Introduction and background

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 key indicators presented are:
number of fatalities
fatal accident rate
fatal incident rate
total recordable injury rate
lost time injury rate
number of lost work day cases
number of lost work days
number of restricted duty cases
restricted duty days, and
number of medical treatment cases.
The analysis presents contributing IOGP Members’ global results for these indicators, which are then
analysed by region, function and company. A code is used to preserve the anonymity of the reporting
company, which will typically report its own data as well as that of its associated contractors (see
Appendix C).
In 2010, data collection was initiated to capture 'causal factors' associated with fatal incidents and high
potential events. These data are presented in section 2.11 of this report. Wherever practicable, results are
presented graphically.
The data underlying the charts are presented in Appendix B. The causal factors and chart data are
available in editable format to logged in IOGP Members.
Narrative descriptions for the fatal incidents and high potential events selected for their learning value
that were reported by participating IOGP member companies can be found at
https://data.iogp.org/Safety/FatalIncidents and https://data.iogp.org/Safety/HighPotentialEvents
respectively.

Scope of reporting and data validation

The data requested from participating IOGP member companies are published in an annual User Guide,
which contains definitions and the scope of the safety data submission. This document is available from
the IOGP public website.
The safety data submission process is used for the collection of data relating to safety performance,
process safety performance and motor vehicle crashes. The IOGP safety database has built-in data
validation requirements and each company data submission is validated by the IOGP Secretariat and the
work group (Safety Committee, Sub-committee, Task Force or Network) responsible for the data set in
accordance with the IOGP data collection and reporting procedure. Any communication with reporting
companies is conducted by the IOGP Secretariat and any data validated by an IOGP workgroup is blind
coded to preserve the anonymity of the reporting companies.
A self-assessment questionnaire is included within the data submission process to determine the
alignment between the requested data and the company submissions. The information provided in this
questionnaire is also used in the validation process. Data that appear to be incorrect and that cannot be
confirmed by the submitting company as correct may be excluded from the data set at the discretion of
the Secretariat.
A new fatal accident category of “Dropped objects” was added from 2018 data. The category “Caught in,
under or between” was modified to exclude dropped objects.
A new incident category, 'Aviation Accident', was added to these reports beginning in 2016. Aviation
accidents were previously included in the ‘Other’ incident category.
The scope of data included within this report is detailed in Appendix A.
Data series
Other IOGP data reports published annually include:
Aviation Safety Data

Environmental Performance Indicators
Health Performance Indicators
Motor Vehicle Crash Data
Process Safety Event Data
These are available from the IOGP website http://www.iogp.org/bookstore.
Environmental Performance Indicators and the Safety Performance Indicators published in this report are
also available in electronic format in IOGP's data website at https://data.iogp.org/.

1.2. Fatalities
Against the background of a 1% decrease in work hours reported, the number of fatalities has decreased
from 31 in 2018 to 25 in 2019. The 25 fatalities occurred in 22 separate incidents. The resulting fatal
accident rate (0.82) is 19% lower than last year’s figure (1.01). The company and contractor FAR are 0.46
and 0.92 respectively. Onshore and offshore FAR are 0.78 and 0.95 respectively.
Each reported fatal incident is allocated a work activity and incident cause. With regard to the incident
cause, the largest proportion of the fatalities reported in 2019 were the result of incidents categorised as
'Caught in, under or between (excl. dropped objects)' (12 fatalities in 10 separate incidents).
Fatalities categorised as 'Exposure electrical' were the second greatest contributors to the fatality
statistics with 4 fatalities in 4 separate incidents, accounting for 16% of the fatalities.
3 fatalities were reported in 3 separate incidents that were categorised as 'Struck by (not dropped object)'
and 3 fatalities were reported in 2 separate incidents that were categorised as 'Water related, drowning'.

Contractor 1.20 0.92 23% lower
Onshore 1.02 0.78 24% lower
Offshore 0.97 0.95 2% lower
The difference between the onshore and offshore fatal accident rate (FAR) displays a large variation over
the 10-year period shown. Neither is consistently lower. This is generally attributable to single
transportation or fire and explosion incidents involving high numbers of fatalities.
All hours in the database were used for calculations of FAR.

