the

hazardous liquids, vapors or gases will normally be confined within closed containers or closed systems

from which they can escape only in case of accidental rupture or breakdown of such containers or

systems, or in case of abnormal operation of equipment;

Hazardous concentrations of gases or vapors are normally prevented by positive mechanical ventilation,

and which might become hazardous through failure or abnormal operations of the venting equipment;

Adjacent to a Class 1, Division 1 location and to which hazardous concentrations of gases or vapors

might occasionally be communicated unless the communication is prevented by adequate positive-

pressure ventilation from a source of clean air and safeguards against ventilation failure are provided.

5.3.6. Portable Fire Extinguishers

Only fire extinguishers marked approved by Factory Mutual (FM), Underwriters Lab (UL), the U.S. Coast Guard

(USCG), or other nationally recognized testing laboratory (NRTL) shall be used, and they must be readily and

safely accessible at all times.

Fire extinguishers must be provided and maintained on all Talos Energy owned or leased mobile

equipment.

Placement and types of portable fire extinguishers shall be in accordance with the BSEE approved station

bill.

Portable fire extinguishers must be maintained in fully charged and operable condition at all times.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 56 of 110



Fire extinguishers shall be visually inspected monthly and documented by the operator or their

representative.

All portable fire extinguishers must be hydrostatically tested and maintained according to manufacturer’s

recommendations.

Portable fire extinguishers must have an annual maintenance check. The annual maintenance date

should be recorded and the record retained for one year after the last entry or the life of the extinguisher,

whichever is less. Only qualified persons shall make these inspections.

Monthly, documented inspections shall be made of all portable fire suppression equipment to ensure the

equipment is accessible and ready for immediate use.

Electrical Safety 5.4.

This section provides safe electrical work practices to reduce and prevent risks of electrical incidents from

occurring.

5.4.1. Qualified Individual (QI)

Working safely with electricity requires special knowledge of a Qualified Individual (QI). A QI has the skills and

techniques for avoiding the electrical hazards. This person will be familiar with the safety-related work practices

that pertain to electrical jobs.

A QI has the skills and techniques necessary to:

Distinguish exposed live parts from other parts of electrical equipment;

Determine the nominal voltage of exposed live parts;

Determine the clearance distances required and the corresponding voltages to which the qualified person

will be exposed.

5.4.2. Electrical Safety Precautions

Several precautions must be taken when working with electricity:

Only QIs using approved materials may install or repair any electrical equipment.

Consider all electrical conductors energized until proven otherwise.

De-energize all before beginning work.

Use a LOTO procedure to prevent the electrical circuits from being inadvertently energized.

Use suitable PPE such as rubber gloves, mats, and blankets to provide insulation from other elements,

which are energized or grounded.

Personnel may not wear rings, earrings, watches, or other similar metallic objects while working on

energized electrical equipment.

Rubber gloves need to be inspected before each job. Usually, the air test is used to check the gloves. It is

recommended to inspect the glove “protector” before each use for worn spots, holes or tears.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 57 of 110



Defective gloves are to be discarded. It is good practice to perform a comprehensive voltage-leakage test

on the gloves every 6 months or replace them.

Electrical interlocks may not be rendered out of order by removal, modification, or destruction.

Blown fuses may be replaced only with the proper type and rating.

When using ladders to work on or near electrical equipment or conductors, only a non-conducive type

may be used. The use of metal ladders is prohibited around electrical components.

Never use defective electrical equipment or defective extension cords. Those may be tagged, flagged,

locked-out and reported to a supervisor immediately.

Do not pull an electrical cord to shut off power to any equipment.

Pay particular attention to the condition of extension cords to make sure they are in good condition. Make

sure that there are no splices and all connections are protected from weather.

It is recommended that connections be of the three-prong type and connected to properly grounded

circuits.

It is also recommended that electric power tools utilizing extension cords or temporary wiring shall be

protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).

5.4.3. Power Lines

Power lines require special precautions.

All power lines may be considered energized unless proper measures have been taken for de-energizing.

When work is being performed near energized overhead power lines, any part of the crane, boom, mast,

gin poles or machinery is not be permitted within 10 feet of the power lines rated 50 kV or below.

Above 50 kV, 0.4 inches per kV should be added. Nonconductive measuring devices may be used when

it is necessary to verify clearances.

For lines energized above 50 kV, it is advisable to consult power line experts.

Work near power lines may require permitting.

Pipe or Vessel Purge 5.5.

This section provides safe operating practices and guidelines for performing a pipe or vessel purge.

Purging operations are used either to clear in-service lines of hydrocarbons or for commissioning open lines to

evacuate the oxygen prior to introducing hydrocarbons. Improper purging of equipment, vessels or lines can

cause explosive mixtures to form that can cause an explosion.

Choose the most appropriate purge method:

Pressurization purging (blow down); this purge method is considered superior to other purge methods. If

a system filled with a combustible liquid needs to be emptied and then purged, a purge gas may be

applied to the vapor space at a pressure consistent with equipment design limitations. This procedure


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 58 of 110



thus empties the vessel and purges the vapor space in the same process. Examples: pressure vessels,

manifolds and entire plant or platform process systems. This procedure shall not be used on atmospheric

tanks.

1. Introduce a purge gas to increase system pressure to 15 psig, followed by depressurization to the

atmosphere.

2. A minimum of four (4) pressure-de-pressure cycles at 15 psig will be required to purge a vessel at

atmospheric pressure.

Displacement purging (slug) or inerting; a line that has been opened to air can be purged with an inert

gas slug that is followed by natural gas. The slug must be of sufficient volume to prevent the original and

chase gas from mixing. Slow flow rates are used for the inert gas slug and the first portion of the chase

gas. The flow rate can then be increased for the remaining chase gas if laminar flow is maintained to

avoid mixing. Example: pipelines.

3. Introduce an inert purge gas until a buffer or separation zone is established, followed by the

introduction of a chase gas of a different type.

In-service hydrocarbon gas might be purged by an inert gas slug followed by compressed air. Dilution

purging (sweep-through); introducing a purge gas at one opening and letting the system contents escape

through another opening at the opposite end of the system. This is the least economical method.

Consider siphon purging for thin-walled vessels and tanks or pressurization purging for pressure vessels.

Example: produced water tanks.

Siphon purging; filling the system with a liquid and introducing a purge gas into the vapor space to

replace the liquid as it is drained from the system. The volume of purge gas required will be equal to the

volume of the system, and the rate of application can be made to correspond to the rate of draining, plus

any effects from temperature change. Examples: pressure vessels and tanks.

Water flush; the water flush process is primarily used to clean in-service lines prior to hot work or system

entry.

4. Fill and flush the system with water to remove residual hydrocarbon from the pipe, vessel or process

component walls.

5. Soap may be added as an agent to enhance the removal of the residual hydrocarbon.

Several precautions need to be kept in mind for purging operations.

It is a good idea to continue purging of piping open to the atmosphere until the residual air and purge gas

has an oxygen level below five percent when using an inert purge gas and below one percent when using

a hydrocarbon sweep-through purge.

Natural gas should be vented away from fired vessels, compressors, electric motors, etc. If possible, vent

gas to the low-pressure vent system or flare to prevent a build-up near equipment or personnel. Purging

to a flare would require the use of inert gas in order to prevent oxygen/hydrocarbon mixtures developing

inside the flare header.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 59 of 110



Remember that inert gas is an asphyxiant. Prior to entering a vessel or a confined space, it is industry

practice to follow a vessel and confined space entry procedure.

LEL monitors are limited in their ability to accurately read levels of combustible gas above the upper

explosive limit (UEL) or in low oxygen levels. It is recommended to make sure that low or zero readings

are not being caused by the absence of oxygen or by high combustible gas levels.

Residual liquids, rust, scale or coatings on vessel walls can continuously release vapors into the

enclosure. A single testing of the atmosphere may indicate a full purge has been accomplished, while

later readings can indicate high levels. It is advisable to perform frequent sampling at several sampling

points.

When hydrocarbon gas is used to purge air, it is advisable to limit the pressure to 30 psig or 1/10

maximum vessel design pressure, whichever is less. It is also advisable to adhere to this limitation since

an internal ignition can generate pressures up to 10 times the pre-ignition pressure. This will require three

or more pressure-depressure cycles.

When returning equipment to service after purging, it is recommended to do pressure staging gradually in 100-psi increments

until 200 psi is reached. Thereafter, staging may be done in 250-psi increments until working pressure is reached.

It is important to remember that open piping may be purged with hydrocarbon gas when:

A safe vent point is available

The system being purged has minimal dead zones.

Compressors downstream are thoroughly purged or were not contaminated with air.

When using steam as a purging agent, it is good practice to monitor the system pressure frequently in order to

avoid creating vacuums when the steam condenses.

