1. INTRODUCTION

ASCO Australia has successfully rolled out the ASCO integrated management system (AIMS) that is used for all ASCO

operations world-wide the system was built around ISO9001 which ASCO Australia Achieved August 2012. It is proposed

that the same AIMS framework will be utilised for the Marine Supply Base a fundamental part of the AIMS is

compliance with all Health and Safety Requirements.

The AIMS system uses risk-based quality management techniques to ensure compliance without the need for specific

go/no go decision trees. The quality surveillance of AIMS is done through a series of meetings, KPI’s, internal and

external audits, and agreed corrective actions through the service improvement document (SID) process. Progress is

monitored through the management meeting cycle. The whole management system is assessed and audited.

ASCO Australia operate under the philosophy that Quality Management is an integral part of our business management

structure, with the fundamental aim of providing a service that meets and exceeds customer requirements.

ASCO Australia’s commitment to Quality Management is laid down in the ASCO HSEQ Policy Statement which is the

keystone of how ASCO and worldwide ASCO controlled operations conduct their operations.

The framework to which ASCO Australia operates is the ASCO Integrated Management System (AIMS). This is comprised

of 16 elements which make up the AIMS Business Management Manual. This AIMS Business Management Manual is the

top level document for all ASCO Group companies and locations. It shall project a set of minimum standards, which

provides ASCO Australia personnel with guidance in meeting the principles of good business management.

The minimum standards laid down in the AIMS Manual are supported by documented operating procedures and work

instructions, which define how processes and activities are managed and planned arrangements achieved.

2. Training & Competence

The competence of all ASCO Australia staff is ascertained and measured through a number of processes, namely our

business management system (AIMS) and through adherence to HR policies on Training and Development. In addition,

the ASCO Australia Advance (appraisal) process, performance management system and skills / competency matrices are

utilised.

ASCO “Arrival” is the 13 Week Induction programme for all new employees within ASCO Australia. The Arrival process

covers four areas they are, the site safety measures that is covered on arrival then the line manager, HSEQ and HR

induction

ASCO Australia training and regulatory training takes place as part of the induction process and as part of the ongoing

training and development needs of both the individuals and the company. Updates are provided through management

and safety meetings, LiveSafe Communications and safety campaigns. Updates are posted at all ASCO Australia sites

and on the ASCO intranet.

Selection of new employees includes a review of existing knowledge and experience, and an evaluation of training

requirements for safe integration into ASCO Australia operations. This will include the checking of any training records

or certificates the individuals might already possess. All employees are required to attend both company and site

induction training. Furthermore at the recruitment stage, all employees are subject to a pre-employment medical which

includes alcohol and drug screening.


3. Key Deliverables

Key deliverables applicable to the Marine Supply Base have been identified, agreed by Stakeholders and have been

implemented within Marine Supply Base operations. These key deliverables will be monitored. The objective will be to

ensure Quality objectives to be reviewed regularly, with the aim of delivering the highest possible level of service within

the Marine Supply Base.

procedures relative to the work to ensure effective execution. When developing new procedures we will look to blend

our existing best practices from other operations.

6. Inspection Testing

The marine supply Base will utilise the onsite Maintenance matrix to ensure all plant and equipment associated with

the facility is maintained as per facility operational manuals and agreements with Darwin Port Corporation.

All maintenance and inspections will be logged and tracked utilising the DPC Maintenance expert system (MEX) as per

AAMSBP048, all inspections out with this will utilise the onsite plant register as per AAMSB046

7. Third Party Contractor Approval

Consultation has and will take place between ASCO Australia and Stakeholders in order to achieve an approved Third

Party Contractor list for Marine Supply Base activates, this list will comply with ASCO Australia standards and approval

process. The approved sub contractor list will be audited for performance and HSEQ as per audit schedule. And reports

will be available to Stakeholders on request. Additional audits can take place as deemed necessary by ASCO Australia or

stakeholders.

8. Contractor Pre-Order Activities - Selected “Quality” Suppliers

The selection of vendors and third party contractors is based upon their ability to meet or exceed standards associated

with Marine Supply Base Activates. ASCO Australia seeks mutually beneficial relationships with all Vendors and operates

under the principles of free competition. Except where goods or services are required from original equipment

manufacturers, (OEM’s) quotations shall be obtained in accordance with ASCO Australia Invitation to Tender procedure

.

Each vendor is assessed on the basis of their

scope of supply

market competitiveness

financial stability

reputation within the industry

classification/certification standards,

HSEQ management system

Past delivery performance

after sales service

Vendors failing to maintain the relevant standards shall be suspended from the vendor list and may be removed if

appropriate remedial action is not taken.


