TO: ALL APACHE CONTRACTORS

RE: EH&S -APACHE CONTRACTOR SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

Dear Valued Contractor:

Apaches Central Region is pleased to announce its new Contractor Safety ManagementSystem (CSMS). This new system promises to improve over-all safety performance,

lower operating costs and protect human life, company property and the environment.

To assist us in this effort, Apache has retained the services of PEC/Premier SafetyManagement (PEC/Premier).

PEC/Premier will collect all data necessary to our cause and will work with ourcontractors toward achieving our goals. In these regards, your attention to the following

is required:

1. Before a contractor can provide services or equipment on an Apache location,their safety records must be reviewed and acceptable. To facilitate this process,

you must contact PEC/Premier to complete a Standardized Safety

Questionnaire (SSQ). Contractors interested in continuing work for the ApacheCentral Region should complete the SSQ by not later than November 30, 2011.

Contractors who have already completed an SSQ for PEC/Premier can simply

release their SSQ to Apache.

(Note: Essential contact information is provided in Attachment A.)

2. Once the SSQ is completed, you will be required to update the SSQ quarterly,

or at any time significant changes to statistical data or procedural standards have

taken or will take place.

3. Contractors must comply with OSHA safety training requirements. Workers

who are assigned to perform services on Apache locations (drilling, constructionor production) will have their training records reviewed for compliance.

4. The Apache Central Region now requires, at a minimum, SafelandUSAaccredited orientation or some equivalent thereoffor all personnel arriving onan Apache location. The costs for SafelandUSA orientation of the contractors

personnel will be borne by the contractor. PEC/Premier can help you with this

requirement. (Please see Attachments II and III for information about Safeland

5. Apache is requiring copies of your companys EMR and OSHA documents.

If you have a Contractor Assistance Program (CAP), please upload the

documents into the General Incident Safety Statistics of the SSQ. If you do nothave a CAP subscription, please forward the documents to

[email protected]. Your email subject line should reference Apache/(your company name) and name of attached documents.

a. Submit OSHA 300 and 300A forms for 2010, 2009, 2008: The information on

the OSHA documents must match the General Safety Incident Statisticssection in your SSQ.

b. Submit EMR forms for 2010, 2009, 2008: This is a form or letter from your

Workmens Compensation Insurance Company. This information must alsomatch the General Safety Incident Statistics section in your SSQ.

6. Apache will not require you to participate in the CAP but participation can bevery beneficial and is thus highly recommended. To list one benefit, the CAP

program can help with the development and management of your safety program.

Cost of participation in the program is offset with built in discounts throughOffice Depot, Hagemeyer, 3E and other participating vendors. (For further
