1.0 Introduction
The purpose of this OMV Yemen / Nabors Drilling International Limited (NDIL) Bridging Document is to
provide a common baseline for the project in terms of policies & procedures, especially for certain safety
related areas. The objective is:

1. To reconcile the different standards, practices and/or procedures between OMV & NDIL, in order to
obtain consistency.

2. To resolve differences, particularly when it comes to implementing certain fundamental procedures

where there is potential for interpretation and clarification. This will contribute to a permanent state of
readiness, especially when prompt reaction and decision-making are essential.

OMV has contracted NDIL to provide drilling services for the OMV Habban field development phase 2 project
in Yemen. In order to plan, manage and control drilling operations and fulfill those responsibilities this
document serves as a formal bridging between OMV and NDIL HSE Management System.

2.0 Project Basic HSSE Beliefs & Strategies.

OMV has developed a set of values and strategies which shall apply to all operations undertaken by OMV
around the world. These values and strategies shall apply to the operations on NDIL Rigs in Yemen during
drilling operations.

NDIL have a set of Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) beliefs and values which have been combined into
OMV Drilling Project HSSE Values, Beliefs and Basic Strategies.

2.1 Beliefs and Guiding Principles

 All accidents and incidents are preventable.
 Do it safely or not at all.
 There is always time to do it right.

2.2 OMV and NDIL Safety Culture

Employees shall:
 Comply with all applicable rules and regulations.
 Report all incidents, near misses and unsafe conditions.
 Participate in investigations when required and share lessons learned.
2.3. NDIL 10 Rules to Live By and OMV 8 Golden Rules
The 10 Rules to Live By campaign was developed to demonstrate Nabors’ commitment to provide a safe and
incident-free work environment. It highlights the areas of operation that have the highest potential to impact
the lives of our employees and the measures that can be taken to mitigate those risks.

2.4 STOP Work Authority

All personnel involved in the Yemen drilling operations have the responsibility to stop any unsafe act or
condition, and there will be no repercussions for exercising this authority. Personnel shall:
o Observe their own and their colleagues’ behaviors.
o Raise safety concerns in a positive way, with constructive suggestions.
o Expect, encourage and respect feedback from others.
o Recognize and reinforce positive safety performance.
o Accept that individuals will be held accountable for at risk behaviors.

alcohol are not permitted.

 This policy applies to all OMV, NDIL and Service Company personnel.
 Personnel will be briefed on the OMV and NDIL Drug and Alcohol policy requirements at the rig site
induction.
 Smoking is strictly prohibited in all offices and cabins.

The workers on location who are suffering from a medical condition and are taking prescribed medication

11
 HSSE Bridging document
OMV-Nabors

* This is only a guide as the situation on-site may require more stringent controls to be in place due to the
nature of the work being performed.

All rig isolations, including 3rd party contractor equipment isolations will be undertaken using the NDIL
Lockout/Tagout procedure as described in NDIL procedure HSE-22-01. This procedure applies to all
personnel when servicing and performing maintenance on machines and equipment, in which the unexpected
energization, start up or the release of stored energy could cause injury / damage to equipment.

The senior on-site NDIL representative is responsible for ensuring that the NDIL PTW system is implemented
for all tasks and is the Approval Authority for all site permits which should bear his signature. The completed
PTW package will be countersigned by the OMV Drilling Supervisor or his delegate before work can be
undertaken at the rig location.

All work undertaken under the NDIL Permit to Work system is required to be supported by a JSA and Toolbox
Talks meeting of minutes. All opened PTW need to be logged onto the PTW log for auditing purposes. The
PTW and associated JSA will be reviewed and signed by the NDIL Rig Manager and the OMV Drilling
Supervisor or their delegated authority. Closeout of PTW should be audited by NDIL Rig Manager and OMV
Drilling Supervisor.

The open permits shall be displayed at the following locations:

o NDIL Rig Manager’s Office (White Copy to be kept on PTW board)

7.7 Occupational Health and Hygiene

Personal hygiene is always necessary at work and is absolutely essential when exposed to toxic substances
that can be absorbed through the skin. The skin is the most vulnerable part of the body as it is the most
exposed. Injured skin can let in microorganisms; intact skin can absorb chemicals, giving rise to dermatitis,
whilst biological agents can give rise to bacterial, fungal or parasitic infections. In these conditions protective
clothing and careful cleansing policies should be rigidly adhered to.
Oral hygiene is also important. When dust, fumes or gases are encountered, protective masks should be
worn to prevent these from entering the mouth or nose as they may cause irritation or inflammation.
Protective clothing should be worn where required and laundered frequently.
Consumption of food and drink must be in a separate area from where toxic risks exist.
