Introduction
The International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) has been collecting safety incident data from its
Member Companies globally since 1985. The data collected are entered into the IOGP safety database, which is
the largest database of safety performance in the exploration and production (E&P) industry.
The principal purpose of the data collection and analysis is to record the global safety performance of the
contributing IOGP Member Companies on an annual basis. The submission of data is voluntary and is not
mandated by IOGP 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 IOGP incident reporting system covers worldwide E&P operations, 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
total recordable injury rate
lost time injury rate
number of lost work day cases
number of lost work days
number of restricted duty cases
restricted duty days, and
number of medical treatment cases
The analysis presents contributing IOGP 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 associated contractors (see Appendix C).
In 2010, data collection was initiated to capture 'causal factors' associated with fatal incidents and high potential
events. These data are presented in section 2.11 of this report. Wherever practicable, results are presented
graphically.
The data underlying the charts are presented in Appendix B. The causal factors and chart data are available in
editable format to logged in IOGP Members.
Narrative descriptions for the fatal incidents and high potential events selected for their learning value that were
reported by participating IOGP Member Companies can be found at https://data.iogp.org/Safety/FatalIncidents
and https://data.iogp.org/Safety/HighPotentialEvents respectively.
Scope of reporting and data validation

The data requested from participating IOGP Member Companies are published in an annual User Guide, which
contains definitions and the scope of the safety data submission. This document is available from the IOGP public
website.
The safety data submission process is used for the collection of data relating to safety performance, process
safety performance and motor vehicle crashes. The IOGP safety database has built-in data validation
requirements and each company data submission is validated by the IOGP Secretariat and the work group (Safety
Committee, Subcommittee or Expert Group) responsible for the data set in accordance with the IOGP data
collection and reporting procedure. Any communication with reporting companies is conducted by the IOGP
/6
Secretariat and any data validated by an IOGP work group is blind coded to preserve the anonymity of the
reporting companies.
A self-assessment questionnaire is included within the data submission process to determine the alignment
between the requested data and the company submissions. The information provided in this questionnaire is also
used in the validation process. Data that appear to be incorrect and that cannot be confirmed by the submitting
company as correct may be excluded from the data set at the discretion of the Secretariat.
The fatal incident activity category “Excavation, trenching, ground disturbance” was added in 2019.
The incident cause category of “Dropped objects” was added in 2018. The category “Caught in, under or
between” was modified to exclude dropped objects.
The incident cause category of "Aviation Accident" was introduced in 2016. Aviation accidents were previously
included in the "Other" incident category.
The scope of data included within this Report is detailed in Appendix A.
Data series
Other IOGP Data Reports published annually include:
Aviation Safety Data

Environmental Performance Indicators
Health Performance Indicators
Motor Vehicle Crash Data
Process Safety Event Data
These are available from the IOGP website http://www.iogp.org/bookstore.
Environmental Performance Indicators, Process Safety Events, Motor Vehicle Crash Data, Health Performance
Indicators, and the Safety Performance Indicators published in this Report are also available in electronic format
in IOGP's data website at https://data.iogp.org/.

Contractor 0.90 1.62 80% higher
Onshore 0.79 1.27 61% higher
Offshore 0.61 1.29 111% higher

The difference between the onshore and offshore fatal accident rate (FAR) displays a large variation over the 10-
year period shown in Figure 11. Neither is consistently lower. This is generally attributable to single
"transportation", "fire and explosion", or "assault/violent act" incidents involving high numbers of fatalities.
All hours in the database were used for calculations of FAR.

2.3 Fatal incident rate (FIR)

The fatal incident rate (FIR) is a measure of the rate with which fatal incidents occur, in contrast to the FAR which
measures the rate of fatalities. Accordingly, for company and contractor fatalities, 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 FIR increased by 100% compared with last year (29 fatal incidents in 2022, 15 fatal incidents in 2021).
All hours in the database were used for calculations of FIR.