2.3 Fatal incident rate (FIR)

The fatal incident rate (FIR) is a measure of the rate with which fatal incidents occur, in contrast to the
FAR which measures the rate of fatalities. Accordingly, for company and contractor fatalities, the FIR will
be less than or equal to the FAR. Comparison of FAR and FIR gives an indication of the magnitude of the
incidents in terms of lives lost.
Overall the FIR decreased by 18% compared with last year (22 fatal incidents in 2019, 27 fatal incidents in
2018).
All hours in the database were used for calculations of FIR.

There were 702 reported lost work day cases resulting in at least one day off work, which equates to an
average of 13 injuries resulting in at least one day off work every week of the year or 2 injuries every day
of the year.
For calculations of LTIR, all hours in the database were used. See 'LWDC Severity' for further information
on Lost Work Day Case severity.

The greatest number of incidents was reported as Slips and trips (at same height) (159 cases
accounting for 22.6% of LWDCs where the cause was given). 2018 results showed 149 cases
accounting for 19.4%).
Struck by (not dropped object)' accounted for 132 cases, 18.8% of the total (2018 results showed
141 cases accounting for 18.4%).
Caught in, under or between (excl. dropped objects)' accounted for 115 cases, 16.4% of the total
(2018 results showed 146 cases accounting for 19.0%). In comparison with 2018, the 2017 results
were very similar.
Note: dropped objects was introduced as a LWDC cause in 2019.

2.11 Causal factors

The allocation of ‘causal factors’ to fatal incidents and high potential events was requested as part of the
data submission. This request was first made in 2010, therefore a comparison of 9 years of data is
possible.
To standardise the response, an IOGP list of causal factors and a glossary was provided to the member
companies as part of the IOGP user guide. The causal factors list is divided into two sections:
People (Acts) classifications usually involve either the actions of a person or actions which were
required but not carried out or were incorrectly performed. There are four major categories of
actions, with an additional level of detail under each of the major categories.
Process (Conditions) classifications usually involve some type of physical hazard or organisational
aspect out of the control of the individual. There are five major classification categories, with an
additional level of detail under each of the major categories.
 Definitions
High potential event

Any incident or near miss that could have realistically resulted in one or more fatalities.
/ 45
2.12 Fatal incident causal factors

Causal factors are divided into two separate groups, People (Acts) and Process (Conditions), see Report
2019su Safety data reporting user guide – 2019 data and Glossary for details.
17 of the 22 fatal incidents reported were assigned causal factors (27 of 27 in 2018).
79 causal factors were assigned for the 17 fatal incidents (144 in 2018).
Between 1 and 9 causal factors were assigned per incident (between 1 and 9 in 2018 ).

2.13 High potential event causal factors

High potential events are defined as 'any incident or near miss that could have realistically resulted in one
or more fatalities'. Participating companies are invited to submit a small number of high potential event
reports and to select those with the greatest learning value. The data reported here therefore do not
represent the total number of events for the participating companies, so care should be taken in
interpreting the data presented in this section.
137 of the 140 high potential events reported were assigned causal factors (106 of 114 in 2018).
487 causal factors were assigned for the 137 high potential events (467 in 2018).
Between 1 and 10 causal factors were assigned per event (between 1 and 13 in 2018 ).

2.14 Life-Saving Rules

In 2010, IOGP released a set of ‘Life-Saving Rules’ (Report 459), intended for use by the oil and gas
industry to mitigate risk and reduce fatalities. Each IOGP Life- Saving Rule consisted of a simple icon and
descriptive text, providing clear, simple and consistent communication about risks in the workplace.
These Rules were developed by using the fatal incident and high potential event data from the 1991 to
2010 Safety Performance Indicators reports to identify the events and activities that are the highest risk
and therefore provide clear instructions on how to avoid them.
In 2018, IOGP re-examined the applicability of the 2010 Rules against the most recent fatality data. With
the 2018 revision of Report 459, IOGP launched a simplified set of Life-Saving Rules (Figure 41) to provide
workers in the industry with the actions they can take to protect themselves and their colleagues from
fatalities. With a reduced number of rules (9 reduced from 18), but still covering a similar scope, IOGP
aims to improve the level of industry-wide adoption across the global oil and gas industry.
/ 50
Figure 41: Life-Saving Rules (from IOGP Report 459)
Assessment of the applicability of the IOGP Life-Saving Rules to fatal incident descriptions for 2019 data
has shown that at least 86% of the fatal incidents reported are covered by the IOGP Life-Saving Rules and
may have been prevented by the adoption of this system.

