1.0 Introduction

It is the policy of PMS to protect its employees, and others involved in, or affected by its
activities from all forms of harm.
The PMS H.S.E. Department has a structured Health, Safety and Environment (HS&E)
Induction programme to ensure personnel can work with minimal risk to the health and
safety of themselves and others.
Induction programmes provide a good opportunity to demonstrate an Organisation's
commitment to Health, Safety and Environmental Protection.
Therefore, it is mandatory that, all personnel, PMS, clients and contractors’ employees,
visiting or working on its Marine Units, be given an HSE Induction. The Induction is to
ensure that all personnel are aware of the hazards that may be encountered and the control
measures in place to reduce the risks.
In addition to an Induction, new recruits shall be given additional training such as: PPE
Compliance, Permit to Work, Risk Management, Survival, Fire Fighting, Incident & Near
Miss reporting, First Aid etc, in accordance with PMS Policy.

2.0 Scope

This procedure applies to all PMS, Clients and Contractors’ employees working on or
visiting any of the PMS Marine Units.

3.0 Procedure

This procedure is established to formalise the process by which visitors, contractors or

newly recruited PMS personnel are introduced and kept aware of all or part of the
following:

* PMS Health, Safety and Environment Policy.

* PMS Health, Safety and Environmental Management System (HSEMS) with

emphasis on the shared responsibility approach.

* Availability of Emergency Response Procedures for all activities including the

Duty Manager & Incident management Procedure and Standby Roster.

* Participation in Drills & Exercises to comply with above procedures and to test
them.

* Sources of HS&E information and advice.

* The PMS medical facilities and MEDEVAC Procedures.

In this document, this process will be referred to as the Induction.

This procedure defines the recipients, induction modules, responsibilities, approach,

frequencies and evaluation of the induction process.
3.1 Recipients

Any person who is working in or visiting either the PMS Marine Units must receive
a HSE induction.
The details given to personnel in the HSE induction may vary, depending on the site
location, work activity and duration of work.
It is therefore necessary to categorise these persons as follows: -

Category 1:

New PMS, Clients & Contractor employees working on Marine Units.

Category 2:

Visitors or persons performing day visit to the PMS Marine Units either for business
purposes or for public relation purposes. This includes VIP's. If the visit is longer
than one day, visitors will be considered either category 1 or 2 persons.

Upon completion of the Induction the recipient will be issued with an ID card, either
temporary or personal, with a photo. The ID card should be carried out at all times on
Marine Units.

3.2 Induction Programme

The basic aim of an induction programme is to provide an understanding of the

nature of the potential hazards and risks, and what to do in the unlikely event that
they should occur. The Induction programme should provide comprehensive
information on the hazards and risks that may be encountered, and the procedures
and equipment provided which personnel will require to carry their duties in a safe
manner.

The induction programme should take into account the levels at which training
should be approached and the capabilities of the audience. Care should be taken not
to overload the individual with too much information.

The nature and depth of the induction course should be tailored to the recipients, as
per the categories in section 3.1.

The modules to be covered in the induction course for each category of recipient, as
well as the department responsible for developing the module package is shown in
table 1. The content of each induction modules detailed in Appendix A.

The briefing should take place upon arrival on the Marine Unit. NO-ONE
Will be allowed outside the accommodation areas until they have been briefed.
Visitors should not leave the accommodation unless they are accompanied.
Essential personnel must be reminded of their duties in the event of an emergency
Prior to commencing work.

 Designated personnel from the Operations Department will be responsible for
delivering induction training for category 2 recipients.
The Barge Captain or nominated personnel is responsible for delivering offshore

The responsibilities for specific management personnel are detailed below.

3.5.1 Health, Safety & Environment General Manager

- Reviewing and updating the Health, Safety & Environmental Induction

Procedure as well as the auditing of the induction process,

- Producing hand booklets containing useful HSE information.

3.5.2 Barge Captain

- Designating the competent persons to deliver induction for personnel

arriving on the Barge.

- Reviewing implementation.

3.6 Induction Refresher and Safety Training

Induction refresher programmes for personnel permanently or regularly assigned to an

installation should be held regularly, or when there are changes to the Marine Unit
procedures or systems.
If personnel have not returned to an Marine Unit for more than six months they should
attend a full induction programme, otherwise an induction refresher course should take
place every year.
For personnel working in the Admin. /Warehouse Buildings at Ma’adiya and Cairo
Office an induction refresher course should be given every 2 years.

Where the Marine Unit or facility have specialist escape devices, then permanent and
regularly assigned personnel should receive formal refresher training in their operation.
Such refresher training can be obtained by:

- Attending drills and exercises on the Marine Unit/Facility as per Drills & Exercises
Procedure

- Attending formally approved refresher course either in-house or at any approved

establishment.

In designing and conducting company approved, in-house refresher training,

consideration should be given to the training standards used in similar industrial sectors.
Video films or pictorial slides may be used as material aid to raise employee’s safety
awareness.
 New employees are more likely to be involved in an incident than their more
experienced colleagues, due to their lack of awareness and perception of potential
risks. Therefore new starters must be made aware, by their supervisors of the
company's rules and procedures, and the expected health and safety standards. On-
the-job training should ensure the continuity of the HS&E Induction of new
starters by constant supervision during the first few months.

All personnel working in a confined space should be given breathing apparatus training,
and be familiar with the various types of air monitoring equipment in use.

3.7 Approach/ Language

The induction approach should be clear and simple with enough supporting
documentation. The induction should be held in the language most appropriate to the
audience.

Hand booklets, in Arabic and English languages, containing useful information should be
handed out to the inductees.
