1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose
It is essential that all persons working on Sakhalin-2 comply with applicable Health, Safety, Environment,
Security, and Social Performance (HSSE&SP) rules.
To promote compliance, Sakhalin Energy Investment Company (hereafter Sakhalin Energy, or the Company)
rewards behaviours which lead to good performance and imposes disciplinary actions for violations of
specific identified rules deemed essential by the Company and /or Labour Code of the Russian Federation.
The applicable labour safety, industrial safety and road safety requirements are stipulated in RF legislation
and regulations, Company’s HSES&SP Policies and Standards, and in site-specific instructions. In
accordance with Russian Federation Labour legislation:
• It is the duty of all employees to observe labour safety requirements established by laws and other
regulations, as well as by labour safety rules and instructions.
• Sakhalin Energy requires that employees comply with internal labour protection and safety rules and
instructions.
• A failure to follow applicable labour safety requirements is considered to be a breach of labour discipline.
• Sakhalin Energy applies disciplinary sanctions against employees for disciplinary offences.
For the majority of violations to requirements, disciplinary sanctions will be decided by line management on a
case-by-case basis in compliance with the current RF Labour legislation and Sakhalin Energy Internal
Working Rules.
This document defines a number of specific violations for which disciplinary sanctions are mandated
throughout the Company and contractors.
The purpose of this Standard is to define Life Saving Rules (LSRs) and related safety consequence
management arrangements:
1. To save lives.
2. To modify worker and supervisor behaviour by raising awareness of activities which are most likely to
result in fatalities, and highlighting simple actions individuals can take to protect themselves and others.
1.2 Scope
This document applies to all Sakhalin Energy Assets, Facilities, Operations, Projects and Activities, including
activities undertaken by any Contractor on behalf of the Company.
This document applies to all categories of persons working on the Sakhalin-2, including Sakhalin Energy
direct hires, personnel nominated by Shareholders for work at the Company, agency personnel and
contractors.
These rules apply to both workers and supervisors/managers. The term “Personnel” is defined as Company
direct hire personnel, personnel nominated by Shareholder for work at the Company, Contractors and
agency personnel.
Contractors are required to apply the requirements of this Standard within their own systems and in
compliance with RF Labour legislation.
Life Saving Rules have been developed based on analysis of reported fatal and high potential incidents in
Sakhalin-2 and international oil and gas industry. LSRs were identified which if applied would have prevented
a significant portion of those fatal incidents. LSRs are communicated using simple icons and text. Broad
adoption of LSRs is intended to provide consistency for contractors working in the industry.
The control of HSE relies on compliance with Russian Federation Labour legislation and with the Sakhalin
Energy HSE-SP Management System and associated control documents. HSE incidents, near misses and
non-compliances occur when violations of these control documents take place.
