4.3 Asset Integrity Key Performance Indicators

Since 2000, the HSE has specifically focused on reducing HCRs (Key Programme 1). This was followed by a wider focus on asset integrity (Key Programme 3).

The HSE’s Key Programme 3 (KP3) inspection programme on asset integrity management ran from 2004 through to 2007. It defined asset integrity as “the ability of an asset to perform its required function effectively and efficiently while protecting health, safety and the environment”. Asset integrity management was defined as “the means for ensuring that the people, systems, processes and resources that deliver integrity are in place, in use and will perform on demand over the whole life cycle of the asset”. One of the many responses from the UK offshore oil and gas industry to KP3 was to develop and implement asset integrity related leading key performance indicators (KPIs) that would consistently demonstrate industry progress over time, complementing the HCR statistics described in section 4.1.3. In 2009, the industry set up an asset integrity KPI scheme with the data provided by Oil & Gas UK member companies on a voluntary basis at the end of every quarter. KPI-1 looks at HCRs as covered in section 4.1.3, while KPI 2 and 3 are discussed in the sections opposite.
