  7. FRC: Other Details • Except as noted in the next bullet point, fire-resistant rainwear certified by the supplier must be worn over the FRC as the outermost garment during rainy weather as necessary. • Chemical suits or other special protective clothing may be worn over FRC as the outermost garment when doing especially wet/dirty jobs which may impair the protective properties of the FRC within a short time, or when there is potential for chemical exposure based on information from a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) or other source related to work being performed. • Personnel who travel to offshore locations are not required to wear FRC on the helicopter or boat. Communication Roll-Out HSE0078 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements Rev. 2.0

  8. FRC: Other Details • Initial Implementation: UAD GoM employees will be allowed 2 sets of FRC (coverall and/or pant shirt combination) with 1 jacket during this 1st order. • Delivery: FRC orders will be delivered to the employees’ homes within 3 weeks for stock items and within 7 weeks for non-stock items (such as women’s garments or extra large sized FRC). • Subsequent Need: Every year thereafter, employees will be allowed to order another 2 sets of FRC based on need and upon approval from your supervisor. We are not anticipating employees needing a jacket every year. A subset of our employees (such as deck operators, mechanics, electricians, etc.) may need more than 2 sets of FRC per year but we will leave this decision to the supervisor’s discretion. • NFPA 2112-compliant FRC must be purchased (with supervisor approval) by UAD-GoM employees through the approved Shell vendor using this order form. For reimbursement, employees must use HSE0078-PR01-T0.05 FRC Reimbursement Form. Communication Roll-Out HSE0078 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) Requirements Rev. 2.0

  9. FRC: Other Details • If any UAD-GoM employee does not get a chance to order FRC on the designated order days, they may also purchase them through the approved Shell vendor using this order form. • Non-UAD Shell employees (P&T, UA staff that support UAD, etc.) may choose to order their FRC during the designated order days, but they must provide a method of payment (purchase order or credit card). • UAD contractors (long- and short-term) shall provide their own FRC which meets NFPA 2112. • Laundering: For any employees that have occasions to launder FRC at their homes, follow the care instructions for home laundering.