Pipeline Pigging 5.6.

This section provides safe operating practices and guidelines for pipeline pigging.

Pigging is a common practice used for commissioning and maintaining pipelines. Pigs of various configurations

are used to sweep out undesirable solids, de-water, reduce held-up liquids, or perform electronic measurements

of the integrity of pipelines.

The risks involved in pigging operations are usually associated with the unusually high rates of flow as the pig

approaches the receiving station. To reduce the hazards associated with pigging:

Follow written pigging procedures.

Check all critical shutdowns, control valves, site glasses, etc. for proper operation prior to launching the

pig.

Check the pig receiver prior to launching the pig. Insure that the tube is clean of debris, that any safety

interlocks on the door are installed and operating correctly, and that the pig signal (if so equipped) is

working properly.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 60 of 110



Ensure that all personnel at the receiving site understand which valve(s) can safely stop flow into the

facility. Each person on site should understand how to operate this valve(s) and be familiar with all

6.0 CRANE OPERATIONS, MAINTENANCE, RIGGING, AND LIFTING

Cranes are built, operated, maintained, and inspected in accordance with the American Petroleum Institute (API)

Recommended Practices (RP) 2C and 2D as well as manufacturer’s recommendations and/or industry standards.

The following table determines which edition of the RP that will be utilized for the respective manufacturing date:

Crane Manufacturing Date API RP 2C API RP 2D

2010 – Current 6th Edition 6th Edition

2007 – 2009 6th Edition 5th Edition

2003 – 2006 5th Edition 4th Edition

Before 2003 5th Edition 3rd Edition

The following Crane, Maintenance, Rigging, and Lifting procedures provide instructions and safe practices

involved with crane maintenance, rigging, and lifting.

General Requirements 6.1.

Talos personnel (appropriate associated Supervisor, Foremen, or Lead platform operators) will witness,

document, and sign off on all inspections, maintenance, and repairs conducted by third party contractor.

All written documentation of third party inspection, maintenance, or repairs will be verbally reviewed

and/or discussed with the appropriate field Production Foreman.

Production and Maintenance foremen will audit a certified crane inspection school.

If deficiencies are identified that impair safe operation, the crane will be put out-of-service (OOS) and/or restricted;

the deficiencies must be identified and documented until repairs are made.

Crane Operator 6.2.

Before any personnel are allowed to operate a crane, supervision shall ensure that the crane operator is qualified

in accordance with the API RP 2D Standard.

Only the following personnel shall operate cranes:

Qualified crane operators that have met and passed certification requirements

Trainees under the direct supervision of a Qualified Crane Operator

Appropriate maintenance and supervisory personnel, when it is necessary to do so in the performance of their duties

Qualified Inspectors in the performance of their duties


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 61 of 110



Crane operator and rigger qualifications as defined in API RP 2D must be current, documented, and filed

on offshore platforms.

All operators of powered lifting devices shall be trained, certified, and experienced for the equipment to be

operated. Operators shall keep their certification onsite at all times.

Before a lift begins, the crane operator is responsible for and shall ensure the following:

An assessment of the lift has been completed.

The lift method and equipment have been determined by a competent person.

The crane and load is properly configured.

The outriggers and cribbing are being used at all times while performing lifts.

6.2.1. Riggers

Personnel performing rigging operations of cargo, equipment, personnel baskets, etc. from the deck of a boat or

motor vessel shall be trained in accordance with the latest edition of API RP 2D.

Only trained or credentialed workers may operate rigging, hoisting, or lifting devices.

6.2.2. Operating Crew

The crane operating crew shall conduct a pre-operational inspection to ensure the following:

The crane and rigging equipment are configured properly.

Controls and safety devices are working properly.

The crane, wire ropes, reeling system, and all rigging hardware are in good condition and are adequately

rated for the intended load.

Crane Operations 6.3.

6.3.1. Load Charts

All cranes have load charts and boom angle indicators located at the operator’s positions. Review the lift and

crane radius when the lifted load exceeds the dynamic crane capacity.

6.3.2. Crane Safety Procedures

Any question or issue involving safe crane operating procedures shall be discussed with a Talos Production

Foreman, Talos HSE Advisor, or Talos Superintendent before proceeding with lift operation.

Cranes shall be operated at the manufacturers specifications.

Operation of crane in winds above 30 knots (35 mph) is prohibited unless approved by a Talos foreman.

If a piece of equipment is within 60 percent of the crane’s rated capacity, then a weight certificate from

certified scales must be presented before the equipment is stored on the vessel and transported.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 62 of 110



If the crane is not equipped with a calibrated weight indicator, one shall be included in the rigging for all

well P&A operations, including pulling tubulars.

Before any transported lifts are made, a manifest of all lifts that includes weights shall be forwarded to the

platform for crane operators’ review as part of crane pre-use inspections.

All wire slings and nylon straps must have proper tagging.

Onshore vendor provided equipment shall have sling certification provided with the pre-lift

provided manifest.

The API RP 2D hand signals shall be used for all crane operations (Refer to Section 6.4).

The operator must never start machine movement until the signalman is in sight and hand signals are understood.

The operator must obey an emergency stop signal given by anyone.

Only one rigger may be designated as signalman at any time.

Use radio communications in addition to hand signals when possible.

Rest the crane boom in its cradle when the crane is not in operation.

6.3.3. Rigging Safety

Before lifting any type of load it is important that the rigging is properly set up by the personnel performing the

work. Contractors may be asked to use their own rigging equipment or the operator may provide the equipment to

the contractor for use. In either circumstance, the worker must ensure that the rigging set up for the job is safe

and conforms to good industry practices.

The following safety rules must be followed when rigging up a load for a lift:

Workers not involved with the rigging and lifting operation shall keep clear of the lifting operation.

Personnel must be in the clear at all times and must not walk, stand, or work under suspended loads.

Never ride on a load being hoisted.

The information provided in this section is a general guide for rigging operations. Workers can obtain more

information from books and references about rigging.

6.3.4. Sling Safety

Selecting the right type and number of slings is important in the rigging process.

Slings must have the date that they are manufactured marked on them.

Use only slings that appear to be in good repair.

Slings, fittings, and fastenings are normally inspected before being used on each load.

Fabric slings must be inspected for any cuts, abrasions, or stitching that has failed.

Wire rope slings shall be replaced if 10 random wires or 5 wires in one strand in one lay are broken.

Wire rope slings shall be replaced if there is wearing, scraping, kinking, gouging, bird caging, corrosion, or heat damage to the cable.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 63 of 110



Slings found to be defective must be destroyed.

Cut fiber slings so that they can no longer be used.

Wire rope slings can be cut with a saw or cutting torch.

All nylon straps shall be kept in covered storage and out of the weather elements.

All slings must be hung up in a dedicated location off-of-deck.

A documented sling inspection will be performed during each annual inspection. Inspections will be

documented on the Talos-SEMS-2.8.014 Annual Sling Inspection form.

Contractor supplied slings shall not be more than one year old. Any third-party supplied slings over one

year old will be replaced prior to making the lift.

6.3.5. Lifting Operations

6.3.5.1. Equipment Selection

Equipment must be appropriate for the site and the work to be done. Selection criteria include:

Load characteristics (type, size and weight)

Swing capacity

Rated load capacity

Height of lift

Operating speeds

6.3.5.2. Work Area Isolation

Install barricades around cranes to restrict access. When isolating for hoisting or lifting work areas, give special

consideration to the following:

Do not let any person stand on, under, or in the path of any object being lifted.

Do not let any person stand in a tank excavation.

Be aware of adjacent obstacles to avoid trapping personnel.

6.3.5.3. Plan the Lift

Size Up the Load:

The load to be lifted must be examined to determine weight; proper lifting points, and if there is any loose

equipment that needs to be removed.

Select the proper slings for the job:

The slings must be in good shape, of the proper length, and strong enough to carry the load.

The length of the sling depends on the height of the load, and how high the crane needs to lift the load.

Be careful not to exceed the sling rating by increasing the angle between the hook and the sling lift point.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 64 of 110



The load that slings must carry is higher as the angle increases. For example, a vertical sling is rated for 100 percent of the load it carries. Two slings connected by a hook but are spread out 30 degrees by anchor points on the load must carry an additional 3.5 percent. The extreme case is where two slings are spread out 120 degrees. In this case, each leg of sling carries twice the normal load as compared to a vertical sling.

6.3.5.4. Lifting Plan

Every heavy lift with mechanical equipment must be planned before the lift begins. A heavy lift is defined as a lift

that is 75 percent or greater of the defined charted maximum dynamic or static rating at the associated radius. At

a minimum, the following factors must be considered:

For the defined “heavy lift”, special planning shall be incorporated during JSAs; such as hazardous cargo

(liquid nitrogen tanks, acid tanks, pressurized vessels, etc.)

