Health, Safety and Environmental Policy Statement

Faroe Petroleum is committed to high standards of health, safety and environmental performance across its business. Protection of the environment and the health and safety of our employees and all those affected by our business is critical to the overall success of our company.

Faroe Petroleum's defining policies have been developed from the best practices of other leaders in the field. The Company expects that its suppliers and partners share the same values and objectives.

 - all injuries and occupational illnesses are preventable
 - all operating exposures can be controlled
 - working safely is a condition of employment
 - employees must receive safety training
 - safety performance must be audited
 - all deficiencies must be corrected promptly
 - people are the most important element in an effective safety, health and    environmental programme
 - off-the-job safety is an important part of the safety effort

Health Policy
The Company's occupational health programme shall protect employees from health hazards that may be associated with the Company's work and the working environment. The Company shall be active in health promotion, aiming at preventing health risks associated with the general living environment and life style. The Company's policy on health is to ensure:
