I N T R OD U CT I ON Aircraft operations in the offshore environment have an inherent high risk of harming people, assets, the environment and reputation. Achieving continuous improvement and risk levels that are As Low As Reasonably Practicable (ALARP) requires implementation of safety improvements as they become available. Robust HSE management of current aircraft operations through compliance with this BSP Standard is a pre-requisite in seeking to achieve the same safety performance as the commercial airlines. 1.1 Scope and Application This Standard is part of the Shell Group Requirements for Aircraft Operations (SGRAO). This standard applies to activities which have potential for significant impact, it is on this basis that strict management controls should be in place. Where it is impossible or inappropriate for the company to apply management controls, an exception to the HSSE & SP Control Framework must be submitted. Exceptions can only be considered for activities that are assessed not to be high HSSE risk and where the effort and cost of implementing management controls would generally be disproportionate. The activities for which management controls should be in place shall be listed. The grounds for any exceptions shall be documented and submitted to the Group TA 0 by senior management. This Standard shall apply to all BSP assets and by express contractual obligation, to contractors and subcontractors for all HSSE aspects of air transport operations. For the purpose of this Standard: ‘Contractors’ shall mean the provider of the service or goods to BSP Companies as detailed in the HSSE & SP CF for ‘Contractor HSSE Management’; ‘Operator’ shall mean the operator of an aviation fleet, in the case of BSP, SAV. 1.2 Shell HSSE Standard The clauses in this document are based mainly on key controls referenced in the following documentation: • • • • 1.3 Shell Group Requirements for Aircraft Operations - Part 1: Standards for Aircraft Operations; Shell Group Requirements for Aircraft Operations Business Processes – OMA: Procure, Operate & Maintain Air Transport Facilities OMA 3-7; EP2005-0263-Manage Logistics – Air Transportation HSE – Helicopter Landing Officer Manual; CAP 437 UK Standards for Offshore Helicopter Landing Areas.

H AN D L I NG OF P AS S ENGE R S , B AGGA GE A ND F R EI GH T 6.1 Scope: 6.1.1 Helideck operations are normally carried out with the helicopter rotors turning. Keep passengers in a safe area away from the helideck during helicopter landing and take-off. Ensure that passengers on the helideck, embarking and disembarking from helicopters are wearing lifejackets, proper PPE and ear protection. 6.2 Embarking/ Disembarking with Rotors Running 6.2.2 When the aircraft has landed, the anti-collision light(s) have been switched off, and the pilot has given the `thumbs up’ sign, the procedure is as follows (Appendix I): 6.2.2.1 Insert chocks on wheeled undercarriage aircraft, unless otherwise requested by the pilot. The cabin attendant (CA) will open the cabin door and disembark the aircraft; 6.2.2.2 Once the aircraft is chocked, exchange manifests with the pilot; 6.2.2.3 Passengers shall remain strapped in until the ‘fasten seat belt’ sign is switched OFF; 6.2.2.4 Supervise the offloading of baggage/freight (as specified on the manifest) and lay it out neatly in a row on the helideck next to the aircraft main door, bearing in mind the helicopter's safety zones. The row of baggage should be positioned in the direction of the helideck exit. Instruct the HDA’s when to remove any freight; 6.2.2.5 When baggage is arranged and ready for collection on the helideck, signal the pilot to release the passengers. The pilot will switch off the fasten seatbelt sign, which is the signal for the passengers to disembark the helicopter; 6.2.2.6 The HDA’s shall channel and direct the passengers to the safe area clear of the helideck after the passengers have picked up their baggage; 6.2.2.7 The following lifejacket procedure applies to the AW139 and S92 helicopters: 6.2.2.7.1 AW139: Lifejackets shall be worn when embarking and disembarking from helicopters. Lifejackets shall only be removed when clear of the helideck or helipad in a designated area, where they can be passed to embarking passengers or the CA; If there are more embarking passengers than disembarking passengers, one of the HDA's shall obtain the required number of additional lifejackets from the helicopter; The HDA's shall ensure that surplus lifejackets worn by the disembarking passengers are returned to the helicopter. The lifejackets (stored in a bag) shall be securely stowed in the baggage compartment by the CA; Issue 2 Revision Date: Mar 2019 Page 26 Helideck Procedure Manual – HLO and HDA BSP14-SAV-Procedure-009, Issue 2, Revision 4 6.2.2.7.2 S92: Lifejackets are removed inside the helicopter and placed on the seat.

