OGUK Health and Safety Report 2021

3. Performance continued

3.3 Operator safety performance benchmarking Every year, OGUK conducts a benchmarking exercise so that production installation operators can compare their own safety performance against the UK industry average. Other industry associations monitor and report the safety performance of marine and drilling contractors, which are therefore not included. Thirty installation operators were included in the benchmarking exercise this year. 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. Figure 11 lists the participating companies and Figure 12 presents 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, but even with that standardisation, the wide variation in frequency rates between 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 into three bands by size to minimise this effect. Figure 11: Participating Companies
