The information provided in this document is based on accepted international health organizations
recommendations and good practice guidance.
Additionally, the B.O.O.K. contains guidelines, which supplement the fundamental controls and risk
based health controls. These include definitions, specification documents and references.
Section 1.0
The risk-based approach taken addresses COVID-19 exposure according to the following criteria:
Country exposure level: for the purposes of this Standard, States or Territories in larger
countries are subject to the country level controls described below e.g. USA, Canada,
Australia, Russia
Location exposure level: suspected or confirmed cases at a location, this may be at a
manufacturing center, office, field operational location, vessel etc.
Individual exposure level: personal exposure, based on close contact with confirmed
COVID-19 cases, recent travel to a high-risk country (i.e. Level 3 according to the
Schlumberger classification) or symptoms
The COVID-19 country risk levels are based on number of reported positive cases according to
WHO, CDC and Johns Hopkins University (all links are made available in the app). The risk levels
are up-dated daily based on the information available from these reputable health resources. The
App can be used to find current country risk levels. Many health organizations and countries have
developed their own risk matrices, Schlumberger’s approach has been developed with our health
partner advice, previous company experience such as, SARS, H1N1, etc.
To establish the risk-based health controls to be applied in each country, four levels have been
defined to set geographic actions to help us minimize health risk while also minimizing business
impact. These are:
Level 0: No confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in the country
Level 1: For clusters of less than 25 confirmed COVID-19 cases reported in a country
Level 2: Limited impact countries where between 25 and 100 confirmed COVID-19 cases
have been reported
Level 3: Significantly impacted countries where more than 100 confirmed COVID-19
cases have been reported
Note: Additional levels may be added as required.
Additional risk factors may be used to raise a country exposure risk level, such as the availability
and effectiveness of local health authorities to test for confirmation of cases or provide medical
support, guidance from international health organizations, such as the World Health Organization,
company health service providers etc. Such circumstances shall be assessed on a case by case
basis at SL level. Country exposure risk levels will be downgraded, based on similar sources of
information, such as reduced infection rate, increased recovery rate, improvements in mortality per
capita, advances in treatment or vaccination etc.
Location exposure level for sites which are not owned or managed by Schlumberger requires co-
ordination with other parties to monitor exposure levels, such as:
Customers and/ or drilling contractors for operational locations where Schlumberger
personnel are working e.g. offshore installations, remote land operations
Landlords and third party occupants of leased or rented facilities, where Schlumberger
has partial occupancy
A suspected case requires actions to be taken to restrict access to a location, and/ or potentially
the temporary quarantine of one or more persons in an designated room on site, depending on the
remoteness of the location and location of available accommodation, or self-isolation e.g. at home.
A confirmed case may involve complete access restrictions to a location and disinfection/ deep
clean e.g. office. One or more confirmed cases may require the quarantine of all persons on a
remote location e.g. offshore installation, remote land rig with accommodation, vessel etc. until the
results of testing are available.
Investigations of close contact to confirmed cases shall be conducted to determine the need for
location closure, quarantine or self-isolation on a case by case basis, in co-operation with involved
stakeholders e.g. local health authorities, customers, transportation providers etc.
As a global organization with frequent international and domestic travel and personnel in contact
with frequent travelers, a Self-Assessment process is used to determine an individual’s exposure
risk. The results of this assessment are used to determine exposure related risk-based controls.
Note: It is irrelevant to the exposure self-assessment process if travel involving a high risk country
or exposure to a suspected or positive case was for business or personal reasons.
The self- assessment exposure forms are required to be completed as part of the travel
exemption process and also serve to identify any high risk eposure to COVID-19 as a result of:
Travel by the individual (whether business or personal travel)
Close contact with people who have been in a Schlumberger defined COVID-19 Level 3
country within the previous 14 days
Close contact with a suspected or confirmed COVID-19 cases within the previous 14 days
Different assessments are available, all are in the COVID-19 Schlumberger SAFE Power App,
based on geographic legal requirements:
North America (USA and Canada)
EUR and SCA GeoMarkets (subject to additional data privacy regulations)
Rest of the World
The self-assessment for the individual’s assigned location should be completed. See Appendix C
for the content of the questionnaires. These forms are available in the COVID-19 section of the
HSE Communications Toolkit and can be completed directly in the COVID-19 Schlumberger SAFE
Power App.
Note on Confidentiality: Caution must used to keep the identity of any positive or symptomatic
employees confidential and only involve people with a need to know as part of the appropriate
protective measures. Additional legal guidance on data privacy is available to ensure the
confidentiality of information provided is maintained, in accordance with Data Privacy Guidelines
for COVID-19 Protocols, available from the COVID-19 section of the HSE Communications
Toolkit.
Section 2.0
2 Fundamental Controls
This section describes the details of the fundamental health controls and how they should be
applied in all countries and operational locations, for all employees and locations. These measures
will strive to ensure that people are compliant with company requirements in relation to COVID-19.
The fundamental COVID-19 controls which apply to all Schlumberger employees and contractors
are as follows:
COVID-19 awareness training
Adopt good hygiene practices
Schlumberger defined COVID-19 Country exposure risk level
Awareness Training
The fundamental health controls include the following health training, required for all Schlumberger
employees in all locations:
COVID-19 Level 1 (Basic) – 10 minute online presentation session with the objective of providing
understanding of the basics of COVID-19 prevention of infection. Records are maintained in
QUEST.
Resources are available from the COVID-19 section of the HSE Communications Toolkit
As the lifecycle of the pandemic develops, each country is assigned a Schlumberger COVID-19
exposure risk level, based on the process described in Section 1.1.
Medical SME’s shall be engaged to assist with communication briefings and monitoring of epidemic
progress throughout the lifecycle, including a review and update of medical evacuation processes
and advice with 3rd party primary health advisor. Updated information shall be provided to EMTs/
CMTs at each country exposure risk level.
