  5. Overview 1.3 VALUES cont. 1.4 QHSE MANAGEMENT Our QHSE Policy may be found on the QHSE SharePoint Site under management Commitment: 1.5 QHSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM CORPORATE MANUAL 1.5.1 QHSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OBJECTIVE The QHSE Management System (QHSE MS) is an integrated system established to assist and guide the organization in ensuring that a safe and healthy workplace is provided for employees, contractors, and customers. These projects are carried out in a way that ensures quality and meets all of the customer’s and other stakeholders’ requirements. To eliminate or minimize risks, this management system addresses hazard identification and risk evaluation and control or elimination. In the same way, the QHSE MS ensures the organization protects the environment by identifying, evaluating, and controlling environmental impacts that arise from its operations. This management system also ensures compliance with the requirements of interested parties such as internal and external customers, government and non-government organizations, employees, and shareholders. 1.5.2 QHSE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM SCOPE The Integrated QHSE MS employs the International Standards (ISO) 9001, ISO 14001, American Petroleum Institute (API) Specification Q2, and the Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series (OHSAS) 18001. The specifications in these standards are applied to drilling fluids, completion fluids, solids control, waste management, wellbore clean up, transportation, and technical testing and analysis activities throughout the IDEC organization. TEAMWORK Here at IDEC, we are all one team, whether out in the field in Mexico or an office in India. Our reputation belongs to all of us, and we must uphold and continually improve our reputation around the globe. The seamless collaboration between functions here at IDEC is what sets us apart from the rest. This enables us to provide trouble-free solutions so that our customers can maximize the value of their assets. SAFETY We are committed to the safety of our employees and those with whom they work. We provide training and supervision to ensure that we prevent incidents and continuously learn from our experiences. We empower our employees to report unsafe practices and support them if they stop working in an unsafe environment. We desire that every employee gets home safely, every day.

  7. Health 2.1 INTRODUCTION This section includes guidelines for a healthy work environment. Follow these recommendations and keep in mind the importance of good health. 2.2 DEFINITIONS Health: According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity. Incident: An incident is a work-related event during which injury, ill health, or fatality occurs, or injury ill health, or fatality could have occurred (OHSAS 18801). Illness: Identifiable, adverse physical or mental condition arising from and/or made worse by a work activity and/or work-related situations (OHSAS 18001). Risk: The combination of the probability and consequence of exposure to a hazard, hazardous environment, or situation that could result in harm (OHSAS 18001). 2.3 VACCINATION Vaccination is the administration of a preventive inoculation to confer immunity against a specific disease; usually employing an innocuous form of the disease agent such as killed or weakened bacteria or viruses, to stimulate antibody production. Some vaccines are applied as an injection, others are administered with a nasal or oral vaporizer. Recommendations •Inform the appropriate party (based on local rules and regulations) of any health issues, such as allergies, adverse reactions, and diseases/illnesses. •As required carry your vaccination card with you and ensure that any new vaccine has been registered. •Be aware of the need for additional doses of a vaccine and the dates the additional doses are required. •Avoid applying anything on the affected skin. •If you experience any symptoms following a vaccine and/or symptoms persist, contact your doctor.