Issue 2 Revision Date: Mar 2019 Page 60 Helideck Procedure Manual – HLO and HDA BSP14-SAV-Procedure-009, Issue 2, Revision 4 Appendix H continued… Air Transport Annual Helideck Drill Scenarios Owner: Assets Mandatory Restricted Revision 2.0, November 2015 Suggested Required Normal Operations Scenarios 1) Preparing helideck for helideck operations Review daily and pre-landing helideck inspections. (HLO’s to train helideck teams on items to be checked.) Review HSR form and legend in order to understand requirements. Review conditions and communications required for an “available deck” call to the pilots. 2) Passenger/freight handling Team exercise to review HLO safety supervisory role and HDA helideck actions during passenger/freight handling. (At what frequency? Separate ‘drill’ or during the regular helicopter handling operations?) 3) Communications Review communication equipment and hand/arm signal use. (At what frequency?) Inspect and test all aviation radios. 4) Using helideck closure banner Review conditions requiring banner use. Inspect condition of banner. Install banner on helideck, remove, and stow properly. 5) Weather systems Review what weather information is transmitted to pilots, who transmits it, and when it is transmitted. (When and how to do this?) Review handheld wind speed indicator operation. (When and how to do this?) 6) Night Medevac helideck operations (night exercise) Review safety considerations for night helideck operations. (What does this mean?) Review movement of patient on stretcher to helideck and helicopter. Check helideck lights for proper operation. Check for facility lights that could affect pilots’ vision. (Presuming this will be done with actual night Medevac aircraft? Will we introduce additional risks?) 7) Aircraft refuelling (facilities with fuel systems) Team exercise to review HLO safety supervisory role and HDA helideck actions during refuelling. (Do we have a safety checklist for this? Can we do the review as part of the refuelling operations?) 8) Refuelling system Review required inspections and documentation. (HLO’s to train inspections (facilities with helideck teams on items to be checked.) (Do we have a safety checklist fuel systems) for this? Can we do the review as part of the refuelling operations?) Emergency Operations 9) Helicopter crash on the helideck (without fire) Issue 2 Review procedures with facility incident commander. Walk through a response including extraction of injured passengers from a helicopter on its side. Include all HLO’s, HDA’s and Loaders. Include other facility personnel as appropriate.

Walk through a response to a helicopter fire. Include all HLO’s, HDA’s and Loaders. Include other facility personnel as appropriate. 11) Helicopter ditching near facility Review procedures with facility incident commander. Walk through a response to helicopter ditching. Include standby vessel. Include other facility personnel as appropriate. 12) Fuel or oil spill on the helideck with operating helicopter on helideck Review procedures with facility incident commander. Walk through a spill response including helicopter control and review of available spill containment/clean up items. Include all HLO’s, HDA’s and Loaders. Include other facility personnel as appropriate. 13) Helideck firefighting equipment familiarization training Team exercise to review helideck foam system operation (if installed) and all helideck fire extinguishers. 14) Helideck emergency equipment familiarization training Team exercise to review contents of helideck emergency equipment break out box. Review the purpose of each item. Inspect each item for condition and function. 15) Any other accident or incident involving helideck operations Issue 2 Discuss and walk through response to other incidents, such as: Injured person on helideck during helicopter operations Unannounced helicopter landing during crane operations (green deck violation) Disabled helicopter on helideck, including tie down requirements and movement of aircraft to parking area if available.
