Health & Safety Report 2015

Level 3 findings shown in Figure 15 relate to more serious matters of concern. As might be expected, such findings are relatively rare and the number of Level 3 findings per installation is so small that the total number across all participating installations is monitored and reported. Since the introduction of the scheme in 2008, the industry has consistently reduced the number of Level 3 findings. Despite the relative increase in absolute numbers recorded in quarter 4 2013 and the second half of 2014, industry has maintained relatively low levels overall. Remedial and improvement actions to close out findings are of course managed at duty holder rather than industry level.
