1 INTRODUCTION

Coronaviruses (CoV) are a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging
from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory
Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome
(SARS-CoV). A novel coronavirus (nCoV) is a new strain that has not been
previously identified in humans.
Coronaviruses are zoonotic, meaning they are transmitted between animals and
people. Detailed investigations found that SARS-CoV was transmitted from civet
cats to humans and MERS-CoV from dromedary camels to humans. Several
known coronaviruses are circulating in animals that have not yet infected
humans.
There is currently no vaccine to prevent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However,
as a reminder, Enerflex recommends everyday preventive actions to help
prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including viruses such as cold, flu
and COVID-19.

2 PURPOSE

The purpose of this procedure is to highlight the precautions to be and are been
taking throughout the Enerflex Oman Operations and Office. Also, to limit
exposure to personnel and maintain operations due to the ongoing situation with
the new Corona Virus (COVID-19).

3 SCOPE

This procedure is applicable to all Enerflex employees, Labour supplier

sub-contractors at all Enerflex sites.

7 PREVENTATIVE MEASURES

The best way to prevent illness is to avoid being exposed to this virus. However,
as a reminder, Enerflex recommends everyday preventive actions to help
prevent the spread of respiratory diseases, including viruses such as cold, flu
and COVID-19.

7.1 Basic Protective Measures Against New Coronavirus (COVID 19)

Stay aware of the latest information on the COVID-19 outbreak, available on the
WHO website and through your national and local public health authority
(Oman MOH).
Take care of your health and protect others by doing the following:
1. Wash Your Hands Frequently
• Regularly and thoroughly clean your hands with an alcohol-based hand
rub or wash them with soap and water

• Why? Washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based
hand rub kills viruses that may be on your hands

2. Maintain Social Distancing

• Maintain at least 1-meter (3 feet) distance between yourself and anyone
who is coughing or sneezing

• Why? When someone coughs or sneezes, they spray small liquid

droplets from their nose or mouth which may contain virus. If you are
too close, you can breathe in the droplets, including the COVID-19 virus
if the person coughing has the disease

3. Avoid Touching Eyes, Nose and Mouth

• Why? Hands touch many surfaces and can pick up viruses. Once
contaminated, hands can transfer the virus to your eyes, nose or
mouth. From there, the virus can enter your body and can make you
sick.

Oman COVID-19 Contingency Plan for Sustaining Operations

4. Practice Respiratory Hygiene

• Make sure you, and the people around you, follow good respiratory
hygiene. This means covering your mouth and nose with your bent
elbow or tissue when you cough or sneeze. Then dispose of the used
tissue immediately.

• Why? Droplets spread virus. By following good respiratory hygiene, you

protect the people around you from viruses such as cold, flu and
COVID-19.

• Face masks or Dust masks should only be worn by personnel who are
ill or attending to a person who is ill.

5. If you have fever, cough and difficulty breathing, seek medical care early
• Stay home if you feel unwell. If you have a fever, cough and difficulty
breathing, seek medical attention and call in advance. Follow the
directions of your local health authority.

• Why? National and local authorities will have the most up to date
information on the situation in your area. Calling in advance will allow
your health care provider to quickly direct you to the right health facility.
This will also protect you and help prevent spread of viruses and other
infections.

10 WORK GROUPS IN ENERFLEX OMAN OPERATIONS

Work groups will be small and segregated as much as possible.

Morning maintenance/tailgate meetings will be conducted by discipline.
Minimum number of personnel to be working together as necessary to complete
tasks.
When not, on-site personnel are encouraged to stay at their designated desks /
offices / rooms and to avoid contact as much as possible.
In the event of somebody becoming Infected a minimum number would have to
go into quarantine, therefore keeping numbers of personnel available to operate
the site. Site HSE and Clinic personnel will take control and instructions need to
be strictly followed. No persons will be permitted to leave the project site
location, to ensure that spread is limited.

1. In case our field personnel are reduced, we would delay none critical
maintenance/activities to focus on maintaining the site operational.
2. The deployment of additional human resources from other groups would be
considered but avoided if possible, in case of contamination from outside
sources.
3. Our stocks of essential materials i.e. Lubricating oils are being checked so we
can keep running in the event of an escalation in the situation. This is also
considered for food supplies at remote locations.
4. Staff are willing to extend their rotations in the event of travel delays,
quarantines etc.
5. Muscat office employees can work from home through their laptops. Laptop
checked with remote connectivity.
