Health & Safety Policy Statements

Objectives
The Company’s key objective is the prevention of all accidents, injuries and material losses. Great importance is therefore placed on maintaining the health, safety and welfare of employees. In addition, the Company wishes to avoid harm to any other persons with whom employees may have association in connection with its activities, and to avoid damage to their property.

Responsibility for Compliance
The Chief Executive Officer accepts overall responsibility for ensuring that all health and safety matters are efficiently promoted, implemented and managed. He delegates this responsibility via the Executive Committee to Company Managers and their department heads, Project Managers, Party Chiefs and supervisors, all of whom who are to ensure that all activities for which they are responsible are carried out in accordance with statutory requirements, first class working practices, and Company instructions.

Individual Responsibility
Employees and contractors at all levels are required to cooperate in implementing the requirements of all health and safety laws, recognized safe practices, and Company work instructions. They are to refrain from any action or omission or anything that constitutes a danger to any person and are to be alert to such dangers, advising the Company of situations or practices which may endanger any persons or property.

Implementation
To implement the Policy, each Company of the Tesla Offshore will:

• Maintain a Safety Management System (SMS), which describes how all health and safety matters are to be organized, planned, communicated, managed, documented, audited, reviewed and improved.
• Comply with all laws, regulations and standards which affect Company and employee conduct.
• Ensure that all work places are assessed, suitably equipped, and as free as is reasonably practicable from recognized hazards which may have the potential to cause death, injury, illness or material loss.
• Allocate resources and assign responsibilities to meet their objectives.
• Recognize and resolve any conflict between health and safety factors and commercial factors, to the extent that work will not proceed if safe conditions cannot be assured.
• Encourage employees to improve health and safety awareness in their own sphere of activity, to prevent injury to themselves and to other people and to report accidents and hazards to their superiors without delay.
• Hold all supervisory personnel responsible for developing and maintaining safety consciousness among their staff, and for assessing and satisfying their training needs.
• Provide employees and contract staff with suitable safety equipment where appropriate.
