3 Introduction Celtique Energie is in the business of exploring for oil and gas in proven basins in Europe. The aim is to create value to shareholders and local stakeholders through hydrocarbon exploration, development and production. We are committed to explore responsibly for oil and gas in Europe and to supporting the community by creating jobs and improving security of oil and gas supply. To support the aims and aspirations documented in the policy, a number of management standards have been developed based on the plan - do - review improve methodology outlined in UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE) guidance document HSG65. These standards are applicable to all operated sites and it is a requirement for our contractors and suppliers to follow them. The various standards are supported by procedures (including Celtique s Fundamental Safety Rules FSR), guidelines and toolkits. These are designed to aid implementation of performance requirements for our operations. Hierarchy of Documentation Celtique Energie s management system is hierarchical where all documents and systems help to implement the policy as shown in diagram below. Contractors working for Celtique Energie are expected to adopt and tailor their own management system to meet the requirements of Celtique Energie whenever they work at our sites. 1 LEADERSHIP ACCOUNTABILITY

16 10.5 Celtique Energie s Heath, Safety, Environmental Policy Protection & Community () Policy is reviewed at least every three years. DEFINITIONS & ABBREVATIONS TERM DEFNITIONS ALARP As Low As Reasonably Practical. This is a well established methodology in the oil and gas industry to demonstrate that all risks associated with an operation is reduced to an acceptable level. The methodology includes taking safety, community, practical and financial implication into account before work can proceed. A systematic and documented process to review effectiveness of management standards. These are performance requirements set annually to ensure and drive continuous improvement in management. A Blow Out Preventer is a device used during drilling activities to prevent oil and gas escaping from a well bore in an uncontrolled way. A documented record of regulatory and other requirements applicable to an operation. A process of enhancing performance in management using a: plan do review improve methodology. Actions carried out to manage and reduce the impact of an abnormal occurrence that can threaten people, environment or communities. Description of equipment installed to close down and make safe a well or production facility in case of a drilling or production upset endangering the well, rig site or production plant. This covers the Leadership within Celtique Energie (e.g. CEO, Exploration Director, Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer). A set of simple and easy to follow basic safety rules for regular work activities developed by Celtique Energie to prevent serious injuries and fatalities within our operations. Health, Safety, Environmental Protection and Community. Communities are included in the Policy and Management Standards as they may be affected by the company s operation. Good and responsible management of health, safety and environmental protection is as essential to them as it is for Celtique Energie and this is clearly demonstrated in the company documents. This is a structured and systematic framework of policies, standards, rules, procedures and toolkits implemented within Celtique Energie to consistently and effectively ensure effective management. This is a matrix to assess risk considering consequence and likelihood of occurrence. This is used for all risk assessments to ensure a consistent approach in risk management. This is defined as an event that has or could have caused an adverse consequence (e.g. injury, spill etc.) to people, environment or communities. A leading indicator is used to define proactive measures taken as part of a structured management plan. An example could be HSE training, site HSE inductions, site inspection to identify and remove hazards. Lagging indicators are statistics or collection of data after an event or period. A typical example is injury frequency rates or number of pollution events (spills) per year. A formal document that is used to manage and control certain types of work which is hazardous. Responsible Development describes the way the company conducts its business. This includes consulting with local communities, protecting the environment and reducing risk to personnel. It also concerns the ability to provide employment and energy in the communities and markets where we work. A structured and documented process to identify hazards, evaluate them and identify risk reduction measures reduce risks of an operation to as low as possible. A document where risks for an operational site are recorded and maintained. Celtique Energie maintains site specific risk registers and a companywide risk register.
