This Annexure to the Saudi Aramco Marine Department Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is a docu-
mented operational plan for how the Saudi Aramco Marine department will mitigate, respond and
move to the Business Continuity Phase if required to continue providing services to the organization
when there is a widespread outbreak of a life-threatening, and infectious disease (COVID19). The
Marine Department will protect employees and contractors minimizing the transfer of infectious
diseases that results in, or could lead to, a significant business disruption, loss, or emergency. MD
will commit resources to ensure safety of its personnel and minimize impact to Saudi Aramco busi-
ness relying on Marine Services.

1.1 Purpose
The purpose of this instruction is to establish a procedure for response to the COVID19 virus
emergencies that is anticipated to occur within the offshore and onshore marine environ-
ment. This instruction will explain the various types of potential responses.

1.2 Scope

2.0 “COVID19” EMERGENCY REPORTING


2.1 Symptoms
According to the WHO common signs of infection include:

• Respiratory symptoms
• Fever
• Cough
• Shortness of breath
• Breathing difficulties

In more severe cases, infection can cause pneumonia, severe acute respiratory syndrome,
kidney failure and even death. Infection from humans to humans may occur during the in-
cubation period (before persons show signs of sickness). Coronavirus can cause more se-
vere symptoms in people with weakened immune systems, older people, and those with
long-term conditions like diabetes, cancer, heart disease and chronic lung disease.

All employees should report any suspected symptoms of the COVID-19 novel virus to
the Marine Shift Superintendent in order that necessary emergency response and
business continuity arrangements can be implemented. Please make sure all infor-
mation in Declaration Form (Appendix D) is available.

The Marine Shift Superintendent can be contacted by:

7.0 Sources of Information


The JHAH.com COVID-19 webpage provides health education and awareness material in
Arabic and English, as well as links to trusted third parties, such as the World Health Or-
ganization (WHO). Also refer to the JHAH weekly COVID-19 email updates.

7.1 General Information


A no handshake policy and customary greetings that require contact should be avoided dur-
ing the COVID19 crisis. Employees should also consider the need for face-to-face meetings
and larger gatherings of people and consider alternative methods such as conference calls
or video conferencing.

Whilst most external conferences are being cancelled or postponed, external conferences
should be avoided if possible or if attendance is required, this should be authorized by the
Marine HR Unit. If employees do attend, a fourteen (14) day quarantine may be required or
until medical clearance has been provided (JHAH and Government Agency Requirement).
Internal conferences/trainings/meetings and events should be reviewed in context with the
travel, business need, and ability to reschedule at a later date.

7.2 Communication Protocol


Communication will be either informational or directive and will come from:

 John Hopkins
 Marine Department Manager and/or/ Human Resources Unit
 Corporately.

Marine Department recommends not sharing information from un-approved sources.

7.3 Business Continuity Requirements

7.3.1 Business Continuity Activation Triggers:

The decision to activate this Departmental Business Continuity Plan should be dictated by
the incident’s impact, or potential impact, on the Aramco business. A scenario constitutes
an activation trigger if:

 Its impact caused or can cause a disruption of IS Services that affects Aramco busi-
ness at a scale that justifies activation per the SACCP crisis levels dictated in Section
7.5 of the Business Continuity Plan; and,

9|Page

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use


COVID19 Emergency Response Plan
10
 The disruption is anticipated to last longer than the business-defined Recovery Time
Objectives (RTOs).

Activation triggers include, but are not limited to, the following scenarios:
 Work location is unavailable
 Network is unavailable
 Infrastructure is unavailable
 Application is unavailable
 MD Personnel are unavailable or cannot perform their work

The three highlighted scenarios are the most credible during the COVID 19 crisis.

minimum the definition of a suspect case of COVID-19, the definition of close
contacts, and an isolation plan describing the following aspects:
• The location(s) where suspect cases should be isolated individually until
disembarkation and transfer to a health care facility, this should if possible
be well ventilated with an open window.
• Necessary communications between units/personnel (medical, housekeep-
ing, laundry, room service, etc.) alerting personnel about the person/s in
isolation.
• Medical management of the suspect case/s whilst on board.
• Cleaning and disinfection procedures of potentially contaminated areas in-
cluding the isolation locations.
• Management of the identification of close contacts of the suspect/ case
• Procedure to collect suspect should a medical emergency present
• Provision of food service, waste management, laundry, utensils to the iso-
lated person/s.