This information is updated on a daily basis, see Section 1.2 for the definitions and criteria used for
these Schlumberger defined levels.
This risk level for each country can be identified from the COVID-19 Schlumberger SAFE Power
App.
Section 3.0
Risk-based Controls
3 Risk–based Controls
The risk-based controls shall be implemented based on the exposure level for the country and
location and/ or the results of an individual’s exposure self-assessment:
Information and Engagement
Reduce Exposure
Crisis Management Preparedness
Business Continuity Planning
Information and Engagement
In a large scale crisis such as the global COVID-19 pandemic and a global operational footprint
Schlumberger has, it is critical to effective management of the crisis to maximize the use of all the
available Information Technologies, resources and digital solutions. These tools help our crisis and
emergency management teams respond rapidly on the ground while enabling critical
communication connections between leaders, teams and all involved stakeholders throughout the
lifecycle of such an event.
The company’s infrastructure and digital framework have been fully deployed, providing all global
users with the necessary capacity in terms of:
Local and regional Gateways
Uninterrupted Global Service Desks in different areas and time-zones, ready to handle
real-time support to all type of end-users
A fully dedicated Cyber-Security Center in different areas and time-zones to cope with
themed cyber-attack, phishing and malware attacks
A dedicated IT Crisis Management Team to respond to any incident and provide
continuity to business, 24 hours 7 days a week
Digital Framework
Our current digital framework of tools and applications not only enables all employee in every
corner of the world to engage with the centralized global and specific GeoMarket Crisis
Management Teams. These tools provides the teams with accurate real-time data and information,
communication and planning tools to better respond and make the right decisions at the right time.
The development of a global application, the COVID-19 Schlumberger SAFE Power App, that acts
as an content-management tool for information from trustworthy sources to help guide the
employees to take timely and well-informed decisions.
In this way Schlumberger not only conveys reliable and timely information but also helps reduce
the possibility of having employees access or download unreliable or misleading information from
high-risk sources, posing an ideal opportunity for cyber-attacks.
The COVID-19 Schlumberger SAFE Power App has been designed to encompass information
grouped in several topics, including:
Live updates
General awareness Information
Frequently asked questions and answers
Prevention and mitigation measures
How to respond to different scenarios
Emergency contacts
Real time risk-assessment resources
Links to reliable resources and sources of information
In addition to the centralized app as the go-to resources to manage the crisis, the organization as
relied on additional support the IT framework can provide, evidenced in the following digital tools
and applications:
Silverpop: a mass email application to broadcast key messages and call for action from
the corporate executive team
myHub: dedicated site at the corporate’s intranet for timely updates on the global situation
QUEST: dedicated HSE learning and competency management for awareness tracking and
multi-cultural content-management. The COVID-19 Awareness Certification was
embedded in this tool and assigned to every single employee in the organization
Yammer: a social networking tool for off-script updates and fast interaction, such as the
HSE Global Group, and many others at geography, Function, business and region level
PowerBI: a data visualization tool to provide users with relevant data dashboards, analytics
and insights, like all the COVID-19 Data Analytics Dashboards and the COVID-19 Power
App Usage Dashboard
PowerAutomate: a digital automation tool to guarantee seamless interaction between
different platforms like social network, online-forms, email, data-visualization
Sharepoint: a centralized cloud-based site for the management of crisis and emergency
preparedness documents, guidelines and processes, such as the in the COVID-19 section
of the HSE Communications Toolkit
Teams: a single tool aimed to increase the work-from-home experience, maximizing
productivity between teams. This allows regular and crisis-oriented teams to handle large
quantities of information, notes, resources, links and others related to specific projects and
improve overall collaboration compared to previous meeting platforms, amongst many other
features.
Power Apps: the centralized platform to develop not only our company COVID-19
Schlumberger SAFE App, which is our global pandemic focused app, but also other crisis
management apps like the Incident Response TeamSpace App, for centralizing the
operating rhythm during the lifecycle of a crisis. Many other apps allow administrators to
push news to mobile devices, improve daily updates and check on employee’s status,
amongst many other functionalities.
The key advantage of leveraging a crisis response with a solid and resourceful digital basis
translates into reliable and sustained support, optimizing the engagement and the communication
efforts, despite the changes in the features of the crisis, allowing the daily operation and company
leaders to adapt to further logistics disruptions, government instructions, and to act diligently and
respond not only during the challenging times of a crisis evolving but also during the recovery
phase.
Innovative technology solutions to promote safe COVID-19 behaviors will be trialed and
implemented as they become available.
As part of our digital HSE strategy, a Power App (with record-breaking deployment rate) was
developed to centralize real time updates and disseminate information as the preferred channel of
communications for the company efforts and updates.
The app was developed to include the following information and updates:
Schlumberger COVID-19 risk level updates
World Health Organization video
Daily update
General Information on the outbreak
Useful links (WHO, CDC, links to documents)
Preventive measures
Global emergency contacts list
Glossary
Q&As
Self- assessment exposure forms
The content and frequency of update of the information and data in the COVID-19 Schlumberger
SAFE Power App is monitored and controlled by the SL HSE Function. The information within the
app is available in multiple languages.
Guidance materials have been developed with instructions to download the COVID-19
Schlumberger SAFE Power App to mobile devices, available from the COVID-19 section of the
HSE Communications Toolkit.
Digital and Online Training and Assessment
Consider digital and online training and assessment options, rather than face to face training.
GreenRoad driver performance can be used as an alternative to a face to face commentary drive
assessment as validation for low/ medium driving risk countries.
The internal communication strategy has been based in the following actions:
Use of centrally managed screensavers and Internal Communications Hub
Global digital signage (in every facility)
Awareness package released via the HSE Learning Management System
Mass communication (via email and social media)
Centralized communications toolkit
GeoMarkets are required to implement communication plans using the available Schlumberger
resources to improve information management and promote engagement. The Schlumberger
resources can be supplemented with applicable local health authority or health service provider
information and tools, as required. The frequency and intensity of communications shall be risk-
based.