When a defined heavy lift is made over a sensitive area, wells and production vessels in the sensitive

area should be shut in.

Swing radius or travel path of the proposed lift

Load does not exceed the dynamic and/or static capacities of the lifting equipment

Barricade the work area

Weather conditions

Control lines

If the load needs to be guided or stabilized, control lines may be used. Control lines must be connected before the load is raised

Do not attempt to connect control lines if the load is suspended

Use proper API RP 2D hand signals

Hazardous surroundings and conditions such as power lines, flammable atmospheres, and nearby

excavations that may cause shifting soil.

The pick area and set area must be identified and barricaded

6.3.5.5. Pre-lift meeting

The workers must conduct a pre-job safety meeting before executing a heavy lift to discuss the work to be

performed, hazards, and conditions that may have changed.

Complete a JSA.

A JSA Form (Talos-SEMS-2.3-002) shall be completed during this meeting.

6.3.5.6. Check Crane and Surrounding Areas

When preparing to rig a lift, first ensure that the crane or hoist being used is capable of making the lift.

Determine the dead weight of the load to be lifted.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 65 of 110



Ensure that the crane or hoist is rated above the weight of the load for all boom angles that may be

encountered.

Next, determine if there are any objects or obstructions that would either restrict the movement of the crane’s

boom, or in the path of the required swing area for the load.

Ensure that all objects or obstructions are moved or removed so that the load will not be impacted.

6.3.5.7. Install Tag Lines

Tag lines must be examined for use with the load. The purpose of a tag line is to control the load so that it is

positioned correctly when being lifted, swung, or lowered by the crane.

Before the crane is moved, personnel using the tag lines must ensure that the lines are free and are not

knotted.

Personnel must ensure that the lines are not wrapped around the hand or wrist.

The operator, signal person, and load handlers must ensure that the load is never over any person.

6.3.5.8. Make the Lift

A final check of the slings, hooks, tag lines, and the load must be performed just before the lift is made. The crane

operator shall lift the load slightly off the ground to ensure that the load is balanced and all equipment is working

properly.

If any of the following conditions exist, one qualified signal person must work with the crane operator:

Personnel assisting with the load are out of the crane operator’s vision.

The moving load cannot be seen by the crane operator.

Other conditions warrant use of a spotter.

All personnel, including those holding the tag lines, must never walk or work under the suspended load.

Crane Inspection and Maintenance 6.7.

Inspect cranes using the Talos-SEMS-2.8-008 Pre-Use Crane Inspection Form, latest edition.

All quarterly and annual crane inspections will be performed by a documented certified crane inspector in

accordance the scope specified in API RP 2D. Heavy lift inspections will follow the same requirements as

annual inspections without the associated PMs and do not reset the annual inspection due date. When

there is a call out for an inspection, the contractor will submit certifications for all proposed mobilized

personnel for approval to the Talos field Production Foreman.

A heavy lift inspection will be performed before any lift that is 75 percent or greater of the defined charted

maximum dynamic or static rating (at the associated radius).

The lift angle indicator shall be verified for correct operational movement and accuracy as per API RP 2D

during all heavy lifts inspections. The lift angle indicator should indicate zero degrees with the boom in

the horizontal position and it should move to indicate increasing angle when elevating the boom.

A portable crane shall be tested and certified prior to its initial use and after final assembly of a portable

crane. The test is normally performed by a third-party qualified crane inspector. The test includes but is

not limited to:

Load test; a portable crane may never be put into operation without successfully undergoing a load test

Load-hoisting and lowering mechanisms

Auxiliary hoisting and lowering mechanisms

Boom-hoisting and lowering mechanisms

Swing mechanisms and brakes

Helicopter warning light if the crane is used on a platform with a heliport

Crane engine remote activated ESDs, a muffler, and flame arrestor

Proper spooling of cable

An annual crane inspection shall be performed within 30 days on any platform that has performed acid

flow back well work. (The 30 days start upon completion and the rig down of the flow back job).

A load lift or pull test to 100 percent of load chart capability shall be performed and documented for each

annual and heavy lift inspection. A pre-use inspection is required upon completion of a pull test.

6.7.1. Wire Cable and/or Rope Maintenance

During inspection, all wire ropes and/or cables shall be visually inspected their entire length for proper

lubrication and/or existence of excessive corrosion in presence of Talos personnel.

Where necessary, proper application of wire lubricant via glove or rag methods will be witnessed by Talos

personnel.

Lubricant shall be Lubriplate super lubricant, unless an alternative is approved by Talos Production

Superintendent.

Replace wire cable and/or rope any time visual inspection indicates abnormal wear conditions, otherwise

use the following guidelines:


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 70 of 110



Heavy use category cranes every year

Moderate use category cranes every two years

Infrequent/light usage cranes every three years

Category usage is hours/month over last inspection year as defined by API RP 2D.

The cable shall be inspected for embedded sand when there has been sandblasting in the vicinity of the

crane.

6.7.2. Hooks and Slings

The following guidelines shall be used for hooks and slings:

Only use hooks that are self-closing.

Ensure that all slings have a maximum-rated load weight tag attached.

Do not use slings if:

They are in poor condition

Cannot be thoroughly inspected visually

Certification tags are missing.

Destroy and discard slings that are found to be in poor condition.

Slings must be stored properly when not in use.

Do not lay slings in any liquids or chemicals.

Wire Rope, Drum, and Sheave Inspection Guidelines 6.8.

6.8.1. Installing the Wedge and Socket

It is essential to use only a wedge and socket of the correct size for the rope fitted. Failure to do so

may result in the rope pulling through the fitting.

1. Inspect the wedge and socket; remove any rough edges and burrs.

2. The end of the wire rope should be seized using soft or annealed wire or strand. If the end of

the rope is welded, the welded end should be cut off. This will allow the distortion of the rope

strands, caused by the bend around the wedge, to adjust themselves at the end of the line.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 71 of 110



Figure 6 - Wedge and Socket

3. Ensure the live-loaded-side of the rope is directly in line with the ears of the socket and the direction of

pull to which the rope will be subjected. If the rope is loaded into the socket incorrectly, under a load the

rope will bend as it leaves the socket and the edge of the socket will wear into the rope causing damage

to the rope and eventual failure.

4. Insert the end of a wire rope into the socket, form a loop in the rope, and route the rope back through the

socket allowing the “dead” end to protrude from the socket. Ensure the dead end of the rope is of

sufficient length to apply end treatment to the dead end after the wedge has been seated.

5. Insert the wedge into the loop and pull the live end of the rope until the wedge and rope are snug inside

the socket. It is recommended that the wedge be seated inside the socket to properly secure the wire

rope by using the crane’s hoist to first apply a light load to the live line.

6. After final pin connections are made, increase the loads gradually until the wedge is properly seated.

7. The wire rope and wedge must be properly secured inside the socket before placing the crane into lifting

service. It is the wedge that secures the wire rope inside the socket whereas the dead-end treatment is

used to restrain the wedge from becoming dislodged from the socket should the rope suddenly become

unloaded from the headache ball or hook block striking the ground, etc.

Diagrams A through F illustrate various methods for treating the dead-ends of wire ropes which egress a wedge

and socket assembly.


Rev. No.: 4

Figure 7 Wire Rope Clip and Wedge Assembly

When using Method-A, place a wire rope clip around the dead end by clamping a short extra piece of rope to the

rope dead end. DO NOT CLAMP THE LIVE END. The U-bolt should bear against the dead end. The saddle of

the clip should bear against the short extra piece. Torque the U-bolts according to the figures listed in the chart

titled Wire Rope Clip Torque Values.

6.8.2. Sheaves

Examine the sheave grooves for wear and proper diameter. Check the size, con tour and amount of wear using a

sheave gage. The gage should contact the groove for about 150 degrees of arc. Inspect the fleet angle for poor

sheave alignment. The fleet angle is the side or included, angle between a line drawn through the middle of a

sheave and a drum, perpendicular to the axis of each, and a line drawn from the intersection of the drum and its

flange to the base of the groove in the sheave. The intersection of the drum and its flange represents the farthest

position to which the rope can travel across the drum. There are left and right angles, measured to the left or right

of the center line of the sheave, respectively. It is important to maintain a proper fleet angle on installations where

wire rope against the flanges of the sheave groove, or crushing and abrasion of the rope of the drum. This angle,

for maximum efficiency and service, should not be more than 1-1/2 degrees for a smooth drum, nor more than 2

degrees if the drum is grooved.

6.8.3. Wire Rope Drums

Inspect the flanges for wear, chips, cracks, and bending. Inspect the Lebus grooving (if equipped), visor and

kicker plates for wear. Inspect for rope imprinting damage.

