1. 0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 General
This HSE Procedure for Contractor Management has been developed as part of the
Petrobel HSE Integrated Management System “IMS”. It has been developed and
implemented in compliance with element C6 of HSE IMS of Eni Exploration and
Production Division document No.1.3.0.2 (Ref 1) and its Application Requirements
(Ref 2), to assist managers in realizing the Petrobel HSE vision of achieving the same
high level of health, safety and environmental performance from contracted services
as is expected from Petrobel’s own employees. It supports the Petrobel HSE IMS
(Ref 3) and follows the general principles of international management systems (Refs
4,5, and 6).
This requirement has been highlighted by the continuing trend to use more contracted
services within the oil and gas industry. Historically, Contractor safety performance
has not been subject to as stringent HSE controls as that of Company activities. With
greater reliance now being placed upon contracted services this represents a greater
risk exposure to Petrobel, which needs to be managed and controlled, as with other
identified risks.
Included in this process will be the need for all Contractors listed in Petrobel vendor
lists to be incorporated into the Petrobel integrated management Programs and have a
full understanding of the Petrobel policies and program with respect to social
responsibilities and community relations in both Petrobel and the area of the
contracted activity.
1.2 Purpose
Ensure that the HSE standards required by Petrobel are incorporated into the
relevant contractual arrangements and that they are clearly understood by all
concerned.
Once selected, work together with the Contractor to achieve the required level of
HSE performance and successful completion of the work.

HSE IMS Procedure No 07
This Procedure applies to all Contracts, which require Contractors and their sub-
Contractors to work or provide a service to Petrobel when the work being performed
is:
- Within a facility owned or operated by Petrobel.
- Working within a Petrobel concession Area where the work is being conducted
on behalf of Petrobel.
- At a location not owned by Petrobel, but where a significant part of the work is
being performed for Petrobel and where Petrobel has a full time Representative
on site.
The Procedure is not applicable to contractual work being undertaken in premises not
within the jurisdiction of Petrobel such as: equipment manufacturing facilities,
construction yards and vendors’ workshops, etc. However, the HSE standards
applied by a Contractor in its own premises should significantly influence Petrobel
management during the Contractor Registration, Selection and Award process.
Similarly, the procedure will not necessarily be applied to low risk incidental
contracted services. However, the concept will be applied, at the discretion of the
end-user management.

HSE IMS Procedure No 07
It is essential that both Petrobel and its Contractors understand and comply with their
legislative responsibilities during the life cycle of any Contract. These will be
observed as a mandatory requirement of any Contract.
It is also essential that both parties understand their respective HSE responsibilities as
determined by Petrobel as a condition of Contract. It is recognized that Petrobel, as
the contract awarding company, will have the controlling influence on the HSE
performance of its Contractors. “Good HSE conscious companies promote good
HSE conscious contractors.”
Petrobel always has the overall responsibility for ensuring the conduct and HSE
performance of a Contractor when working in Company premises or a Company
Concession Areas. In such cases this responsibility rests with the Petrobel Manager
responsible for the Contract (the ‘End-user’ Manager).
To discharge the Company ‘End-user’ responsibilities during the course of the work,
the ‘End-user’ Manager will appoint a Petrobel departmental representative as the
‘Contract Custodian’. The Contract Custodian is responsible for ensuring that the
Contractor complies with all the Contract conditions, and is fully meeting the
Company expectations regarding the work. This requirement applies equally to HSE
performance and technical competence. Even though the Contractor has the basic
responsibilities for the safety of its employees, the ‘Contract Custodian’ or his
nominated Site Representative must constantly monitor the Contractors HSE
performance. Where the Contractor falls short of the required standards, the Contract
Custodian should ask the Contractor to fully comply and, in case of ‘no action’,
invoke any applicable penalties.
The ‘Contract Custodian’ will also ensure that all Contractors management and
employees on site receive a full HSE induction with respect to the inherent hazards of
the Petrobel site, emergency procedures and HSE requirements of the contract etc.

HSE IMS Procedure No 07
The Contractor is also responsible for implementing its HSE Plan and reporting to the
Company as specified in the Contract. It will also ensure that all sub-contractors
meet the same requirements and conditions as imposed upon the Contractor,
particularly in the case of personal protective equipment (PPE).
The success of the Contractor HSE Plan and program depends heavily on the
commitment and motivation of both the responsible Petrobel Management and the
Contractor to apply and adhere to the HSE strategy as agreed in the Contract.
Meetings between the ‘Contract Custodian’ and Contractor should be held regularly
to ensure that everyone on the worksite understands what is required of them, and that
HSE is the highest priority of Petrobel and a significant factor in the eventual success
of the Contract.
The individual HSE responsibilities of Petrobel and Contractors key personnel are
contained in Section 4.0 of this Procedure.
3.1 Concept
The management of health, safety and environmental issues, where two or more
companies work together, requires co-operation and understanding between them and
a clear definition of the responsibilities and duties of each of the parties. Critical in
the achievement of this requirement is a comprehensive and detailed process, which
defines the business relationship between the parties concerned. In this case it is the
contractor management process whereby Petrobel achieves this understanding with its
Contractors.
This Procedure has been developed to identify the typical phases of the contracting
process and in particular the key tasks, which have to be addressed by both the
Company and (potential) Contractor. This is essentially a seven-stage process, which
is summarised as follows and illustrated in Figure 1 entitled ‘Summary of the Phases
of the Contractor Management Process’ as shown at the end of this section.