The available set of email templates are available from the COVID-19 section of the HSE
Communications Toolkit.
The external communication strategy has been based in the following actions:
Interaction with stakeholders (contractors, national and international oil and gas
associations, local authorities)
Awareness outreach with employee’s spouses and children
Updates through international partners and travel agencies
Best practices shared across the industry (checklists, assessments, etc.)
Customer Communication
The public Schlumberger website slb.com has been used to provide approved external
communications in a specific COVID-19 page https://www.slb.com/who-we-are/hse/covid-19 this
link can be provided to customers and other interested parties requesting information on
Schlumberger’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Public statements on behalf of the company shall be approved by the SL CMT Communications
Coordinator and made by designated and approved company spokespersons.
Reduce Exposure
Our key efforts on reducing exposure have been focused on defining risk-based levels to enable
us to manage the related geographical risk and to facilitate effective communications and
management of crisis/emergency processes.
The risk-based controls to reduce the risk of exposure to the COVID-19 virus include:
Travel
Social distancing
Work practices
Quarantine and isolation
3.2.1 Travel
Schlumberger shall comply with international travel authority e.g. IATA and IMO etc. and national
government and local health authority bans on restrictions on domestic or international travel by
any mode.
Schlumberger will adopt the following approach, based on the Schlumberger defined country
COVID-19 exposure risk levels, the following global travel restrictions have been implemented.
DOMESTIC TRAVEL To Level 0 Country To Level 1 Country To Level 2 Country To Level 3 Country
From Level 0 Country
From Level 1 Country
From Level 2 Country
From Level 3 Country
INTERNATIONAL
TRAVEL To Level 0 Country To Level 1 Country To Level 2 Country To Level 3 Country
From Level 0 Country
From Level 1 Country
From Level 2 Country
From Level 3 Country
International Travel Restriction - All travel across the company is restricted to Business
Critical only, regardless of the risk level. An approved exemption in QUEST is required,
together with the traveler’s completed COVID-19 exposure self-assessment to help the
subject matter approver evaluate the related conditions. As an example of the approver
required levels:
o Direct manager
o Subject matter approval – GeoMarket HSE Manager, or designate
o GeoMarket Manager, or designate
Domestic Travel Restriction - All domestic travel is restricted to Business Critical only, for
those countries (also means States and Territories in relation to domestic travel) in
Schlumberger COVID-19 risk Levels 2 and 3. An Exemption must be in place, together
with the traveler’s completed COVID-19 exposure self-assessment to help the approver
evaluate the related conditions. As an example of the approver required levels:
o Direct manager
o Subject matter approval – GeoMarket HSE Manager, or designate
o Country Managing Director
Travel Restriction - All travel into and out of a Level 3 country (Territory or State in Australia,
Canada or USA). Any Exemption to this ban will have to be approved at the GeoMarket/
senior management level.
Note: For COVID-19 travel exemptions, the GeoMarket Manager may approve delegates, as
defined in the lists of authorized travel approvers, maintained and communicated by the
GeoMarkets.
All travel exemptions shall be approved in QUEST, in accordance with the Management of Change
and Exemption Standard (SLB-QHSE-S-010) process.
Any travel bans put in place by governments for lock-down areas, specific travel routes, border
closures, specified nationality restrictions must be complied with by Schlumberger.
Commuting Transport
If working remotely e.g. from home is not possible or practical, if distances are not too far, consider
walking or cycling to work. If commuting is necessary, choose commuting transport to avoid public
crowds, particularly avoid peak travel times and the metro where ventilation is not as effective. AS
much as possible methods should be considered:
Personal car or shared personal car
Company provided transport e.g. commuter bus – temperature screening may be required
before entering the bus, buses and company provided transport should be cleaned and
disinfected in accordance with the cleaning and disinfection procedure, as required
Use an approved taxi service
If you have difficulty in getting to work, contact your line manager for advice
In a vehicle, open windows to promote air flow, if using heating or air conditioning in the vehicle,
set the airflow to fresh air.
Personal Travel
Act responsibly during personal travel. Any personal travel to a high risk country, include any
vacation/ personal travel when conducting your exposure self-assessment. The reason for having
been in a high exposure risk country does not matter, it is the potential for exposure that will
determine the need for self-quarantine.
3.2.2 Social Distancing and Limiting Contact with Potentially Contaminated Surfaces
Reducing exposure to COVID-19 by social distancing, limiting person to person contact and
avoiding contact with frequently touched and potentially contaminated surfaces can be used to
delay the spread of the virus. It is strongly recommended that personnel follow these restrictions in
their personal time as well as during working hours.
These controls are triggered by the Schlumberger country COVID-19 exposure risk level:
Avoid public gatherings, compliance with local health authority requirements and national
restrictions on public gatherings etc. Limits may be set by local authorities for indoor and/
or outdoor events
Limit attendance at non-business critical events e.g. conferences, training etc. even in Level
0 countries, as third party attendees may have travelled from or had exposure to people
who have been in level 3 countries
Arrange for videoconferencing and the opportunity for remote working, distance learning,
flexible working hours
o Use personal headsets for online conference calls rather than gathering around a
speaker phone
Limit face to face meetings and reduce to the minimum the number of attendees
o Promote the use of Skype, Microsoft teams to conduct virtual meetings
Arrange for videoconferencing and the opportunity for remote working, distance learning,
flexible working hours
Use Skype, Microsoft Teams to conduct virtual meetings whenever possible
o If face to face meetings cannot be avoided, then minimize the number of
attendees to essential personnel only
Avoid shaking hands or other forms of person to person contact in the workplace
When in rooms with other people, follow the “2 meter rule” by maintaining a 2 meter/ 6 ft
distance between people:
o Position chairs facing the same direction this way in meeting rooms, canteens,
reception areas etc.
