Personal injury performance is broadly flat with lost time injury frequency increasing by 2% and total recordable injury rate increasing by 5% in 2011 compared with 2010 results.
The 2011 OGP safety performance indicators show that the Fatal Accident Rate for reporting companies has reduced by 32% compared with 2010. The number of fatalities has reduced from 94 in 2010 to 65 in 2011. This means that, on average, more than one person per week lost their life in 2011.

There are a number of common causal factors related to the fatal incidents and high potential events in both 2010 and 2011. The top 6 causal factors were:
• Inadequate hazard identification or risk assessment (10.0% of total)
• Inadequate supervision (7.3% of total)
• Inadequate work standards/procedures (6.5% of total) • Improper decision making or lack of judgment (6.4%
of total)
• Unintentional violation (by individual or group) (5.4% of total)
HPI self-assessment returns – 2011
Average from 17 participating companies Members of the OGP/IPIECA Health Committee piloted a set of 8 leading indicators of health performance within their companies during September 2008, 2009 and 2010. 2 tools were used: the first indicated the extent of manage-ment of the 8 areas across each participating company glob-ally; the second allowed for in-depth analysis at site and corporate level.
The tools were enhanced in response to feedback from OGP/IPIECA member companies and final versions of both tools were used during September 2011 to gauge health performance across the participating OGP/IPIECA member companies. 17 companies took part and many of these had participated in the 2008 pilot. The results are dis-played as both radar plots and tables which are colour coded as heat-maps.
Individual companies have used earlier years’ results to identify gaps in their own health management systems so it is pleasing to note that mean values for each health area have improved over the 4 years.
The health indicators report illustrates the final versions of both tools, actual anonymous results for 2011, trends over time and the potential benefits to health management in the industry.

In February 2012, OGP released a set of ‘life-saving rules’ (OGP Life-Saving Rules, OGP report № 459), intended for use by the oil & gas industry to mitigate risk and reduce fatalities. Each OGP Life-Saving Rule consists of a simple icon and descriptive text, providing clear, simple and con-sistent communication regarding risks in the workplace. These Rules were developed by using the fatal incidents and high potential events data provided from the 1991 to 2010 Safety performance indicators reports to identify the events and activities that most commonly result in fatal incidents. The Life Saving Rules are split into 8 ‘core rules’ and 10 ‘sup-plemental rules’.
Analysis of the fatal incident descriptions for 2011 data has shown that 80% of the fatal incidents reported are covered by the OGP Life-Saving Rules and may have been prevented by the adoption of this system.
• Level 1 – Process under development
• Level 2 – Process in place but not fully implemented and embedded
• Level 3 – Process in place and implemented. System functioning; system procedures documented and results being measured
• Level 4 – Process in place and implemented. System sustained and supported by an on-going improvement process
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers, OGP, has been collecting safety incident data from member companies globally since 1985. The data collected are entered into the OGP safety database, which is the largest database of safety performance in the E&P industry. The principal purpose of the data collection and analysis is to record the global safety performance of the contributing OGP member companies, each year. The submission of data is voluntary and is not mandated by OGP 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 OGP incident reporting system covers worldwide explo-ration and production (E&P) opeexplo-rations, 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, number of lost work day cases and number of lost work days, lost time injury fre-quency, number of restricted duty case and restricted duty days, number of medical treatment cases and total record-able injury rate. The report presents contributing OGP 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 associ-ated contractors (see Appendix C).
Wherever practicable, results are presented graphically. The data underlying the charts are presented in Appendix B. These data are available to OGP members in editable format in the members’ area of the OGP website. The tables are organised according to the section in the report where the chart appears.
In 2007 the combined Health Committee of OGP and IPIECA published Health Performance Indicators – a guide for the oil and gas industry. Text within this was used to develop two tools to assess health leading performance indicators within individual companies and to compare performance between different parts of a company and between companies and the industry as a whole. Both tools were used in 2011 to gauge health performance of IPIECA member companies; the results have been published in the Health report.
In 2010, safety data collection was initiated to capture “causal factors” associated with fatal incidents and high potential events. The data reported for 2010 and 2011 is presented in section 2.11 of this report. The full source data is available to OGP members in editable format in the mem-bers’ area of the OGP web-site.
The main changes to the 2011 performance indicators are: • The metric that combined Restricted Work Day Case
+ Lost Time Injury frequency is no longer reported • Fatal incident and high potential event descriptions
previously included in this report as appendixes C and D are now available for download on the OGP Safety Zone website, http://info.ogp.org.uk/safety
• Inclusion of health leading performance indicator data • The addition of a free standing summary
These changes reflect the Safety Data Sub-Committee’s aim to improve the reliability of the data and its interpretation.
The OGP safety performance indicators report summarises the safety performance of contributing OGP member companies for 2011.
The key performance indicators (KPI) used to benchmark the safety performance of the industry are: number of fatalities, fatal accident and incident rates, total recordable injury rate and lost time injury frequency.
Third party fatalities are not included in this report.
The safety performance of contributing OGP member com-panies in 2011 is based on the analysis of 3,456 million work hours of data, 1% more than were reported in 2010.
Submissions were made by 45 of the 59 operating company OGP members (42 reported in 2010). All but one reported statistics for their contractors. The data reported cover oper-ations in 98 countries.
• 78% of the hours reported were associated with onshore activities, 22% with offshore activities.
• Of the 45 companies, 41 had contributed data in 2010. Since these 41 accounted for 99% of the database in 2011, comparison of the year 2011 results with those of 2010 is legitimate and statistically meaningful. 40 of the companies submitting 2011 data had also provided data in 2009.
• 20 of the companies contributed 90% of the hours. 6 companies between them covered 50% of the hours, and the largest contributor accounted for 11%.
• 22% of the reported work hours were related to com-pany personnel and 78% were related to contractors.

