1.0 INTRODUCTION

This document represents the Operational Framework for the Osprey Powerboat
Rescue Team (The Osprey Team). This Framework covers those areas necessary to
ensure that The Team is compliant with current relevant legislation for the activities it
undertakes both in the United Kingdom (UK) and abroad. Other laws may exist in
different countries however as the UK has some of the most stringent safety laws the
Framework should cover all but special instructions in any country visited.

As a limited company the Osprey Team have obligations under law that must be
addressed, therefore the introduction of this document into the company's modus
operandi covers more than the minimum requirement for compliance.

2.0 MANAGEMENT STRUCTURE

The management structure of the Osprey Team is not a hierarchical one but more a
cooperative of equals. This structure requires modifying to take into account the areas
described within this document. Each area must be "managed" by a competent
Suitably Qualified Person (SQEP) with support from within the team as necessary.

There are certain areas within the framework that require individual authority
delegation from the "Management Board" in order to accomplish their responsibilities
and therefore must be issued with a letter of "Delegation of Authority" to have that
authority. A template to this end is contained in the personnel files and shall be
modified and issued as appropriate.

3.0 TECHNICAL AUTHORITY

At this time there is no recognised individual Technical Authority. The Osprey Team
contains several differing Technical Specialists who work together to ensure that
technical matters are covered. An overall Technical Authority must be developed in
order to create the library of products and services that require oversight by this
authority.

Within this authority there will be sub responsibilities such as maintenance, inspection,
and design and product acceptance.
