Consequences of Rule-breaking
• Incidents and rule-breaking will be investigated thoroughly

• If the violator is aware of the rule or required procedure through training,

experience or communication, and did not comply with that rule or procedure,
the maximum appropriate disciplinary action will be applied.

• Failure to comply with any Shell Life-Saving Rule will result in disciplinary
action. For employees of contractors or sub-contractors, this means removal from
site and disqualification from future Shell work.

• In addition, if a supervisor (Shell or Contractor) sets the conditions for rule

breaking or fails to follow through if one is broken, maximum appropriate
disciplinary action will apply.
Working together on the Rules
Shell’s expectations:

• Ensure that all your staff and your (sub) contractor staff assigned to Shell
business have been verifiably briefed on the Shell Life-Saving Rules by July 1
2009.

• Embed Life-Saving Rules in induction processes for staff to work for Shell as
soon as possible and no later than end June 2009.

• (Sub) contractor compliance with Life-Saving Rules is the accountability of the

contractor at all times.

• Actively report on Life-Saving Rule breaking.

• Verify, measure and continuously improve compliance.