o Also apply this rule to open plan work areas and shared offices
Stagger working hours at large occupancy offices/ hubs, to avoid all personnel arriving and/
or leaving at the same times, particularly where entry to the location involves temperature
screening and the potential for people to have to queue
Use stickers rather than visitor badges or provide wipes to disinfect the badges
Consider alternative administrative methods for locations and activities rather than a hard
copy visitor book to be signed with a shared pen or hard copy meeting/ training attendance
sheets to be signed
Avoid skin contact with commonly touched surfaces and disinfect shared items with a
hygiene wipe after use:
o Shared work items such as pens, scissors, staplers, printers, copiers, headsets,
phones etc.
o Elevator buttons, handrails, door handles, light switches, remote control pads etc.
o Avoid “hot desks”, if conference rooms and shared desks are used, use disinfectant
wipes on surfaces before and after use
Encourage good ventilation in buildings and check ventilation in internal rooms where
windows can't be opened
Do not share personal protective equipment with others or reuse disposable items e.g. ear
plugs, disposable gloves, single use masks, shoe covers, disposable coveralls
Avoid using public transport if possible:
o Minimize travel at busy times
o Cycle or walk to work
Go to the gym at a quiet time when fewer people are there and disinfect equipment with a
hygiene wipe, consider going outside for a walk or runs or cycle in areas where there may
not be many people
Avoid gatherings or queuing in public places e.g. shops, ticket machines
Schedule use of those common areas of buildings or locations when fewer people are
around
Stay at home as much as possible
Personal Vulnerability
Increase vigilance in social distancing and limiting contact protection controls when people may be
more vulnerable to developing more serious effects from COVID-19 infection, including the elderly
and those with underlying health conditions.
Underlying medical conditions that may increase the risk of serious COVID-19 for individuals of
any age, these conditions include:
Blood disorders (e.g., sickle cell disease or on blood thinners)
Chronic kidney disease as defined by your doctor. Patient has been told to avoid or reduce
the dose of medications because kidney disease, or is under treatment for kidney disease,
including receiving dialysis
Chronic liver disease as defined by your doctor. (e.g., cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis) Patient
has been told to avoid or reduce the dose of medications because liver disease or is under
treatment for liver disease.
Compromised immune system (immunosuppression) (e.g., seeing a doctor for cancer
and treatment such as chemotherapy or radiation, received an organ or bone marrow
transplant, taking high doses of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressant medications,
HIV or AIDS)
Current or recent pregnancy in the last two weeks
Endocrine disorders (e.g., diabetes mellitus)
Metabolic disorders (such as inherited metabolic disorders and mitochondrial disorders)
Heart disease (such as congenital heart disease, congestive heart failure and coronary
artery disease)
Lung disease including asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (chronic
bronchitis or emphysema) or other chronic conditions associated with impaired lung
function or that require home oxygen
Neurological and neurologic and neurodevelopment conditions [including disorders of
the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerve, and muscle such as cerebral palsy, epilepsy
(seizure disorders), stroke, intellectual disability, moderate to severe developmental delay,
muscular dystrophy, or spinal cord injury].
Training
Any person scheduled to attend or teach face to face training shall conducted an exposure self-
assessment (including any external instructors and commentary driver assessors) and not attend
should any of the exposure question responses be yes. Face to face training should not be
conducted in the following situations:
Schlumberger COVID-19 Level 3 countries
At a location where there has been a recent suspected or positive case
Digital and online training and assessment alternatives shall be used to reduce exposure, where
possible e.g. using GreenRoad driver performance as an alternative to a scheduled commentary
drive assessment.
Operational personnel need to check with their customers for mandated face to face training
requirements and how these will be managed e.g. BOSIET and HUET certifications for offshore
workers. Industry association guidance will be provided for commonly required face to face training
certifications.
In preparation to work from home due to an escalation of a COVID-19 situation, it is important that
you validate your readiness.
You are available via Skype and your phone number in LDAP is correct
If you are not online on Skype, you are reachable via phone call or SMS and you respond
in a timely manner
If you have planned meetings on the target date, you adjust them ahead of schedule to
support remote working
If you have planned out of office activities, your team and manager should be aware of this
When wearing disposable or rubber gloves, wash hands with soap before taking the gloves off, this
will reduce the potential for contamination when removing them. Hands can also be washed
regularly with soap and water while wearing gloves to reduce accidental contamination e.g. by
touching face. Always wash hands thoroughly with soap and water after removing protective
gloves, hand sanitizer can be used as an alternative if running water is not available.
If the mask is used by a person in quarantine, waste materials should be disinfected first and can
be treated as normal waste.
For waste materials which have been in close contact with a person in isolation, these need to be
treated as clinical waste, collected in clearly marked disposal bags and disposed of by approved
waste management provider.
Self-quarantine and isolation risk-based controls are triggered by any of the following:
Recent travel from a Schlumberger defined COVID-19 Level 3 country
Exposure self-assessment
Development of COVID-19 like symptoms
Note: People without symptoms pose little or no risk of transmission, COVID-19 may develop
gradually with non-specific symptoms. The control measures to be taken depend on the probability
of being infected (close contact or low risk contact). People with symptoms pose a high risk of
infecting others.
Schlumberger self-quarantine guidance has provided for personnel and managers in the COVID-
19 section of the HSE Communications Toolkit.
Quarantine means the temporary restriction of movement / social interaction for people who have
been exposed to an infectious agent but who have not yet developed a clinical disease. This can
apply to individuals, for example, in their own home (home quarantine) or to larger groups in an
apartment block, camp, vessel, village or city.
Isolation is most often used as a term when a person with a confirmed infection is isolated in their
own room e.g. in a hospital, home or other forms of accommodation e.g. a hotel or offshore
installation, man camp or crew camp.