Fatal incidents per 100 million work hours (FIR):

The number of incidents that result in one or more fatalities per 100 million hours worked


Five-year rolling average

The five-year rolling average is calculated by summing the total number of incidents for the five
previous years and dividing by the sum of the work hours for these years. The number series
involved in the calculation is frame shifted along by one each year, e.g. 2019 will be calculated from
2015-2019 data. For example, the five-year rolling average FAR for 2019 is calculated by:
(Number of fatalities in 2015+2016+2017+2018+2019)
(Total work hours in 2015+2016+2017+2018+2019) / 100,000,000
Lost work day case (LWDC)

An incident resulting in at least one day off work. Fatal incidents are not included.

Severity is defined as the number of days lost (where reported) for each lost work day case.

In order to smooth out variability in the annual values for the regional FAR, TRIR, and LTIR, five-year
rolling averages are computed, which should provide a more reliable indicator of performance trends.
The figures show FAR, TRIR, and LTIR 5-year rolling averages for each of the regions and includes the
‘overall’ curve.

The number of days lost was reported for 61% of lost work day cases.
The severity of lost work day cases is the highest in the Russia & Central Asia region compared with the
other regions (85 days lost per LWDC in 2019). This is a 18% increase compared with the average for the
previous five-year period.
Data table 4 in Appendix A provides further information on the proportion of the database that can be used
for lost work day case severity. 94% of the data submitted for the Middle East, and 85% of the data
submitted for Africa, were usable for this metric, in comparison with only 38% of equivalent data for North
America.

3.7 Individual country performance

The safety performance reported by participating IOGP member companies of individual countries is
presented in terms of the lost time injury rate of companies jointly with contractors. To preserve the
anonymity of companies, performance is only published for those countries for which at least 2
companies have reported statistics. Countries with less than 50,000 reported work hours are excluded,
since results for such small populations of hours would be unrepresentative. Overall averages and
regional averages include data from all countries regardless of work hours or number of contributing
companies.
27 of the 96 countries for which data have been reported are excluded by these constraints.
TRIR calculations exclude data where medical treatment cases are not reported. The chart of relative
TRIR performance therefore compares the 2019 performance with that of 2018 and 2017 for all of the 69
countries.
The majority of countries in Africa, Asia / Australasia, Russia & Central Asia, the Middle East and South &
Central America achieved a TRIR equal to or lower than the overall average TRIR (0.92). The majority of
countries in Europe and North America show a TRIR higher than the global average.
The chart of relative LTIF performance for the 69 countries compares the 2019 performance with that of
2018 and 2017.
The majority of countries in Africa, Asia / Australasia, Russia & Central Asia, the Middle East, North
America and South & Central America achieved a LTIR equal to or lower than the overall average LTIR
(0.24). The majority of countries in Europe show a LTIR higher than the global average.
For comparison, the 5-year rolling average FAR is shown for each of the regions. There appears to be
little if any correlation between these values and the regional average LTIR and TRIR values.

Fatal incidents per 100 million work hours (FIR):



Five-year rolling average

The five-year rolling average is calculated by summing the total number of incidents for the five
previous years and dividing by the sum of the work hours for these years. The number series
involved in the calculation is frame shifted along by one each year, e.g. 2019 will be calculated from
2015-2019 data. For example, the five-year rolling average FAR for 2019 is calculated by:
(Number of fatalities in 2015+2016+2017+2018+2019)
(Total work hours in 2015+2016+2017+2018+2019) / 100,000,000
Lost work day case (LWDC)

An incident resulting in at least one day off work. Fatal incidents are not included.

Severity is defined as the number of days lost (where reported) for each lost work day case.

in this analysis has been allocated a unique code letter (A to UU). These codes change every year in line
with LTIR performance. 1 company was excluded from this analysis because they did not report
contractor data. Results for 47 of the 48 participating companies are therefore shown in this section. In
2019 IOGP member companies reported 22 contractor and 3 company employee fatalities.