  8. Health 2.4 ENDEMIC AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES It is a priority to consider any health issues that could affect workers and that because of their endemic nature (found in certain regions) or epi- demic nature (which may be transmitted by different vectors, including humans), could be present in isolated form or in groups of populations. The classifications to address these diseases are the following: •Insect-borne diseases •Always check with QHSE and HR departments for specific requirements before traveling abroad. •Regularly, empty, clean, and cover all containers that could collect water, such as buckets, barrels, plant pots, etc. to prevent mosquitoes from breeding and laying eggs in still water. •If you are going to travel to malaria-endemic areas, where Plasma dium Falciparum is present, contact your doctor at least two weeks before and after the trip. •Diseases due to contact with contaminated materials, blood, or other body fluids •To prevent Lyme disease (transmitted by ticks), when walking or hiking near woods or pasturelands: •Diseases transmitted by food and water. •Apply repellent on exposed skin and spray your clothing (do not apply directly on your face, use only a sufficient amount to cover the rest of your exposed skin, and do not spray your skin under any garments or on wounds or irritated skin, wash your skin as soon as you return indoors). •Diseases and illnesses associated with accidents involving animals. Recommendations: Insect-Born Disease: If you are going to travel to an area where yellow fever, malaria, dengue fever, and Zika virus among others are common, consider the following recommendations: •Use light color clothing so that you can easily spot any tick. •Wear long-sleeved shirts and tuck your pants inside your footwear or socks. •Use high boots. •Sleep under a mosquito net and use mosquito screens on the doors and windows. •Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants. •There is an effective vaccine against yellow fever. Ask your doctor 10 to 14 days before your trip if you should receive this vaccine.

  9. Health Water and food-borne illnesses and diseases: 2.4 ENDEMIC AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES cont. Recommendations: Disease associated with contact with contaminated materials, blood, or other body fluid: The following are recommendations to help reduce the risk of spreading or becoming infected with the hepatitis A virus, cholera among others: •Always wash your hands after using the bathroom and after being in contact with blood, stools, or other body fluids from an infected person. •Visit your doctor if you have never been vaccinated against tetanus as an adult or if you are not sure of your vaccination status. •Hepatitis B and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS) prevention measures: •Avoid food and water that are not clean. •Learn how to use oral rehydration salts. •Avoid sexual contact with persons infected with chronic or acute hepatitis B. •Make sure you drink potable water. •Use a condom and practice safe sex. •Avoid sharing personal items, such as shaving machines, razors and toothbrushes. •Ensure that needles, surgical knives, and other medical instruments are aseptic. •Clean any blood spill with a solution containing 1 part of do- mestic use bleach and 10 parts of water. •Limit your number of sexual partners. •Your partner’s sexual history is as important as yours is. •Vaccinate yourself against Hepatitis B. •Speak with your partner. •Carefully observe your partner’s body. Check for signs of an STD, such as a rash, sores, skin irritation, or secretions. If you notice something suspicious, avoid intercourse.

  10. Health 2.4 ENDEMIC AND EPIDEMIC DISEASES cont. Recommendations: •Comply with the quarantine regulation when importing dogs and other mammals in rabies-free countries. Diseases and illnesses associated with accidents involving animals: Obtain information about fauna in the area that you are visiting and familiarize yourself with their habits before going camping or hiking. • If you are bitten, seek medical attention immediately. •The following are recommendations to prevent spider bites: •To prevent snake bites, consider the following recommendations: •Shake your clothes and footwear before wearing them if they have been hanging outside. •Avoid tall grass areas. •Do not place your hands or feet in cracks or holes. •Clean regularly behind beds, cabinets, paintings, curtains and other objects or furniture in contact with walls. •Keep in mind that snakes can climb trees, so be careful walking under low branches or climbing trees. •Avoid accumulating construction materials and waste in general. •Dress for the occasion. When out in the woods, wear high boots, long-sleeved shirts, and pants. •Do not place your hands in holes or under rocks. •Be careful when swimming, walking, or fishing in lakes or rivers, especially after heavy rain. •The following are recommendations to prevent rabies: •Apply insecticides with the supervision of qualified individuals. •Avoid contact with animals that you do not know. •Get vaccinated if you work in high-risk areas or travel to high- risk countries. •Make sure that your pets are vaccinated against rabies. Dogs and cats must be vaccinated against rabies when they are approximately 4 months old, once a year thereafter, or every 1 to 3 years depending on the type of vaccine used. H ealth

