Health & Safety Report 2015

4.3 Asset Integrity Key Performance Indicators The HSE Offshore Division ran the Key Programme 3 (KP3) inspection programme on asset integrity management from 2004 through to 2007. Asset integrity was defined as “the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently while protecting health, safety and the environment”. Asset integrity management was defined as “the means for ensuring that people, systems, processes and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in use and will perform on demand over the whole life cycle of the asset”. One of the many responses from the UK offshore oil and gas industry to KP3 was to develop additional asset integrity-related key performance indicators (KPIs), as illustrated in Figure 10 below, that would consistently demonstrate industry progress in this area over time and complement hydrocarbon release (HCR) statistics. The criteria for the KPIs were that: • They present meaningful information that allow performance trends over time to be evaluated. • They comprise data that are readily available to all or most operators with little or no further effort to collect and report. • They are consistently defined across operators. The industry set up a voluntary asset integrity KPI scheme, with data collected since 2008. Oil & Gas UK administers the scheme and collates data from a number of operators and duty holders. The three current cross-industry asset integrity-related KPIs are:
