Letter from the CEO
From land to sea, Frank’s International has hit the ground run-
ning as we embark on new projects all over the world in 2014.
From deepwater contracts in the Middle East to mudline recovery in Malaysia, Frank’s International has continued to build an
honest relationship with new and existing customers just like
my grandfather, Frank Mosing, in 1938.
Research and development is continually evolving in our engineering department
as new requests stream in from clients all over the world to meet their ever-changing
demands. All of this takes place in Frank’s hometown, Lafayette, Louisiana. Louisiana
became known for petroleum and natural gas in the 1940s and is now America’s thirdlargest producer of petroleum and the third-leading state in petroleum refining.
As we continue to grow as a company, Frank’s International now employs more than
4,000 individuals. Many employees work a majority of their working careers and even
end up retiring with Frank’s. That is a true testament to the kind of family atmosphere
that continues today.
N
ot all companies engage in community involvement, but it has always been our
second nature to give back to the community. I am proud to say that Frank’s International has continued to be involved in community service and organizations all over
the world.
K
eeping up with the Frank’s tradition of being “Best in Class” can only be attributed
to all our employees, customers and investors who continue to support the company
through the hard work and effort of keeping the Frank’s name true to our heritage and
all of our industry standards.
Safety, as always, is our number-one priority for every job we run, and we celebrate
these milestones by taking each step forward. Frank’s International is doing so by utilizing third-party safety organizations in conjunction with other compliance initiatives to
continuously improve safety practices.
As we begin our 76th year in business, I am eager to continue building upon the Frank’s
International legacy.
Sincerely,
Keith Mosing
Chairman & CEO

Frank’s Integrated Tong Cassette Systems
by Brian Begnaud and Mike Webre
RTS-H Cassette in MPT-200 Modular Roughneck
RTS-ST Cassette in ST-160 Modular Roughneck
F
rank’s International has developed a range of Integrated
RTS Tong Cassettes to interface with specific Iron Roughnecks offered by NOV: the MPT-200, ARN-200, AR-5000 and
ST-160 modular roughnecks. The Frank’s tong cassettes are
capable of making up and breaking out a large range of pipe
sizes employing three tong cassettes.
The 7 5/8-inch casing/tubing tong cassette handles 4-inch to 7 5/8-inch diameter pipe, 14 3/8-inch casing/riser tong
cassette handles 7-inch to 14 3/8-inch,
and XT-22-inch casing tong cassette
handles 14-inch to 22-inch. The 7 5/8-inch
cassette can be fitted with optional 8 3/4inch fluid grip system to eliminate gripping marks when torquing chromium and
other high-grade completion tubing, as
can the 14 3/8-inch tong when equipped
with 7 5/8-inch jaw reducer kit. The 14
3/8-inch cassette provides for variable
separation distance between the tong
and backup to accommodate casing and
drillpipe landing string connections. Computerized data trek torque turn systems
are available for all Frank’s tongs.
for our cassette comes from the rig supply.
The roughneck frame can position the
tong to and from the well center via the
driller’s remote-control station. The tong
cassette is controlled by Frank’s personnel
via a Frank’s pneumatic control console
to operate all tong and backup functions.
Some roughneck systems can readily
accommodate the larger XT-22-inch cassette, while others must employ a Frank’s
adapter darriage to handle the extra mass
and provide vertical tong positioning,
with the adapter installed between the
roughneck transport frame and the tong
cassette, including all its cassettes.
The modular NOV roughnecks rely on
either rail or linkage transport systems to
manipulate the rig’s pipe wrench module,
used to make up and break out drill pipe.
These wrench modules can then be uncoupled, and Frank’s casing tong modules
(or cassettes) can be installed in their place
while the roughneck is in the parked position. Once installed, the hydraulic power