13 | P a g e

Saudi Aramco: Company General Use


COVID19 Emergency Response Plan
14
All crew shall be familiar with the plan. If it is determined that there is a
suspect case of COVID-19 on board, the outbreak management plan on board
should be activated. The suspect case should be instructed to immediately
wear a medical mask and follow cough etiquette and practice hand hygiene
and be isolated in a pre-defined isolation location with the door closed. The
master of the vessel must immediately inform Marine Shift Superintendent of
any suspect case of COVID-19.

The Marine Manager will make the final decision whether to quarantine the
entire vessel.

8.3.2.2 Vessels and crews

Adherence to the following recommendations should a suspected case or


cases be on board:
• Suspected case is to be placed in a well ventilated room with toilet and
limited to this room until disembarkation.
• No crew should enter this room unless it is an emergency and if required
should maintain a distance of 1.5m from the suspected case
• Assign one person (care giver) who is in good health and has no underlying
chronic or immunocompromising conditions to monitor the room
• Perform hand hygiene after any type of contact with patients or their im-
mediate environment. Hand hygiene should also be performed before and
after preparing food, before eating, after using the toilet and whenever
hands look dirty. If hands are not visibly dirty, an alcohol-based hand rub
should be utilized. For visibly dirty hands, use soap and water.
• When washing hands with soap and water, it is preferable to use disposable
paper towels to dry hands.
• To contain respiratory secretions, a medical mask should be provided to
the patient and is to be worn at all times.
• Materials used to cover the mouth and nose should be discarded or cleaned
appropriately after use, and they are singular use.
• Caregivers should wear a tightly fitted medical mask that covers their
mouth and nose when in the same room as the patient. Masks should not
be touched or handled during use. If the mask gets wet or dirty from se-
cretions, it must be replaced immediately with a new clean, dry mask.
Remove the mask using the appropriate technique – that is, do not touch
the front, but instead untie it. Discard the mask immediately after use and
perform hand hygiene.
• Avoid direct contact with body fluids, particularly oral or respiratory se-
cretions, and stool. Use disposable gloves and a mask when providing oral
or respiratory care and when handling stool, urine and other waste. Per-
form hand hygiene before and after removing gloves and the mask.
• Do not reuse masks or gloves
• Use dedicated linen and eating utensils for the patient; these items should
be cleaned with soap and water after use and may be re-used instead of
being discarded.
• Clean and disinfect daily surfaces that are frequently touched in the room
where the patient is being cared for, such as bedside tables, bedframes

and other bedroom furniture. Regular household soap or detergent should
be used first for cleaning, and then, after rinsing, regular household disin-
fectant containing 0.5% sodium hypochlorite (i.e., equivalent to 5000 pm
or 1 part bleach5 to 9 parts water) should be applied.
• Clean and disinfect bathroom and toilet surfaces at least once daily. Reg-
ular household soap or detergent should be used first for cleaning, and
then, after rinsing, regular household disinfectant.
• Clean the patient’s clothes, bed linen, and bath and hand towels using reg-
ular laundry soap and water or machine wash at 60–90 °C with common
household detergent, and dry thoroughly. Place contaminated linen into a
laundry bag. Do not shake soiled laundry and avoid contaminated materials
coming into contact with skin and clothes.
• Gloves and protective clothing (e.g., plastic aprons) should be used when
cleaning surfaces or handling clothing or linen soiled with body fluids. De-

(Assess risk [severity and probability of occurrence] and assign a ranking to prioritize scenarios.)

03/12/20 - There have been cases reported in industry but not in the company, with people suffering
minor health effects affecting work. There have been high fatalities in the demographic age group
65+, specific to those with pre-existing, heart and lung disease as well as those with chronic illness and
low immune systems. The risk is dynamic and claimed as a pandemic and must be frequently re-as-
sessed.