  11. Health 2.5 ALCOHOL AND DRUGS 2.6 OFFICE ERGONOMICS Ergonomics is the process of designing or arranging workplaces, products, and systems so that they fit the people who use them to perform daily tasks effortlessly, using good work postures according to each task. Recommendations: •Sit in front of the computer and adjust your chair making sure that your arm and elbow form a 90-degree angle. Alcohol and drugs are substances that cause changes, diseases, illnesses, and mental disorders in our bodies, as well as family and social issues. Preventing the use of these substances is a form of avoiding harm to those who surround us, therefore, it is important to participate in the prevention program and transmit the lessons learned into our homes and organizations. Recommendations: •You are required to be fit for work (See section 2.7 for more information) and do not consume alcoholic beverages, or psychoactive or hallucinogenic substances at work. Remember that these substances are prohibited in IDEC. •Sit up straight, leaning against the back of your chair. •Your knees should form a 90-degree angle and your feet should completely rest on the floor. •Participate in required drug and alcohol testing as required by the company, customer, or authorities. •Sit in front of the computer and align your eyes with the top of the viewing area of the screen. •Remember that the Company has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to drugs and alcohol. •Check that your vision field is correct, and your vision is comfortable. •If you see a colleague in a state of inebriation, inform your supervisor immediately. •Check that the items that you require to do your job effortlessly are available on your desk. •Keep in mind that all of us have the right to a smoke-free environment, therefore, if you wish to smoke do so in designated areas. •Exercise at your workstation to reduce and eliminate muscular tension and stress. •Take short pauses to prevent the onset of physical, visual, and/or mental fatigue caused by daily tasks. •If you think you have a drug or alcohol problem, get help. •If you have questions, please refer to your local Alcohol & Drugs Policy. •Learn how to handle work-related stress. Take active pauses for 15 minutes each day, which can be divided throughout the day.

  12. Health 2.6 OFFICE ERGONOMICS cont. •Attend training on computer screen and laptop use, active pauses, and correct posture. •Follow ergonomics recommendations and adapt your workstation to avoid health issues and improve efficiency. •For manual lifting and handling of objects, please see section 3.22 Figure 2 below shows a diagram that explains the proper ergonomics that should be used when working at a desk. Figure 2: Office Ergonomics Figure 3: Warm up to Work

  13. Health 2.7 FITNESS FOR WORK 2.8 RESPIRATORY CONSERVATION The purpose of respiratory conservation is to prevent injuries due to irritation of the airways, airway obstruction, and loss of the sense of smell and taste, among other things. The correct use of PPE reduces injuries as a result of exposure to chemical substances, agents, dust vapors, and others. elements. Recommendations: •Before using a respirator, shave your face where the mask will be in contact with the skin. This is critical to ensure an airtight seal between the face and the mask. Fitness For Work means to improve your health and well-being by preparing your body for tasks that require strength, endurance, and flexibility. The Fitness for Work process includes warming-up activities and muscle stretching, demonstrated in Figure 3. Recommendations: • Prepare your body before performing any task. • Upon task completion, do stretching exercises. • Take 15-minute active pauses each day. • Do not stand on your feet for long periods. •Use appropriate respiratory protection when there is a possibility of being exposed to harmful vapors, dust, smoke, or other contaminants. • Exercise at least three times/week. • •Store respirators appropriately to avoid damage, dust contamination, solar light, excessive humidity, and contact with hazardous chemical products. Use a plastic bag to keep them clean and isolated. Include fruits and vegetables in your regular diet. • Avoid exercising immediately after eating; wait at least half an hour. •Inspect your respirator before each use and during cleaning and disinfection procedures to confirm that it is in good working order and check the different components, i.e., mask, adjustment straps, valves, tubes, hoses, filters, and cartridges. • Sleep a minimum of six hours every day. • If you have any physical issues, do not perform activities that could aggravate your condition. • Hydrate constantly.