6.8.4. Other Conditions

1. Corrugated sheaves should be machined or replaced.

2. Worn sheaves that are wearing to one side should be moved to correct the fleet angle and alignment.

3. Broken flanges can enable the rope to jump the sheave and become badly cut or sheared. Replace the

sheaves.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 74 of 110



4. Out-of-round sheaves with a flat spot throws a “whip” into the rope at every sheave revolution. This may

cause wire rope fatigue at the attachment end. Machine or replace the sheave.

5. For synthetic sheaves or synthetic lined steel sheaves, the rope must be carefully examined for diameter

reduction or lengthening of lay, even if no visible damage is observed. Synthetic sheaves greatly increase

the contact area between the wire rope and sheave, by cushioning the rope. This cushioning effect

causes wire rope to wear internally before damage is noted on the outer wires. The inspector must be

diligent in the detection of diameter reduction and lay lengthening to prevent catastrophic failure from

internal core damage.

Overhead Risks 6.9.

Always be aware of overhead power lines and keep clear of them. If lifting is required in close proximity to power

lines, use non-electrical-conducting tag lines for guiding loads.

Always presume that all overhead utility lines are energized.

Have the owner verify that the line is not energized and the line has been visibly isolated.

Keep the crane and load at least 10 feet away from any overhead utility lines.

Distances greater than 10 feet apply for power lines rated higher than 50 kV. Any hazards within these

guidelines must be protected by the utility company.

6.9.1. Minimum Clearance Distances

Usually the distance between power lines and the boom, mast, crane, or load is a minimum of 10 feet with 50 kV

or below power lines. Above 50 kV it is usually recommended to add 0.4 inches per kV.

Voltage (nominal, kV, alternating current)

Minimum clearance distance (feet)

Up to 50 10

Over 50 to 200 15

Over 200 to 350 20

Hoisting Personnel for Marine Transfer 6.10.

When hoisting employees solely for transfer to or from a marine worksite, the following requirements must be met.

The employee must be in either a personnel platform or a marine-hoisted personnel transfer device.

The transfer device must be used only for transferring workers.

The number of workers occupying the transfer device must not exceed the maximum number it was

designed to hold.

Each employee must wear a U.S. Coast Guard personal flotation device approved for industrial use.

6.10.1. Personnel Lifting Safety

The following safety practices shall be followed when lifting personnel:

Hooks with a positive locking mechanism shall be used, and kept pinned closed.

No one may ride on leads, buckets, or hooks suspended from a crane, boom, or derrick.

Heavy machinery, equipment, or parts that are suspended by slings or hoists shall be blocked or cribbed.

Do not permit workers to work underneath them until they are cribbed.

No personnel shall be allowed to stand under or near a cable under tension.

The crane operator may not carry a load above personnel on the floor.

6.10.2. Crane Suspended Personnel Baskets

The use of a crane suspended personnel basket is permitted only when it has been clearly established that

conventional means to perform the work would be more hazardous or is not possible because of structural

designs or worksite conditions.

6.10.2.1. Equipment Criteria

When the occupied personnel platform is in a stationary working position, the load and boom hoist brakes, swing

brakes, and operator actuated secondary braking and locking features (such as pawls or dogs) or automatic

secondary brakes must be engaged.

The total weight of a loaded personnel work basket/platform or personnel transfer basket shall not exceed

personnel rating on the crane. The total weight shall include the weight of the empty basket/platform, the weight

of the personnel, and any associated equipment, baggage, or work material. Under no circumstances can a

crane without a personnel rating and positive locking device on the hook be used to lift, hold, or transfer

personnel.

6.10.2.2. Personnel Platform Criteria

The system used to connect the personnel platform to the equipment must allow the platform to remain

within 10 degrees of level, regardless of boom angle.

The suspension system must be designed to minimize tipping of the platform due to movement of


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 76 of 110



employees occupying the platform.

The personnel platform itself (excluding the guardrail system and personal fall arrest system anchorages),

must be capable of supporting, without failure, its own weight and at least five times the maximum

intended load.

A grab rail must be installed inside the entire perimeter of the personnel platform except for access gates

or doors.

6.10.2.3. Personnel Platform Loading

The personnel platform must not be loaded in excess of its rated capacity.

Use:

Personnel platforms must be used only for employees, their tools, and the materials necessary to do their work.

Platforms must not be used to hoist toolboxes, items with sharp edges or heavy pieces of equipment.

The number of employees occupying the personnel platform must not exceed the maximum number the

platform was designed to hold or the number required to perform the work, whichever is less.

6.10.2.4. Trial lift and Inspection

A trial lift with the unoccupied personnel platform loaded at least to the anticipated lift weight must be made from

ground level, or any other location where employees will enter the platform, to each location at which the platform

is to be hoisted and positioned.

The trial lift must be performed immediately prior to each shift in which personnel will be hoisted. In addition, the

trial lift must be repeated prior to hoisting employees in each of the following circumstances:

The PIC must determine that:

Safety devices and operational aids required by this section are activated and functioning properly.

Nothing interferes with the equipment or the personnel platform in the course of the trial lift.

The lift will not exceed 50 percent of the equipment's rated capacity at any time during the lift.

The load radius to be used during the lift has been accurately determined.

Immediately after the trial lift, the competent person must:

Conduct a visual inspection of the equipment, base support or ground, and personnel platform, to

determine whether the trial lift has exposed any defect or problem or produced any adverse effect.

Confirm that, upon the completion of the trial lift process, the test weight has been removed.

Immediately prior to each lift:

The platform must be hoisted a few inches with the personnel and materials/tools on board and inspected

by a competent person to ensure that it is secure and properly balanced.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 77 of 110



The following conditions must be determined by a competent person to exist before the lift of personnel proceeds:

Hoist ropes must be free of deficiencies.

Multiple part lines must not be twisted around each other.

The primary attachment must be centered over the platform.

If the load rope is slack, the hoisting system must be inspected to ensure that all ropes are properly

seated on drums and in sheaves.

Any condition found during the trial lift and subsequent inspection(s) that fails to meet a requirement of this

procedure or otherwise creates a safety hazard must be corrected before hoisting personnel.

6.10.2.5. Proof Testing

At each jobsite, prior to hoisting employees on the personnel platform, and after any repair or modification, the

platform and rigging must be proof tested to 125 percent of the platform's rated capacity. The proof test may be

done concurrently with the trial lift.

The platform must be lowered by controlled load lowering, braked, and held in a suspended position for a

minimum of five minutes with the test load evenly distributed on the platform.

After proof testing, a competent person must inspect the platform and rigging to determine if the test has been

passed. If any deficiencies are found that pose a safety hazard, the platform and rigging must not be used to hoist

personnel unless the deficiencies are corrected, the test is repeated, and a competent person determines that the

test has been passed.

Personnel hoisting must not be conducted until the competent person determines that the platform and rigging

have successfully passed the proof test.

6.10.2.6. Personnel Hoisting Safe Work Practices

Hoisting of the personnel platform must be performed in a slow, controlled, cautious manner, with no

sudden movements of the equipment or the platform.

Employees being hoisted must remain in direct communication with the signal person (where used), or

the operator.

Platform occupants must:

Keep all parts of the body inside the platform during raising, lowering, and horizontal movement. This provision does not apply to an occupant of the platform when necessary to position the platform or while performing the duties of a signal person.

Not stand, sit on, or work from the top or intermediate rail or toeboard, nor use any other means or device to raise their working height.

Not pull the platform out of plumb in relation to the hoisting equipment.

Except over water, employees occupying the personnel platform must be provided and use a personal fall arrest system. The system must be attached to a structural member within the personnel platform.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 78 of 110



Before employees exit or enter a hoisted personnel platform that is not landed, the platform must be

secured to the structure where the work is to be performed, unless the employer can demonstrate that

securing to the structure would create a greater hazard.

If the platform is tied to the structure, the operator must not move the platform until the operator receives

confirmation that it is freely suspended.

Tag lines must be used when necessary to control the platform.

6.10.2.7. Environmental Conditions

Wind:

When wind speed (sustained or gusts) exceeds 20 mph at the personnel platform, the PIC must

determine if, in light of the wind conditions, it is not safe to lift personnel. If it is not, the lifting

operation must not begin (or, if already in progress, must be terminated).

Other weather and environmental conditions:

A qualified person must determine if, in light of indications of dangerous weather conditions, or

other impending or existing danger, it is not safe to lift personnel. If it is not, the lifting operation

must not begin (or, if already in progress, must be terminated).

Winch Operating Safety 6.11.

Size-up load. If weight is unknown, or cannot be calculated, use a calibrated weight indicator.

Inspect winch lines before each use and document monthly.