2.11 Causal factors

The allocation of ‘causal factors’ to fatal incidents and high potential events was requested as part of the data
submission. IOGP first began recording causal factors in 2010. Users now have 12 years worth of data on this
topic to use for comparisons.
To standardize the response, an IOGP list of causal factors and a glossary was provided to the Member
Companies as part of the IOGP user guide. 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 classification categories, with an additional level of detail
under each of the major categories.
 Definitions
High potential event

Any incident or near miss that could have realistically resulted in one or more fatalities.
/ 43
2.12 Fatal incident causal factors

Causal factors are divided into two separate groups, People (Acts) and Process (Conditions), see Report 2022su
Safety data reporting user guide – 2022 data and Glossary for details.
27 of the 29 fatal incidents reported were assigned causal factors (13 of 15 in 2021).
88 causal factors were assigned for the 27 fatal incidents (60 in 2021).
Between 1 and 7 causal factors were assigned per incident (between 1 and 10 in 2021 ).
Table 20: Causal factors assigned to fatal incidents (2021 & 2022)

PROCESS (CONDITIONS) 34 43

The causal factors assigned to fatal incidents are shown in Table 21. The highlighted content indicates the top ten
causal factors assigned to fatal incidents in 2022 compared with the previous 11 years. 5 of the causal factors
were in the top ten for the 10 years shown, and for each of the 10 years for which data were reported.
Additional information on the fatal incidents reported by region can be found at

2.13 High potential event causal factors

High potential events are defined as 'any incident or near miss that could have realistically resulted in one or
more fatalities'. Participating companies are invited to submit a small number of high potential event reports and
to select those with the greatest learning value. The data reported here therefore do not represent the total
number of events for the participating companies, so care should be taken in interpreting the data presented in
this section.
104 of the 106 high potential events reported were assigned causal factors (131 of 144 in 2021).
343 causal factors were assigned for the 104 high potential events (381 in 2021).
Between 1 and 12 causal factors were assigned per event (between 1 and 11 in 2021).

2.14 Life-Saving Rules

In 2010, IOGP released a set of ‘Life-Saving Rules’ (Report 459), intended for use by the oil and gas industry to
mitigate risk and reduce fatalities. Each IOGP Life-Saving Rule consisted of a simple icon and descriptive text,
providing clear, simple, and consistent communication about risks in the workplace.
These Rules were developed by using the fatal incident and high potential event data from the 1991 to 2010
Safety Performance Indicators reports to identify the events and activities that are the highest risk and therefore
provide clear instructions on how to avoid them.
In 2018, IOGP re-examined the applicability of the 2010 Rules against the most recent fatality data. With the 2018
revision of Report 459, IOGP launched a simplified set of Life-Saving Rules (Figure 41) to provide workers in the
industry with the actions they can take to protect themselves and their colleagues from fatalities. With a reduced
number of rules (9 reduced from 18), but still covering a similar scope, IOGP aims to improve the level of
industry-wide adoption across the global oil and gas industry.
/ 48
Figure 41: Life-Saving Rules (from IOGP Report 459)
In 2021, IOGP released the Start Work Checks (Report 459-1), a set of standardized and simplified checklists of
safeguards that workers complete at the job location immediately before work commences. The Start Work
Checks are supplemental to the Life-Saving Rules (Report 459).
/ 49
Assessment of the applicability of the IOGP Life-Saving Rules to fatal incident descriptions for 2022 data has
shown that at least 86% of the fatal incidents reported are covered by the IOGP Life-Saving Rules and may have
been prevented by the adoption of this system.

cases + medical treatment cases) per million hours worked

worked
Five-year rolling average

The five-year rolling average is calculated by summing the total number of incidents for
the five previous years and dividing by the sum of the work hours for these years. The
number series involved in the calculation is frame shifted along by one each year, e.g.
2022 will be calculated from 2018-2022 data. For example, the five-year rolling average
FAR for 2022 is calculated by:
(Number of fatalities in 2018+2019+2020+2021+2022)
(Total work hours in 2018+2019+2020+2021+2022) / 100,000,000
Lost work day case (LWDC)

An incident resulting in at least one day off work. Fatal incidents are not included.

Severity is defined as the number of days lost (where reported) for each lost work day
case.

3.5 FAR, TRIR, and LTIR five-year rolling averages

In order to smooth out variability in the annual values for the regional FAR, TRIR, and LTIR, five-year rolling
averages are computed, which should provide a more reliable indicator of performance trends.
The figures show FAR, TRIR, and LTIR 5-year rolling averages for each of the regions and includes the ‘overall’
curve.

