Description
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) has been collecting safety incident data from its Member Companies globally since 1985. The data collected are entered into the IOGP safety database, which is the largest database of safety performance in the exploration and production (E&P) industry.
The principal purpose of the data collection and analysis is to record the global safety performance of the contributing IOGP Member Companies on an annual basis. The submission of data is voluntary and is not mandated by IOGP Membership. The annual reports provide trend analysis, benchmarking, and the identification of areas and activities on which efforts should be focused to bring about the greatest improvements in performance.
The IOGP incident reporting system covers worldwide E&P operations, both onshore and offshore, and includes incidents involving both Member Companies and their contractor employees.
The IOGP definition of fatality and permanent impairment injury (FPI) was first published in 2022. Report 2023f summarises actual FPI data submitted by Member Companies participating in the data collection programme for the years 2022 and 2023. 3.3 billion hours of data from 58 companies were analysed.
The key indicators presented are:
- number of fatalities
- number of permanent impairment injuries
- fatal accident rate
- fatality and permanent impairment rate
- permanent impairment rate
The analysis presents contributing IOGP Members’ global results for these indicators, which are then analysed by permanent impairment category, cause and activity, Life-Saving Rule, body part injured and nature of injury, region, and company.