Frank’s CRT Tools Introduced to the Latin American
In September 2013, the regional vice president, all seven country managers and regional supporting functions
(marketing, finance, CRT product line, sales and business development) gathered together in Panama City,
Panama, to review the new organization and understand the new vision for the region.
G
oing through the process of
reviewing the potential opportunities of each country and
comparing them to the Frank’s portfolio
of offerings, it was evident that a key
component was missing. Casing running
tool (CRT) technology was not deployed to
almost any country in Latin America; therefore, a strategy was needed to be constructed in order to consider each aspect
of deploying the tools into the region.
The first key point for the deployment of
CRT technology was to analyze the market conditions to determine what tools
needed to be brought into each country.
Another fundamental step in this process
was having the right technical personnel
to operate the equipment. The process
entailed the selection of existing Frank’s
personnel or pulling competent personnel
from the region and training and developing their competencies to operate, maintain and troubleshoot the equipment.
A multitiered process plan was developed
in order to effectively introduce the CRT
products into each country. The approach
consisted of face-to-face customer visits/
presentations and performing an assessment of the operational facilities to survey
their capabilities to support CRT jobs and

service the equipment. A logistical plan was
then developed to address shipments of
CRT tool packages to the region, and an official training program for Spanish-speaking
Frank’s operators was developed.
Colombia was strategically targeted as the
first country within the region to introduce
Frank’s CRT products. First and second
steps were completed during the month of
November, and a draft copy of the tool list
was prepared.
For the training and competence part of
the process plan, two Colombian operators
were scheduled to arrive in Lafayette, Louisiana, for FA-1-14” and FX-350 training in early
December 2013.
The training program consisted of a basic
technical portion delivered by the Lafayette
training department and supported by
two experienced CRT technicians (Kilgore,
Texas, base) who were fluent in Spanish to
translate during the training period. Formal
training consisted of hands-on training
in the shop and on the training rig and a
follow-up by field on-the-job training coordinated through our Kilgore, Texas, base that
lasted approximately four weeks. The formal
classroom training was complemented with
training-rig time running and pulling four
200-foot strings of pipe (two strings with
FA-1 and two strings with FX-350), on-thejob training in the field running casing and
shop maintenance for the CRT products.
The Colombian operators were mobilized
to the Kilgore operations base and served
as observers during two FX-350 jobs in
the local area. The trainees returned with
certifications of completion of their training
and documented on-the-job training within
Frank’s Job Data Debriefing System.
n September 25, Frank’s held a
groundbreaking ceremony for
its new Operations Facility on Beau
Pre Road in Lafayette, Louisiana. The
175,000-square-foot facility will consist
of a combination of shop, warehouse
and office space to house the company’s operational departments and
approximately 200 employees.
To date, CRT equipment has arrived incountry, and CRT jobs are expected to
commence by early Q2 in Colombia. Mexico,
Ecuador and Peru are slated to be the next
countries to receive CRT equipment in an
attempt to maximize our presence with
regard to CRT in the Latin American region.
The facility is the first of several
new construction projects planned
for Frank’s International’s Lafayette
campus. It is designed to safely
optimize operational workflow and
bring together key components in a
centralized location. These changes
O
will increase procedural continuity and
communication among departments
and encourage employee crosstraining for greater flexibility.
Speaking at the event, Chairman and
CEO Keith Mosing discussed the company’s history of innovation and plans
for future development. “We want to
continue growing our company, investing in research and development,
and delivering new products for the
energy sector,” he said. “We recognize
the importance of Lafayette as the
gateway to the oil and gas industry,
and we’re proud to continue investing
in this community.”

Frank’s Brazil Base Improvements
by Drew Gardenier, David Anderson and the Operations Team
renovation has been undertaken. The area has become wide
open with a great space for work and storage.
Other large-scale improvements were the addition of a state-ofthe-art accessory bucking system, new high-pressure cleaning
systems and a wheel abrader system to aid rapid preparation for
regular scheduled inspections per the Frank’s International QA/
QC system. All of this equipment and storage is under a comprehensive shopwide overhead crane system, which again greatly
enhances the safety and work flow of all processes involved.
T
he Frank’s International base in Macae, Brazil, has undergone a round of improvements. After the departure of a
long-term tenant that shared the Brazil base, the space
opened up to improve the safety and general workflow for
ongoing and expanding Frank’s operations. Under the guidance of recently appointed management Dennis Walker, general
manager, and David Anderson, operations manager, a large-scale
Frank’s Brazil has also gained the second-floor office space, thus
making room for the staff to improve and expand its office space.
Further improvement to the yard, outside storage and training
areas are ongoing, as is a total revamp of the pressure-testing
facility in the yard. Even the city of Macae is on board in longterm efforts to renovate the access roads and reroute traffic for
efficiency and further safety near completion.
All of the above add to Frank’s ability to provide our clients with
seamless service in a pleasant, professional environment and
achieve the Frank’s advantage!
Safety and the Community at Frank’s Brazil
by Drew Gardenier, Dilsa Santos and the Human Resources Team
Frank’s Brazil recently achieved a milestone of
300 days with no lost time or recordable incidents. The location took this opportunity to
celebrate this achievement with a barbecue at
the recently renovated Frank’s Macae facility
for all employees. The celebration was well attended, and a good time was had by all, as this
was a solid example of Frank’s commitment to
its employees’ safety around the world.
Frank’s also had a training day under the local SIPAT guidelines in
Brazil for all employees, which further demonstrated the commitment to safety and excellence of service by the Frank’s Brazil team.
Frank’s Brazil employees also demonstrated their commitment to
the community by taking part in several charitable activities. Two
recent events were a visit/donation to a local retirement center
12
and a visit/donation to a local orphanage. These are ongoing
charitable activities by our management and employees and
demonstrate the involvement and commitment to the local community that, indeed, supports all of us!
We look forward to more safety milestones and community
involvement for the team in the future!

