INCENTIVE & AWARDS PROGRAM

PURPOSE This practice defines the requirements for P2S’s health, safety, and environmental (HSE) incentive and award programs.

SCOPE This practice includes following major sections:  Incentive Programs  Outstanding Incident Prevention Achievements  Award of Excellence and Merit  Safety Cross Awards (Silver and Bronze)  Application Process

APPLICATION This practice applies to work activities and employees under the control of P2S and its contractors.

DEFINITIONS None.

1.0 INCENTIVE PROGRAMS

1.1 General

P2S believes that successful HSE programs are accompanied by periodic recognition of employees’ accomplishments. One way of accomplishing recognition is through incentive programs that recognize employees, work crews, or the total workforce. P2S supports the use of HSE incentive programs that are designed to promote and enhance safety performance. HSE incentive programs should be easy to understand and administer, fair and nondiscriminatory, and provide recognition and rewards worthy of the specified safety accomplishment – and they should have well-defined program rules with clear starting and ending periods.

1.2 Approved Programs

P2S HSE endorses the following 2 HSE incentive programs:  Recognition — rewards employees for outstanding HSE performance with tokens, mementos, or gifts.  Monetary — rewards employees with cash payments.

A. Recognition Program

INCENTIVE & AWARDS PROGRAM

The recognition incentive programs (nonmonetary) are the primary programs used by P2S. They are varied and versatile, and promote ease of use and flexibility in implementation. Project/Site Managers and other P2S Operations Managers may implement recognition incentive programs at their discretion. Approval by Corporate HSE is not needed. B. Monetary Programs

Monetary incentive programs provide for bonus cash payments to employees and require certain approvals before implementation and a mechanism for auditing the program while it is in place. The Project/Site Manager, Department Manager, and Project/Site HSE Representative have the following responsibilities:  Determine which incentive program to implement at the project/site.  Implement and administer the program.  Manage the program in the best interest of P2S and the client.  Implement an auditing system of the program.

Variable aspects of the programs will be administered in accordance with a process that is mutually acceptable to P2S, the client, and the contractor/subcontractor (if applicable). Proposed monetary incentive programs must be described in detail using Form 000.653.F0139, Monetary HSE Incentive Program. The form should be completed and submitted to the following for their review and approval:  Project/Site Manager  Regional Safety Manager  Craft Compensation Director/Manager  Business Unit President

Once final approval has been received, copies of the approved form should be distributed to those on the approval list and the HSE Board.

1.3 Program Audit

Monetary incentive programs reward employees on the achievement of an agreed upon level of HSE performance. Statistical information, in the form of total recordable incidence rates and Days Away, Restricted, or Transferred – Lost (DART-L) incidence rates are commonly used as performance indicators. Auditing this statistical data is an important part of the monetary incentive program that demands program integrity. Monetary incentive programs will be audited jointly by the responsible Regional Safety Manager and the P2S Internal Auditing Department. Incentive program audits will be conducted as a part of normal HSE audits .

2.1 General

P2S believes that all incidents are predictable and preventable. By training our employees to anticipate potential hazards and equipping them with safe work practices to alleviate or prevent those hazards, we reaffirm P2S’s status as the safest contractor in the world. While this keeps us competitive in the global marketplace, above all it protects our most valuable asset – our employees. Based on the priority placed on safe work practices, P2S has developed a program to recognize projects and offices on a global scale that successfully implement safe work practices by setting and achieving safe work-hour goals. The awards for which a project/site or office may become eligible, as well as the criteria for each, are provided below.
