Demands Regarding Quality General Description All of the activities of Ølen Betong AS are equally important for the total quality of all products and services that we deliver. Therefore, each single activity in the company is of particular importance, and the established goals regarding quality can only be attained if the management and the execution of all our activities at all levels are in harmony with the general principles and the layout that are described in the Ølen Betong QA Systems. The Ølen Betong QA Systems are developed in order to ensure that our products and services are in accordance with the concept of quality, as defined in NS-EN ISO-9001, but they have a design that is adapted to our established structure. We point out that the structure of the QA Manual is general. There are separate QA plans for all major projects. In order to secure product and service quality, the main principle is that each activity is to be implemented in a controlled way, and that each employee is responsible for the quality of his or her own work. The fundamental elements are: - Identification of demands - Planning - Execution - Control / documentation In order to ensure that the final products are in accordance with expectations, and to perform control checks of them, we have established detailed requirements for the production, which will be carried out using the appropriate resources and qualified personnel in an adapted organisation. There are established rules for the treatment of non-conformities and modification, and there are established demands for how one is to attend to and make use of the experience one gathers in a systematic way. Monitoring and supervision of how the entire QA systems functions in all areas takes place through quality revisions, for which there are specified guidelines.

The QA Systems General Description The basic objectives of Ølen Betong AS in preparing the QA systems have been to build a system according to existing routines, to incorporate new or better routines where these have been required, while at the same time not amassing unmanageable quantities of paper. A fundamental requirement is that the amount of documentation resulting from the QA systems is to be used constructively such that experiences and results are brought to light and learnt from. Furthermore, a significant part of the objectives is drafted such that reports derived from the quantities of documents are to be related to what has been attained previously, and these can be used to achieve the best possible operational routines. It is also a firm fundamental idea that the QA system is designed in a way that it, in sum, will provide the various companies with enhanced safety, better solutions, and increased earning power, all in such a way that it will not be a negative factor in terms of competitiveness. We maintain that the establishment of the QA system is primarily intended to initiate and further improve solid solutions, enhanced quality, and increased productivity for ourselves while at the same time providing our customers and the authorities with the same experience. Ølen Betong QA Systems comprises five elements: Principle drawing of the QA System: 1. The Corporate Quality Manual 2. The Quality Assurance Manual 3. The Compilation of Procedures 4. The Staff Handbook 5. HES-Handbook – IC (Internal Control) - Environment This includes Environmental Management, Access Control and ISPS (Port Facility Security) Unabridged manuals and compilations of procedures have a limited circulation, but all documents are available to our departments / divisions as files on our data network. Nevertheless, the Executive Manager at each plant / department is responsible for briefing and implementation of the systems for all of the employees in each company. This includes unambiguous relations concerning the organisation, easily traceable distribution of responsibility and authority, and the development and maintenance of all tasks related to planning, procedures, and supervision. Environment Management System (EMS) The company Ølen Betong AS implemented in 2012 an Environmental Management System certified in accordance with NS-EN ISO 14001. We refer to further information on page 14. In the QA System EMS is placed under the fifth element: HES-Handbook – IC (Internal Control) - Environment Port Security - ISPS Some of the ports owned by the Ølen Betong Group, are obliged to international ISPS (Security) requirements. In 2012 this applies to the port facilities in Ølensvåg and Mølstrevåg. Documentation regarding ISPS requirements are placed in separated manuals, kept from public access. In the QA System ISPS is placed under the fifth element: HES-Handbook – IC (Internal Control) – Environment, but all documentation is classified, and only accessible for cleared personnel. 1 2 3 4 5 Project QA Plan Side - 11 -
