System Policies & Procedures o The fully equipped rescue team that will be on standby at the tank entrance for the duration of the restricted entry must be briefed o In all cases, the HSQE Department shall be contacted in advance to review the prepared risk assessment and provide concurrence regarding the adequacy of controls6.4.2.9 PaintingThe company considers spray painting and the use of two (2)component paints, such as Epoxy, in enclosed spaces to be extremelydangerous. Any painting in an enclosed space may lead to anatmosphere that is explosive, flammable, and, or toxic. Painting inenclosed spaces may only be carried out after risk analysis has beencarried out.The following safety guidelines apply when painting in enclosedspaces:• A Restricted Entry Addendum to the confined Space Entry Permit has been completed and all safety checks are satisfactorily complied with• Adequate forced ventilation to ensure the atmosphere does not become explosive or flammable must be provided• The crew assigned to the space has been specifically instructed with regard to hazards expected• Air line masks must be worn by personnel painting in the tank• Filter masks are prohibited• Lights and power tools must be pneumatic air driven type• Electric lights are prohibited when painting in confined spaces6.4.2.10 Personal Gas DetectorsThe use of personal type gas detectors is intended for monitoring ofambient conditions in the work place. The detectors are designed tobe carried in gas free spaces where unsafe conditions may occurControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 006SAFETY MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 32 of 60
System Policies & Proceduresrapidly (e.g. petroleum cargo leak in a pump-room) and to give thewearer some notice and alarm of an oncoming danger. The use ofpersonal type gas detectors in enclosed spaces is for a person enteringthe space after it has been previously checked by remote sensingdevices and found safe for entry. The personal gas detectors are tobe set to alarm when atmospheric conditions deteriorate to unsafelevels warning the wearer to leave the space. The detectors are to becalibrated according to the manufacturer's instruction and prior toentry, the alarm is to be tested. Whenever pump-rooms or confinedspaces are entered, at least one person must wear a personal gasdetector that will alarm if low levels of Oxygen (less than 19% byvolume) or high levels of hydrocarbons (more than 10% of lowerexplosive limits) are encountered.When wearing personal gas detectors:• Keep away from the effects of own exhaled air• Carry so the sensor is not covered or blocked• Keep away from UHF radio as this may cause a false alarm• Refer to manufacturers instructions when in doubt6.4.2.11 Marking of Entry or Access HatchesAll vessels must assume that confined spaces, including cargo tanksand holds, ballast tanks and similar spaces are unsafe until provenotherwise.• All access points are to be marked with the following warnings on a yellow background with black writing o DANGER - LACK OF OXYGEN o DANGER – FLAMMABLE/TOXIC GAS (cargo tanks) o DO NOT ENTER WITHOUT PERMISSION OF CHIEF OFFICER• Access to holds and hatches are to be pad locked at all times and the keys are to be held by the Chief Mate. Therefore, the holds and hatches can only be entered with the Chief Mate's consent and knowledgeControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 006SAFETY MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 33 of 60
System Policies & Procedures• Prior to entry into cargo holds, the atmosphere is to be checked for Oxygen, unless forced ventilation is permanently fitted• Prior to arrival, hold atmospheres should be checked and ventilated a short time before berthing6.5 Hydrogen Sulfide (H2S)To ensure safety in tanker and terminal operations, all personnelinvolved should be familiar with the following precautions whenhandling all cargoes and bunker fuels likely to contain hazardousconcentrations of Hydrogen Sulphide. Precautions are also beobserved during ballasting of cargo tanks, tank cleaning and gasfreeing operations associated with the carriage of previous cargoeshaving a Hydrogen Sulphide content.• Exposure levels in all work locations should be monitored by using suitable instrumentation for detecting and measuring the concentration of the gas. Detector tubes should be used if it becomes necessary to monitor a known high concentration. High concentrations and the corrosive nature of the gas can have a damaging effect on many electronic instruments.• Bunker fuel tanks should be monitored prior to, during and after bunkering. If H2S has been detected, the bunker tank should be periodically tested. Although the concentration in the vapour space can be successfully lowered by forced air ventilation, it often increases again when the bunker fuel is heated, transferred or agitated by other means. Bridge, control room, accommodation and engine spaces should be monitored if H2S may be present. Ventilation systems should be operated as far as possible to prevent H2S vapours entering the accommodation and engine spaces. A low concentration of H2S over time can cause discomfort to personnel.• The use of personal H2S gas monitoring instruments for personnel engaged in cargo operations is required. Warning alarm which should be set at a value not exceeding 5 ppm or the latest TLV which ever is less. Personnel should always carry personal monitors when working in enclosed spaces, gauging, sampling, entering a pump room, connecting and disconnecting loading lines, cleaning filters, draining to open containments and mopping up spills.Controlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 006SAFETY MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 34 of 60