The same principles for quarantine and isolation apply when these controls are introduced outside
of the home.
Quarantine
Quarantine, generally at home, applies for the following groups and members of their household:
Close contacts of confirmed cases of COVID-19
People who have been in countries covered by the quarantine decision
People who are in quarantine and who develop symptoms of respiratory infection should be in
home isolation until they are healthy, and for a minimum of 14 days after quarantine began.
People in home quarantine may leave their home, but should avoid close contact with others.
This means:
Do not go to work, children who have been in close contact should not go to school
Avoid travelling and do not use public transport
Avoid places where you can come into contact with others
Anyone who needs to visit people in home quarantine should follow basic infection control
measures and do not need extra protection as long as nobody else in the household has
symptoms.
Home quarantine is intended for people without symptoms of COVID-19 but who have been in
close contact with a confirmed case or have been in countries covered by the quarantine decision
during the last 14 days.
Be alert for symptoms such as cough, sore throat, breathing difficulties or fever. If you are a close
contact of a person with confirmed COVID-19 and develop symptoms, contact local health
authorities.
Isolation
If a person is sick, follow the advice for isolation. This means staying at home (or equivalent “home
away from home”). Anyone who visits the isolated person (or any other member of the household
or person that has been in close contact) must follow recommended infection control measures,
including the use of personal protective equipment.
Do not leave the contained area where you are isolated, obtain help to obtain any necessary
provisions. Depending on the situation, this could be a neighbor or other Schlumberger personnel
if in company provided accommodation e.g. “home away from home”.
Contact your direct manager and the local health authorities, preferably by phone, if your condition
deteriorates e.g. difficulty breathing.
If you need to see a doctor or healthcare provider, contact them and tell them that you have, or are
being assessed for, COVID-19. This will help the healthcare service to take measures to prevent
others from being infected. Do not use public transport or taxis. Inform the healthcare service if you
do not have access to your own vehicle. If you are not isolated in a “home away from home” contact
your direct manager and request assistance from the HR Function.
Limit close contact with other people in your home (or “home away from home”). If possible, stay
and sleep in a separate room to others. If several bathrooms and toilets and available, try to use a
separate bathroom and toilet. If you only have one, make sure that you only use your own towel.
Cover your mouth and nose with a paper tissue while coughing/ sneezing, or cough/ sneeze into
your elbow. Throw away used paper towels immediately, and then wash your hands.
Wash your hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. You can also use an alcohol-
based hand disinfectant containing 70 per cent alcohol if soap and water are not readily available.
Laundry and cleaning. Place used textiles and bedding directly in the washing machine, if possible
(a fabric laundry bag can be filled and placed directly into the washing machine) and wash at a
minimum of 60 ⁰C using normal laundry detergent.
Clean surfaces such as bathroom sinks, toilets, door handles and hard surfaces e.g. counter tops
frequently. Ordinary cleaning products are sufficient.
If someone you live with is ill with COVID-19, you are considered to be a close contact and you
should be in quarantine. Close contacts do not need to use protective equipment in the home but
you should try to limit close contact with the isolated person.
You will be in quarantine until the isolation of the infected person ends, and minimum of 14 days
after quarantine started. Do not go to work (or children go to school) and avoid public areas. Do
not use public transport or taxis and avoid places where you can easily come into contact with
others. Monitor your own health on a daily basis for signs of respiratory infection such as fever and
cough. Contact local health services by telephone if you develop symptoms.
Where possible, there should be as few people in the house (or accommodation) as necessary.
Limit social contact and avoid visitors.
You can help by observing the symptoms of the person infected or suspected of being infected with
COVID-19. Contact the relevant health services if their condition worsens and inform them that the
person has, is being assessed for, or is likely to have COVID-19. This will help healthcare
professionals to suggest the appropriate treatment and take measures to prevent others from being
infected.
Good hand hygiene with frequent hand washing with soap and water is recommended, especially
after toilet visits, before cooking and before meals. Wash or disinfect your hands:
When you leave the room where the isolated person is staying
Before leaving the house
After contact with the isolated person or any equipment they have used, such as bedding,
cutlery etc.
Caring for Yourself at Home
2. Monitor your symptoms carefully. If your symptoms get worse, call your healthcare provider
immediately.
3. Get rest and stay hydrated
4. If you have a medical appointment, call the healthcare provider ahead of time and tell them
that you have or may have COVID-19
5. For medical emergencies, call your local health authorities and notify them that you have or
may have COVID-19
6. Cover your cough and sneezes
7. Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds or clean your hands
with an alcohol-based hand sanitizer that contains at least 60% alcohol
8. As much as possible, stay in a specific room and away from other people in your home.
Also, you should use a separate bathroom, if available. If you need to be around other
people in or outside of the home, wear a facemask/ surgical mask.
9. Avoid sharing personal items with other people in your household, like dishes, towels, and
bedding
10. Clean all surfaces that are touched often, like counters, tabletops, and doorknobs. Use
household cleaning sprays or wipes according to the label instructions.
Suitable environmental infection controls, such as adequate air ventilation, filtration systems
and waste-management protocols
Maintenance of social distancing (more than 1 meter) of the persons quarantined
Accommodation with an appropriate level of comfort, including:
o Food, water and hygiene provisions
o Protection for baggage and other possessions
o Appropriate medical treatment for existing condition, symptoms
o Communication in a language that they can understand explaining: their rights;
provisions that will be made available to them; how long they will need to stay; what
will happen if they get sick; contact information of their local embassy or consular
support
Assistance for quarantined travelers, isolated or subject to medical examinations or other
procedures:
o Assistance with communication with family members outside the quarantine facility
o If possible, access to the internet, news and entertainment
o Psychosocial support; and
o Special considerations for high vulnerability people e.g. age, pre-existing conditions
due to their increased risk for severe COVID-19 symptoms
Regardless of the setting, an assessment must ensure that the appropriate conditions for safe and
effective quarantine are being met. Possible quarantine settings are hotels, camps, other facilities
catering to groups, or the home.
