 REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules

1 Purpose
The purpose of this management standard is to define the REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules that shall
be adhered to, ensuring that we work safely, help prevent injury and loss of life, and work to one
standard, at all times.

2 Scope
This document is applicable to all Stork businesses globally.
It also applies to those companies/joint ventures who perform activities for, or on behalf of, Stork or are
working on Stork or Client premises/locations.

3 Minimum requirements
The REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules are mandatory for all employees, working for Stork directly or
as a subcontractor or on behalf of Stork and shall be implemented at every Stork or Client premise or
location and in conjunction with other local rules implemented on any site.
The objective of the REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules is to create a common safety culture across
Stork and prevent serious injury or fatality, independent of the business or location we work in, or the
type of activities we perform.
The objective of the REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules is to keep people safe, create a common
safety culture across Stork to prevent serious injury or fatality, independent of the business or location
we work in, or the type of activities we perform.
The REACH Beyond Zero Life Saving Rules combine other rules used in the industries that we operate in
and align with the Fluor Life Critical to reduce the chance of serious incidents occurring while carrying
out our activities.
Additional local rules may be in place according to local requirements.
Employees shall ensure they are aware of the rules applicable to the location they are visiting.
Ignoring these rules will lead to the immediate application of the Just Culture process (MS-03-06).
It is mandatory for personnel responsible for HSE to review, implement, administer and oversee the
procedures implemented under their control, including all rules and regulations enforced locally.

This topic includes Work resulting in potential uncontrolled release of energy or product from equipment,
unit operations or process lines being worked on and LOTO breaches related to the isolation of hazardous
energy (include electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, chemical, radiation, and thermal energies,
as well as various forms of potential (stored) energy, such as in springs, compressed gases, or suspended
objects) and ensures the opening of lines/equipment are performed in a safe and controlled manner.
Work on energised systems or equipment is prohibited except in circumstances where such work must be
