The principal purposes of this report are to present the safety performance of the E & P industry in 2000 and relative to previous years, and to enable OGP members and others to benchmark their performance against that of the global industry. The key indicators for analysis of safety performance are fatalities, lost time injuries and the totals of recordable incidents. The report presents global results against these indicators, which are then analysed by region, function and company. A code is used for the company results to preserve anonymity. The performance of both companies and contractors is reported. Wherever practicable, results are presented graphically. The data underlying the charts is also available.
