1 Introduction

Land Transportation Safety

Driving-related incidents are the single largest cause of fatalities in IOGP
member company operations.

In April 2005, IOGP published Report 365, Land transportation safety

recommended practice (revised October 2014) which aimed to help reduce,
and ultimately eliminate, the number of serious road traffic incidents and
fatalities by providing guidance on how to implement land transport safety
elements within a management system. The content of the guidelines was
designed by the IOGP Land Transportation Safety Subcommittee (LTSC)
to be applicable to all land transport activities in the upstream oil and gas
industry, including those of operators, contractors and subcontractors.

It is recommended in IOGP Report 365 that all companies operating,

or receiving or providing services involving land transportation have a
management system in place that includes land transportation operations
and which is based on a full assessment of the risks as well as control
measures to address such risks.

IOGP safety database

IOGP has been collecting annual safety incident data from member
companies since 1985. The IOGP safety database is the largest database
of safety performance in the upstream oil and gas industry.

The main purpose of the data collection and analysis is to record the
global safety performance of the contributing IOGP member companies
and their associated contractors on an annual basis. The annual safety
data reports provide trend analysis, benchmarking and identification of
areas and activities on which efforts should be focused to bring about the
greatest improvements in performance.

2 Crash definition and scope

Crash definition:
Work-related vehicle damage, personal injury or fatality
due to a vehicle related event, e.g. collision or rollover

Scope:
This applies to employees, contractors and their subcontractors and
covers all light-duty vehicles, mobile construction equipment and
heavy-duty vehicles including buses or coaches.

Exclusions:
The following should not be reported as a motor vehicle crash when the
vehicle is properly parked:
• injuries that occur when entering or exiting the vehicle
• any event involving loading or unloading from the vehicle
• another vehicle crashes into the parked vehicle.

In addition, the following should not be reported as a motor vehicle crash:

• d
amage to or total loss of a vehicle solely due to environmental
conditions or vandalism
• damage related to the theft of a vehicle
• superficial damage, such as a stone/rock chip damaging a
windscreen/or paintwork while the vehicle is being driven
• a
n event where there has been no collision or any other damage
than to the vehicle itself, this includes but not limited to: engine
fire, losing a wheel and brake failure while maintaining control
of the vehicle.

3 Motor Vehicle Crash categories

IOGP Members are encouraged to classify their Motor Vehicle Crashes in

these four main categories and eight subcategories:

Category C – Catastrophic events

1. Any MVC resulting in one or more company, contractor or
subcontractor fatalities
2. Any MVC resulting in one or more third party fatalities associated
with the MVC involving a company, contractor or subcontractor
vehicle(s)

Category M – Major events

3. Any MVC resulting in company, contractor or subcontractor injury
where the most severe outcome is a Lost Work Day Case (LWDC)
4. Any MVC resulting in company, contractor or subcontractor
vehicle rollover

Category S – Serious events

5. Any MVC resulting in company, contractor or subcontractor injury
where the most severe outcome is a recordable injury (Medical
Treatment Case and/or Restricted Work Day Case)

Category O – Other events

6. Any MVC resulting in company, contractor or subcontractor injury
where the most severe outcome is a Minor Injury (First Aid Case)
7. Any MVC where company, contractor or subcontractor vehicle
cannot be driven from the scene under its own power in a
roadworthy state (disabling damage)
8. Any other MVC involving a company, contractor or subcontractor
vehicle that does not meet any of the above criteria.

4 Motor Vehicle Crash

Rate calculations

Motor Vehicle mileage

IOGP Members are encouraged to collect kilometres/miles driven by
motor vehicles on company business. This includes company, contractor
or subcontractor vehicles. This data is required to calculate Motor Vehicle
Crash Rates.

‘Kilometres driven’ is the preferred and most relevant normalizer of risk

exposure in land transport activities.

IOGP Members are encouraged to use these common definitions as a

metric for classifying MVC frequency:

Severe MVCR

This combines Catastrophic, Major and Serious vehicle crashes vs.

kilometres exposure.
rsevere = nC + nM + nS
d

Total MVCR

This combines Catastrophic, Major, Serious and Other vehicle

crashes vs. kilometres exposure.
rtotal = nC + nM + nS + nO
d

where
rsevere = severe Motor Vehicle Crash rate

rtotal = total Motor Vehicle Crash rate

nC = number of Category C (Catastrophic) motor vehicle crashes
nM = number of Category M (Major) motor vehicle crashes
nS = number of Category S (Serious) motor vehicle crashes
nO = number of Category O (Other) motor vehicle crashes

d = total driven distance (in million kilometres).

Common KPIs for Motor Vehicle Crashes 9

Companies are encouraged to create an ‘open reporting’ culture and

to have all Motor Vehicle Crashes reported, including the more minor
(Category O) events. Open reporting will enable companies to learn
from events, provide trend analysis and identify areas and activities
on which efforts should be focused to bring about the greatest
improvements in performance.

A ratio of the Severe Motor Vehicle Crashes versus the Total Motor Vehicle
Crashes should also be considered to validate the safety pyramid/triangle.
