Corporate
HIV-AIDS Policy




Protection of the health, safety and welfare of all persons involved in Saipem Company activities whether
employed directly or as subcontractors represents a key aim that ranks equally with our other primary
business objectives.
SAIPEM recognizes the criticality of HIV-AIDS (Human Immunodeficiency Virus-Acquired Immunodeficiency
Syndrome) as a worldwide medical problem and is aware that international oil and gas activity could
contribute to the spread of the disease.
We also recognize that an effective definitive cure for the disease does not yet exist. Accordingly we must
pay particular attention to comprehensive preventive measures, first of all, by highlighting risky behavior and
by teaching and encouraging personnel to change it.
SAIPEMs policy for the prevention of HIV infection and improving the quality of life of those already infected
or ill, involves following:

Implementation of Program for the Prevention of Sexually Transmitted Disease and HIV-AIDS based on
appropriate information, and encouraging development of adequate behavior.
Free, voluntary, individual testing.
Guaranteeing access of all personnel to reliable medical facilities to implement screening of all biological
products used in treatment and diagnostics.
Not discriminating in any way against persons who are HIV positive, either during their work or in social
contacts.
Respecting the privacy of all persons by strictly adhering to the established legal requirements, medical
ethics and acceptable deontological practices.
Providing counseling and access to the best medical care, to those infected with the HIV