The number of days lost was reported for 76% of lost work day cases.
The severity of lost work day cases is the highest in the North America region (59 days lost per LWDC in 2022).
This is a 68% increase compared with the average for the previous five-year period.
Data table 4 in Appendix A provides further information on the proportion of the database that can be used for
lost work day case severity. 99% of the data submitted for the Middle East and 95% of the data submitted for
Russia & Central Asia were usable for this metric, in comparison with only 35% of equivalent data for North
America, and 64% for Europe. At least 74% of the data submitted for all other regions, were usable for this
metric.

3.7 Individual country performance

The safety performance reported by participating IOGP Member Companies in individual countries is presented
in terms of the lost time injury rate of companies jointly with contractors. To preserve the anonymity of
companies, performance is only published for those countries for which at least 2 companies have reported
statistics. Countries with less than 50,000 reported work hours are excluded, since results for such small
populations of hours would be unrepresentative. Overall averages and regional averages include data from all
countries regardless of work hours or number of contributing companies.
22 of the 92 countries for which data have been reported are excluded by these constraints.
TRIR calculations exclude data where medical treatment cases are not reported. The chart of relative TRIR
performance therefore compares the 2022 performance with that of 2021 and 2020 for all of the 70 countries.
The majority of countries in Africa, Asia/Australasia, Russia & Central Asia, and the Middle East achieved a TRIR
equal to or lower than the overall average TRIR (0.90). The majority of countries in Europe, North America, and
South & Central America show a TRIR higher than the global average.
The chart of relative LTIR performance for the 70 countries compares the 2022 performance with that of 2021
and 2020.
The majority of countries in Africa, Asia/Australasia, Russia & Central Asia, the Middle East, and North America
achieved a LTIR equal to or lower than the overall average LTIR (0.28). The majority of countries in Europe, and
South & Central America show a LTIR higher than the global average.
For comparison, the 5-year rolling average FAR is shown for each of the regions. There appears to be little if any
correlation between these values and the regional average LTIR and TRIR values.

Fatal incidents per 100 million work hours (FIR):

The number of incidents that result in one or more fatalities per 100 million hours
worked


worked
Five-year rolling average

The five-year rolling average is calculated by summing the total number of incidents for
the five previous years and dividing by the sum of the work hours for these years. The
number series involved in the calculation is frame shifted along by one each year, e.g.
2022 will be calculated from 2018-2022 data. For example, the five-year rolling average
FAR for 2022 is calculated by:
(Number of fatalities in 2018+2019+2020+2021+2022)
(Total work hours in 2018+2019+2020+2021+2022) / 100,000,000
Lost work day case (LWDC)

An incident resulting in at least one day off work. Fatal incidents are not included.

Severity is defined as the number of days lost (where reported) for each lost work day
case.

Unspecified
Unspecified is used for the entry of data associated with office personnel whose work
hours and incident data cannot be reasonably assigned to the administrative support of
one of the function groupings of exploration, drilling, production, or construction.
Corporate overhead support personnel, such as finance or human resources staff, may
be examples where work hours cannot be specifically assigned to a particular function.
All other data that are not separated out by function are reported as ‘unspecified’.

5. Results by Company
5.1 Overall company results

This section compares the safety performance of individual companies with each other and with their
performance in previous years.
For reasons of anonymity each of the companies that has contributed relevant data and is to be included in this
analysis has been allocated a unique code letter (A to XX). These codes change every year in line with LTIR
performance. 2 companies were excluded from this analysis because they did not report contractor data. Results
for 49 of the 51 participating companies are therefore shown in this section. In 2022 IOGP Member Companies
reported 31 contractor and 2 company employee fatalities.

5.13 Lost time injury rate

The figure shows the LTIR in rank order for companies together with their contractors. 49 of the 51 participating
companies (A to XX) contributed both company and contractor data, although not always for every country in
which operations were conducted. Data for all 49 companies that submitted both company and contractor data
are therefore included in this section.
The LTIR for company alone is plotted alongside the LTIR for company and contractors jointly. The incidence of a
fatality in either company or contractor operations is also indicated*. Detailed results are tabulated in Appendix
B
46 of the 49 companies with their contractors delivered a LTIR of less than 1.

13 of the companies presented below suffered one or more fatality.
In 7 instances, contractors achieved a lower LTIR than the companies they were employed by.
13 companies reported an LTIR of zero for company and contractors combined.

