Appendix 2. Determination ofindividual surveillance systems for each exemplar withK=10 individuals and detection power ≥0.8, using appropriate surveillance system components (SSCs) with characteristics assessed by experts.

The detection capability of the SSC unit is indicated by detection probability given presence (σ); F is the sampling fraction covered by one SSC unit;

utility of SSC is defined as a function of the relative costs, σ, the sampling fraction and the relative risk of the zone in which the SSC is situated (Barrett et al. 2009). Sampling frame refers to integrated risk zones of the surveillance system deployment map in Figure 2 and deployment is across localities including; (A) Construction camp, (B) Airport, (C) LNG plant, (D)Horizontal Direct Drilling site, (E) Marine Offloading Facility (MOF), (F) Barge landing, (G) Existing camp, and (H) Oilfield base. Risk Zones 1 to 3 are indicated by Z1, Z2 and Z3.Engaged worker consists of incidental sightings made by trained workers, passive worker refers to incidental sightings made by untrained workers; workers spend the majority of their time in Zone 1. Total power of individual surveillance systems in bold. Numbers of SSCs have been capped to deal with logistical constraints, in particular Passive workers has been capped at 4000.
