All personnel are required to immediately intervene in any unsafe operation. Yes No Partial N/A <=Example Colors 2. ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Primary Responsibility 2.1 The Truck Driver is the party accountable for ensuring that all loads are properly and legally secured prior to road transportation. 3. REGULATORY COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS General All equipment and material transported for Shell Upstream Americas via land transportation methods 3.1 must be: properly and securely restrained to the vehicle in which it is being transported and fully compliant with applicable Federal/State/Provincial regulations. 3.2 Shell Upstream Americas Contractors It is the responsibility of Shell Upstream Americas road transport contractors to secure cargo in complete compliance with all applicable local, State/Provincial, and Federal regulations. 4. GENERAL LOADING AND UNLOADING REQUIREMENTS Cargo Securement Cargo must be completely immobilized and secured on or within the transport vehicle using chains, straps, dunnage, or a combination of these. 4.1 Chocks, wedges, a cradle, or equivalent must be used to restrain cargo capable of rolling. Cargo securement devices must not unfasten or come loose in transit. Articles of cargo placed beside each other and secured by transverse tie-downs must either be: placed in direct contact with each other or prevented from shifting towards each other while in transit. If straps used to secure cargo are subject to abrasion, edge protection resistant to abrasion, cutting, and crushing must be used (edge protection composed of paper is prohibited). Hoses used by carriers must be securely stowed in their hose racks and/or hose troughs before moving. This includes while moving within the lease Center of Gravity The cargo must be secured to the performance criteria from this standard, with particular attention to the center of Gravity (CG). If the location of the CG is unknown or not obvious, an engineering representative must determine securement before request for transport. If the item to be transported is deemed an exceptional load, reference Section 4.3 Exceptional Loads for further guidance. If the height of the object is greater than its base, the CG must be properly derived before request for transport. Exceptional Loads Any load may be designated as an exceptional load by Shell. Typically, a load will be designated as exceptional if: the equipment requires special handling due to: the load not likely being tied down adequately by commonly available truck drivers, size, weight, or awkward or bulky shape (e.g. with a high center of gravity), making proper securement difficult. loss or damage would result in: substantial economic loss or major time delays to the project. For further information and guidance on exceptional loads, refer to HSE0134-PR01 Road Transport of Exceptional Loads. Loading Height The top layer of pipe must not extend more than half its diameter above the pipe stanchions, dock racks, or headache rack. It is the truck driver s responsibility to ensure that the highest point of the load/trailer/vehicle has sufficient overhead clearance along the entire route, including the pickup and drop off locations (e.g. entrance gates).

2 4.5 Safety Zone No personnel shall be within 20' of the truck or forklift while all cargo is being loaded or unloaded whenever practical. The respective vendor and/or location must clearly mark this safety zone. If a forklift is used to install or remove chocks on a trailer, the forklift must be in position, stationary, and have its park brake set before personnel approach. A safe zone should also be realized when working around vacuum or pump truck hoses. NEVER WALK OVER A HIGH PRESSURE HOSE. 5. RESTRAINT REQUIREMENTS Working Load Limit The working load limit (WLL) or safe working limit (SWL) is the maximum load that may be placed on any component of a cargo securement system during normal service. All devices must be clearly marked as such with a WLL marking. The total WLL of a cargo securement system must be at least 100% of the weight of the article being secured. 5.1 NOTE: The total WLL is the sum of the WLL of each chain and/or strap used to secure the article. For example, a 20,000-lb article of cargo must be secured using chains and/or straps with a combined working load limit of 20,000 lbs or more. The working load limit of any restraining device used to secure cargo must not be exceeded. Any restraining device not marked by the manufacturer with its working load limit will be considered to have a working load limit of the lowest grade or classification for the type and size of the component being used. Chains and Devices Chains must at a minimum be 5/16", Grade 70 transport chain meeting NACM specifications. If securing with chains, use at least 4 chains in a cross bind pattern (this pattern restrains movement in any direction). Additional restraining devices must be used if necessary. NOTE: HSE0134-GL01-TO.01 Chain Chart may also be used as a guide and indicates the minimum number of chains required to secure a single article of cargo to 100% of its weight. Chains must be applied to a load such that the angle is more than 45 from horizontal or vertical as demonstrated in Figure 1 below. Figure 1 Lashing Geometry 5.2 NOTES: The full WLL of a chain is achieved only when the chain is in a straight pull (or straight line). Attaching chains to a load with less than a 45 angle greatly reduces their WLL. Cross binding a load on the front and rear offers restraint from movement in all directions. The ratchet-style load binder is the approved securement device when chain configurations are used to secure cargo. The use of lever-style load binders to secure cargo is prohibited. The stored energy of these devices introduces the potential for serious injury to the driver when breaking or releasing the handle of the lever binder. These hazards are compounded when cheater pipes are applied to aid drivers in providing leverage on the binder. Figure 2 depicts the two types of binder devices: 5.3 Nylon Straps Straps must be nylon and at least 4" wide to secure items on trailer decks. The driver may use 2" straps to secure items inside of baskets, containers, motor vehicle beds and moving parts of equipment. (This may be in addition to any securement the shipper has provided.) Nylon straps used to secure the load must be placed in the immediate proximity of each support point. Whenever possible, straps should be run between the rub rail and the trailer for added protection. For loads with tubular goods greater than 5" in diameter there must be at least 2 straps per loaded layer for all goods. For loads with tubular goods 5" or less in diameter there must be at least 1 strap per loaded layer in a staggered sequence from layer to layer. To complete the securement of the tubular load, a minimum of 4 straps must be applied over the entire properly stripped and chocked load. 5.4 For all other goods a minimum of 2 straps must be used. Mixing Restraints When mixing restraints on a single article of cargo it is the driver s responsibility to ensure that 100% of the WLL is secured.