Do not use damaged equipment.

Do not leave winch controls unattended while winch is operating.

When using snatch blocks and deadmen, keep path inside of the winch line clear of personnel and

unnecessary equipment.

6.11.1. Deadman Winch Load

Center the load under the hoist or directly in front of the winch.

Attach slings to skid loads so that the angle between the sling and the skid base will not be less than 45

degrees.

Ensure that the load is balanced since skid-mounted loads can be “top heavy.”

Make sure chains or slings are placed properly in the hook.

Secure load before moving. Minimize the distance that suspended loads are being carried.

Stand clear and keep fingers clear whenever tension is being applied to a winch line.

Never stand under a suspended load or in front of a skidded load.

Slowly take up slack.

Do not let line slip through hands.

Use leather palm gloves when handling winch line.

During lifting or pulling always use slings; never wrap line around the load.

Observe winch line to ensure it does not “tangle” in the winch spool.

Lift or pull load a few inches to test balance and reset slings as necessary to balance load.

Use soft lines for tag lines to control motion when moving short distances.

Move loads slowly.

Carefully release load binders (boomers). Stand to the side of binder handle.

Secure winch line when not in use. Keep fingers clear of tailboard when securing hook.

Never attach hook to cable using a knot in end of cable.

7.0 CONTROL OF WORK

This section describes a systematic approach to be applied to control hazards during all work activities.

Safe Work Control 7.1.

Safe work control requires the involvement of competent and responsible persons as well as the application of

precautionary safety measures. It ensures that responsibility and accountability for safe working practices are

passed in a logical sequence to those responsible for the work being performed and ensures that specified

effective safeguards are provided.

Safe Work Control has four key features:

1. Limits potentially harmful effects of the actions of persons doing work by specifying safety precautions

and setting limits to the duration and extent of the work.

2. Encourages attention to safe work practices, by requiring specified individuals to confirm that all hazards

have been identified and effective precautions taken.

3. Encourages those responsible for overall site safety to plan the sequence of tasks so that minimal

inconvenience and interference is caused to other tasks or production.

4. Allows those responsible for overall site safety to:

be aware of the various hazardous activities

identify hazardous interactions

prioritize conflicting work tasks

7.1.1. Job Safety Analysis

A JSA shall be completed before beginning any planned work to identify hazards associated with the work scope

and implement safeguards to eliminate or mitigate those hazards prior to starting work (Reference Talos Energy

SEMS Manual Talos-COMP-001).

7.1.2. Work Authorization Procedure

Refer to the Work Authorization Flowchart on the following page.

1. Determine if work task involves hazards.

2. Complete a Job Safety Analysis.

3. Determine if isolations or other permits (LOTO, hot work, confined space, etc.) are required.

4. The JSA Form becomes the master control document for all authorized work. Copies of all other required

permits and check sheets shall be attached to the JSA Form.

5. Ensure that all other applicable permits and LOTO check sheets are issued.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 82 of 110



6. When all requirements of the JSA have been satisfied and all documentation is signed, the PIC or

Authorized Person can authorize the work and shall file the documentation in a work folder.

7. After completing the work, the JSA must be signed and closed out to allow the equipment to be brought

back into service.

7.1.3. Stopping Work

If the scope of work changes in any way from what was evaluated in the JSA, the work shall be stopped

immediately. Work shall not commence until a new JSA and applicable permits are completed and approved.

Stop work immediately if the platform/facility/location is shut in for any emergency situation. Work shall not

continue until the emergency has been resolved and the PIC authorizes work to resume.

All personnel, contractors and visitors have the authority and responsibility to stop work or decline to perform an

assigned task when an immediate risk or danger exists.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 83 of 110



7.1.4. Shift Change and Replacement Personnel

Adequate communication must take place when there is a shift change or a change of personnel at the jobsite.

Provisions shall be made for adequate communication of work activities to shift change and replacement

personnel. Contractors shall be included in these communications when they perform the work or are affected by

it.

Stop Work Authority 7.2.

Stop Work Authority empowers every individual with the authority and responsibility to stop work when an unsafe

condition or act is observed that could affect the safety of personnel and/or the environment.

Talos Energy is committed to providing a safe work environment. All personnel have the responsibility to stop the

job if unsafe conditions exist. Under NO circumstances shall repercussions be directed towards personnel who

exercise Stop Work Authority (SWA).

The use of Stop Work Authority must be discussed in all pre-job planning and JSA.

If an unsafe condition or act is observed:

Take immediate action by stopping the work.

Individuals who receive a notification to stop work must comply with that direction immediately.

Notify the immediate supervisor of the conducted work.

The immediate supervisor of the conducted work is responsible for ensuring the work is stopped in an

orderly and safe manner.

Discuss and/or determine corrective measures with all involved.

Review and/or revise JSA as necessary.

If the unsafe condition or act involves an imminent risk or danger, the following is also required:

Notify the person with UWA of the Stop Work event.

Work may only resume once approval is granted by the individual with UWA for the specific operation or

activity.

The decision to resume activities must be documented by the UWA in SEMPCheck IRT as soon as

practical.

It is Talos Energy Offshore, LLC policy that anyone who ignores a SWA action will be removed from the asset as

soon as practical.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 84 of 110



Lockout/Tagout 7.3.

This section describes proper LOTO guidelines and procedures to prevent injury to employees due to unexpected

energizing or starting of machines and equipment, or an unexpected release of energy.

LOTO protects workers from unexpected releases of energy such as electrical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and/or

mechanical.

Energy sources that must be locked and tagged are:

Process fluids

Hydraulic

Pneumatic

Thermal

Chemical

Electrical

Mechanical systems

7.3.1. General LOTO Procedure

1. Perform an initial evaluation to identify potential exposure(s).

2. Complete a JSA Form (Talos-SEMS-2.3-002) prior to beginning the LOTO procedure.

3. Isolate the exposures before beginning work on equipment and complete the Talos-SEMs-2.6-005

Lock/Tagout Energy Isolation Checklist.

4. Communicate with affected workers.

5. With the approval of the responsible supervisor, follow shutdown procedures for the specific equipment.

7.3.2. Electrical LOTO Procedure

CAUTION: Any employee that notices a failing device must LOCK and TAG open the circuit breaker(s) or approved disconnect device using the LOTO Procedure.

Perform the following steps to safely LOTO electrical equipment:

1. The person rendering the device inoperable shall LOCK open the circuit breaker(s) or approved

disconnect device, using a lock.

2. CAUTION: There must be only one key for a lock, or a set of locks, and that one key must be held by the

locking party until the completion of the job.

3. Tag the lock with a dated and signed “DANGER, DO NOT OPERATE” Tag.

4. CAUTION: The reason for the lockout must be written on the tag (see Safety Standard No. 2, Tagging and

Flagging). Other personnel performing work on this equipment or that need the equipment to remain

inoperative must insert a Lock and Danger Tag in the same lockout. Never install a lock without a Tag.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 85 of 110



5. If a circuit cannot be locked out, it must be de-energized and tagged.

6. CAUTION: If the circuit requires disconnection or removal of a component to ensure isolation, a qualified

electrician must perform the work.

7. CAUTION: The area must be CLEAR of personnel and tools prior to attempting to start the equipment.

8. Before starting work, the individual locking out the equipment must TRY to energize the piece of

equipment locally to ensure that the proper circuit is de-energized and that an override does not exist.

9. Only the person(s) originally attaching the Lock and Tag is authorized to remove the Lock and Tag unless

the person(s) is not available, or other circumstances make it impractical for the original party to remove

the Lock and Tag. Under these conditions, the Supervisor or PIC takes full responsibility and performs the

following steps:

a. Checks the equipment to determine the repairs have been completed

b. Removes the Lock and Tag

c. Places the equipment in service

d. The supervisor or PIC is responsible for and does the notification to personnel as soon as possible

that their Lock(s) and Tag(s) have been removed in these cases.

NOTE: Due to shift or personnel changes, the custody of Lock and Key may be transferred between

personnel. Tags must reflect the change in responsibility and that isolation is verified.

10. When the work on the equipment is completed and the equipment is ready to return to normal operation,

perform the following:

a. Contact the person responsible for the area

b. Confirm that no hazard to personnel or equipment will be created by retuning the equipment to

normal operations.

c. After confirmed, remove the Lock and Tag and return equipment to normal operations.

7.3.3. Blinding

Blinding is preferred method of isolation for vessel entry for open flame work on process lines or vessels and for

long-term maintenance for the following equipment:

Compressors

Pumps

Process lines

Vessels that leak or where improper opening of the isolation valves would re-pressure the equipment

being serviced, and/or release flammable, toxic, or high-pressure streams


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 86 of 110



Procedures are in place for the installation and removal of blinds for the following situations:

Prevent the release of combustible and toxic substances into the work area

Prevent equipment that is isolated for maintenance from re-pressurizing

Installed at vessels, equipment, or confined spaces

7.3.3.1. Blind Selection

A blind must be able to withstand the maximum possible pressure that it can be exposed to. Permanent blinds

must meet applicable design piping standards and codes.

