Standard Standard Issue Date: 01/08/2018
1 PURPOSE
1 Purpose
The intent of this standard is to share lessons learned and identified statistical categories of data relating to certain
types of HSE incidents, including high potential incidents and near misses, in order to prevent their recurrence and
to maintain good Industry-wide HSE statistics.
2 Scope
2 SCOPE
This standard is applicable to the Oil and Gas sector in Oman. All Operators will participate and contribute, and they
are expected to benefit from incident sharing.
Incident origins shall cover all aspects of upstream, midstream and downstream activities, such as seismic,
exploration, drilling, processing, construction, logistics and transportation, maintenance and other support services.
Primary and secondary target populations expected to benefit from this standard are occupational health and safety
professionals, employers, managers, supervisors and the workforce.

etc.); or
• Toxic chemicals (e.g. H2S, SO2, mercury, etc.); or
• Non-toxic and non-flammable materials (e.g. steam,

but does not result in days away from work.
Note: Restricted or light duty the day of the injury or
illness does not make the incident a recordable

Working hours Working hours to calculate incident rates shall include all
personnel work hours who are directly engaged in the
activities as well indirect support services and
administrative staff. Company sponsored training hours
should be included whether training is on-site or off-site.
Off-duty hours, rest days and non-work-related hours
spent by employees should not be considered for
incident reporting.
Work-related The following activities should be
incident considered as work related until proven
otherwise:
o All work by Operator personnel on
shift,
o All work by Operator contractor on
Operator premises or on non-
Operator premises for which it can
reasonably be concluded, based on
risk assessment that Operator and
contractor management controls are
required.
“Contractor” includes all sub-contracted
(etc.) activities.
For Operator personnel, work includes
overtime, attending courses,
conferences, company organised
events, business travel, field visits or
any other activity where the employee’s
presence is expected by the employer.

For contractor personnel, the same
activities are included when they are
executed under a contract on behalf of
Operator.
Where it is impossible or inappropriate
for the Company to seek to apply
management controls on a contractor,
exceptions may be justifiable.
Examples may be found in areas where
contractor services are not dedicated to
the company, for example:
o Manufacturing of components in a
factory together with the manufacture
of components for other customers,
o Construction at a contractor’s
fabrication site shared by other
customers,
o Delivery of goods or products to
company locations by a contractor

for QA
The ILRC is intended to co-ordinate, guide and monitor those activities related to incident reporting received by
OPAL from time to time from various Operators in Oman’s Oil and Gas sector. The ILRC consists of the following:
5.1 Permanent representation: All operators belonging to upstream, midstream and downstream
industries.
5.2 Invited representation: Subject Matter Experts are nominated by the committee, as and when
required.
5.3 The ILRC elects a Chair and a deputy chair to conduct the process of incident sharing. Anyone from
the committee could nominate to the positions and seconded by another committee member. If
more than one nomination, voting can decide the chair and deputy chair. The Chair and deputy
chair will hold office for two years.
