Learning from events
Learning from what has happened
IOGP has been collecting safety performance indicators since 1985 and fatal incidient descriptions since 1991. The entire database is searchable, including causal factor data.
Our safety alerts are also searchable. E&P organisations, regulators and suppliers are invited to submit details of new safety alerts for inclusion in the IOGP database.

This report describes some of the components an organization might consider if it wants to improve how it learns from operating experience to reduce risk and prevent incidents.
There are many different opinions on what is required to successfully learn from events. Many companies are on a journey to improve learning from events, and may be currently focusing on particular areas.
This report provides a survey of the practice and experience in IOGP member companies. Member companies can use this to decide whether there are additional working practices that they might benefit from adopting. It is not intended to be a standard and does not recommend a particular approach.