For personnel at worksite accommodation (rig-site accommodation, vessel, camp, staff house)
requiring to be quarantine or isolation, the following controls are required:
During the quarantine period, do not allow the person to go out, except those having
symptoms to see a health care provider
Visits are not allowed
The quarantine area shall be as independent as possible (single room for each person)
access to any common area shall be minimized to reduce exposure
During the quarantine period, the company is responsible for providing meals and daily
necessities, to be delivered without contact
Strengthen ventilation in the quarantine area, keep the room clean, disinfect the room
regularly, keep the room door closed and open a window for ventilation before opening the
door to leave the room
During quarantine period, each person should be provided at least 15 surgical/ face masks,
a thermometer, a bottle of disinfectant, a bottle of hand sanitizer and a box of disposable
ethyl alcohol cotton pads
Monitor temperature at least twice a day, and keep personal records for review by medical
personnel
In case of fever, fatigue, dry cough, dyspnea or other COVID-19 symptoms, contact person
in charge to arrange for timely medical treatment
A mask does not need to be worn inside the quarantine/ isolation room. If there is a need
to leave the room, put on the mask first, wash/ disinfect hands before leaving and when
coming back to the room.
The quarantined/ isolated person shall eat and drink alone in their room, disposable cutlery
and tableware is recommended
If possible, provide a dedicated toilet/ washing facilities, always provide dedicated towels
and soap. If sharing of a bathroom/ toilet is necessary, it must be ventilated and disinfected
after each use (including door handles, lock, sink/ basin, taps/ faucets, counter tops etc.).
Person in charge shall maintain contact with the quarantined/ isolated person on a daily
basis by means of video-call, telephone, etc., and promptly report any concerns to HSE. By
using the Manager Daily Call Tracking Sheet (available from the in the COVID-19 section
of the HSE Communications Toolkit)
Other people living in the same accommodation can communicate by phone or internet e.g.
video call
After quarantine for 14 days, if the person’s temperature is normal and they have no
symptoms, the quarantine can be removed after authorization from the person in charge
and recommendation from heath care specialists, with confirmation from local authorities,
as required
Follow local health authority requirements for a person in isolation with a positive case of
COVID-19, ensure a medical ERP is in place and all provisions for the transportation of an
infected person are in place (including any paperwork, medications, security requirements
etc.) should the person require to be taken to a hospital for additional medical care.
Telemedicine
Telemedicine services can be used to provide advice to personnel who think they may be infected
with COVID-19.
Telemedicine services can also provide medical advice and assistance for other illness and injury
treatment, to avoid people having to go to a hospital or other health care service provider in person,
which can reduce exposure patients with COVID-19.
The following flowchart is available to download from the in the COVID-19 section of the HSE
Communications Toolkit.
Investigation of suspected and/ or confirmed COVID-19 cases is conducted to identify close contact
exposures, as defined below.
The trigger for this control is either a notified positive case or the location exposure level for positive
case or a suspected case in the workplace, which may be indicated by temperature screening
results.
If a person tests positive result for COVID-19, contact tracing is conducted to identify potentially
infected people and prevent the virus spreading further. As part of this process, person involved is
contacted to identify anyone who might have had close contact with them during the time period
that they may have been infectious.
If there are people who are considered as having had close contact, particularly those at higher
risk, contact is made with these personnel to take appropriate action, which may involve self-
quarantine for 14 days and health monitoring for symptom progression, as per the flowchart shown
below.
Contact tracing is a very effective and informative method for delaying the spread of the virus. In
the event of high transmission rate in a Schlumberger COVID-19 Level 3 country, where there may
be a high potential of general community transfer of infection, or in the event of a large number of
cases in a location, contact tracing may be determined to be an ineffective use of resources, this
decision will be made on a case to case basis.
Note: In countries where testing for all suspected cases is not being undertaken, the decision to
conduct contact tracing will be made on a case to case basis and may be based on temperature
screening results, as no confirmation of positive cases is possible, self-quarantine based on
symptoms may still be required.
Note on Confidentiality: While conducting tracing minimize disclosure of the affected employees’
names. Avoid large group emails, postings, or creating open access spreadsheets or Team sites
identifying employees with elevated temperature, symptoms or positive Covid-19 result. Ensure
that records and sharing of names between those conducting the tracing are secure and access
controlled.
The following flowchart is available to download from the in the COVID-19 section of the HSE
Communications Toolkit.
Close Contact
Close contact is defined as being within approximately 6 feet (2 meters) of a person confirmed as
having a positive case of COVID-19, from 48 hours before the symptoms show up as well as after
symptoms are present. Close contact can occur while:
Caring for, living with, visiting, or sharing a health care waiting area or room
or
Having direct contact with infectious secretions of a COVID-19 positive case e.g. being
coughed on, etc.
People having had close contact with positive COVID-19 case, shall be traced during the
investigation of each case by the location Emergency Management Team. Anyone who has had
close contact with a positive case should be contacted and recommended to:
Self-quarantine for a period of two weeks, following the detailed quarantine guidelines
Monitor their body temperature during the self-quarantine period
Contact the local authorities if their symptoms develop (cough, fever and/or breathing
difficulties) to disclose their close contact and the potential for their contamination from
contact with a confirmed COVID-19 symptomatic or asymptomatic case.
Reminded to keep the identity of the positive case confidential unless part of the tracing
exercise.
3.3.2 Restriction of Access to Company Locations
The location exposure level (suspected or positive case e.g. indicated by temperature screening)
may require the closure or restrictions on access to a location e.g. to vulnerable personnel who are
are at higher risk. This decision for location closure e.g. for cleaning and disinfection will be taken
on a case by case basis.
