This White Paper provides reflections on the 2025 Safety data and proposed strategic priorities, areas of focus, and enablers to improve performance. It serves to share the discussions held in the IOGP Safety Committee and to open that discussion up to the wider community. The IOGP Safety Committee ambition remains to eliminate fatalities, permanent impairment injuries, and catastrophic process safety events across the upstream oil and gas industry and the Committee calls on all IOGP Member Companies and the wider industry to share, discuss, and translate the points within the White Paper into appropriate and timely action, remaining alert to the effects of changing activity levels, contractor workforce dynamics, geopolitical instability, and other contextual pressures on organizational capacity and operational risk.