5.2 Company results by function

Results of companies, together with their contractors, have been analysed by function to allow more in-depth
benchmarking between companies. The TRIR indicator has been selected, and the ranked results are shown in
the following charts. Only companies that provided data by function are included, and then only those companies
that reported more than 100,000 hours worked. Results against smaller numbers of hours would not have
statistical significance. The company code letters are the same as used elsewhere in this section.
Exploration was the only function where the top quartile company with contractors shows a TRIR of zero.
LTIR results by function can be found in Appendix B

The database for the year 2022 covers 2,579,000,000 work hours reported in the upstream sector of the oil and
gas industry. The database is 3% smaller than it was in 2021.
73% of the hours reported were associated with onshore activities, 27% with offshore activities.
92 countries are represented in the database, 3 fewer than in the 2021 database. Countries are listed in the
'Countries' section.
51 companies contributed data, of which 49 companies contributed contractor statistics, though not in every
case for each country of operation.
Of the 51 companies, 45 had contributed data in 2021 which accounted for 90% of the database in 2021 and
96% of the database in 2022. 41 of the companies submitting 2022 data had also provided data in 2020.
15 of the companies contributed 83% of the hours. 5 companies covered 45% of the hours, and the largest
contributor accounted for 13%.
26% of the reported work hours were related to company personnel and 74% were related to contractors.
A summary of the key elements of the database is shown in the table at the end of this section.

‘Unspecified (as a work function)’ is used for the entry of data associated with office personnel whose work hours
and incident data cannot be reasonably assigned to the administrative support of one of the function groupings of
exploration, drilling, production or construction. Corporate overhead support function personnel such as finance
or human resources staff may be examples where work hours cannot be specifically assigned to a particular
function. All other data that are not separated out by function are reported as ‘unspecified’.

Assault and violent act (as an incident/event category)
Intentional attempt, threat or act of bodily injury by a person or person(s) or by violent harmful actions of
unknown intent, includes intentional acts of damage to property.
Aviation accident (as an incident/event category)

An occurrence associated with the operation of an aircraft which, in the case of a manned aircraft, takes place
between the time any person boards the aircraft with the intention of flight until such time as all such persons
have disembarked or, in the case of an unmanned aircraft, takes place between the time the aircraft is ready to
move with the purpose of flight until such time as it comes to rest at the end of the flight and the primary
propulsion system is shut down.
Caught in, under or between (as an incident/ event category)

Injury where injured person is crushed or similarly injured between machinery moving parts or other objects,
caught between rolling tubulars or objects being moved, crushed between a ship and a dock, or similar
incidents. Also includes vehicle incidents involving a rollover.
Causal factors
See IOGP Safety data reporting users' guide.
Commentary drive
A training technique whereby the driver conducts a typical journey and, while driving, explains what hazards
he/she sees or can anticipate in the road ahead, including unseen hazards, and what safe driving techniques they
will or would utilize to eliminate or minimize the threat from such hazards. The driver is accompanied by a
qualified instructor who assesses if the driver is employing the correct defensive driving techniques and proper
seeing habits to identify and avoid driving hazards. At the end of drive, the assessor provides feedback and
coaching to the driver on any areas of improvement.
Commute travel
For injury/illness reporting, Commute travel begins when the worker is seated in the vehicle in preparation for
departure and ends when the worker arrives at their home or worksite and the vehicle is placed in park or taken
out of gear. For MVC reporting, Commute travel begins when the worker is no longer driving on company
business.
Note: Travel to and from field operations locations is considered to be company business travel.
A vehicle crash is considered to have occurred during commute travel if it meets the definition above, regardless
whether the event occurs while driving a company or personal vehicle or whether the employee or contract
employee is being compensated during this time. Where appropriate, any vehicle crash occurring during
Commute travel may be considered as asset or property damage but not as an MVC.
Note: All work-related travel performed by workers that are home-based, i.e., work from their place of
residence, is considered to be company business travel.

agency and travel direct from home to the temporary residence is considered business travel, when on work-
related business.
Travel home directly from the temporary residence after checkout to the airport (train station, etc.) or rental car
agency and travel direct to home from the temporary residence is considered business travel, when on work-
related business.
Company mandated accommodation is not considered to be home away from home. This is considered to be a
field operations location therefore travel to and from such locations is considered to be company business travel
and not a commute.
