Smoking generally means inhaling, exhaling, burning or carrying any lighted cigar, cigarette or pipe.

It is the policy of Tananger Offshore AS to provide smoke-free areas for all crew and visitors onboard our vessels. Where the desire of smokers to smoke conflicts with the desire of nonsmokers to breathe smoke-free air, the desire to have smoke-free air will have priority.

Therefore, all Tananger Offshore vessels are designated as follows:

• Smoking is permitted only in areas specifically designated and posted as smoking areas.
• Smoking is prohibited in all accommodation areas, mess room and galley.
• Smoking is also prohibited on bridge, in engine rooms, tanks and workshop areas

Cooperation and consideration between smokers and nonsmokers are necessary to assure the successful implementation of this policy. All Tananger Offshore Crew are responsible for observing the provisions of this policy on smoking.

Tananger Offshore Safety Management System will support a smooth, efficient and safe operation of the vessels.

The objective of this Policy is to protect all our employees, subcontractors, clients and visitors from harassment and discrimination.

• Encourage full reporting and recording of all adverse incidents relating to lone working
• Reduce the number of incidents and injuries to staff related to lone working

Employees will not be expected to undertake tasks or enter situations where they face serious and unacceptable risks. However, following risk assessment, it may be necessary to take controlled risks but ensuring adequate resources. Employees should discuss serious concerns with their manager and expect all reasonable action to be taken to minimize or eliminate the risks. All employees should be concerned about the risks their colleagues face as well as themselves

1. Responsibilities

The Operation Manager and QHSE Manager are responsible for:

• Ensuring that there are arrangements for identifying, evaluating and managing risk associated with lone working
• Providing resources for putting the policy into practice
• Ensuring that there are arrangements for monitoring incidents linked to lone working and that the effectiveness of this policy is regularly reviewed

Masters are responsible for:

• Reporting any dangers or potential risks and dangers they identify or any concerns they might have in respect of working alone

1. Risk Assessments of Lone Working

If anyone is forced to work alone A Risk Assessment shall be carried out before the work can be commenced. Works and operations requiring PTW can not be carried out alone (e.g. welding, confined spaces, etc).

The questions that need to be answered during Risk Assessment may include, but not limited to:

• Are there adequate means of communication in an emergency?
• Does the workplace or task present a special risk to the lone worker?
• Has periodic checks been agreed on and carried out?
• Are there any safety and fire fighting equipment in the vicinity of work site (fire extinguisher, fire alarm button, nearest emergency exit, etc)
• Is there a risk of violence?
• Have reporting and recording arrangements been made where appropriate?

1. Good Practice for Lone Workers

• Always inform department chief / immediate supervisor if you leave the working area
• Establish a “Check-in Procedure” with your immediate supervisor and make sure that regular contact with him/them is maintained. (Check-in procedure means the job plan when estimated time of completion of the job is established and controlled)
• Carry out “radio checks” at agreed intervals
• Familiarize yourself with safety and fire fighting equipment in the vicinity of work site (fire extinguisher, fire alarm button, nearest emergency exit, etc)

“Fit for work” means that an individual is in a state (physically and psychologically) to perform tasks assigned to him/her competently and in a manner which does not compromise the safety or health of themselves or others.

Where it is believed that an individual may not be fit for work then intervention is required to ensure that the risk to health and safety is tolerable.

Employees‘ability to perform their assigned task is directly affected by the way they have used their rest break and time away from work. While it is not reasonable to intrude into how employees spend their rest breaks, Tananger Offshore take the liberty of reminding its staff and their families of the benefit of a balance lifestyle.

Employees shall be aware that certain physical condition and certain activities can have significant impact on their well-being and capacity to work effectively, which include but not limited to:

• Medical Issues
• Insufficient sleep
• Consumption of alcohol or drugs
• Stressful situations

If there is reasonable doubt about an employee’s fitness for task/duty, Tananger Offshore will not allow that person to commence work until he/she has been assessed as fit for the task. All crew members shall be in “Fit to Work” state when joining the vessel. Any deviation from this condition shall be reported to the Company.

Employees must not commence work when deemed to be fatigued. Anyone who does so is acting outside the company policy.

We are recognizing that ensuring safety in navigation is of paramount importance to our activities, the company aims to provide safe, secure maritime services. This Policy shall be achieved through the following steps:

• All senior executives, employees, and other associated personnel shall be united in promoting safe maritime activities, with top priority placed on safety.

• We shall make continuous improvements to our vessel safety management systems and strive constantly to improve our vessel safety standards