Compliance: Step Toward the Future
by Nuno Mana
The oil and gas industry is now, more than ever, demanding compliance of its products and services. Due to recent safety-related
incidents, as well as constant advancements in technology, it
is becoming increasingly difficult for organizations to manage
compliance, no matter the regions or markets they serve. Frank’s
International has an internal compliance group committed to
ensuring that the company is able to meet these requirements.
Frank’s International, being aware of these significant challenges,
has already made this step toward the future, acting proactively
in our conceptual engineering work to ensure that our products are designed according to required applicable regulatory
legislations and the most current normative references, while
implementing state-of-the-art practices and using renowned
third-party certification organizations.
Regulatory compliance is mandatory and describes the way in
which corporations ensure that their products comply with relevant laws and regulations. For example, in the European Union,
all the directives under the umbrella of CE marking, such as the
Machinery Directive and Explosive Atmospheres (ATEX), are legally required. Failing to meet regulatory compliance represents
violations that can have catastrophic consequences or significant
penalties. This compliance can be achieved internally or through
a third-party certification body. Frank’s International currently has
CE marking technical files on 29 different products, ranging from
horseshoe elevators to casing running tools.
In the Compliance Group, we are very proud of the achievements
made so far, thankful for all the support and very excited with the
challenges ahead.
The Compliance Group is also responsible for interacting with
Det Norske Veritas (DNV) for type approvals and case-by-case approvals. DNV offers certifications for containers, baskets and other
equipment that is lifted offshore, as well as hoisting equipment
(such as elevators, etc.).