  14. Health 2.8 RESPIRATORY CONSERVATION cont. •Never leave your respirator hanging off equipment, on your workbench, in your toolbox, or inside a drawer. Recommendations: •Wear safety goggles, masks, and face shields where there is a risk of injuring your eyes. (Figure 4: A: Examples of Eye Protection, B: Taking Eye Protection Off, C: Washing Eye Protection Figure 4, A) •Store it so that the mask and exhalation valve don’t become deformed. •Do not store your safety goggles in your shirt or pant pockets, always store them in their case. •Avoid carrying your respirator in your pocket or toolbox. This could squash and warp the mask and it would no longer provide a tight seal between mask and face. •Do not expose your eye protection to scratches, cracks, or warping, for example, in toolboxes, on workbenches, or the floor. •Emergency respirators must be cleaned and disinfected after being used. •To remove your safety goggles: •Tilt your head forward and pull the straps from the back of your head forward. (Figure 4: A: Examples of Eye Protection, B: Taking Eye Protection Off, C: Washing Eye Protection Figure 4, B) •To clean your PPE •Cartridges can only absorb a limited amount of hazardous gas or vapor. To ensure complete protection, replace before reaching this limit. •Keep in mind that maintenance-free masks and no-filter respirators do NOT supply air, they only filter the impurities which are present! 2.9 VISION CONSERVATION Place them under running water, use liquid soap, and allow them to air dry. Do not clean your safety goggles with rags or sponges. (Figure 4: A: Examples of Eye Protection, B: Taking Eye Protection Off, C: Washing Eye Protection Figure 4, C) The purpose of vision conservation is to prevent eye injuries and optic nerve damage, which could lead to loss or impairment of vision. Using the appropriate PPE (safety, goggles, mask, welding helmets, cutting goggles, etc.) reduces injuries associated with exposure to solid, liquid, or gaseous chemical substances and particulate projection, among other things.

  15. Health 2.10 HEARING CONSERVATION Fitting and using your earplugs: •With clean hands, roll the entire earplug into narrowest possible crease-free cylinder. •Reach over your head with a free hand, pull your ear up and back, and insert the earplug well inside your ear canal. •If properly fitted, you should feel comfortable and experience a reduction of external noise. The purpose of hearing conservation is to prevent injuries that could lead to hearing loss and ear injuries. Using the correct hearing protection (earplugs, ear muffs, custom-fitted ear protectors, etc.) reduces injuries due to noise exposure. Recommendations: •Disposable Earplugs are to be used only once and should be disposed of after being used. •Reusable hearing protection and earmuffs can be used several times. Wash with lukewarm water and allow them to dry completely, do not use soaps or detergent. •Do not expose yourself to noise unnecessarily. •Do not use cotton as hearing protection. •Undergo regular audiometric testing, as established by your Business Unit (BU).

  16. Health Health 2.11 STRESS AT WORK Stress at work is a situation that is derived from physical, mental, psychological, or emotional workload and that may lead to a loss of concentration when performing tasks, musculoskeletal, cardiovascular, and metabolic issues, and tension. This condition can be addressed with mental training activities, mental pauses, and sports, among other things. Recommendations: •Take regular breaks during activities. •Speak to your supervisor about the activities in question. •Provide feedback on the activities that you are performing. •Maintain open communication with your supervisor(s) and colleagues. •Practice sports after work to relax your mind. •Get adequate rest every day. •Eat a balanced diet. •Spend time with your family and friends. •Accept your life; there are things that you cannot change, but that you can improve. •Remember to smile and laugh. •Stop any bad habits (smoking, drinking excessive amounts of coffee, drinking alcohol, staying up late, drinking energy drinks, procrastinating). •Organize your time and plan your activities.

