Inspection Program
Part of effective management systems is to recognize hazards, unsafe conditions and actions
before they happen in order to reduce negative impact on employees, property, environment
and public.

Inspections of the workplace provide opportunities to identify hazards and unsafe conditions
before a loss can occur. This single action can minimize loss of employees due to injury, loss
or damage to property and equipment, environmental harm and remediation costs, and harm
to the public and negative impact to Chinook Drilling reputation from severe impact events.

Worker observations during work inspections will allow supervision and management to
review procedures, best practices, and hazard information to ensure accuracy of documents.
These observations will allow for correction to administrative and other hazard control
methods, and providing supervision and management opportunities to corrective unsafe
actions and behaviors before incidents occur.

Inspections should identify;

- Potential problems
- Equipment deficiencies
- Improper work practices
- Effect of changes in material or processes
- Equipment problems and deficiencies not anticipated during job design or task analysis
- Inadequacies in action taken for identified problems

Along with looking to identify possible hazards, the hierarchy of inspection methods will allow
for front line leaders a means of self-appraisal ensuring direction of work activities is being
completed, and identify gaps for further worker instruction. Inspection the workplace in
team, will benefit experienced and new or transitioning employees by allow for different
perspectives and minimize complacency by discussing work practices, property condition and
potential impacts.

Participation by all levels of Chinook Drilling during inspection activities will demonstrate our
continued commitment to health and safety to all employees. Management will ensure any
required industry guidelines or recommended practice, governing agencies inspection
requirements are met and recorded.

Conducting inspections will continue to demonstrate our commitment and efforts to identify
and control hazards to make Chinook Drilling locations safe.

Inspection Training
All employees will participate in the inspection process periodically, and need to be properly
educated on proper methods and internal process. Training may occur through media
delivery methods, classroom, or 3rd party providers.

Records of training will be kept with employee training files, and applicable database for
reference.

Management Tours and Inspection

Tours will be conducted as per frequency outlined in above section, regarding responsibilities
for tours and inspection. Management positions will be required to meet specified
frequencies, and if possible arrange tours more than the frequency outlines, depending on
administrative commitments.

Ensuring critical components are properly maintained, is primary in protecting employees,

property, environment and public. If events do occur, critical components need to respond
properly in order to eliminate or minimize severity of impact. Inspections primary focus on
critical and emergency equipment for facilities;

Field Locations
- Accumulator
- Blowout Prevention Equipment, including flare lines and tank/pit
- Drawworks
- Brake Linkage
- Crownsaver
- High Pressure Equipment; including Mud Pumps, Top Drive Systems
- Engines; Generators, Mud Pump, Floor
- AC Electric; Emergency Systems
- Emergency Shut-Off Systems

4
 Office Locations
- Emergency alarm systems for fire
- Emergency evacuation routes clear

Assessment of employees’ preparedness to respond to critical situations can uncover gaps

that may need to be addressed. Minimizing impact of negative events and being prepared will
minimize after effects and severity of possible outcomes. Part of inspections should include
meetings, to discuss critical procedures, including but not limited to;

Field Locations
- BOP Procedures
- Emergency First Aid Procedures
- Fall Rescue Procedures
- Equipment Emergency Shut-Off Procedures

Office Locations
- Emergency Evacuation
- Emergency First Aid

Health, Safety and Environment Tours and Inspections

Management systems having evolving and moving parts, specialized knowledge and assistance
is needed to monitor. With ever changing laws and industry standards, HSE tours and
inspections will assist all locations in meeting compliance requirements and meeting Chinook
Drillings internal standards of performance.

Tours will inspect, but limited to the following;

- BOP, Emergency equipment & systems
- Employee ERP knowledge
- Follow up on action item completions
- Safety equipment availability, supplies and conditions
- Employee knowledge of safety equipment and proper use
- Certification of critical safety equipment and function
- Maintenance of safety equipment and function
- Knowledge of HSE programs by employees
- Observation of employees and adherence to HSE policy, procedures, and other aspects of
programs
- Completion of compliance paperwork and quality of completion

During tours HSE personnel will look to assist in raising the level of compliance, by observing
work completion and engage in communication with front line employees informally during work,
and formally during meetings. This will assist in determining the effectiveness of programs and
where improvements can be made.

In addition to the previous focus, engaging front line workers to measure knowledge during
meetings will be completed. When able to conduct meetings during operations, specific topics
should be identified prior to visits to evaluate the knowledge of employees on specific program
elements, For example, employee knowledge of policies and procedures for dealing with
harassment in the workplace.

Reports will be provided location manager, and forwarded to direct supervision. See Figure 1,
Figure 2

Rig Manager and Rig Crew

Field employees include the Rig Manager & Rig Crews, which manage and perform the majority
of high risk operations. Hazards much be managed and more frequent inspections must be
conducted due to changing locations, adding or removing equipment, drilling challenges, and
frequency of rig and rig down activities and other activities. The following will describe the
activities needed to monitor the activities.

Daily Inspections
Informal daily inspection will be completed, by all positions, before their shift begins and during
continuous operations. Any deficiencies noted, must be recorded on hazard identification forms,
and actions that taken to eliminate or reduce the hazards.

Field Locations
Pre-job inspections must be done during daily work activities, away from major operations
changes in the field. Before beginning daily tasks, employees must inspect the work area to be
used and assess any hazards and use proper controls. If unsure of how to address hazards and
install proper control measures consult direct supervision.