HSE IMS Procedure No 07
(i) Objectives
The objectives of this phase are to adequately identify the work scope of
the contract and to assess the risks associated with the proposed activity. The
contracting strategy will then be determined based on the nature and size of the
work and the risks involved.
- QA/QC requirements
The Risk Screening studies will be completed in general accordance with the
Petrobel Risk Screening and Assessment procedure (Ref 7).
Page 12 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
The level of risk assessed for the proposed work should be the prime factor in
selecting a contracting strategy and determining which controlling measures are
most appropriate to prevent accidents occurring, and minimize the
consequences of an event should it ever happen. The level of risk is also an
indication of the amount of time and effort which will need to be spent during
the course of the Contract, to ensure that the required controls are in place to
reduce the risks ‘as low as reasonably practicable’ (ALARP).
The Contracting strategy for any Contract should determine the way in which
HSE is to be managed, both by Petrobel and the Contractor. There are
generally two basic scenarios to be considered:
Page 13 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
In all cases, the agreed strategy should be clearly identified in the Contract and
the respective HSE responsibilities reflected in the Contractors HSE Plan for
the required work.
(i) Objectives
Page 14 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
- Confirmation that the Contracting company has been accepted for inclusion on
the Petrobel Approved Contractor list.
- Notification that the Contracting company has not been accepted on the
Petrobel Approved Contractor list. In such cases, the deficiencies should
be identified to the Contracting company.
(i) Objectives

HSE IMS Procedure No 07
such that equitable evaluation can be undertaken and the correct selection made
before Contract award.
Depending upon the size and identified risk category of the work to be covered
by the Contract, the following HSE information may be included in the Bid
Documentation:
List of HSE controls, procedures and compliance issues for the Contract.
Definition of the scope of the Contractors HSE Plan for the job.
The Company at this stage has to ensure the ability of the Contractor to deliver
the Contract work as per the required HSE standards. In the case of new
Page 16 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
Contractors that have not worked with the Company before or in the past 2
years, this assessment would require a comprehensive HSE Systems audit of
the potential Contractor. The assessment process would include the HSE
Management System, Policies, Procedures and working practices. This would
also involve site visits to gauge on-ground HSE performance of the Contractor.
Page 17 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
In cases where all issues have not been fully resolved or where concerns may
still exist, the Notification of Award of Contract may also be subject to
Conditions of Acceptance. Any outstanding HSE issues must be included in
this document.
Following the Contract Award, the End-user Department has the lead
responsibility for the management and control of all future activities, which are
required during the execution of the Contract and particularly the Contractors
compliance with their HSE responsibilities.
Once award has been made, a joint ‘kick-off’ meeting should take place as soon
as possible to ensure that the final Contract Document reflects accurately both
the Petrobel and Contractor understanding of the terms and conditions which
were agreed. The final HSE Plans and associated work programs will also be
agreed at this meeting.
(i) Objectives
The objectives of pre-mobilisation activity are to ensure that all aspects of the
risk assessment and Contract HSE requirements are mutually understood by
both Petrobel and the Contractor before mobilization or any work takes place,
in particular the Contractors’ final HSE Plan which should cover all Contractor
activity from Contract award through to demobilization and Contract
completion. The level of pre-mobilisation activity undertaken at this stage will
always be dependent upon the size of the Contract and the assessed level of
risk.
The initial ‘kick-off’ meeting generally provides the first opportunity for the
Petrobel and Contractor Site Representatives to meet and reach a mutual
understanding as to the requirements and relationships as detailed in the
Contract.
Page 18 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
Confirmation of the scope and schedule of all HSE planned activities, e.g.
HSE meetings, inspections and communications etc.
(iii) Mobilisation
During the initial stages of mobilization, all key personnel assigned to the
Contract should attend an HSE orientation program which will include the
requirements of the Contractors HSE Plan and how it interfaces with the
Petrobel HSE arrangements, particularly regarding emergency preparedness and
casualty care.
Petrobel and the Contractor should confirm that they have each deployed their
supervisory staff and are implementing the HSE Plan covering this stage of the
Contract. Regular joint progress meetings should take place and, as the
mobilization progresses, the Petrobel Site Representative should commence
assurance checks and inspections on the Contractors equipment and materials
and the competency of its personnel.
Page 19 of 32
HSE IMS Procedure No 07
These audits are best achieved using a joint Petrobel /Contractor team. Should
the results prove not to be satisfactory, then the status of the Contractor’s
progress should be carefully reviewed. The risks associated with any
deficiencies should be carefully assessed which should result in one of the
following options:
The mobilisation audit may be structured to align with the Elements of the
Petrobel HSE Management System or more specifically the requirements of the
Contractors HSE Plan.
(i) Objectives
The principle objective during the Job Execution (Work in Progress) stage of
any contracted work is to ensure that it is being conducted safely and in
accordance with the terms and conditions of the Contract and the HSE Plan and
fully meeting the expectations of the End-user Manager.

(i) Objectives
The objectives of this phase are to confirm that the Contractor has completed
the work satisfactorily and that the hazards associated with demobilisation have
all been adequately addressed in the HSE Plan.
(iii) Demobilisation
The Contractors HSE Plan must include demobilization and its associated
hazards. The demobilization phase of a project can present the greatest
probability of an accident occurring if not properly managed, due to the nature
of the activity and personnel moving off to new assignments.

(i) Objectives
The objectives of this phase are to conduct an evaluation of both the Contractor
and Petrobel performance during the course of the Contract from an HSE
standpoint, provide feedback to the Contractor and provide Petrobel with
reference data for future work.
The quality of the Contractor’s HSE Plan and its relevance to the overall
performance of the Contractor
The positive aspects of the Contract and areas for improvement which can be
applied in the future
The identification of hazards and areas of concern which arose during the
Contract which were not identified in the risk screening process or
contained in the HSE Plan