The following guidance applies:
A backup method using a normal digital thermometer/ meter or mercury thermometer can be
used to take an underarm temperature. This method is not preferred as it does easily enable a
safe distance to be maintained.
Visitor questionnaire
Schlumberger requires all visitors to complete a specific visitor exposure self-assessment
questionnaire prior to being authorized access a Schlumberger location. The questionnaire is
available from the COVID-19 section of the
HSE Communications Toolkit.
.
Note: The information provided in the questionnaire is classified “personal data confidential” and
will be treated as such.
3.3.3 Suspected-Positive Case Management
The flowchart below provides information on the handling of a suspected positive COVID-19 case.
The following flowchart is available to download from the in the COVID-19 section of the HSE
Communications Toolkit.
Refer to the procedure for disinfection and deep cleaning of company locations (SLB-HSE-S026-
P002) and the flowchart, which is available to download from the in the COVID-19 section of the
HSE Communications Toolkit.
Understanding the need for standardized requirements across the different geographies and in
order to provide consistent support, Schlumberger has released the following documentation:
Standard Emergency Response Plan
Standard Incident Response TeamSpace on the Schlumberger intranet to manage the
crisis
Self-assessment forms and visitor questionnaires
Standard global guidelines for:
o 14-days self-quarantine guideline for Employees
o 14-days self-quarantine guideline for Managers
o Temperature screening
o Quarantine rooms
o Suspected-positive cases management
o PPE and emergency response kit equipment
o Cleaning and disinfecting procedures
o Key facilities with large headcounts (Hubs, Training Centers)
3.4.1 SL Crisis Management Team
SL CMT will provide co-ordination for multiple GeoMarket involvement, with sharing of lessons
learned and best practices communicated to all GeoMarkets. Regular updates will be provided to
all GeoMarket CMTs throughout the lifecycle of the pandemic. The frequency and content of the
updates shall be risk based.
3.4.2 GeoMarket Crisis Management Team
GeoMarket Crisis Management Team preparedness planning is required, in accordance with the
requirements of the Schlumberger Emergency Response, Crisis Management and Business
Continuity Standard (SLB-QHSE_S004)
Example COVID-19 Holding Statements
Examples of COVID-19 external communications approved holding statement are available in
Appendix D. As each case may require a specific holding statement, ensure the GM CMT and SL
Communications Coordinator’s approval of any statement made publically.
A template for a Country COVID-19 Emergency Management Plan has been provided in the
COVID-19 section of the HSE Communications Toolkit. For the purposes of this Standard, a
Country may also be a Sub-GeoMarket, State or Territory, as appropriate for the scope of the ERP.
Stakeholder Mapping
Generic stakeholder mapping has been conducted and included in the Location COVID-19
Emergency Response Plan templates, which are available to download from the in the COVID-19
section of the HSE Communications Toolkit.
When developing their specific response plans, locations can add additional stakeholders, as
required, examples are provided for:
Office/Hubs
Manufacturing Centers
Field Locations
The COVID-19 Location Emergency Response Plan (MERP) should be risk and scenario based
and needs to be kept up to date to take into account the progressive spread of COVID-19 and the
subsequent decline in new cases. The plan should include at a minimum:
Objective
Response Team information
Responsibilities
Preventive controls and best practices, which may include:
o Temperature screening,
o Recommended hygiene practices and resources
o Social distancing protocols, work related and recommendations for personal time
o Management of common building area, catering services and food preparation areas
Travel
Quarantine and response to suspected and/ or confirmed cases
Access controls for the location, including employees, contractors and visitors
External events and mass gathering guidance
COVID-19 emergency response kit
Cleaning practices
Communication
Appendices with relevant flowcharts and additional information
Example COVID-19 Location ERPs are provided in the COVID-19 section of the HSE
Communications Toolkit.
In addition, for remote operational areas and locations which do not benefit from comprehensive
national or local authority healthcare provisions, the following information should be considered for
inclusion in the Location COVID-19 ERP:
Identify the designated health care provider(s) involved in the plan, together with their
capabilities and limitations (these providers could be under the direct control of the company
or a third party)
Determine the likely evacuation route(s) and means of transport from the incident location
to the place(s) of medical care. Particular attention is required regarding transportation
limitations e.g. distances, mode of transport, weather limitations, etc. and consideration
should be given to requirements for local authority/ government authorization prior to
evacuation out of the country.
Isolation and quarantine provisions for medical evacuation and receiving at the health care
facility.
Set up reliable means of communication in order to liaise with company approved Health
Care Facility, ambulance services and eventual medical assistance companies
Include contact details for key personnel.
Include contact information for all individuals who are covered by the MERP, such persons
should be advised that they must have a valid passport and appropriate visa in case
evacuation out of the country is required.
Include the MERP evacuation form which shall be systematically completed by the Health
Care Specialist (HCS) – Medical Professional managing the Clinic (Type A, B or C Field
Clinic) and which shall accompany the emergency patient, with a copy retained on site by
the HCS.
A flowchart for an example generic Medical ERP is shown in Figure 4 of the Health Management
B.O.O.K. (SLB-HSE-M006).
It is important for locations in currently unaffected countries to conduct drills to check their
preparedness, including a Travel Tracker mass communication message test.
The results of drills shall be reviewed and the plan revised as necessary. The extent of resource
deployment during drills should be predetermined by the relevant EMT.
This shall include scenario planning, as well as simulated events addressing multiple suspected
and/ or positive cases, followed by a thorough debriefing, to enable improvements to be made, as
necessary.
Alternatively, Schlumberger may include contractors in its own Location COVID-19 ERP but this
must be subject to contractual terms and conditions, which are formally agreed between all relevant
parties.