3 6. CHOCKS AND OTHER TRANSPORT MATERIALS REQUIREMENTS Chocks At least 2 hardwood (pre-drilled) or plastic chocks suitable for securing each layer of loaded tubular goods must: be placed on the first and last boards of each layer (for a minimum total of 4 chocks per layer), and 6.1 prevent side-to-side movement of the material during: transport, loading, or unloading. All chocks must have at least two double headed nails. Chock Sizes The following table lists chock size requirements Crates No materials may be loaded or transported on top of pipe. Palletized Cargo and Drums All materials being transported on pallets must be evenly distributed and bundled by means of plastic/poly/steel banding, or cargo straps. Drums must contain a properly secured pallet on the top and bottom of the barrels to complete the load. Palletized sack material must contain a properly secured pallet on the top and bottom of the barrels to complete the load. 6.4 Palletized drums and/or buckets must be secured using strapping applied horizontally to prevent shifting during transit, as follows: When using steel or plastic banding, a minimum of two straps shall be applied for each palletized load and banding shall be a minimum of 1" in diameter. If cargo straps are being used, a minimum of two 2" or two 4" straps shall be applied. Stretch film is not permitted as a primary means of securing drums or other equipment to a pallet. As a best practice, containment pallets should be considered for use when available. Palletized units must be secured to the vehicle or transport platform in accordance with restraint requirements outlined in this document. The layering or stacking of palletized drums for flatbed transport is strictly prohibited. All pallets must be inspected to ensure proper serviceability by the driver/shipper prior to each use. The use of pallets (especially wood pallets) is highly discouraged due to risk of pallet collapse from structural faults and/or over use. 7. TRUCK DRIVER RESPONSIBILITIES General 7.1 The truck driver shall refuse to transport tanks, equipment, and containers that are not properly prepared in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation 49 CFR requirements. Before Vehicle Operation Truck drivers are responsible for ensuring that the following requirements are met before equipment or material is transported for Shell Upstream Americas: The provisions of the Shell Upstream Americas Load Securement Standard as well as any and all local, State, and Federal regulations are met. The driver may use HSE0134-GL01-TO.02 Load Securement Checklist as a guideline. The driver must complete a Job Safety Analysis (JSA) prior to commencing any loading/unloading activities. 7.2 Truck drivers have Stop Work Authority and should challenge the shipper s preparation of the load for transport. If problems arise from vendor adherence to this requirement, truck drivers must immediately report to the safety directorate who will contact the Shell road transport focal person. The vehicle s tailgate, tailboard, doors, tarpaulins, spare tire, and other equipment used in its operation are secured. The cargo or any other object does not do any of the following: Obscure the truck driver s view ahead or to the right or left sides Prevent his/her free and ready access to accessories required for emergencies Prevent the free and ready exit of any person from the cab or truck driver s compartment Special for Tubulars For the transportation of unbolstered tubular goods, refer to Section 8 (Unbolstered Tubular ). Solid Barrier Restraint Truck Drivers should consider the restraint offered by placing an article of cargo against a solid barrier such as the drop of a drop deck trailer. 7.5 Loose Items For items placed inside open top transport containers, the truck drivers must verify that small items, loose material, or pipe do not become projectiles in the event of sudden deceleration and/or roll-over situations. For items that cannot be visually inspected, reference Stop Work Authority under Section 7.2.

