Health & Safety Report 2018

3.2 Operator Safety Performance Benchmarking Every year, Oil & Gas UK conducts a benchmarking exercise so that installation operators can compare their own safety performance against the industry average. Other industry associations monitor and report the safety performance of marine and drilling contractors, which are therefore not included. Thirty-six installation operators were included in the benchmarking exercise for 2017 data. Participating companies receive their individual results, but for the purposes of presenting the aggregated anonymised data, each company is allocated a letter. Note that the same identifier is not assigned to the same operator for each of the categories shown. The following figures list the participating companies and present the anonymised results from key elements of the benchmarking exercise. The average frequency rate for those companies is calculated to the industry standard of incidents per million man-hours based on a 12-hour working day. Incident frequency rates, rather than absolute numbers, are used for comparison in this exercise. However, even with that standardisation, the wide variation in frequency rates between the best and worst performers is affected by the relative size of the company’s operations. In the more detailed benchmarking report issued to companies directly, organisations are therefore separated by size into three bands to minimise this effect.