5.2 Company results by function

Results of companies together with their contractors have been analysed by function to allow more in-
depth benchmarking between companies. The TRIR indicator has been selected, and the ranked results
are shown in the following charts. Only companies that provided data by function are included, and then
only those companies that reported more than 100,000 hours worked. Results against smaller numbers of
hours would not have statistical significance. The company code letters are the same as used elsewhere
in this section.
Exploration was the only function where the top quartile company with contractors shows a TRIR of zero.
It is also the function with the smallest number of work hours reported (1% of the total in 2019).

The database for the year 2019 covers 3,038,352,000 work hours reported in the exploration and
production sector of the oil and gas industry. The database is virtually unchanged compared with 2018.
72% of the hours reported were associated with onshore activities, 28% with offshore activities.
96 countries are represented in the database, 5 fewer than in the 2018 database. Countries are
listed in the 'Countries' section.
48 companies contributed data, of which 47 companies contributed contractor statistics, though
not in every case for each country of operation.
Of the 48 companies, 42 had contributed data in 2018 which accounted for 98% of the database in
2018 and 98% of the database in 2019. 37 of the companies submitting 2019 data had also provided
data in 2017.
15 of the companies contributed 85% of the hours. 5 companies covered 45% of the hours, and the
largest contributor accounted for 12%.
22% of the reported work hours were related to company personnel and 78% were related to
contractors.
A summary of the key elements of the database is shown in the table at the end of this section.

‘Unspecified (as a work function)’ is used for the entry of data associated with office personnel whose
work hours and incident data cannot be reasonably assigned to the administrative support of one of the
function groupings of exploration, drilling, production or construction. Corporate overhead support

damage caused by the fire, both are reported.
Occupational Illness
Any abnormal condition or disorder, or any fatality other than one resulting from an occupational injury,
caused by exposure to environmental factors associated with employment. Occupational illness may be
caused by inhalation, absorption, ingestion of, or direct contact with the hazard, as well as exposure to
physical and psychological hazards. It will generally result from prolonged or repeated exposure. Refer to
IOGP/IPIECA Report 393 - Health Performance Indicators, published 2007.

Process safety [From API RP 754]

A disciplined framework for managing the integrity of hazardous operating systems and processes by
applying good design principles, engineering, and operating and maintenance practices. It deals with the
prevention and control of events with the potential to release hazardous materials or energy. Such
releases can result in toxic effects, fire or explosion, and could ultimately result in serious injuries,
property damage, lost production and environmental impact.
Process safety event

A process safety event, which can also be referred to as an asset integrity event, is a loss of primary
containment (LOPC) and is recordable if:
i. the consequence was a reportable employee or contractor injury or fatality, a third party hospital
admission or fatality, a community or site evacuation or a fire/explosion; or
ii. a pressure relief device discharge or material release occurs which exceeded defined thresholds
(even if none of the consequences above occurred) as specified within IOGP report 456, Process
safety – recommended practice on key performance indicators which provides consequence and
threshold definitions consistent with API Recommended Practice No.754.

An unplanned or uncontrolled release of any material including non-toxic and non-flammable materials
(e.g., steam, hot water, nitrogen, compressed CO2 or compressed air) from a process, or an undesired
event or condition, that under slightly different circumstances, could have resulted in a release of
material.
Process Safety Event Rate

The number of process safety events per 1,000,000 (1 million) work hours (production and drilling work
hours only).
Process safety related

Process safety related events are those which do not meet the specific criteria to be classified as Tier 1 or
2 process safety events but which have learning potential in the prevention of process safety events.
Production (as a work function)

heavy oil production where it is inseparable from upstream (i.e. stream assisted gravity drainage)
production
primary oil processing (water separation, stabilization)
primary gas processing (dehydration, liquids separation, sweetening, CO2 removal)
floating storage units (FSUs) and sub-sea storage units
gas processing activities with the primary intent of producing gas liquids for sale
secondary liquid separation (i.e. natural gas liquids [NGL] extraction using refrigeration
processing)
liquefied natural gas (LNG) and gas to liquids (GTL) operations
flow-lines between wells and pipelines between facilities associated with field production
operations
oil and gas loading facilities including land or marine vessels (trucks and ships) when connected to
an oil or gas production process
pipeline operations (including booster stations) operated by company E&P business.
Production excludes:
production drilling or workover
mining processes associated with the extraction of heavy oil tar sands
heavy oil when separable from upstream operations
secondary heavy oil processing (upgrader)
refineries.
Production operations (as a type of activity)