In either case, it is highly recommended that the contractor company’s local and international
employees have the necessary travel documents (e.g. up to date passport) and are insured for
hospitalization and medical evacuation, with provision for evacuation and treatment outside of the
country of work.
Ensure national border closures, local lock-down areas and nationality immigration restrictions as
well as customer requirements for quarantine of travelers is taken into consideration when planning
rotation schedules and personnel assignments.
Schlumberger personnel permanently based in, temporarily working in or visiting customer offices
shall follow the Schlumberger requirements for COVID-19 as a minimum, and comply with
customer specific protocols, should these be more stringent.
Ensure BCPs include a business impact assessment related to international rotators including any
specific controls and monitoring required, particularly when involving countries where national
border closures, nationality immigration restrictions and government enforced lock-down areas are
in place and/ or proposed.
The business continuity planning and implementation risk-based controls are triggered by country
exposure risk level, these include:
Section 4.0
This section expands on the “Social Distancing and Limiting Contact with Potentially Contaminated
Surfaces” controls described in Section 3.2.2 and applies them specifically to the field environment.
The Product Line Specific COVID-19 Field Controls are divided into 2 parts. The controls listed in
the first part are common to all Product Lines (PL) while the second part provides Product Line
specific controls.
To obtain the full complement of controls a PL shall combine the common controls listed in the first
part with their PL specific controls listed in the second part. When no PL specific controls are
provided in part 2 then only the common controls apply for that PL.
Section 4.0
Legal Controls
5 Legal Controls
Many countries are issuing special announcements and requirements during the Covid-19
pandemic. With these ever-changing local requirements, it is important to involve the legal counsel
that supports the GM, country or location in the customization of the GM CMT, County CMP and
Location ERPs.
Data Privacy
As new protocols for thermal scanning or collection of health data are developed in locations,
please send them to dataprivacy@slb.com for review by the Data Privacy & Protection (DPP) team.

Term Definition
Activity Any part of a job-specific task or process, associated with a
Schlumberger managed and controlled service or product.
ALARP – As Low as To reduce a risk to a level which is “as low as reasonably practicable”
Reasonably Practicable involves balancing reduction in risk against the time, difficulty and cost
of achieving it.
Experiencing breathing difficulty describes discomfort when breathing
Breathing Difficulties
and feeling as if you can’t draw a complete breath.
Cleaning The removal of dirt and impurities, including germs, from surfaces.
Cleaning alone does not kill germs. But by removing the germs, it
decreases their number and therefore any risk of spreading infection.
Disinfecting Using chemicals to kill germs on surfaces. This process does not
necessarily clean dirty surfaces or remove germs. But killing germs
remaining on a surface after cleaning further reduces any risk of
spreading infection.
Exposure The amount of the hazard to which a person is subjected (dose). This
is a combination of magnitude, frequency and duration.
Hazard Analysis and A simple, standardized form that captures the Hazard Analysis and
Risk Control (HARC) Risk Control process.
Record
Health hazard The potential to cause harm to health. Health hazards are also known
as “hazardous agents”. Health hazards may be physical, chemical,
biological, ergonomic or psychological in nature.
Health risk The likelihood that a health hazard will cause harm in the actual
circumstances of exposure.
Home Country Mobile Individuals, who by nature of their business assignment or travel have
(HCM) the potential to spend significant amount of time outside of their
country of permanent residence.
Home Country Resident Individuals who are assigned to work in their home country.
(HCR)
Incident Any discrete occurrence that has potential for a single loss.
The incubation period is the time before the symptoms of a viral
Incubation Period
infection appear. Whether or not an infected person is contagious (i.e.
is shedding virus) during the incubation period depends on the virus.
Isolation Quarantine is intended for people with symptoms or a positive case of
COVID-19.
Likelihood How likely it is that a particular ill-effect will occur, based on past
experience.
Medical evacuation It is the transfer of a life threatening medical case from one
(Internal or In-country) geographical location within a country to a medical facility within the
same country in order to obtain adapted and/or better quality medical
or surgical care to save the patient's life.
Depending on the severity of the medical problem and the
transportation available this internal medical evacuation may be
performed by road or air.
Mitigation Measure(s) Any Risk Control measure(s) that reduce(s) the Severity of, or allows
recovery from, the consequences of an incident.
Non-Schlumberger All offices, bases, vessels, rigs and rig-less crew temporary camps,
Controlled Site and permanent camps, not owned by Schlumberger, leased or rented.
Occupational Injury Any injury such as cut, fracture, sprain, amputation, etc. which results
from a work-related activity or from an exposure involving a single
incident in the work environment, such as deafness from explosion,
one-time chemical exposure, back disorder from a slip/ trip, insect or
snake bite.
Occupational Illness Any abnormal condition or disorder, other than one resulting from an
occupational injury, caused by exposure to environmental factors
associated with employment. Occupational illness may be caused by
inhalation, absorption, ingestion of, or direct contact with the hazard,
as well as exposure to physical and psychological hazards. It will
generally result from prolonged or repeated exposure.
Pneumonia is an infection that inflames one or both lungs. The lungs
Pneumonia
may fill with fluid or pus (purulent material), causing cough with phlegm
or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. A variety of organisms,
including bacteria, viruses and fungi, can cause pneumonia.

Risk Control measures.
Prevention Measure(s) Any Risk Control measure(s) that reduce(s) the Likelihood of an
incident occurring.
Residual Risk Risk Level (as defined on the Risk Matrix) after the implementation of
Risk Control measures.
Risk Control Measure(s) Any Prevention and/or Mitigation Measure(s) applied in order to reach
a Residual Risk which is at least ALARP.
Severity The degree to which an agent hazardous to health can cause harm.
Surgical face masks These mainly protect from exhaled droplets. If marked ‘IIR’ (surgical
masks Type IIR), they are also splash-resistant and protect the
wearer's mucosae and skin from fluid splashes. Surgical masks don’t
require fit testing.