4 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Each truck/driver shall have the following equipment upon arrival at the assigned work location: Hard hat meeting or exceeding the current ANSI standards (or recognized equivalent standard per country) Impact-resistant safety glasses with side shields that meet or exceed the current ANSI standards Steel-toe safety shoes or boots that meet or exceed current ANSI standards Work gloves (Refer to MSDS for Shell site-specific requirements.) Fluorescent colored vest (Refer to Shell area orientation for site-specific requirements.) Wearing Safety Equipment The required safety equipment must be worn at all times while: loading, unloading, and securing any type of load. Sharing safety equipment between truck drivers is expressly prohibited. The loading or unloading facility will not furnish PPE or tubular loading materials to trucks/drivers. Non-Compliant Trucks/Drivers Trucks/drivers arriving at the work location to load without the proper safety equipment or materials will not be loaded, and will be asked to leave the work location immediately, but are allowed to leave, obtain the required equipment, and return for loading. Trucks arriving at the work location to unload without the required safety equipment will not be unloaded until the required safety equipment is obtained. Any truck driver acting in an unsafe manner will be requested and required to leave the work location immediately. The truck driver s dispatcher and safety director will be informed of this action. At Shell Upstream Americas discretion, trucks/drivers arriving at a location to unload without a properly secured load will not be unloaded. The vehicle will be asked to leave the work location immediately, but may return to the location once properly secured. NOTE: All costs incurred by non-compliance are the responsibility of the trucking contractor. 8. UNBOLSTERED TUBULAR REQUIREMENTS Scope These requirements: are for the specific purpose of transporting unbolstered tubular goods for Shell Upstream Americas and are Shell Upstream Americas-specific Properly bolstered tubulars loads may be treated as normal cargo and secured as such. 8.1 These requirements apply to the loading, transport, and unloading of all unbolstered tubular goods at all locations, including but not limited to the following: Pipe yards Seaport or shorebase docks Threading or inspection facilities These requirements apply to all types of trucks including but not limited to: tandem axle, single axle, mini-floats, and hot shots. Loading Truck drivers are responsible for ensuring that the following requirements are met before unbolstered tubulars are loaded: Each loaded layer of tubular goods must be contained within the confines of the stanchions and must not rest on them for restraint. All pipe must be placed on the truck with collars facing in the same direction for ease of unloading and stacking pipe at field sites. Each layer must be properly stripped using hardwood stripping in at least three points per layer. Nylon straps and other means of securement must avoid the area of the thread protectors, couplings, and/or upsets to minimize thread damage. 8.2 To prevent shifting of material, all tubular goods must be uniformly loaded and secured to the trailer at all times, including during staging. To ensure uniform loading, pup joints must not be interspersed with other lengths of pipe. Different diameter pipe may be hauled on the same load provided that each layer is of similar diameter from layer to layer. Each new layer must sit on a fully stripped and chocked layer. Also note that when hauling pipe of different diameter they can be hauled on a single layer only when the different diameters can be independently stripped and chocked. It is permissible to haul different diameter of pipe on the same load only when each different size is of pipe is able to be segregated per layer. Truck drivers must not remove the load securement devices on a load of tubulars until the truck is in its final position where it will be unloaded. Likewise, prior to moving a loaded vehicle, it must first be fully secured and prepared for transport.

5 Tubular Stripping and Strapping It is permissible for tubulars to be secured using one 4" nylon strap for every 10' of length applied over a properly stripped and chocked load when moving tubulars between locations within the confines of a facility or leased property. While secured in this fashion, the truck must not travel on, or across, public lands or public roadways. Tubular goods must be transported horizontally, stripped between each layer as follows: Stripping must have at least 3 support points. For tubular goods greater than 5" in diameter, 4" x 4" hardwood (nominal size) must be used. For tubular goods 5" or less in diameter, 2" x 4" hardwood (nominal size) may be used, but 4" x 4" timbers are suggested for ease of forklift operations. Strips must be placed directly above one another from layer to layer to prevent bending of the tubular material being transported. Stripping must not make contact with the threaded connections, couplings, and/or upsets to minimize thread damage of any tubular good. Each loaded layer of tubulars must have a minimum of 1 chock per corner (4 per layer to complete the load), and each chock should be installed with 2 double-headed nails. (Stacking and nailing together 2" x 4"s or 4" x 4"s is not permitted.) If pup joints are transported horizontally on a properly secured layer of tubulars, as follows: Only one layer of pup joints shall be loaded. A loaded layer of pup joints must be contained within the confines of at least one set of stanchions and must not rest on them for restraint. 