First Below-Mudline
Whipstock in Malaysia
by Selaut (Frank’s)
by Douglas Reid
In September 2013, Selaut Oil Tools Services successfully completed its first belowmudline whipstock project for a major IOC offshore of Malaysia. It consisted of
cutting and removing part of a 24-inch conductor string 86 feet below the mudline,
replacing it with a new 22-inch string.
Planning began months before in December 2012, headed up
by Frank’s Far East Regional Hammer Manager Gary Young. Upon
analysis, Gary and his team recommended the use of the S-90
Hydraulic Hammer. The target depth calculated took into consideration the bending and driving stresses applied to the new
conductor string, giving a target penetration rate. In order to
achieve the optimum penetration, Frank’s International designed
a custom whipstock for the work, which was built in Singapore to
reduce delivery time and cost to the client.
Derrick Jones, a whipstock specialist from Frank’s Lafayette base,
was selected to head up the job offshore. He worked as a team
with Alex Voon, Gajen Kumaresan and Stanley Umpi, all from
Selaut Malaysia.
Prior to the team arriving on the rig, the well had been abandoned, and an internal cut had been made by another service
company. Subsequently, the freed conductor was pulled to the
surface and cut into lengths using a Selaut-provided guillotine
saw. A dual drill was also used to cut holes for lift pin installation,
allowing the remainder of the string to be lifted to the surface.
Following the retrieval of the conductor, the hole was enlarged
by the rig to ensure a smooth drive off from the whipstock,
which was oriented to the planned azimuth. The shoe sheared
from the whipstock problem-free.
The team ran the replacement conductor, and the S-90 Hydraulic
Hammer was used to efficiently drive it to the target depth. Once
14
reached, the team utilized a cold cutting unit to create a clean
cut of the conductor at the wellhead deck.
The success of this job has highlighted to all operators in the
region the capability of Selaut/Frank’s to execute slot recovery
work both above and below the mudline. In total, four slot recovery jobs have been completed by Selaut in the region, with more
already planned for the future.
A special thanks goes out to the engineering groups in Lafayette
and Singapore for their calculations and technical drawings.
Frank’s Malaysia
by Paul Grayson and Ratna Kumar
PETRONAS is a Malaysian oil and gas company
that was founded in 1974. PETRONAS has more
than 100 subsidiaries and many joint venture
companies in which PETRONAS has a stake. One
of its key subsidiaries, PETRONAS Carigali Sdn
Bhd (PCSB), is the main hydrocarbon exploration
arm in Malaysia.
T
o ensure competitive pricing; maximized utilization of resources; and
optimization of its project deliveries in terms of safety, costs and schedule,
PETRONAS engaged in setting up Pan Malaysia, which contracts in cooperation with
its production sharing contractors (PSCs).
The provision of tubular handling equipment and services (THES) was one of
the contracts that were initiated in 2000.
The invitation to tender in cooperation
with PCSB was extended to Sarawak Shell
Berhad, Exxon Mobile Exploration, and
Production (M) Inc. Each PSC technical
requirement and commercial evaluation
was standardized and transparent among
the companies.
In 2006, the second Pan Malaysia THES
contract was extended to include Nippon
Oil & Gas Exploration (Malaysia).
For the third Pan Malaysia THES contract,
seven PSCs were involved: Sarawak Shell
Berhad/Sabah Shell Petroleum Company
Ltd., ExxonMobil Exploration and Production (M) Inc., MDC Oil & Gas (SK 320) Ltd.,
Murphy Sarawak Oil Co. Ltd./Sabah Oil
Co. Ltd./Peninsular Malaysia Oil Co., JX
Nippon Oil & Gas Exploration (Malaysia)
Limited, Petrofac (Malaysia – PM 304) Ltd.
and Petronas Carigali Sdn Bhd.
A market survey was released in July
2012, followed by an invitation to bid (ITB)
through the Shell Marketroot website
in January 2013. Selaut Oil Tool Services
Sdn Bhd, an associate company of Frank’s
International, qualified and was invited
to participate in the tender process, and
its bid submission was made on March
4, 2013.
A total of eight technical clarifications
(inclusive of terms and conditions and 21
exceptions), one face-to-face meeting in
April 2013, two techno-commercial clarification meetings in September 2013 and a
site visit to Selaut Labuan base in September were required between the Pan
Malaysia principals and Selaut through
the bid evaluation phase.
On October 29, Selaut was invited for a
kickoff meeting with PCSB and Murphy
and was given a letter of award for the
“Shallow Water” (East Malaysia Operations).
PCSB’s award is considered a huge success since this marks its return to work
after more than 12 years since the last
serviced PCSB in the Dulang field. This
also gives other PSCs options to farm into
PCSB’s THES contract, giving Selaut the
opportunity to secure additional contracts without bidding exercises through
the validity of this contract, which ends in
October 2018.
Selaut anticipates managing eight rig
packages for PCSB and one rig package
for Murphy under this contract. Selaut
has the option to secure additional
rig packages, subject to availability of
resources, and also gives opportunities
to introduce Frank’s new technology and
mechanical tools.
The award of this contract cements Selaut
Oil Tool Services Sdn Bhd a position in
Malaysia and offers a great platform on
which to build a long-term future. This
success is a product of the hard work and
dedication of the Selaut KL team, as well
as the Operations and Commercial teams
of Frank’s International Singapore, Dubai,
India and Lafayette.

New Technology Skills Training
by Jacke West
Skills training and the preparation of new equipment deployment are earning positive returns on
investment and recognition from our business partners. These results are only possible through
dedicated support across all divisions of Frank’s International. There are many examples that could
be shared, all of which are deserving of recognition. I would like to share one of those examples.