  17. Health 2.12 HEAT STROKE Wear loose-fitting, lightweight, light-coloured clothing. Avoid using dark or tight clothing because it holds in heat, and it is difficult to cool your body properly because of the inhibition of sweat evaporation. Avoid sunburn. If you are going to work outdoors, wear a lightweight hat to protect yourself from the sun and apply sunscreen to any exposed skin. Having a sunburn reduces your body’s ability to rid itself of heat. Seek a cooler place. Being in an air-conditioned area (e.g. container, office), even for just a few hours, is one of the best ways to prevent heat exhaustion. At the very least, find a well-shaded spot. Fans alone aren’t adequate to counter high heat and humidity. Drink plenty of fluids. Staying hydrated will help your body sweat and maintain a normal body temperature. If you have to limit fluids because of a health condition, be sure to check with your doctor about how much extra you need to drink when the temperature rises. Avoid alcoholic beverages because they produce dehydration. Be aware when taking medicines. Certain medications affect the hydration process. Ask your doctor or pharmacist whether the medications you take make you more susceptible to heat exhaustion and, if so, what you can do to keep your body from overheating. Avoid hot spots. On a hot day, the temperature in your parked car can rise 20 F (11 C) in just 10 minutes. Let your car cool off before you drive it. Never leave children or anyone else in a parked car in hot weather for any period of time. Let your body acclimate to the heat. If you travel to somewhere hot, or the temperatures suddenly change in your area, your body could need time to get used to the heat. It’s best not to exercise or do any strenuous activity in hot weather, but if you must, follow the same precautions and rest frequently in a cool spot. Taking breaks and drinking plenty of fluids during that time will help your body regulate your temperature.

  18. Safety 3.1 INTRODUCTION In this section, you will find the necessary guidelines to perform safely. operations and activities while working for the company. Follow the recommendations: your safety and your colleagues’ safety depend on you. 3.2 DEFINITIONS Hazard: Any facility, location, equipment, tool, job, task, or action that presents a potential of serious injury or death to an employee. (OHSAS 18001) Risk: The combination of the probability and consequences of exposure to a hazard, hazardous environment, or situation that could result in harm. (OHSAS 18001) Safety: Freedom from unacceptable risk of harm. (OHSAS 18001) 3.3 HAZARD ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment is a method that consists of identifying all the hazards that each activity represents to assess them according to their potential to cause loss. Hazard Analysis and Risk Assessment is a quantitative and qualitative analysis. The risks of an operation are derived from the hazards, which are present during each step of a procedure to perform a specific job. The following table provides examples of different hazards and risks that are associated with each.

  19. Safety 3.4 LIFE-SAVING RULES 3.3 HAZARD ANALYSIS AND RISK ASSESSMENT cont. You are responsible for following these rules and for using your Stop Work Authority if you consider that a situation is unsafe. Recommendations: These rules will provide you with the necessary guidelines to protect your safety and integrity and the safety and integrity of your colleagues and the people who surround you. •Identify all the hazards applicable to the activity using the methodology established by your Business Unit. •Make sure that you assess the risks against the existing controls. Recommendations: 1.Driving Safety – all drivers are trained in defensive driving; wear seat belts; follow speed limits; use good Journey Management; don’t drink and drive; and no cell phones. 2.Working at Heights – everyone is trained; to use fall protection when working above 4 feet; the competent person to inspect fall protection before each use. 3.Personal Protection Equipment – everyone is trained; the right PPE for the task; and fit testing for respirator use. 4.Chemical Handling – everyone is trained; use proper PPE; read and understand the Safety Data Sheets; correctly labeled; report all leaks/ spills to your supervisor. 5.Energy Isolation – everyone is trained; follow lines to ensure the right equipment is isolated; always verify isolation before working on equipment. 6.Work Permits – everyone is trained; work permits for any non-rou work; Hot Work, Cold Work, Confined Space Entry 7.Dropped Objects – everyone is trained; certify and inspect all lifting equipment by a competent person; establish a restricted area around the lift; never walk under a suspended load. •Check if additional controls will be required. •Make sure that you are familiar with the local hazard analysis and risk assessment procedure. •Check that the risk assessment report includes the activities that you perform. •Ask for advice. •Follow the management of the change process to notify of any change. •This process should be completed with the JSA tool to ensure continued hazard identification. •When establishing controls, consider the control hierarchy: •Elimination. •Substitution •Engineering Control •Administrative Control •PPE

