Environmental, Health and Safety Requirements

Gulfport Contractor Expectations

Gulfport requires all contractors to comply with its Environmental, Health & Safety (EHS) policies, standards and guidelines. Contractors shall implement written EHS, drug and alcohol, emergency preparedness policies, and procedures applicable to work on Gulfport sites.

If you are selected and approved to work for Gulfport as a contractor, you will be required to subscribe to ISNetworld. Gulfport uses various criteria, including, but not limited to, the Master Service Agreements (MSA), Review and Verification service (RAVs), evaluations, and training, to score contractors. Gulfport requires a “C” dashboard grade as a minimum requirement. For information on Gulfport’s requirements, contact ISN at 800.976.1303 or by email at GulfportISNTeam@isn.com

General Orientation and Training Requirements

Gulfport expects all vendors to complete an industry recognized orientation program (ie. Safeland, IADC’s HSE Rig Pass) prior to starting work. The OSHA 10 Hour orientation is another acceptable training program as long as the elective and optional components address the key job hazards that may occur on Gulfport’s work sites. Contractors’ equivalent, in-house safety orientations may be acceptable as long as they include the topics covered in the Safeland syllabus and are approved by Gulfport prior to starting work on our sites. A list of those courses are outlined below.

Gulfport-Specific Orientation Requirements

Gulfport requires that all contractors providing safety sensitive work review the following training material prior to working on a Gulfport site:

• Gulfport Contractor Orientation
• Gulfport’s Twelve Work Safe Rules
• Writing Powerful JSA’s

Contractors will receive a hard hat sticker upon completion that will be valid for three years. Contractors failing to comply with these conditions could result in removal from location until requirements are met. Gulfport EHS will be routinely inspecting hard hat stickers and / or completion of training records through ISN to ensure compliance.

The training material can be found and viewed on your ISNetworld account. For any questions, please contact ISN at GulfportISNTeam@isn.com.

ISN training tools guidance documents include:

• ISN’s Online Training Tool
• ISN ID Card Step by Step Guide – Upload Employee Photo
• ISN Card Request Process

Drug, Alcohol and Substance Abuse

Gulfport is committed to maintaining a drug, alcohol and weapons free workplace. Contractors are required to have a written drug and alcohol program that complies with Gulfport’s policies and federal, state, local and when applicable, the U.S. Department of Transportation regulations. At a minimum, a contractors’ program shall provide pre-employment, random, reasonable suspicion, and post incident testing.

Gulfport utilizes the services of TPS Alert to perform program routine audits of our contractors’ drug and alcohol programs.

Weapons

Various state laws allow individuals to keep legally obtained and possessed firearms in their locked personal vehicles in employer parking areas. Gulfport recognizes that individuals do have the right to possess firearms in their “locked” personal vehicle. Failure to comply could result in the removal of that individual from the work site.

Code of Conduct

Non-Retaliation Policy

Any retaliatory acts, or the threat of retaliatory acts, against any employee, supplier or contractor for reporting, in good faith, known or suspected misconduct, or for participating in the investigation of a report will not be tolerated. Examples of retaliatory acts include dismissal, discipline, demotion, or mistreatment. We will make every effort to protect the confidentiality of reports of concerns and the identities of those who make reports or participate in an investigation. However, there may be instances when, due to the nature of an investigation or certain legal requirements, it is necessary to disclose someone’s identity. In those instances, we will work closely with the reporting individual to address any questions or concerns.
