Health, Safety and Environmental

Policy

NATIONS PETROLEUM is dedicated to maintaining the environment in which it works and providing a safe and healthy workplace for employees and contractors through the active implementation of comprehensive policies and programs. Nations Petroleum defines safe operating procedures by utilizing industry-wide "best operating practices" that are designed to meet, or exceed, all appropriate legal requirements.

A high level of safety awareness is maintained by means of safety meetings, training, internal auditing, and general communications. All employees are actively obligated to participate in the conduct and management of safety through achieving defined objectives and standards, which are regularly reviewed and appraised. It is the responsibility of all line managers to ensure that employees and sub-contractors are aware of, and have access to copies of, all legislative requirements, company policies and procedures in addition to seeing that these are duly enforced. Line management ensures that individuals are provided with proper and appropriate training along with sufficient and suitable means in order to comply with these requirements.

All employees are required to become familiar with, adhere to and promote the company policies throughout all aspects of their duties. In addition, each individual shall have the opportunity to suggest changes and improvements by means of internal communications directly to a nominated company representative. Risks are minimized by investigating incidents to determine their root causes and to determine corrective actions, which shall prevent recurrence. These investigations and root causes are documented, circulated company-wide and followed up to ensure completion.