Activities related to the extraction of hydrocarbons from source such as an oil or gas well or hydrocarbon
bearing geological structure, including primary processing, storage and transport operations. Includes
normal, start-up or shut-down operations.
Recordable
A type of event, incident, injury, release or other outcome which has been determined to meet or exceed
definitions, criteria or thresholds for inclusion and classification in reported data.
/ 152
Restricted Work Day Case (RWDC)

Any work-related injury other than a fatality or lost work day case which results in a person being unfit for
full performance of the regular job on any day after the occupational injury. Work performed might be:
an assignment to a temporary job
part-time work at the regular job
working full-time in the regular job but not performing all the usual duties of the job.
Where no meaningful restricted work is being performed, the incident is recorded as a lost work day case
(LWDC).
Road
A thoroughfare which has a prepared, graded and levelled surface designed for the conveyance of motor
vehicles (see also ‘off-road’), such as:
Asphalt, tarmac
Concrete
Aggregate
Dirt/sand
Ice
Secondary containment
An impermeable physical barrier specifically designed to prevent release of materials into the
environment that have breached primary containment.
Seismic/ survey operations (as a type of activity)

Activities relating to the determination of sub-surface structures for the purpose of locating oil and gas
deposits including geophysical and seismic data acquisition.
Slips and Trips (at the same height) (as an incident/event category)
Slips, trips and falls caused by falling over or onto something at the same height.
Struck By (as an incident/event category)

Incidents/events where injury results from being hit by moving equipment and machinery, or by flying or
falling objects. Also includes vehicle incidents where the vehicle is struck by or struck against another
object.
Third Party
A person with no business relation with the company or contractor.
Total recordable injuries

The sum of fatalities, lost work day cases, restricted work day cases and medical treatment cases.

The number of recordable injuries (fatalities + lost work day cases + restricted work day cases + medical
treatment cases) per million hours worked.
Transport – Air (as a type of activity)

Involving aircraft, either fixed wing or helicopters. Injuries caused by accidents on the ground at airports
are classified in one of the other categories.
/ 153
Transport – Land (as a type of activity)

Involving motorized vehicles designed for transporting people and goods over land, e.g., cars, buses,
trucks. Pedestrians struck by a vehicle are classified as land transport incidents. Incidents from a mobile
crane would only be land transport incidents if the crane were being moved between locations.
Transport - Water, including Marine Activity (as a type of activity)

Involving vessels, equipment or boats designed for transporting people and goods over water (including
inland, marine, ice roads and marsh/swamp), e.g., supply vessels, crew boats.
Turnaround (as a PSE mode of operation)

A planned, periodic shut down (total or partial) of a process unit or plant to perform maintenance,
overhaul and repair operations and to inspect, test and replace process materials and equipment. This is
after a planned shutdown.
Unspecified – Other (as a type of activity)

Incidents that cannot be logically classed under other headings or where the activity is unknown.
Unspecified (as a work function)

Unspecified is used for the entry of data associated with office personnel whose work hours and incident
data cannot be reasonably assigned to the administrative support of one of the function groupings of
exploration, drilling, production or construction. Corporate overhead support personnel, such as finance
or human resources staff, may be examples where work hours cannot be specifically assigned to a
particular function. All other data that are not separated out by function are reported as unspecified.
NOTE: Data for companies that did not split their data submission by work function are included in the
‘unspecified’ function.
Water related/drowning (as an incident/event category)

Incidents/events in which water played a significant role including drowning.
Work-Related Injury
See Occupational Injury.

The IOGP safety performance indicators – data

report summarises the safety performance of
contributing IOGP member companies for The
safety performance of contributing IOGP
member companies in 2019 is based on the
analysis of 3,038 million work hours of data.
Submissions were made by 48 of the 60

operating company IOGP Members.
The key performance indicators (KPI) used to

benchmark safety performance are:
number of fatalities
fatal accident and incident rates
total recordable injury rate, and
lost time injury rate.
Against the background of a 1% decrease in

work hours reported, the number of fatalities
has decreased from 31 in 2018 to 25 in 2019.
The resulting fatal accident rate (0.82) is 19%
lower than last year’s figure (1.01).