1.2 Fatalities
Against the background of a 1% increase in work hours reported, the number of fatalities has decreased from 94 in 2010 to 65 fatalities which occurred in 50 seperate incidents in 2011. The resulting Fatal Accident Rate (1.88) is 32% lower than last year’s figure. The company and contractor FAR are 1.33 and 2.03 respectively. Onshore and offshore FAR are 1.94 and 1.67 respectively.
The reporting categories are divided into ‘activity’ and ‘category’. The activity with the highest number of fatali-ties reported by the OGP member companies is ‘Transport – land’ with 15 fatalities in 11 separate incidents. These included a Pakistan ‘assault or violent act’ incident involv-ing the ambush of a convoy in which 5 contractor employees and 1 third party lost their lives. There were 11 fatal incidents reported in the activity ‘Construction, Commissioning, Decommissioning’ which resulted in 11 fatalities.
With regard to the incident category, excluding those reported as ‘Other’ (which included the two air transport incidents), the largest proportion of the fatalities reported in 2011 (25%) were categorised as ‘Caught in, under or between’ (10% in 2010). Excluding those categorised as ‘Other’, incidents that were the result of individuals being struck by falling or moving objects (18%) were the second greatest contributors to the fatality statistics (21% in 2010). Similar to last year, 9% of the fatalities were the result of ‘Falls from height’ (6% in 2010) and 8% of the fatalities were categorised as ‘Confined space’ (1% in 2010).
The Fatal Accident Rates for Asia/Australasia (3.3) is high compared with a global average of 1.9. This is mainly due to three single fatal incidents with multiple fatalities in the region (3 incidents resulted in 10 fatalities).
The FIR is a measure of the frequency with which fatal inci-dents occur, in contrast to the FAR which measures the fre-quency of fatalities. Accordingly, 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 fatal incident rate has decreased by 15% com-pared with last year and is the lowest on record to date.

