At this point you could highlight how any local, Business, ‘house’, or site-specific safety rules fit with
the Life-Saving Rules. Your Business many have already provided a slide for this. If not, you can either
talk about those rules to this slide or insert a slide showing an image of your Business.
Note: any ‘local’ rule which is similar in intent to a Life-Saving Rule will be retired and replaced by the

Life-Saving Rules Questions and Answers
Where did these 12 rules come from and why have they been selected?
The Rules are not new. They focus on the activities that carry the greatest potential threat of serious
injury or death to our people when safety rules are not observed. They are being enforced to ensure
that everyone who works on Shell business follows them – and gets home safely.
Does this mean that Shell has decided its safety culture is not good enough?
The performance trend over the last few years shows improvements in both fatality and serious injury
rates, and most of our people consistently comply with safety rules. But there is room to improve
compliance so we’re taking action to stop risk-taking. We don’t want any work-related deaths or
serious injuries.
What happens if a Life-Saving Rule has been broken but there has been no accident?
Disciplinary action follows once an investigation has proven a Life-Saving Rule has been broken, not
once an accident has happened. The aim is to prevent incidents and harm, not respond to them.
How will you stop the strict enforcement of Life-Saving Rules driving incident reporting
underground?
If you choose to stop reporting non-compliances you are choosing to make your workplace a more
hazardous place for yourself, your colleagues and your friends. In addition, we will continue to
positively reinforce our reporting culture. We will deal appropriately where instances of “non-
reporting” are found.
Given the current tough economic conditions, how will Shell deal with pressure on safety
compliance?
We will never compromise on safety. Our safety rules are there to be followed. Encouraging people to
ignore or break rules is unacceptable behaviour.
How will you know the Life-Saving Rules have been successful?
We will see fewer work-related deaths and serious injuries.