Blinds must be properly identified.

It is recommended that a blind have a “T” handle long enough to extend at least two inches beyond pipe

flanges.

One side of the “T” handle must have a hole for the attachment of a tag and flag.

Blinds purchased from approved manufacturers must be designed specifically for the size and rating of the

flanges. This ensures the proper thickness, flatness, and smoothness of the gasket surface.

If blinds must be fabricated on site, use steel plate with a yield strength of ASTM A-36 or better and follow the

table below.

It is also acceptable to consult with an appropriate engineering group to design the blind to withstand maximum

pressure.

7.3.3.2. Definitions

Slip Blind

A properly rated and sized metal plate inserted between pipe flange gaskets to prevent the flow of gas or liquid in either direction.

Blind flange

A full-rated pipefitting used to close the flanged end of an open pipe or valve.

Spectacle blind

A combination blind and spacer, formed from the same piece of material. This item is often a permanent part of the line and is taken out and the other end inserted, depending, upon whether or not flow through that line is desired.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 87 of 110



Tapped blind flange

A full-rated pipefitting used to close the flanged end of an open pipe or valve with a threaded tap for installing a valve. A vent valve is recommended for the release of any pressure buildup prior to removal of the blind.

These Are Not Blinds

NOTE: Do not confuse blinds with spacers, screens, or orifice plates.

7.3.3.3. Blind Rating Chart

(Per formula in Section 304.53 of ANSI B31.3 using allowable stress of 17,800 psi.)

Nominal Pipe Size (NPS)

ANSI Class

2 inch 3 inch 4 inch 6 inch 8 inch 10 inch 12 inch 14 inch 16 inch

150 1/4 in. 1/4 in. 3/8 in. 1/2 in. 5/8 in. 3/4 in. 3/4 in. 7/8 in. 1 in.

Slip blinds (blanks) for ring type joint (RTJ) flanges must be purchased from approved manufacturers. They must

be designed specifically for the size and rating of the flanges. Self-fabricated RTJ blinds must not be used.

It is acceptable to consider using other types of blinding devices that meet or exceed ratings of other members of

piping systems. A means to bleed down pressure before using these devices must be available.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 88 of 110



7.3.3.4. Blinding Procedures

Install blinds as close to the vessel or equipment as possible. A blind provides the best method of safely

containing liquid or gas. The blind prevents the liquid or gas from transferring through a process system. Install

and/or remove blinds only when directed to by a Supervisor.

A blind must be installed with three major considerations:

Rating - Is the blind properly rated?

Location?

Will the blind effectively isolate the equipment in the location selected?

Is there access to the selected location?

Can the blind be safely removed when such removal is required?

Size - Does the blind size match the size of the line being blinded?

Caution: Ensure that the pressure has been bled down before installation and removal of blinds.

The blind list must be approved by the supervisor or qualified individual (QI) when blinds are installed. The blind

list must be kept in the control room, lease office or vehicle on site. This list includes size, pressure rating,

location, dates of installation and removal, and the initials of the person(s) installing the blind.

Blinds need to be tagged for identification and numbered to correspond with the blind list.

The supervisor or QI must confirm that all blinds have been removed prior to start-up by using the blind list. The

blind list is initialed by the supervisor or QI and the person(s) removing the blind. Potentially hazardous conditions

can occur if temporary blinds are not removed.

7.3.4. Disconnection

When blinding is not feasible, physically disconnecting and offsetting the ends is an acceptable alternative.

This can also be achieved by removing a part; both open ends must be isolated and tagged.

7.3.5. Double Block and Bleed

This is the least-preferred method of isolation and is discouraged for vessel and confined space entry.

Block valves must seal effectively and be secured with a chain and lock.

Automatic valves may not be used as isolation valves unless they are first rendered inoperable.

Bleed valves can be located between the two block valves, sized to pass the maximum leak rate, locked

open, and monitored for leakage.

Caution must be taken to route bleed valve gas to a safe location away from workers and ignition sources.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 89 of 110



7.3.6. Single Block Valve

A single locked, closed, and tagged block valve, as a minimum, may be used for certain routine maintenance

operations if none of the risk factors listed below are present.

Caution: Hot work or welding is not considered routine maintenance.

The valve to be used as a single block, or for blind installation, has a history of leakage (replace valve at

the first opportunity).

Pressure is greater than 1,480 psi and the valve is larger than 6 inches (excluding relief device isolation

valves).

Caustic, acid, or other toxic fluids are present that pose personnel exposure risks.

Line entry or blinding must be done in a confined space such as a small building or areas with limited

egress (especially if ignition sources might exist).

Piping will be open for extended periods.

A single block valve may be used in routine operations such as the following:

Sight glass removal or installation

Wellhead choke changes

Replacing valves in reciprocating compressors and pumps

Removing or replacing instruments

Inserting or removing pigs from permanent pig launcher or receiver installations

Change out of relief device being serviced (1,480 psi pressure limit listed above does not apply)

The installation and removal of blinds

NOTE: If alternative isolation methods are not possible, consideration must to given to depressurizing the complete system.

7.3.7. Mechanical Energy LOTO

The means of isolation can be chains, blocks, or disconnection:

If springs are involved, the springs must be released or physically restrained when necessary to

immobilize mechanical equipment.

The use of brakes, for example, on pumping units is not normally an acceptable means of energy

isolation. The use of blocks and/or chains in addition to the brake is required.

7.3.8. Breaking Containment

Containment is any protective barrier that holds hazardous substance or energy, such as pressure or heat, inside

process equipment; this refers to pipe, equipment enclosures, tanks, vessels and certain structures designed to

prevent the release of the contained material.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 90 of 110



Breaking containment is the opening or removal of that barrier, such as:

opening pipework by breaking flanges, unions, unscrewing, cutting, removing spades, blanks or blinds on

pipework

opening process machinery such as pumps and compressors (both driver and driven components)

opening process equipment such as vessels, towers, heat exchangers, drums, filters, fired heaters, and

other

7.3.8.1. Breaking Containment Safe Work Practice

1. Complete JSA and apply controls to address identified hazards and risks.

2. Arrange for disposal of removed fluids.

3. Isolate and LOTO the equipment or line for safe opening.

4. Prove isolation; carry out valve integrity checks.

5. Install hoses and temporary piping as required for controlled draining, purging or venting.

6. Vent pressurized gases to a safe location.

7. Purge and drain the fluids to approved disposal location.

8. Prove the equipment is gas free; if necessary, have an authorized tester perform a gas test.

9. Break flanged joints gently:

Loosen bolts first so they can be re-tightened if necessary.

Keep nearest bolt tight until flange is spread.

Start with the bolt farthest away from the worker; on the opposite side and bottom of the line.

Precede slowly and continuously loosening adjacent bolts.

When all bolts are loosened, carefully spread flange or mating surfaces with a standard wedge;

contain wedges in case they ‘fly’.

10. Blank off open ends to provide protection against inadvertent opening of a valve.

11. Fit and leak-test blind flanges after 12 hours if the work is not finished.

12. Test for leakage on remaking the joint.

7.3.9. Periodic LOTO Inspection

An inspection of the LOTO procedure will be conducted annually. The inspection will be documented to ensure

that the requirements are being met and followed.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 91 of 110

Person in charge (PIC) PIC is responsible for ensuring specific permitted activities are performed in compliance. A Person in Charge (PIC) is required to approve the Hot Work Permit when there are open flames, welding, burning, or grinding. During all wellwork activities, a Production PIC must approve all the Hot Work Permits

Safe welding areas Areas that have been designated and marked as being safe for performing hot work during all of the facility’s operations. Offshore structures must receive approval from the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) prior to establishing a designated Safe Welding area. Refer to Talos’ Safe Welding Plan for details on Safe Welding Areas


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 93 of 110



7.4.2. Hot Work Procedures

7.4.2.1. Initiate the Hot Work Permit:

A permit may be initiated by anyone who first completes and signs the form (see Talos Safety Forms).

The initiator then contacts the Talos Supervisor or Designated Alternate in charge of the facility to

coordinate the job.

7.4.2.2. Make provisions for the following as required:

Conduct a pre-job meeting to ensure safety and health precautions are understood by the person(s) who

will perform the work.

Ensure that the production or process equipment has been properly prepared and isolated, LOTO; and

that the area is ready for work to proceed.

Refer to Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) if applicable.

Assemble trained personnel for fire watch with the proper fire extinguisher and safety equipment.

