5. The NGC Group in Guyana 01 • NGC aspires to be a leading practitioner in culture of HSSE Excellence and is willing to share its knowledge and practices with developing companies in Guyana • The fully integrated services of the entire NGC Group is available for sharing with the developing industry in Guyana. • NGC Group through its subsidiary National Energy is progressing towards opening an office in Georgetown before the end of 2019

7. Challenges with evolution of Industry 02 • Service companies to provide proof of their competent workforce to the operating companies Lack of participation in the energy sector by local contractorsdue to the many different HSE prequalification requirements in the industry Lack of basic HSE awareness of the contractors providing services to the PLEA member companies ISSUES • Develop a T&T competency assurance system for the sector, increase the capacity of the National Training Agency and support local service companies to become certified assessment centres Create a uniform HSE industry requirements to pre-qualify contractors & a system to certify contractors who meet the HSE requirements Implement a contractor safety passport system as evidence of successful completion of the required HSE training SOLUTION Technical Competency Development Safe To Work (STOW) PLEA Pass-Card

8. Advantages • Immediate training & assessment results • Results immediately stored on secure database housed by the Houston Area Safety Council • Immediate issue of PLEA Card with photo ID 03 What is the PLEA Pass-card? • All data easily retrieved using the PLEA card • Electronic gate check linked to the database to validate of individual’s certification • A Uniform requirement across the downstream energy industry sector for managing contractor workforce risk • A Computerbased training and assessment to ensure contractor employees have basic HSE knowledge to work safely at operating company facilities • Card cannot be issued unless the candidate is successfully assessed • Can be administered in any language (easier for foreign nationals to pass the assessment) • Processes more than 20,000 assessments annually Operational Model Barcode accesses individual record from secure server • Individual issued picture ID card, with barcode and course validity • Gate check to determine validity of certification before entering operating company facility Computer based Training and assessment

9. Advantages • Efficiency in the pre-qualification process • Initial Screening of Contractors: Assurance that minimum HSE management systems (MS) are in place • Risk Reduction: STOW audits encourage discipline among contractors to maintain their HSE-MS • Strengthening of contractors’ HSE MS esp. smaller contractors • Reduction in accidents & Incidents • Improved overall HSE performance in the energy sector • What is STOW (Safe TO Work)? 03 • Industry-wide certification system for managing contractor risk • Industry led and managed • Easily replicable across the region • A STOW certified contractor has demonstrated that the company has in place, minimum HSE MS requirements: Policies & procedures, Records & other evidence & Employee knowledge, acceptable to the major clients in the energy sector Operating Company A Pre-qual. Requirements Operating Company B Pre-qual. Requirements Operating Company C Pre-qual. Requirements 21 Operating Companies utilize STOW Requirements After STOW Before STOW HSE docs for prequalification STOW Certificate HSE docs for prequalification Contractor Contractor HSE docs for prequalification • Result: • Streamlined system to prequalify contractors across the energy industry • Local contractors have increased ability to prequalify for work • Result: • Limited local contractor participation

10. 03 STOW: Achievements • Over 630 contracting companies audited and certified to date • Build capacity for HSE professionals: 39 Assessors certified and conducting STOW audits • Improved HSE compliance among contracting companies: Over 80% of companies now attain 2-year certification instead of 1 year • Effective Board in place to govern the programme, comprised of senior industry HSE professionals/ executives Before After

12. Advisories Boards (NESC, UTT, UWI) • Scholarships/Bursaries offered • Technical Competency Development 04 • PLEA, STOW • Energy Chamber developed Technical standards with NTA • NESC executes training standard • PLEA – Electrical Sub Committee • METHANEX – training contractors using Standards • Process Safety Conference in June by PLEA • Process Safety on Curriculum