System Policies & Procedures• In addition to being a health hazard, the H2S odour is also considered a public nuisance. Most local environmental regulations limit or ban the release of H2S concentrations to the atmosphere and this is, in any case, good practice. It is therefore necessary to maintain cargo tank pressures within acceptably low limits. The tank vapour pressure will rapidly increase if vapour space is exposed to heat or the product is agitated. Crude oil washing may rapidly increase the vapour pressure and should begin at a relatively low pressure and, preferably, while maintaining a relatively high discharge rate. • Respiratory Protective Equipment o Whenever high concentrations of H2S are likely to be present, Emergency Escape Breathing Devices (EEBD) should be made available to all personnel working in hazardous areas. They should be used in conjunction with a personal H2S gas monitoring/alarm instrument. o Personnel should be instructed to don their EEBD should their alarm activate and immediately leave the area to an upwind location. They should advise the central control location of the presence of a high gas concentration in order that appropriate procedures can be initiated. o Self-contained breathing apparatus should always be worn if it is considered necessary to breach the integrity of the cargo system and a vapour free atmosphere cannot be guaranteed. This would include the following activities: Open gauging and sampling; Removing blanks for connecting the cargo hose or loading arm; Cleaning filters; Draining lines to open containment; and Mopping up spills. o Chemical cartridge respirators should not be used for protection against H2S vapours, as the vapour concentrations in theControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 006SAFETY MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 35 of 60
System Policies & Procedures atmosphere may exceed the operational capability of the respirator being used.• Training is to be periodically conducted for crewmembers to highlight the hazards associated with H2S and the precautions to be taken to reduce the risks to an acceptable level. Daily Tool Box talks and MSDS sheets should be utilized to convey: o Safe operating procedures for all operations; o Gas testing/atmosphere monitoring procedures; o Maintenance procedures for cargo related systems; o PPE requirements; o Contingency planning; o Emergency response measures; o Measures to protect visitors from exposure.6.6 Winning with Safety Incentive ProgramIncentives are provided by the company as a means of encouragingand rewarding safe practices.• To provide crew with an incentive for safe operation and behavior based safety, SeaTeam has established a \"Winning with Safety\" Incentive Program to reward those who promote safety and maintain superior safety records.• The company will provide each vessel with a quantity of Safety Winner \"scratch and win\" type incentive cards to reward safe practices.• Each Safety Winner \"scratch card\" provides two chances to win cash prizes.

When changes are properly planned, negative outcomes are considered in advance, so that controls may be established to mitigate the risk. • Change requests are to be entered in the ShipNet database in the Feedback Module for consideration and approval • Risk Assessments are used to review, pre-plan, assess, and manage changes when needed, and should be attached to the change request if applicable • Change Management applies to equipment, personnel, operations, procedures, materials or design whether the change is temporary, with a specific duration of effect, or permanent in natureControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 1 of 17
System Policies & Procedures• Changes are evaluated using Risk Assessment so that changes may be reviewed and managed by assignment of controls to ensure that risks remain at an acceptable level.• The following key considerations are to be evaluated and acted upon when and where needed and are encoded in the ShipNet MOC Module: o If documents or drawings require modification o If the change required by law or regulation o If approval from an outside authority required o If there are safety implications o If there are security implications o If there are Permit to work implications o If there are occupational health implications o If there are environmental implications o If statutory approval is required o If a HSEQ System amendment required o If there are training implications• Key considerations are to be addressed in the ShipNet Database where Change Requests are entered via the Feedback tab: o Identified training needs must be resolved in conjunction with the change as a basic condition for approval o MOC process is required for employment of key office staff o MOC process is required for promotion and hire of management level staffControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 2 of 17
