affected by the Project to present both positive and negative feedbacks. These feedbacks can be
complaints, grievances and even doubts, questions or improvement recommendations.
The interaction mechanism must be anonymous, free, diverse and culturally appropriate for
those who wish to use it. This mechanism should guarantee that the feedback received will be
addressed by the appropriate persons, that it will be given timely follow- up and that any
employee raising a complaint will not be subject to any reprisal.
The Grievance Mechanism will also prevent the following latent risks that could arise during
the implementation of the Project:

GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
The present document or drawing is property of THE BAHRAIN PETROLEUM COMPANY B.S.C. (CLOSED) (BAPCO) and shall not, under any circumstances, be totally or partially, directly or indirectly, transferred, reproduced, copied, disclosed or used, without its prior written consent, for any purpose and in any way other
During the resolution of the complaint a follow up of the status shall be done and issued to the
interested parties.
Importance or criticality:
High (group complaints, or involving third parties): seek support from senior management
or third-party expert groups;
Medium (individual complaints, internal issues): seek internal and managerial support;
Low (lack of information, not relevant): review information before proceeding with its
resolution.
Response Time:
The grievances prioritized as “High” shall be resolved within a period not exceeding 20
working days from the date of registration of the grievance or complaint. If, for reasons
beyond the control of the Project, the grievance cannot be resolved within the established
period, the aggrieved party must be notified, and the response time will be restored to the
original time;
The grievances prioritized as “Medium” must be resolved within a period no longer than 15
working days from the date of registration of the grievance or complaint. If, for reasons
beyond the control of the Project, the grievance cannot be resolved within the established
period, the aggrieved party must be notified, and the response time will be restored to the
original time;
The grievances prioritized as “Low” should be resolved within a period of no more than 10
working days from the date of registration of the grievance or complaint. If, for reasons
beyond the control of the Project, the grievance cannot be resolved within the established
period, the aggrieved party must be notified, and the response time will be restored to the
original time.
No complaint and/or grievance can be restored more than 3 times. This means that, only for
reasons of force majeure, the maximum that a grievance can take to resolve is 60 business
days. This provision applies to the same complaint and/or grievance by the same person or
interest group. That is to say the resources of the Grievance Mechanism will not be
available to give attention to the same complaint instance for more than 3 times (it is
considered that 3 times it is an appropriate number to give opportunity for the same
complaint to be resolved). In case the complaint is very recurrent for the same person or
group of interests and a satisfactory solution is not found, the case will be reviewed
individually, in which case the ordinary resolution scheme may change.
Unilateral: direct resolution by the Social Assistant towards workers and / or contractors;