8.3 Nylon straps and other means of securement must avoid the area of the thread protectors, couplings, and/or upsets to minimize thread damage. There must be minimum of 3 straps, with the center strap being belly wrapped per layer of pup joints. To prevent shifting of material, all pup joints must be uniformly loaded and secured to the trailer at all times, including during staging to ensure uniform loading. Pipe must be loaded with all collars facing in the same direction (Cab Forward). Pup joints must not be interspersed with other lengths of pipe. Different diameter pup joints may be hauled on the same load provided that each layer is of similar diameter and provided that the different diameters can be independently stripped and chocked. Stripping for pup joints must have at least 2 support points and a minimum of two 2" x 4" dunnage. Stripping must not make contact with the threaded connections, couplings, and/or upsets to minimize thread damage of pup joints. Each loaded layer of tubulars must have a minimum of 1 chock per corner (4 per layer to complete the load), and each chock should be installed with 2 double headed nails. Truck drivers must not remove the load securement devices on a load of pup joints until the truck is in its final position where it will be unloaded. Likewise, prior to moving a loaded vehicle, it must first be fully secured and prepared for transport. NOTE: For areas so designated by Shell s Road Transport Team, any unbolstered tubular items less than 8' must be transported in a basket. If a shipper is unable to allocate a Shell-approved basket for shipment, Shell s primary hauler or Logistics Coordination Group will arrange for the arrival of a basket at the shipper s location. The shipper must ensure that the contents of the basket are properly secured within the basket and that the securement meets all HSE0134 requirements. 8.4 All tubular-associated equipment must be properly secured as well. Safety All tubular material must be handled in a manner to prevent personnel injury and property damage. The transport contractor or contract carrier shall fully comply with the latest edition of Contractor Health, Safety, and Environmental handbook. 8.5 Trailer Types Pole trailers must not be used to transport tubular goods. Drop deck trailers may be used if the following three conditions are met: The pipe is fully supported on the deck of the trailer. The pipe does not exceed the lower deck length. Shell-approved pipe stanchions and/or dock racks/pipe bunks are in place. NOTE: Bridging of loads on a drop deck trailer is not allowed.

6 Pipe Stanchions All trailers must be equipped with at least 4 individual pipe stanchions or 2 dock racks/pipe bunks. Stanchions and dock racks/pipe bunks shall meet the following requirements: Be properly padded with PVC or similar material to protect tubular goods during transit. Not be constructed of channel iron or angle iron. Be of sufficient size, weight, and strength to properly support the transport of tubular goods being transported. Fully restrain tubular goods from uncontrolled movement during transportation. Hold the tubular goods fast during the loading and unloading process when all other securing devices (e.g. straps and chocks) are disengaged. 8.6 Each loaded layer of tubular goods must be contained within the confines of the stanchions and must not rest on them for restraint. The last loaded layer of tubulars may be loaded above the stanchion as long as the layer does not exceed the height of the stanchion by more than half of the diameter of the tubular. For example, 5" pipe may exceed the height of the stanchion by no more than 2.5". Pipe stanchions must be constructed of steel and be at least 3" in diameter. Square tubing stanchions must be constructed of steel and at least 3" x 3". Dock racks/pipe bunks must be at least 3" x 3" square tube construction, steel, and should be constructed to prevent rolling while loading/unloading/transport (e.g. pinned, staked, or gusseted) Mini-float (e.g. gooseneck and utility trailers) square tubing stanchions must be constructed of steel and at least 2" x 2" and dock racks/pipe bunks must be at least 2" x 2" square tube construction, steel, and should be constructed to prevent rolling while loading/unloading/transport (e.g. pinned, staked, or gusseted). Headache Rack Trailers or their power units must have a headache rack that: extends above the deck of the trailer at least 48", is made of aluminum or steel, and is of sufficient strength to resist penetration by any tubular good being hauled on the trailer. Trailer Condition Trailer decks must be sound. Trailers that have visible holes or boards that are rotted and could break once loaded will not be accepted for loading at any Shell Upstream Americas Vendor yard, pipe yard, field site, seaport dock, or shorebase. Padding All trailer accessories, metal racks, metal angles, etc. must be covered or padded with sufficient material. Padding material must prevent metal-to-metal contact with the tubular goods being transported. 9. BOLSTERED TUBULAR REQUIREMENTS General Pipe bolsters that were purpose built for stacking may be stacked no higher than the cab of the tractor. 9.1 The party that provides the pipe bolsters is responsible for ensuring that the bolsters are in good working order. Pipe stanchions are not a requirement when loading pipe that is properly bolstered; however, pipe stanchions are required when transporting Poly Pipe (whether bolstered or not). No additional items may be loaded on top of bolstered pipe. TOTALS: TOTAL OF ALL YES, NO, AND PARTIAL: 101 PERCENTAGE IN COMPLIANCE: 0