System Policies & Procedures• It is the responsibility of the Shipboard Management Team to determine if a particular change should be the subject of a formal Risk Assessment• Temporary changes, such as taking critical equipment out of service, must have a specific time line indicating the duration of the effect. Should critical systems, alarms or equipment become defective, or require planned or unplanned maintenance, the temporary change, (such as taking critical equipment out of service), must supported by a Risk Assessment, and reported to the company together with the estimated time line indicating the duration of the planned effect o The Fleet Manager is responsible for review or Risk Assessments and approval any planned shut-downs of critical systems, alarms or equipment o For Bridge Equipment the Marine Manager must review the Risk Assessment and concur prior to any planned shut- downs of critical systems, alarms or equipment• A Risk Assessment is required for all changes that are not covered by existing approved procedures o Evaluation and procurement of fleet software systems• Approval to proceed is subject to the approval authorities given in the company Chart of Authority and/or in ShipNet user rights o Any change where a likely consequence is estimated to be intolerable, must be brought to the attention of the Technical Director and the Senior Manager HSQE o Any temporary change that exceeds the initial authorization for scope or time is required to be reviewed for re-approval by the appropriate level of management. o Requests for Change (MOC) may not approved by a person directly involved in the change.• Changes to HSQE procedures are not normally subject to a risk AssessmentControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 3 of 17
System Policies & Procedures o The need for permanent changes to procedures and instructions is to be communicated to the HSQE Department via email or through the ShipNet System as appropriate, and o All identified weak-points in HSQE procedures should be included in Master's Hand-Over notes7.1.1 Recurring ChangesThe company HSQE System has established procedures to ensureroutine operational changes are accomplished safely and inaccordance with established good practice. Anticipated changes aremanaged by HSQE System procedures (e.g. Change of NavigationalWatch, Bridge Checklist).• Recurring changes are controlled through the establishment of approved procedures, hand-over forms, checklists or systems to ensure expected hazards are adequately controlled7.1.2 Requesting Change• Change Requests should be submitted via ShipNet in the Feedback Module under the Suggestions and Complaints Tab, and ticked as a Change Request. The Technical Superintendent is responsible to monitor requests and should be given an indication of the planned time-frame and whether urgent or routine in nature o The Master is responsible to ensure the intended change has been adequately assessed and to ensure necessary supporting documentation is attached. o The Superintendent is responsible to ensure changes are approved in accordance with the Chart of Authority before the change is initiated.• For vessel design or equipment modifications, a risk assessment along with drawings of the proposed design is first submitted to the vessels superintendent for review and concurrence. If accepted, the proposed new design should then be forwarded to the Senior Technical Manager for “design” Approval. Once design is accepted from an engineering standpoint, the Change Request is forwardedControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 4 of 17
System Policies & Procedures to the HSEQ Department to verify that hazards are adequately controlled.• It is the Technical Superintendent's responsibility to monitor intended Changes before they are implemented and ensure the intended change has been correctly analyzed and all required controls are in place prior to commencement• If controls are not considered adequate at any level, the change request will be denied until adequately addressed.• All changes are to be documented in the ShipNet database for tracking and close out.7.1.3 Communication of Change• Changes to HSQE System procedures are communicated to Shipboard Management Teams through issuance of HSQE Circulars• It is the Shipboard Management Team's responsibility to ensure that any change affecting the operational integrity of the ship is communicated to the affected staff through the following means as may be appropriate: o Meetings o Announcement on the Public Address System o Log entries o Entries in the Standing Orders and Night Orders o Posted notices and warnings• Changes to regulatory requirements, codes or industry practices are tracked and evaluated at least annually during management review meetings to determine if any processes, procedures, equipment, or training need to be modified. Such changes will be communicated in the Minutes of the Meetings, which are disseminated throughout the organizationControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 5 of 17