Global Advantages of the Jet String Elevator
by Cody Roy
T
he traditional method of handling
jetted pipe can prove problematic
because it requires pad eyes or
other lifting profiles, which can impair
well condition, efficiency and safety. In
response, Frank’s International has created
the jet string elevator (JSE). Designed to
lift flush OD 36-inch casing from the horizontal to vertical position, this new tool
eliminates the need for pad eyes or other
lifting profiles. Plus, the JSE can support an
entire string weighing up to 200 tons.
the pad eyes, these
predicaments can
occur due to the
boss design disturbing soil more
than flush pipe
would. Surface interruptions reduce
the skin friction
required to support
structural casing.
The removal of pad eyes — a practice
required of other tools — can be troublesome. Casing’s high-grade materials
are not designed to withstand heating
outside of a controlled environment, so
the torches and grinders used to remove
these implements can inflict gouges that
could potentially reduce pipe strength.
Like pad eyes, other lifting profiles have
drawbacks too. For example, collars,
similar to bosses, cause mudline surface
interruptions. The installation and removal
of lift subs and clamps prove cumbersome
and time-consuming. Furthermore, the
height at which these implements must
be manipulated necessitates the precarious use of ladders.
Bolted-on pad eyes (utilizing bosses) sometimes have complications as well, namely
broaching, subsidence, trapped casing or
even total wellbore failure. After unbolting
By eliminating the need for pad eyes or
other lifting profiles, the JSE negates all
of the potential problems associated
with these implements, which serves
16
the industry well. In fact, using the JSE,
one customer reduced average job run
time by five hours or more, while saving
in excess of $175,000 (as reported in SPE
165897: a case study of large-scale batch
sets for Hess’ Tubular Bells Campaign).
And BP-Angola, which had also previously
used traditional pad eyes, indicated similar
benefits for a four-well batch set. The JSE
afforded the Angola Region – Ensco DS6
– Top Hole Batch Campaign a 31 percent
time improvement (4.3 hours of rig time
per well, totaling 17.2 hours for four top
holes) and $470,000 in savings.

Named Chief Accounting Officer
In February 2014, Franks International’s chairman and CEO, Keith Mosing, named Victor
C. Szabo as the company’s chief accounting officer. Victor and his accounting team were
instrumental in transitioning Frank’s International from a private company to a public
entity in August 2013. Victor has spent the last eight years of his nearly 20-year career
working for Frank’s International. He began as an assistant controller and was quickly
promoted to controller in 2006. Victor progressively expanded his job duties and responsibilities to become the group controller in 2010.
Before joining Frank’s International,
Victor obtained a diverse background
with upstream and midstream energy
companies. In these roles, he had
various levels of accounting and financial
planning and analysis responsibilities
with both privately held and publicly
traded companies.
to go the extra mile for the sake of the
company. The dedication and work ethic
that Victor and the entire accounting
organization demonstrated during the
company’s public filing last year was

improved efficiencies while providing additional information that our management
team requires.
Despite the change required when the
company successfully became public,
we are confident Victor and his team will
continue this momentum by adding to
and maintaining the needed systems and
structure to sustain the company’s growth
and ensure compliance amid the stringent
public-company regulations.

LAGCOE
F
rank’s International’s booth at the
biennial LAGCOE exhibition in Lafayette was based on our proud history
in the oil and gas industry. Frank’s representatives were on hand to share some of
our industry-leading innovations, including high-definition animations of some
of our patented tools, and, as always, Mr.
Vic was on hand to serve up his famous
roasted peanuts.
In addition to banners with images from
Frank’s history going back to 1938, the
booth featured another memorable guest:
a Cessna 180 Amphibian airplane. The
plane served to highlight the important
role aviation has played in the history of
Frank’s, beginning with Frank Mosing’s
second son, Billy, and continuing to Keith
and Mike Mosing.
Chili Cook-Off
On a chilly Thursday in November, Frank’s
International hosted its second annual
Chili Cook-Off to benefit the United Way of
Acadiana in Lafayette, Louisiana. The cool
temperatures were a perfect match for the
spicy competition, with 75 teams producing unique chili dishes from ingredients
both traditional and exotic. An appreciative crowd of hundreds attended the event
18
outside the Acadiana Mall, raising $43,280
for the United Way of Acadiana and collecting 629 pounds of nonperishable food
items for FoodNet of Acadiana. Prizes were
awarded for best chili in each category, as
well as for spirit and costumes.
The event was made possible by the
generous support of many sponsors,
volunteers and cooking teams. Frank’s
presented the check to the United Way
of Acadiana on December 12, 2013. The
money raised by the event will go to support United Way of Acadiana’s efforts to
help create an educated, prosperous and
safe community where all individuals and
families achieve their potential.
Fin, Feather, Fur Food Festival
On November 14, Frank’s International competed in the 10th
Annual Fin, Feather, Fur Food Festival put on by the American
Association of Drilling Engineers in Houston, Texas. Led by Frank’s
very own master chefs, Ferdie Dupuis and Toby Pitre, the Frank’s
team cooked up the first-place finish in the “Fur” category with its
wild boar pizza. What a way for Frank’s International to wrap up
its 75-year anniversary!
M
All proceeds went toward AADE activities and educational opportunities, such as the Offshore Energy Center in Galveston. This
center showcases aspects of the oil and gas industry with teaching resources, interactive lessons and hands-on activities.
Franksgiving
ore than 220 families in Lafayette, Louisiana, received all the
ingredients for a delicious holiday meal courtesy of Frank’s
employees and vendors. The annual event took place on November 26, with dozens of Frank’s employees helping with boxing and
unloading. Meals were picked up by individual families, local churches
and FoodNet. Each box included the fixings for a festive Thanksgiving meal, including a 12- to 14-pound turkey, dirty rice, green beans,
yams, corn, bread, macaroni and cheese, and two liters of soda. It was
another great year for our signature “Franksgiving” event.