Position sufficient number of fire watches to properly monitor the area affected by the hot work being

performed. Slag, sparks or other burning material could fall behind equipment or piping as well as onto

equipment located on a lower elevation. In situations where the potential for these conditions exists,

additional fire watches shall be assigned to monitor all affected areas.

Ensure that continuous monitoring with an LEL monitor has been established and determine who is

responsible for this monitoring.

Scaffolding is provided if appropriate.

Cover drains and sewers with proper vapor barrier or other isolation.

Isolate hot work area from other equipment or areas using fireproof tarps or equivalent.

Properly ventilate equipment.

Emergency response plan should be reviewed.

For hot work, perform necessary gas tests for oxygen and explosive. The Lower Explosive Limit (LEL)

reading shall be 10 percent or less. Ensure that the oxygen reading is between 19.5 percent to 23.5

percent; oxygen readings outside of this range may yield erroneous LEL readings. Consult Safety

personnel and/or equipment manufacturer information for assistance if needed.

Inspect the welding equipment for the following:

Cracks, splits or loose connections in welding leads, and repair before use

Exhaust spark arrestor, ESD, and drip pans on machines used offshore as per BSEE

Leaks in connections to oxygen or acetylene bottles, hoses and valves

To see that back flow valves are installed on oxygen and acetylene hoses


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 94 of 110



7.4.2.3. Before any Cold Cutting Begins, Review the Following:

Acceptable tools for cold cutting include:

Hacksaws

Pipe cutters

Hydraulic saws

Hydraulic shearing tools

Air-driven tools such as pneumatic saws and drills

The use of spark-producing devices is not allowed for projects where cold cutting has been required in

the procedure or work pack instructions.

Follow the applicable provisions under Procedures for Hot Work and LOTO.

7.4.2.4. Issue the Permit:

Permit must be reviewed by all responsible personnel, ensuring that the provisions of the permit have been met.

Confirm the required signatures are in place and distribute the permit.

In the event of a shift or personnel change, the JSA Form (Talos-SEMS-2.3-002) must be reviewed and a new

permit issued with the appropriate personnel. Confirm the required signatures are in place and distribute the

permit.

7.4.2.5. Perform the Hot Work:

Person(s) performing the work shall sign the permit.

When using portable spark-producing devices, opening energized electrical junction boxes, and

disconnecting battery leads, the person doing the work shall continuously monitor the area with a direct-

reading LEL monitor, but is not required to be accompanied by a Fire Watch.

During cutting, welding, grinding, and open flame, the fire watch shall continuously monitor with a direct-

reading LEL monitor.

7.4.2.6. Completion of the Hot Work:

Immediately after the work is completed, the work area and adjacent areas will be inspected to ensure

there has been no spread of sparks or hot metal.

The fire watch will remain at the work site and continuously monitor the area with a direct-reading LEL

monitor and log in reading at 15 minute intervals on Gas Monitoring Log (Talos-SEMS-2.6-015)

accompanying the permit. When hot work stops the fire watch must remain onsite for a period of 30

minutes after the job is completed and ensure the area is secure. During this 30 minute period the fire

watch must log in two additional readings at 15 minute intervals.

Immediately after the work is completed, the person doing the work will return the copy of the permit and

gas monitoring log to the PIC.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 95 of 110



The number of fire watches must be determined. Complex jobs may require more fire watch personnel to

adequately identify problem areas.

A safety meeting to discuss the hot work is a good practice. At the safety meeting, each person receives

instruction and acknowledges his/her duties during the hot work. The fire watch must understand how to:

Watch for fire.

Use a fire extinguisher properly.

Use the combustible gas monitor.

Sound an alarm.

Watch for slag or sparks that may result in a fire.

Simultaneous operations (SIMOPS) need to be discussed at the safety meeting if there is more than one work

team working onsite or more than one activity is being carried out. Welding on a tank farm close to a drilling rig is

an example of simultaneous operations.

7.4.2.7. Responsibilities

Permit Initiator:

flammable gases are suspected.

Alerting personnel entering the permitted area of hazards such as arc flashes, grinding, cutting, or

overhead hazards.

Signing the permit before starting the job.

7.4.2.8. Welder Certifications

Welders shall examine their equipment to ensure it is in good shape. Cracks, splits, or loose connections in

welding leads must be examined and repaired before use. Exhaust spark arrester and ESDs on welding

machines need to be operable and in good repair. Oxygen and acetylene bottles, hoses, and valves must be

checked for leaks. Bottles must be adequately restrained with chains. Back flow valves on gas welding equipment

are normally in place.

Prior to the commencement of welding operations, the TALOS Supervisor or PIC must verify that personnel have

been certified to perform the type of work scheduled.

7.4.2.9. Process Piping and Vessel Welding:

Vessels:

Qualification and certification of welders welding on ASME Section 1 or Section IV boilers or ASME

Section VIII hydrocarbon vessels must meet ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IX

specifications.

Hot Tapping 7.5.

This section provides information for safe operating practices and guidelines that must be followed when it is

necessary to perform in-service welding and/or hot tapping.

In-Service welding and hot tapping are not routine procedures, and their use should be limited. A Management of

Change must be completed when operations require the use of hot tapping.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 98 of 110



In-Service welding and hot tapping can be performed safely if personnel take strict precautions, both in

preparation and in execution, to prevent burning through the pipe wall or creating areas of high hardness that may

later produce weld cracking, pipe-wall cracking, or localized corrosion.

These procedures apply when welding or hot tapping on any process line or vessel, other than a pressure vessel,

that has not been depressurized, purged and blinded, or disconnected. In-Service welding procedures apply for

all welding on live lines, regardless of the purpose of the weld (e.g., repairs, adding structural attachments).

7.5.1. Hot Tapping Definitions

Term Definition

Hot tapping The technique of attaching a branch connection to in-service piping by drilling through a previously attached bolted or welded connection and valve.

The hot tapping procedure includes selection of equipment, technical calculations, hydrostatic test, and drilling of the pipes or equipment, but does not include the welding of the attachment connection.

In-Service welding The practice of welding on all piping, or equipment that contains or has been contaminated with hydrocarbons (including hydro testing with diesel), unless purged and blinded, or disconnected.

Saddle A fitting or connection that surrounds and reinforces the base of a branch connection and provides an attachment contact.

Weld-O-Let or thread-o-let A fitting or connection that contains a saddle area and a tee that has a screw or socket/butt weld connection.

7.5.2. Hot Tap Procedures

In addition to the normal requirements for a Hot Work Permit, the following steps are required for issuance of a

Hot Work Permit for in service welding. A separate Hot Work Permit is required for each hot tapping or in-service

welding job.

engineering group for an in-service weld/hot tap assessment. This request shall include:

Piping line number, pipe specification, and size of line to be welded

Isometric or piping-plan drawing showing exact location, size and position of saddles and proposed branch connection

Reason for making the in-service weld and/or hot tap as well as alternatives considered.

Pressure, temperature (design and normal operating), and fluid service for line and branch.

Date of proposed in-service weld and/or hot tap.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 99 of 110



Engineering shall determine the technical feasibility of performing a safe in-service weld. This includes

mechanical inspections, (i.e., wall thickness test by instrument), visual inspection, review of process conditions,

and the saddle/hot tap stress calculations. For hot taps engineering should provide a hot tap calculation sheet that

includes branch specifications, attachment and adapter dimensions, cutter travel, pressure and temperature

limitations and a sketch of proposed installations.

Engineering will prepare a detailed written procedure, which adheres to API 2201 In-Service Welding and Hot

Tapping and includes the following:

Welding procedures

Prohibitions and restrictions, such as but not limited to:

No flow vs. flow

Velocities in pipe

8.0 SIMULTANEOUS OPERATIONS (SIMOPS)

This section describes requirements for conducting simultaneous operations. Refer to General Sim-Ops Plan

(Talos-SEMS-2.6-012) for more information on SIMOPS planning and execution. This plan will be used as a

minimum.

Simultaneous Operations 8.1.

Simultaneous Operations (SIMOPS) occur when multiple operations or activities such as production, major

construction, wellwork, work over, wire line, coiled tubing, snubbing, P&A, etc. take place simultaneously at

offshore facilities.

SIMOPS will be coordinated through joint planning efforts by all involved supervisors and/or engineers who plan

and direct activities. Supplemental plans may be prepared for site-specific operations and may include a

description of the operations to be conducted, special precautions that will be required, etc.

Non-Simultaneous Operations 8.2.

Routine maintenance or service activities such as valve repairs, meter proving, vessel cleaning, etc. are not

considered simultaneous operations.

The UWA must be identified before the operation commences. All crew members must know who has ultimate

work authority for their operation or facility.