System Policies & Procedures7.2 Risk Assessment & ControlThe Master and Shipboard Management Teams will constantly assessrisks, and take action as needed to control unacceptable risks. Inorder to ensure Risk Assessments are carried out in accordance withestablished best practices, the following main points are broadlyaccepted as an adequate means to assess risk and analyze jobhazards:• Identify a job or activity where a risk assessment is required• Separate the steps into sequential order as far as possible• Identify the hazards associated with each step• Using a standard scale, estimate the frequency and consequence of accidents caused the hazards• Calculate the Risk (Frequency X Consequence)• Refer to \"Action Codes\" on the standard risk matrix• Establish Hazard Controls where risks are not acceptable• Re-calculate Risk after all possible controls are considered• Establish contingency controls in case planned controls fail or if something should go wrong• If the final risk estimate exceeds tolerable limits, Stop.7.2.1 Hazard IdentificationThe Shipboard Management Team identifies hazards and possibleconsequences by using the collective experience of the crew involvedby employing a Hazard Identification process where the experience ofthose on board, can be questioned as to “what if” something goeswrong.• If the person carrying out hazard identification is confident that the task is relatively straight forward then they alone may carry out hazard identification. Where the hazards become moreControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 6 of 17
System Policies & Procedures complicated, the Shipboard Management Team (SMT) may need to contact the office for assistance o Identify if there may be death, injury or illness to people (e.g. crew, terminal reps, etc.); o Identify if there may be damage caused (e.g. ship, machinery, terminal equipment, tugs, etc.); o Identify if there may be environmental damage or pollution (e.g. ocean, land, fish, animals, birds, plants, etc.); o Identify if those carrying out the operations or who the task may fall to are experienced; o In the case of equipment identify if any manufacturers guidance is available; o In the case of hazardous material identify pertinent MSDS information (e.g. IMDG Code, etc.); o Identify if regulatory, company or industry standard procedures are already available.7.2.2 Risk EstimationRisk is estimated by those performing the Risk Assessment basedupon the probability and potential impact of accidents that they haveseen or are aware of through industry contacts and forums.• By approximating values based upon the experience of the individuals involved, risk may be estimated by referencing a standardized risk matrix• The standard risk matrix provided in Figure 7.2-1 below is derived from an ISO standard model as included in Det Norske Veritas guidelines.Controlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 7 of 17

System Policies & Procedures• If risk control measures can bring the risk to the ALARP condition, the job can be performed with a greater measure of safety, but the crew must continuously monitor and review during the activity to ensure the risk level remains within acceptable limits.7.2.3 Risk ControlUnless the initial evaluation reveals the task or activity in question isan acceptable risk, additional controls may need to be established toremove or reduce the risk, through: • Elimination or Avoidance of the hazard • Substitution of the dangerous aspect with something less hazardous • Modification of the activity so that the hazard is handled in a different manner • Isolation the hazards through Lock-Out Tag-Out Techniques • Provision of Engineering Controls (e.g. machine guards, nets, safety barriers) • Requirement for Back-up controls (e.g. Personnel Protective Equipment, and contingency plan is something goes wrong)7.2.4 Close-Out TargetsFor some tasks and activities (such as Hot Work or Confined SpaceEntry) the specific validity of controls put in place must be specified byindicating a definitive close out target. Close out targets shouldindicate:• The expected duration of the activity• Estimated date and time when all affected systems will have been restored and all personnel may resume normal operations• Close-Out Targets are to be estimated based upon the aggregate of all controls and remain in effect till the last control is liftedControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 9 of 17
System Policies & Procedures• For Planned Shutdown of Critical Equipment, any extension of time or alternate action requires review and approval of the Technical Superintendent• Changes not carried out within the proposed time scale are to be reviewed and revalidated• Risk assessments are to be discussed with the team involved in the task prior to commencement• Electronic copies of Risk Assessments are maintained in the JSA Builder On-line Risk Assessment Tool where the common E-Library is provided for experience transfer7.2.5 Risk MonitoringFor every job or activity, someone must supervise it's conduct.Normally prime responsibility falls to the department head, but as jobsare delegated to be carried out, responsibility to monitor the riskassociated with a particular job cascades down to the senior manparticipating. A Risk Assessment must include:• Assignment of a responsible supervisor o Responsible to monitor the situation to watch for risks occurring, new risks emerging, or changes in the assessment of existing risks o Responsible to confirm restoration of all effected systems, account for all involved personnel, and give the go ahead to resume normal operations o Responsible to report completion of the task and close-out to the Master7.2.6 When to Conduct a Risk Assessment• Risk assessments should be conducted or reviewed for all of the following: o All new or non-routine tasks and changesControlled Revision: 01 Sep 2015HSM Part A – SPP Doc No. 007RISK MANAGEMENT Approval: WBF Page: 10 of 17