The rate for all recordable injuries (fatalities, lost work day cases, restricted work day cases and medical treatment cases) was 1.76 injuries per million hours worked (1.68 in 2010). This is a 5% increase compared with 2010 with 344 more injuries reported than in 2010.
The region that showed the largest increase in TRIR was South America (12.9%); an increase in TRIR was also seen in Asia/Australasia (11.0%) and North America (9.1%). A reduction in TRIR from 2010 to 2011 was shown in the Middle East (25.6%), Africa (14.8%), the FSU (10.1%) and Europe (8.5%). The North America work hours increased by 36% compared with 2010.

1.4 Lost time injuries
The overall Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF) increased from 0.42 in 2010 to 0.43 in 2011. This represents an increase of 2% compared with 2010 and 50 more lost time injuries.
This increase is similar in both company and contractor per-formance. The company and contractor LTIF both show a 2% increase compared with 2010. Offshore LTIF has also shown an increase (19%), while onshore the LTIF continues to fall and is the lowest on record to date.
There were 1,415 reported injuries resulting in at least one day off work; 1,106 incidents were contractor related and 309 were company related. This equates to an average of 27 such injuries every week of the year. Approximately 272 work-years (assuming 220 working days per year) are esti-mated to have been lost by reporting companies and their contractors as a result of injuries.
Although the absolute number of LWDCs has increased (1,336 in 2010), the average time away from work has reduced by 4%. Offshore injuries resulted in a 17% higher number of lost work days than onshore. The severity of lost work day cases is the highest in South America compared with the other regions, with 71.6 days lost per LWDC in 2011. The average days lost per LWDC for South America is 55% greater than the average for the region for the previous 5-year period (46.2)
The lost work day case category was provided for all of the Lost Work Day Cases reported, although 10% of the cases were categorised as ‘Other’.
• The greatest number of incidents was reported as ‘Struck by’ (357 cases accounting for 25% of the total; 2010 results showed 347 cases accounting for 26% of the total).
• ‘Caught in, under or between’ and ‘Slips and Trips (at the same height)’ accounted for 19% and 17% respec-tively of the total reported cases. 2010 results showed 17% for both categories.
Lost work day case activities were reported for all of the 1,415 Lost Work Day Cases reported, although 10% of the cases were reported as ‘Unspecified-other’. In 2010, 9% were reported as ‘Unspecified-other’.

• 65 company and contractor fatalities were reported in 2011. This is 29 fewer than were reported in 2010 and 34 fewer than in 2009. In 2010 there were 21 fatali-ties as a result of a single air transport incident and 11 fatalities as a result of a single fire & explosion incident. • The 65 fatalities occurred in 50 separate incidents.
• There were five incidents that involved more than two fatalities. These were:
êA Pakistan incident involving the ambush of a convoy, in which 6 people (including one third-party individ-ual) lost their lives.
êA fire & explosion onshore in the UAE in which 4 people lost their lives when their vehicle caught fire after crossing a pool of leaking oil.
êA helicopter crash in Brazil in which 4 people lost their lives after the helicopter crashed into the sea. êAn incident in Indonesia where 3 people died after
attempting to save a colleague who had fallen uncon-cious after entering a tank with a low oxygen content. êA further helicopter crash in Myanmar in which 3
people drowned when the helicopter crashed into the sea.
2.1 Fatalities
In this section the primary indicators used to measure contributing OGP member companies’ safety performance are: the number and nature of fatalities, total recordable injury rate (TRIR), fatal accident rate (FAR), fatal inci-dent rate (FIR) and lost time injury frequency (LTIF).
Third party incidents are not included in this report.

2.2 Fatal accident rate (FAR)
• In 2011 there were 10 company related fatalities (23 in 2010) as a result of 10 separate incidents.
• In 2011 there were 55 contractor related fatalities (71 in 2010).
êFive of the contractor fatalities were as a result of a single incident in Pakistan in which their convoy was ambushed by unknown attackers.
êSeven of the contractor fatalities were as a result of two separate incidents in Brazil and Myanmar in which the helicopters crashed into the sea.
êFive of the contractor fatalities were as a result of two separate incidents involving fire & explosions in UAE and Russia.
êThree of the contractor fatalities were the result of a single incident in Indonesia after they entered a tank with low oxygen content to rescue an unconscious colleague.
• The difference between the onshore and offshore FAR displays a large variation over the 10 year period shown. Neither is consistently lower. This is generally attribut-able to single transportation incidents involving high numbers of fatalities. 0 2 4 6 8 Overall Contractor Company 2011 2010 2009 2008 2007 2006 2005 2004 2003 2002 2 4 6 8 Overall Offshore Onshore

