Figure 12 compares the UK offshore oil and gas industry’s performance with other European offshore sectors, based on the lost time injury frequency (LTIF) data from the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers (IOGP). 3 This comparison demonstrates that the UK remains below the European average and had a lower LTI frequency than directly comparable sectors in the North Sea, with 0.52 LTIs per million man-hours compared with 0.96 in the Norwegian sector.