  37. Safety Recommendations for forklift operations: •Operating forklifts should only be done by individuals who have been properly trained. •Proper and reasonably fitted clothing must be worn as any loose clothing can be caught on machinery. •Be sure to have a proper grip when operating controls (keep your hands free of grease) •Operators should do a routine check of the equipment before driving them. Some things you should check for any faults are brakes, steering, controls, warning devices, mast, and tires. •Report any noted damages or problems management to your supervisor. •Always consider the ‘journey’s end’ of a load before picking it up. •Before starting the forklift it’s important to ensure all the equipment’s controls are within reach and the seat position and mirrors are adjusted to the operator’s needs. •Always use the safety (seat) belt and keep all parts of your body inside the operator’s cabin. •Pay attention and follow any work site rules and guidelines. •Observe all signs, especially those on maximum permitted floor loadings and clearance heights. •Be aware of the height of the load, mast, and overhead guard of the forklift when entering or exiting buildings. •Be careful when operating a forklift near the edge of a loading dock or ramp - the forklift can fall over the edge - keep a safe distance from the edge. •Do not operate on bridge plates, unless they can support the weight of the forklift and load. •Operate at a proper speed. •Take corners and any turns slowly to minimize the risk of tipping. 3.23 MECHANICAL LIFTING cont. •Load the equipment according to its capacity label. •Check that the soil/ground is stable and firm when using a crane. Crane inclination should not be more than one degree. •Cables must be in good condition. When using multiple lines, make sure that they are not tangled. •The crane operator is not to leave the crane unattended with a suspended load. •Before performing a critical lifting (equal to or greater than 70% of crane capacity), the operator will be responsible for developing the lifting procedures and documenting them in the lifting plan. •If the load must remain suspended for a considerable amount of time, the operator must apply the brakes to prevent the load from descending. •The operator will test the brakes each time that a critical load is lifted. This test will consist of lifting the load a few inches and applying the breaks. •Do not allow workers to walk or stand under the hooks. •The load should not be handled over the crane cabin, except when otherwise defined by the crane manufacturer. •The hook must be placed on the center of gravity of the load to avoid movement during the lifting. •Under no circumstance will cranes be used to drag or free (untangle) loads. •Unloaded cranes will be driven with the boom lowered and aligned in the direction of movement. •A spotter or signal person will be assigned to guide the crane when moving, as well as the load and boom, route, speed, and movements. •Load movement will be controlled with a safety line, except when said line represents a hazard. •Verify that there is a PTW and controls in place and that the risks have been communicated before starting the lifting operation.

  38. Safety 3.23 MECHANICAL LIFTING cont. •Avoid sudden reactions when stopping. Be sure that any changes in direction are made gradually and slowly. •Check the area and identify any bumps or uneven ground surfaces along with slippery conditions. •Observe the road and keep away from loose objects or obstacles. •Use the horn when closing in on a corner or doorway/entrance and around people to alert pedestrians or other forklift operators of your whereabouts to avoid any unnecessary collision. •Make sure that you always have enough space to stop safely. •Check the loads carefully before moving them for stability and damage. •It is important to ensure that the load is tilted back with the forks sitting low whilst transporting to increase truck stability. •Check for any overhead objects before lifting or stacking loads. •Make sure loads are correctly stacked and positioned across both forks. •Operate the forklift in reverse when it improves visibility; except when moving up ramps. •It is important to make sure you can see the racking clearly in which you are positioning your load. •The forklift is not designed for people's transportation. •Do not authorize anyone to stand or walk under the load or forklift machinery - The load can fall causing injury or death. •Keep hands and feet clear of the cross members of the mast - Serious injury can be caused if the mast is lowered while your hand is on it. •Do not use the tip of the forks as a lever to raise a heavy load or push a load. •Be sure that you know the capacity of the forklift; never exceed this capacity. •Do not leave a forklift running whilst unattended. •Load transportation (trucking) is a routine activity performed during IDEC operations with load-bearing vehicles. •These activities are generally contracted and supervised by IDEC security or operations and HSE areas. 3.24 LOAD TRANSPORTATION Load transportation (trucking) is a routine activity performed during IDEC operations with load-bearing vehicles.