The selection and management of ASCO Australia vendors and Third Party Contractors is carried out utilizing ASCO

CARE process and include the following procedures:

Supplier Evaluation and Selection procedure

Invitation to tender procedure

Subcontract Administration

ASCO Australia adheres to the ASCO Contractor Assessment & Risk Evaluation (CARE) initiative,

which we use to gauge the level of HSEQ management within our various contractors. Although we

have always assessed our contractors or service providers, the CARE initiative builds upon that

through five key stages. In the first instance, all contractors are required to complete a thorough

questionnaire that looks at how HSEQ is managed within their organisation. Based upon the risk imported into ASCO

Australia, the contractor is then likely to receive a CARE Audit, conducted by ASCO Australia HSEQ. The audit looks

deeper into the management of health and safety within the company, and will also focus upon quality management

specific to the work they do for ASCO Australia within the Marine Supply Base. The third key stage is the approval

process. If the questionnaire and audit are satisfactory, the contractor will become CARE Approved, and will receive a

certificate to substantiate this. If areas for improvement are identified during the first two stages, these will be fed back

to the contractor management, who will then be given the opportunity to address these areas, and if required,

guidance on how to address them. This is one of the areas which we believe makes CARE & ASCO Australia stand out

from the crowd, in that we want to work with our contractors to achieve high standards in HSEQ management. The

following stage relates largely to those service provides permanently based on an ASCO Australia facility – the

contractor induction. This will ensure that all contractor personnel have been introduced to ASCO Australia Marine

Supply Base site rules, policies and procedures, and are fully aware of the high standards required. The final stage, once

CARE Approval has been granted and work has commenced, are Review Meetings. These will take place between the

contractor and key users of the service, with a view to address any service issues as promptly as possible. Guidance on

Review meetings and problem resolution refer to ASCO Australia procedure SAPP003 contract management

9. Document Control

All documents used for the execution of the Marine Supply Base will be controlled. Completed MSB related hard copy

documents will be maintained in a secure and protected environment backed up electronically in line with best practice

principals. Record retention details will be available to Stakeholders on request.

10. Quality Audits

ASCO Australia view internal audits as a fundamental process within the philosophy of continual improvement, As such

we operate an internal audit schedule which at present ensures that each business area including the Marine Supply

Base is audited on an annual basis. Internal audits are performed by ASCO core Management and HSSEQ Department.

The internal audit schedule is developed by taking into consideration the status and importance of areas to be audited.

This method will take into account previous audit findings, incident frequency, service failure frequency etc. to

determine which areas within the Marine Supply Base are priorities for audit.

ASCO Australia adheres to the ASCO procedure in place in relation to internal audits, HSEQP002.

Independent verification and certification will be welcomed as and when required by Stakeholders


11. Change Control

ASCO Australia will utilize the Management of Change procedure for significant changes during Marine Supply Base

operational period. The procedure includes guidance on identification of changes that needs to be managed followed

by initial and formal review. This is followed by an approval stage, commissioning and implementation, and a 3-month

follow up.

12. Non-conformance & Corrective Action

The Service Improvement Document (SID) system is the foundation of the ASCO Australia process of addressing non-

conforming product or service. Issues raised internally or externally, that has the potential to impact the Marine Supply

Base operational activates or that has resulted in a service failure or a customer complaint is addressed through this

system. Through the SID system issues are documented and recorded formally, and assigned to a relevant party for full

investigation. Subsequently, corrective and preventive actions are implemented to eliminate reoccurrence. In addition,

the ASCO HSEQ database is used to categorise the SIDs and this is used for trend analysis and subsequent sharing

throughout ASCO companies worldwide. If it is the case that a Third Party Contractor is consistently failing to address

SID related issues, then Third Party Contractor will be subject to notice, and a process through our CARE system will be

initiated to replace non-performing Third Party Contractor.

13. Compliance with Legislative & Other Requirements

ASCO Australia have a Register of Legal, Regulation and Other Requirements include appropriate codes and standards

relevant to Marine Supply Base activities performed, and services provided In line with the ASCO procedure HSEQP040.

The register lists the pertinent sections of the standard and also details what ASCO Australia is required to do to

comply.

ASCO Australia also has developed an Environmental Aspects Register in line with the ASCO Procedure HSEQP043; the

register will identifies and control environmental impacts arising from marine Supply Base Activities.

The ASCO Australia HSSEQ Department performs Evaluations of Compliance on a monthly basis, to ensure that the

appropriate standards are being complied with all marine supply base activities. All relevant changes to legislation in

regards activates will be made available to partners on request.

14. Minimum Standard

The minimum standards laid down in the AIMS Manual are supported by documented operating procedures and work

instructions, which define how processes and activities are managed and planned arrangements achieved. There are

three levels of procedures with our Management System structure:

Red Procedures - Red procedures are generally associated with Corporate Framework requirements and are mandatory

procedures across all ASCO Group companies. Changes to these procedures require Executive level approval.

Amber Procedures - Amber procedures generally reflect the way we conduct our operational activities. They are

mandatory procedures within each ASCO Company or Business Unit. Changes to these procedures require Senior

Manager Approval.

Green Procedures - Green procedures are Work Instructions, Guidance Notes, etc, which do not require following line

by line providing the overall objective or results are attained. Changes require Departmental Manager approval.


15. Material of goods Quality Assurances

Requisitions or request for provisions of supply or service requirements for the Marine Supply Base a plan of action will

be developed to assess all components to specific quality controls. ASCO Australia will also recommend alternative

products or changes if we feel they may be of benefit to Marine Supply Base Operations.

16. Review

The Marine Supply Base Quality Management Plan will be reviewed bi - annually; the plan may be reviewed sooner due

to ASCO Australia or Stakeholders request or concerns. ASCO Australia Management and Stakeholders will be given the

opportunity to input content during such reviews. All plans will be distributed in accordance with the ASCO Australia

Document Control procedure and all updated version of the plans will be located within ASCO Australia AIMS