If new hire employee is completing work, a record of JSA, practice and procedure review must
be recorded on Crew Handover Form. See below section for designated shift.

Pre-Spud Inspections1
These inspections will be completed prior to spudding of a new well. Following rig up the Rig
Manager and crew members will be required to ensure all required & critical systems are
functioning properly and ready to use. The CAODC checklist or equivalent inspection checklist
will be used.

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they must be recorded to ensure that hazard
management can be established. See Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6

Weekly Inspections2
These inspections are mandatory as per regulatory requirements, and comprehensive inspection
checklist is made available. Rig Manager and designated crew member will follow the check list,
and record any deficiencies found. If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they must
be recorded to ensure that hazard management can be established.

Chinook Drilling will use CAODC checklist or equivalent inspection checklist to perform the
inspection. See Figure 3, Figure 4, Figure 5, Figure 6

Monthly Inspections
These inspections will focus on safety equipment on location. List of safety equipment and
quantities will be sent to locations, and Rig Managers, and designated crew member will inspect
and ensure the equipment is readily available, condition and quantity. Proper function of
equipment should be determined, and results of inspections sent back to HSE department for
review and retention.

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they must be recorded to ensure that hazard
management can be established. Any major damage deficiencies or non-compliance will be
discussed with the Rig Manager and Field Superintendent, for immediate correction.

See Figure 7

Drivers – Fleet & Crew Vehicles

Operating of vehicles is essential in daily activities of Chinook Drilling. Specific employees will be
provided with fleet vehicles, and as designated, Rigs will be provided crew transportation with
crew cab vehicles or equivalent.

Informal walk around inspections must be completed, and any deficiencies noted on Vehicle Km
Log and Reimbursement Claim form. See Figure 8

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they still must be recorded to ensure that
hazard management can be established.

Refer to Preventative Maintenance Program section for additional information for vehicle
maintenance.

Mobile Equipment Inspection

Mobile equipment that will be used by employees must be inspected as per manufacturer’s
instructions and frequencies. Use of manufacturers or equivalent inspection checklist will be
used.

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they still must be recorded to ensure that
hazard management can be established. Deficiencies must be reported immediately to direct
supervision for follow up and assessment.

At minimum, check the following components:

- Brakes
- Warning devices
- Lights
- Windshield wipers
- Seats and seat belts
- Backup alarms
- Rollover protection devices

 - Fuel tank vents

Supervision for specific location is responsible for ensuring these inspections are completed.

Any deficiencies that are significant to the safe operation of the mobile equipment will follow
lockout & tag out procedures and maintenance program requirements.

Contact HSE department or Field Superintendent for assistance in locating proper inspection
checklists for specific mobile equipment.

Office Administration
Office Inspections will be completed for all location annually or frequent basis as necessary,
upon direction from management. HSE representative will assist inspection, to guide inspection
process in observing and recording deficiencies. HSE representative and administrative
designate will complete the inspection and record any deficiencies found. Copy of inspection will
be submitted to manager for location inspected for review and support resources as needed.

Copy of inspection will be posted in accessible location, for review by all employees for the
location.

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they still must be recorded to ensure that
hazard management can be established.

Joint Health and Safety Committee3

As required by provincial jurisdiction, established joint health and safety committees will conduct
monthly inspections of their workplace. HSE representative will assist committee members, as
needed, with process to ensure inspections are thorough and deficiencies are recorded.

For field locations, Chinook Drilling will use CAODC checklist or equivalent inspection checklist to
perform the inspection.

For office locations, Chinook Drilling office inspection checklist will be used.

If deficiencies are corrected during the inspection, they still must be recorded to ensure that
hazard management can be established.

Regulatory Agencies & Prime Contractor Inspection

Periodically Chinook Drilling worksites will be subject to Regulatory agencies and Prime
contractor inspections of our worksites.

Regulatory Agencies include, but not limited to;

- Alberta OHS
- WorkSafe BC
- Saskatchewan OHS
- Alberta Energy Regulator (AER)
- BC Oil & Gas Commission (OGC)

Any person requesting access to locations, must report to manager for the location. Manager
for the location must request proof of identification to confirm agency or contractor

represented. All visitors must receive a visitor orientation, and must be escorted during entire
visit to ensure safety. Manager for the location must notify their direct supervision of
inspection along with HSE department.

Copy of inspection reports must be submitted to their direct supervisor and HSE department.

Any deficiencies that remain open on inspection reports will be added to the locations action
list for tracking until action item is closed.

Manager and employees must comply with request of regulatory agencies, as per legislation,
and notify direct supervisor of the details of requests and entire location visit. It is
recommended that Manager for location visited, take detailed notes on the visit.

Suggested notes would include, but limited to;

- Date & Time, arrival and departures
- Name of person, and agency or contractor represented
- Questions asked by the visitor
- Requests made by visitor
- Interactions with employees, including meetings held
- Materials and documents reviewed or provided
- Deficiencies discussed, and actions taken

Above details should remain on location, and copy provided to direct supervisor upon request.

The same above approach applies to prime contractor inspections.

When regulatory agency inspections occur, ensure prime contractor is immediately notified
and inspection reports are provided, upon approval by direct supervisor.
