Major accidents occur rarely and leading indicators must be assessed in addition to lagging indicators, such as hydrocarbon releases. Leading indicators such as maintenance backlogs and overdue verification findings are used to monitor how well safety and environmental critical elements are being managed. Process safety performance indicators, while perhaps not as obviously about safety as the injury statistics, are critical to measuring performance and ensuring the industry continues to manage major accident risk effectively. L ooking at 2016 specifically, it is difficult to discuss the improvements that were recorded in most areas of safety performance without acknowledging the tragic fact that the industry experienced a fatality in this period. That a member of the UK offshore workforce lost his life is a reminder of the hazards inherent in the offshore working environment, and the need for industry to stay focused on managing the risks. oilandgasuk /healtha dsafetyreport Over 715,000 passengers were flown offshore in 2016 totalling nearly 89,000 flight hours
