The key performance indicators used in the benchmarking process are:
• Reportable injuries (fatalities, specified injuries and over-seven-day injuries) according to the Reporting of Injury,
Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations (RIDDOR). Please note that ‘specified injuries’ replaces the
previous list of ‘major injuries’. More information on this change can be found at
• RIDDOR reportable dangerous occurrences including hydrocarbon releases
The industry also tracks and measures hydrocarbon releases as part of its asset integrity management monitoring,
which is reported and commented upon in section 3.3 of this report.
The 2013 data are based on over 56 million man hours worked by the 28 participating operating companies, an
increase of five million from 2012.
The charts below and overleaf reveal a disappointing rise in the frequencies of reportable injuries and dangerous
occurrences from 2012 to 2013 of about five per cent and nine per cent, respectively. Although these increases
are in themselves relatively small, they do reflect a slight deterioration in performance rather than the continual
improvement typically achieved. Nonetheless, the performance is still better than was achieved in 2011.
Oil & Gas UK will engage with its Health & Safety Forum members and with relevant groups within Step Change in
Safety to attempt to better understand the performance and to identify any areas for improvement at an industry
level. Any cross-industry action would supplement measures implemented at duty holder/employer level where
incident prevention arrangements and the effects of those arrangements are managed.
