Welcome to Wood Groups

Health, Safety and Environmental
Management System Standard.
Wood Group is an increasingly global business operating
in over 50 countries. It is vital that we conduct all our
operations, wherever they are, in a way that neither
harms people nor the environment. We have moral,
professional and legal obligations to deliver our services
in ways that assure we protect peoples health,
prevent incidents and injuries and minimise adverse
environmental impact. Our commitment to that is clearly
laid out in our HSE Policy Statement.
We can only live up to that commitment if we organise
ourselves in a planned, systematic way and that is why
we have had a Wood Group HSE Management System
in place for many years. The regularly revised document
describing the system has become familiarly known over
the years as the Red Book.
This latest revision for 2012 has been significantly
updated to reflect current best practice and to fit within
the context of our recently launched Group core Values.
Sections on Leadership, Human Factors and Integrity
Management have been highlighted as especially relevant
updates and the core Values have been included as a
reminder of what we are committed to as an integral part
of doing business.
We emphasise the Safety & Assurance core Value as
our top priority, and as it is colour coded in blue, we
anticipate that this new revision of the Standard will
become known as the Blue Book.
The Blue Book contains sound advice for transforming
our aspirations into practice and it is vital that Business
and HSE leaders read, understand and apply it.

Our core Values

Within this Standard, you will see this
expanded upon. It will variously use terms
such as safety, assurance, security, quality
and integrity. These are all valid and critical
extensions of the Safety & Assurance core Value.
Safety & Assurance

Safety & assurance is our top priority. We
passionately care about the safety of our
people and behave as safety leaders. We are
committed to preventing injuries and ill health
to our people and everyone we work with.
Well work in partnership

with our clients, the
regulators and our
employees to deliver our HSE
objectives.
Within this
standard we set
out the framework
to protect the
health of everyone
that we work with
and to sustain our
operations free of
incidents and injuries. An
essential aspect of this
is understanding human
behaviour and assuring
training and competence
is appropriate to the
risks encountered.
HSE excellence is a sign

of a successful business.
We wont compromise HSE
excellence for financial
gain.
Relationships
Our business depends on healthy relationships
with customers, business partners and
suppliers.
Social Responsibility
Being socially responsible is integral to what
we do. We aim to make a positive difference to
the communities where we operate and seek
ways to assist them.
People
People are our business. We are professional,
high performing team players focused on
delivering and drawing on our global expertise.
Innovation
Innovation gives us competitive advantage.
Well use both

traditional continuous
improvement techniques,
as well as embracing
innovation, to deliver our
HSE objectives.
Financial Responsibility
We expect to receive fair reward for our
business performance. We are cost aware and
carefully manage our own and our customers
costs.
Integrity
We are proud of our reputation, built over many
years, which depends on us doing the right
thing.
We will be honest,
fair and open in our
management of HSE.
Within this Standard,

the main extension
of this core Value
is in the area of
environmental care,
where we define our
obligations and
aspirations to
reducing resource
consumption, waste
and any negative
impacts of what
we do.
Scope
This document defines Wood Group (the

Group) HSE standards and provides guidance
on the development and implementation of
HSE Management Systems to ensure that
every Group Business Unit worldwide operates
in ways which:
assure peoples health
prevent incidents and injuries, and
minimise adverse environmental impact.
This document applies wherever:
the Group manages Business Units, companies,
contracts, projects etc
the Group owns the assets and employs or engages
the relevant workers in its own right
the Group has a contractual obligation to owners of
the entity or assets in question, or to other participants
in the activity in question and has appropriate authority
to conduct the activity
the Group has personnel on clients premises
a Group company is a duty holder, or holds similar
status, in respect of applicable HSE legislation.
This document provides a basis on which to manage HSE

in a Business Unit. It should be used:

by companies acquired by the Group
as a credible foundation for status review
for new Business Unit start-ups
after major organisational change
after joint venture partnership establishment
during major contract or project mobilisations
as a baseline, against which existing or intended

systems can be assessed, and any gaps identified
and remedial action taken.
International standards compliance: this document

promotes and encourages compliance with the
two accepted standards for Health & Safety and
Environmental Management, specifically OHSAS 18001
and ISO 14001.
Legislative compliance: this document anticipates
compliance with HSE legislative requirements applicable
to each Business Unit.
Business Unit: In the context of this document, this
term means any company, operation, contract, project or
product stream which is required to maintain its own HSE
management processes.

To ensure the effective connection of the Group HSE organisation with the Business Unit organisation, a Safety
& Assurance Steering Group exists at Senior Management level, populated by both Group HSE Function
Management and Business Unit Senior Management, which reports into the Group Board Executive.
Wood Group
Health, Safety and Environmental policy

Key elements
This document defines 15 key elements which the

Group deems to be central to the establishment and
deployment of an effective HSE Management System.
The existence of controls in these key areas is not
enough in itself. Leaders must enforce these controls.
Leadership is a key element in ensuring that this
document delivers its aims.
The elements set out in this document will be adopted by
each Business Unit and assessed to ensure effective and
efficient application and compliance.
Compliance with this HSE Management System
Standard will be formally and periodically assessed by
the Group. Learnings will be communicated both to the
Business Unit concerned and to all Business Units who
might benefit.
Key Elements The following 15 elements give guidance,
as well as providing minimum standards in formulating an
HSE Management System appropriate to each Business
Unit. Certain situations will demand much more and only
by exception, will any require less.

How this book works
The 15 key elements which comprise the rest of

this document are laid out to reflect the leadership
responsibilities of those who can shape behaviours and
culture (How we manage) allied with the system design,
deployment and compliance aspects of each of the
elements (What we manage). These two facing pages,
when combined, reflect the principles of Plan, Do,
Check, Act, with the leadership component focusing on
Planning for success, Checking application and Acting
on feedback, and the HSE professionals supporting this
by Doing the appropriate system work, to the necessary
extent.
How we manage
The How component, set out on each left-hand facing
page, focuses on leadership, obligation to support,
plan and resource, personal accountabilities and
responsibilities of leaders. This is the Plan, Check, Act
part of the process.
What we manage
The What component, set out on each right-hand
facing page, focuses on the essential minimum steps
and considerations for each element, and relates to the
specific area being managed. This is the Do part of the
process.

Health and community

The managed and planned care for the health of our people
is critical, as is the avoidance of harm to the communities in
which we work. We must operate in a way which ensures this is
achieved.

Ensure that both HSE and Human Resources

management processes give due and formal
regard to the protection of people from harm
resulting from the work that they do. Care
appropriately for them if these controls fail.
Ensure that any processes and activities which

can harm the health of our people or have
an impact on communities are formally risk
assessed, eliminated, reduced or the potential
for harm mitigated. This will be done in a formal
and structured manner.

Integrity management
Integrity across the range of our operations (including systems,
equipment and facilities) must be assured. We will design,
engineer, construct, operate and maintain the assets for
which we are responsible to protect life and eliminate loss. We
recognise the role of our people, their training, competence and
behaviours in achieving this objective.

Ensure due consideration is given to our people

and their impact on Integrity Management.
This will include their training, competence,
behaviours, attitude and other relevant
influences on their effective deployment.
Ensure that designs, products, systems,
equipment and facilities are produced,
manufactured, constructed, operated,
maintained and decommissioned with due
consideration to safety and reliability.
Ensure that procedures are employed
to assure effective integration of
these processes.

Third parties and suppliers

Business Units will ensure that client and other
third-party HSE requirements are met through deployment
of trained, competent employees and appropriate HSE
Management Systems. Business Units will manage risk
importation to provide proportionate and auditable assurance
that their suppliers and subcontractors meet that same standard.
Third parties might be those to whom we supply items, or
those who place demands upon us. While the control and
arrangements will be different, they are both situations where the
interfaces must be correctly defined and managed.

Ensure that all requirements placed upon

third parties are appropriate, timely,
understood and met.
Ensure suppliers are fully aware of Group and

Business Unit minimum HSE standards. Leaders
may wish to provide Business Unit support
to their suppliers to meet these, by sharing
available HSE knowledge, good practice and
providing feedback.

such problems.
Demonstrate their understanding of this

requirement and commitment to ensuring
changes are managed.
Ensure that proposed changes are properly

evaluated using a risk assessment approach
prior to implementation.
