1 QHSE Policy Our licence to operate

2 Contents Service Quality and HSE represent a top priority for us not only because they are vital to the success of our business, but because lives depend on their successful management. Central to this is to provide a safe, healthy and environmentally sustainable workplace for our employees, contractors and customers. Åge Landro, CEO Additionally, a commitment to operational excellence and first time quality is key to ensure we develop the best relationships with our customers, contractors and the community. We do this by setting clear roles and responsibilities and implementing a practical and efficient management system. This empowers all our employees with the authority and responsibility to play their part in maintaining our commitment to continual improvement. We must integrate QHSE into everything we do and strive to set the benchmark for service quality and HSE performance for others to follow. Our QHSE Policy is our Licence to Operate and we all have a responsibility to protect that. Who does the policy apply to? What is expected of you?

We design products and services to have no undue environmental impact, to be safe and to be efficient in consuming energy and natural resources. We seek to ensure that our products can be recycled or disposed of safely. We will only have satisfied customers when we understand their needs, requirements and preferences, and when our performance in every area is aligned to meet or exceed these expectations. Every employee is responsible for the quality of their own work. Our goal is to maintain a high reliability rate for our products and services and committing to a consistently high level of service.

5 Delivering on our commitments Apply a systematic and measurable approach to continually improve our QHSE culture and performance. Develop and implement a robust emergency response and preparedness plan where all relevant personnel have clear roles and responsibilities and with the requisite level of training. Require every employee to take personal responsibility for QHSE by focusing on the behaviours of themselves and their colleagues. Empower every employee with stop work authority.