During SIMOPS, the individual with Ultimate Work Authority (UWA) is responsible for making final decisions

related to specific SIMOPS activities or operations on the facility. Upon notification of imminent risk or danger that

may impact another on-going activity or operation, the UWA will honor an “ALL STOP” until the risk or danger no

longer exists to either operation and it is safe to resume all work. In addition, the UWA will document the event

and decision to resume work on the UWA Form and enter into SEMPCheck.

Ultimate Work Authority Agreement Form 8.4.

Refer to: Ultimate Work Authority Agreement Form (Talos-SEMS-2.6013).

As described in Section 5.1, the Ultimate Work Authority Agreement Form for Simultaneous Operations

documents that the SIMOPS and UWA Safe Work Practices have been reviewed, discussed, and agreed upon

prior to commencing Simultaneous Operations.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 102 of 110



General Requirements 8.5.

The following procedures are to be performed prior to beginning simultaneous operations:

Survey the facility where SIMOPS are to be conducted to identify any potential hazards.

Determine safe placement of required equipment and verify adequate egress routes.

Determine whether any production related equipment is required to be shut in.

Ensure proper communications are established between personnel involved in the overall direction of

operations.

A communications system, such as intercom, or radios, will be set up to facilitate communication.

A SEMPCheck daily POB (personnel on board) roster shall be established and maintained for all

personnel on location.

Fire and abandonment drills shall be conducted in conjunction with the host facility prior to the

commencement of SIMOPS.

The facility Emergency Evacuation Plan (EEP) shall be reviewed. The most current EEP is available in

the SEMPCheck e-library.

Daily JSAs and safety meetings will be conducted.

ESD and Emergency Alarm System operations and locations will be communicated to all personnel. This

system will be in service at all times and tested in accordance with BSEE regulations.

Simultaneous Operations being conducted while the facility is producing will have a production operator

on duty on a 12/24 basis as determined by the job scope.

Rig, Drilling, and Workover Requirements 8.6.

The following are BSEE requirements when drilling rigs are part of simultaneous operations:

30 CFR 250.406(b) requires that all producible wells located in the affected well bay below the surface

and at the wellhead be shut in when any of the following occur:

Moving a drilling rig or related equipment on or off a facility

Moving or skidding a drilling unit between wells on a facility

Moving a mobile offshore drilling unit (MODU) within 500 feet of a facility (Consult with project engineer for approved BSEE permit details).

30 CFR 250.502 and 250.602 requires all wells in the same well-bay, which are capable of producing

hydrocarbons, to be shut in below the surface with a pump-through-type tubing plug, and at the surface

with a closed master valve prior to moving or skidding in and out well-completion and well-work over rigs

and related equipment, unless otherwise approved by the BSEE District Manager (Consult with project

engineer for approved BSEE permit details).


Rev. No.: 4

9.0 WELL SITE OPERATIONS

This section provides basic information and safety guidelines for well site operations. It does not attempt to

address all precautions needed in every well site operation or well servicing situation.

Refer to TALOS Well Site Procedures for more information.

Precautions 9.1.

Office personnel, contractors and other visitors to a well site shall report immediately after arrival to the

site supervisor.

Hold a pre-job safety meeting to review procedures, equipment locations, and emergency plans.

Where necessary, place barriers and signs to prohibit personnel from entering unsafe areas.

Nonessential vehicles need to be parked outside the guy line perimeter when the rig is rigged up on

location.

Provide adequately sized and properly located fire extinguishers.

All onsite engines need to be either located at a safe distance or equipped to prevent ignition sources.

Well Servicing Operations 9.2.

Do not ride the blocks.

Do not walk in or under the derrick while it is being raised or lowered.

Open flames within 100 feet of a well, vessel or tank need to comply with Fire and Safe work practices.

Do not operate well servicing units near any power line.

Each well servicing unit needs to have a derrick man emergency escape device.

Each well servicing unit needs to be leveled and properly guyed to appropriate anchors before work on

the well begins.

Guywires and safety slide lines are to be attached to approve anchors and flagged at head level for

identification.

When removing the christmas tree or master valve, use appropriate devices such as back pressure

valves or tubing plugs. Some wells may be exempt from this such as water service wells which will not

flow to surface and do not contain hydrocarbons.

Blowout preventers (BOPs), lubricators and coil tubing shall have a documented pressure test prior to

use. Use methanol or glycol/water where cold or hydrate conditions exist.

A quick-opening, full-bore tubing valve needs to be readily available for an emergency.

Pump and lines need to be secured and tested before use.

A check valve needs to be installed as close to the well as possible when pumping nitrogen or any

compressible fluid.


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 104 of 110



BOPs or an annular diversion device, such as a stripper, are required on all tubing movements during

well service operations on all wells known to contain hydrocarbons. Water service wells that will not flow

to surface are usually exempt.

A fusible cap or equivalent needs to be placed on the surface safety valve (if applicable) during well-

servicing operation for all wells known to contain hydrocarbons. Water service wells that will not flow to

surface are usually exempt.

Equipment needs to be tested to the rated working pressure of the lowest-rated component of the system

or to Maximum Anticipated Surface Pressure (MASP). This test pressure will determine Max Allowable

Working Pressure (MAWP), or as permitted.

Special precautions and protective equipment may be required due to the chemicals being used in the

stimulation, including spent acids and caustics. An SDS for all chemicals being used on location needs to

be communicated and maintained at the job location until completion.

When heated oil is pumped under high pressure, a check valve shall be installed as close as possible to

the well or flow line to prevent spraying hot oil in case of a line rupture.

Swabbing or hot-oiling operations are normally conducted in daylight or where adequate lighting is

provided.

Consider using a stripping-type annular preventer for situations where hydrocarbon releases may be

anticipated. Situations that need to be reviewed are well work over operations that may be hampered by

the inability to fully circulate out hydrocarbons or excessive fluid losses.

Iron sulfide—during any service operation where suspected iron sulfide scale is deposited, it is necessary

to prevent spontaneous combustion. This can be accomplished by keeping the iron sulfide wet, removing

the scale, or by complete coverage with soil. Iron sulfide also reacts with hydrochloric acid (HCl) and

generates hydrogen sulfide gas. Special precautions for hydrogen sulfide need to be taken into account

when handling iron sulfide.

NORM—during any service operation when NORM is expected, consults with the Talos HSE Advisor.

Also refer to Section 4.10 Naturally Occurring Radioactive Material.

Perforating 9.3.

This section provides safe operating practices and guidelines for perforating.

Before any work begins, the Talos representative and service company operator shall review the service

company’s written precautions to identify and eliminate specific hazards that may be present. The following

general safety procedures shall be followed to minimize hazards.

Implementing this SWP is the responsibility of the drilling and/or production supervisor initiating the perforating

operation.

9.3.1. Procedures

The following procedures shall remain in effect until the job is complete and explosives are safely stored:


Rev. No.: 4

Page: 105 of 110



Post signs or personnel at entrances to the location to notify visitors that explosives are in use.

A pre-job safety meeting shall be held with all rig crews and other personnel working on the location to

review safety procedures.

Alert all personnel not involved in handling the explosives to keep out of the work area and out of the

perforators’ line of fire.

Prior to loading the gun, the Talos supervisor shall notify the supervisors of surrounding facilities that all

radio transmitting equipment must be turned OFF. The transmitting devices shall remain off until the

perforating gun has reached a minimum depth of 300 feet below the rig floor or wellhead. Turn off the

following devices:

Turn off radios

Telephone transmitters

Radio telemetry for production operations

Welding machines

Other electrical power sources, including cellular phones and transmitting pagers located within 500 feet of perforation operation and not required for handling the explosives and other necessary operations

In offshore perforating jobs, the dispatcher shall inform all boats and helicopters of the location of the

perforating job and request radio silence for that location during the perforating operation.

Heliport shall be closed:

Place a contrasting colored X on the heliport on offshore drilling rigs and platforms during radio

silence.

Hazards from static electricity that can be present from approaching electrical storms, blowing dust, or

blowing snow shall be evaluated and proper precautions taken.

All equipment shall be electrically grounded as specified by the service company procedures.

Checks shall be made for stray currents.

The source of any hazardous stray currents shall be located and eliminated.

Misfires shall be treated as live guns while pulling and laying down the perforating gun, and until the

service company has the explosives disarmed and secured.

All precautions taken running live guns shall be followed when pulling misfires, including turning

off any transmitters, radios, cellular phones, etc.

Precautions for trapped pressure shall be taken into account when handling perforating guns after they

have been run into the well. This includes live guns, fired guns, and, misfired guns.

Do not perforate with electric line or slick line after dark or if inadequate lighting exists, unless the

expected post-perforating surface pressure has been encountered.

Tubing conveyed perforating after dark is permitted.
