3.2 Health and Safety Executive Statistics (Personal Injuries)
The UK offshore oil and gas industry is a major hazard industry. However, in comparison with other comparatively
lower hazard UK industry sectors, it has a low personal injury rate and performs better than average. The charts
below are based on data provided by the HSE and the data sets are drawn from RIDDOR reports. The data are
therefore considered to be reliable and verifiable.