Understanding At-Risk Be
by Cliff Roberts, CSP
At-risk behaviors normally surface as a major
contributing cause during incident investigations.
Risk is defined as the possibility that something
bad or unpleasant (such as an injury or a
loss) will happen. Behavior is defined
as the way in which one acts or conducts oneself. The table on page
21 is a simple way of understandDecision
ing at-risk behaviors. When at-risk
behaviors are controlled, only then
will incident prevention will improve in
a large way.
At-Risk Behaviors/
Conditions
Errors
20
Knowledge/
Information
Technique
Examples of at-risk behaviors include but are not limited to:
• Not following a written or well-established procedure
• Placing hands on or in an identified pinch-point zone
• Speeding beyond the established speed-limit posting
• Handling hazardous chemicals without proper PPE
• Not using a safety/seat belt
Deviations
Perceptual
Routine
Exceptional
Attention/
Memory
Prevention of at-risk behaviors include but is not limited to:
• Never bypass or not use a safety device (safety belt, fall-arrest
harness, interlocks, etc.)
• Always follow established and well-known procedures
• Receive formal training (HSE, skilled, awareness, customer, etc.)
• Follow the safety rules 100 percent of the time
• Pay attention to your surroundings, and when in doubt, ask
good questions
haviors
Behavioral
Behavioral
Factors
Factors
The events and conditions that are closely tied to the occurrence and can be described as active failures of
actions committed by the employee that resulted in the human error or at-risk situation.
Errors
Errors are factors in a mishap when mental or physical activities of the employee fail to achieve their intended outcome as a result of
skill-based, judgment-based and/or perception-based errors. These types of errors are unintended.
Decision
• Was the behavior or action of the individual intended yet the chosen plan inadequate to achieve the
desired outcome?
o Rules-based decision (if X, then do Y; highly procedural tasks)
o Choice decision (knowledge-based, inadequate knowledge of systems/procedures)
o Structured (procedures not 100 percent complete)
Technique
(Execution)
• Was the execution of the technique being applied somehow flawed (lack of ability or skill)?
Attention/
Memory
• Was there an attention/memory error during the employee’s execution of a routine task whereby his or
her lack of attention to detail while performing a specific task resulted in the omission of a required step
or inadvertent activation of equipment?
Knowledge/
Information
• Did the error involve incorrect or insufficient information applied to a routine task? This can happen due to
lack of training, confusing or multiple sources of information, or incorrect work direction being provided.
Perceptual
• Was there a loss of attention, auditory cues, balance, focus or visual cues leading to the human error?
o Misjudged clearance
o Loss of situational awareness
o Visual illusions
Deviations
Deviations are factors in an occurrence when an employee’s actions represent willful disregard for or noncompliance to company
policy, standard operating processes and procedures. Routine and exceptional deviations are not differentiated by the nature of the act
but whether or not the act had become the norm within the organization, whatever its level.
Routine
Deviations
• Did the behavior involve a willful disregard for company policy, standard operating processes and procedures whereby the deviation has become the norm in the workplace and noncompliance has been
accepted or condoned by at least one level of supervision?
Exceptional
Deviation
• Did the behavior involve a willful disregard for or noncompliance to company policy, standard operating processes and procedures whereby compliance is normally enforced at all levels of supervision?
o When fundamental processes are performed and steps of the process are omitted, an exceptional
deviation may have occurred