The FIR is a measure of the frequency with which fatal incidents occur, in contrast to the FAR which measures the frequency of fatalities. Accordingly, for company and con-tractor fatalities only, 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 Fatal Incident Rate has decreased by 15% compared with last year and is the lowest on record (50 fatal incidents in 2011, 58 fatal incidents in 2010). • The offshore Fatal Incident Rate reduced by 39%
com-pared with 2010 results. This is an actual reduction of 15 fatal incidents from 2010.

2.6 Lost time injury frequency (LTIF)
• The overall LTIF increased by 2% from 0.42 in 2010 to 0.43 in 2011.
• The offshore LTIF increased by 19% compared with 2010. The incident categories associated with the increase in offshore LTIF are “Caught in, under or between”, “Falls from height” and “Overexertion, strain”; the activities associated with the increase are “Production operations” and “Transport – water, including marine activity”.
There were 1,415 reported lost work day cases resulting in at least one day off work, which equates to an average of 27 injuries resulting in at least one day off work every week of the year. Approximately 272 work-years are estimated to have been lost by reporting companies and their contrac-tors (assuming 220 working days per year) as a result of injuries. Although the absolute number of LWDCs has increased (1,366 in 2010), the average time away from work has reduced by 4%. See Section 2.8 for further information on Lost Work Day Case severity.

2.7 Lost work day cases by category and activity
Of the 1,415 reported lost work day cases resulting in at least one day off work, 1,106 incidents were contractor related and 309 were company related.
The Lost Work Day Case category was provided for all of the lost work day cases reported, although 10% of the cases were categorised as ‘Other’.
The pie chart shows the percentage of LWDCs within each of the reporting categories for 2011.
• The greatest number of incidents was reported as ‘Struck by’ (357 cases accounting for 25% of LWDCs), (2010 results showed 347 cases accounting for 26%). • ‘Caught in, under or between’ and ‘Slips and trips (at
the same height)’ accounted for 19% and 17% respec-tively of the total reported cases. (2010 results showed 17% for both categories).
• In comparison with 2010, the 2011 results were very similar; no category differed by more than 2%.

These data challenge the concept that the ratio between fatalities, lost time injuries and recordable injuries show similar relationships for different incident categories and activities. In some incident categories such as “confined space”, “assault or violent act”, “water related, drowning”, the ratio will be higher. Certain activities and categories of incident also more commonly result in multiple fatalities, such as “Transport – air”, “Confined space” and “Explosion or burns”.
The varying ratio of fatalities to lost time injuries to record-able injuries for 2010-2011 challenges the traditional notion of recordable injuries and lost time injuries as a precursor to fatalities. In some incident categories such as “confined space”, “assault or violent act” and “water related, drown-ing”, the ratio will be higher as shown in the tables below.

2.11 Causal factors analysis
The allocation of ‘causal factors’ to fatal incidents and high potential events was requested for the 2011 data reported to OGP. This request was first made in 2010, therefore, a comparison of two years of data is possible.
A list of causal factors and their descriptions were supplied to those providing data for this document to ensure stand-ardised responses.
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 clas-sification categories, with an additional level of detail under each of the major categories.
The causal factors assigned to fatal incidents are shown below. The highlighted content indicates the top 10 causal factors assigned to fatal incidents in 2011 compared to 2010; eight of the ten were the same for both years.
Additional information on the fatal incidents reported by region can be found on the OGP Safety Zone website: http://info.ogp.org.uk/Safety/. The information provided includes a narrative description of the incident, the corrective actions and recommendations and the causal factors assigned by the reporting company.
• 42 of the 50 fatal incidents reported were assigned causal factors (51 of 58 in 2010)
• 203 causal factors were assigned for the 50 fatal inci-dents

The highlighted content indicates the top 10 causal factors assigned to fatal incidents in 2011 compared to 2010, seven of the ten were the same for both years.
Note: the top 11 causal factors have been shown for 2010, as two of the causal factors were each assigned 15 times. Additional information on high potential events reported by region can be found on the OGP Safety Zone website: http://info.ogp.org.uk/Safety/. The information provided includes a narrative description of the event, the corrective actions and recommendations, and the causal factors assigned by the reporting company.
2.12 OGP Life-Saving Rules
The following seven causal factors were common to the top ten for both fatal incidents and high potential events in 2011. • Process (conditions): Organisational: Inadequate hazard identification or risk assessment
• People (acts): Inattention/Lack of Awareness: Improper decision making or lack of judgment • Process (conditions): Organisational: Inadequate supervision
• Process (conditions): Organisational: Inadequate work standards/procedures • Process (conditions): Organisational: Inadequate training/competence
• People (acts): Following Procedures: Violation unintentional (by individual or group) • Process (conditions): Organisational: Inadequate communication
OGP Life-Saving Rules applicable to 2011 fatal incidents
percent of total 2011 incidents OGP recently released a set of ‘life-saving rules’ (OGP
Life-Saving Rules, OGP report № 459), intended for use by the oil & gas industry to mitigate risk and reduce fatalities. Each OGP Life-Saving Rule consists of a simple icon and descriptive text, providing clear, simple and consistent com-munication regarding risks in the workplace.
These Rules were developed by using the fatal incidents and high potential events data provided from the 1991 to 2010 Safety performance indicators to clearly identify the events and activities that are the highest risk and therefore provide clear instructions on how to avoid them. These are split into 8 ‘core rules’ and 10 ‘supplemental rules’.
Analysis of the fatal incident descriptions for 2011 data has shown that 80% of the fatal incidents reported are covered by the OGP Life-Saving Rules and may have been prevented by the adoption of this system.

In this section the safety performance of the contributing OGP members is presented for regions and individual countries within those regions.
A list of countries from which companies have reported information is provided in Appendix G, which also shows the division of countries into regions.
Regions and countries throughout the Safety performance indicators are grouped in the same geo-graphic regions as have been historically used in this report so as to ensure consistency;

Lost Time Injury Frequency (LTIF)
The number of lost time injuries (fatalities + lost workday cases per 1,000,000 hours worked).
3.5 FAR, TRIR and LTIF – 5-year rolling averages
The five year rolling average is calculated by summing the total number of incidents of the five previous years, and dividing by the sum of the work hours for these years. For example, the five year rolling average for 2011 is calculated by:
(Number of injuries in 2007+2008+2009+2010+2011) (Total work hours in 2007+2008+2009+2010+2011)
The number series involved in the calculation is frame shifted along by one each year, e.g. 2012 will calculate from 2008-2012.
The figures show TRIR, FAR and LTIF 5-year rolling averages for each of the seven regions, and includes the ‘all regions’ curve.
The increase in the North America FAR in 2010 can be in part attributed to the effect of a fire and explosion offshore in the USA in which 11 individuals lost their lives.
The increase in the Asia/Australsia FAR in 2010 can in part be attributed to the effect of a fatal air-transport incident in Pakistan in which 21 individuals lost their lives. The con-tinued increase in the Asia/Australasia FAR in 2011 can in part be attributed to three fatal incidents in the region which resulted in multiple fatalities:
• Pakistan “assault or violent act” which resulted in 5 fatalities
• Myanmar “transport – air” which resulted in 3 fatali-ties
• Indonesia “confined space” which resulted in 2 fatali-ties
• The increase in Europe FAR in 2009 can in part be atributed to the effect of a fatal air-transport incident in the UK in which 14 contractor employees and 2 air crew lost their lives.
In order to smooth out variability in the annual values of the regional TRIR, FAR and LTIF, 5-year rolling averages are computed which should provide a more reliable indica-tor of performance trends.
