API Publ 2375:1997 pdf download.Summary of U.S. Occupational Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities in the Petroleum Industry.
Company participation in the API annual statistical survey is voluntary. Participants were asked to submit data according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupations Injuries and fInesses, September 1986 edition. Therefore, this report provides incidence rates per 200.000 hours worked on the same basis as those reported by BLS. It should be noted, however, that this report covers company employees only; contract worker safety statistics arc not included.
Significant differences exist among companies regarding return-to-work policies and practices. i.e., for returning injured or ill employees to restricted activity if they are unable to perform normal job activities and as part of their recoveries. Therefore, use of the Fatal plus Dtrvs Away From Work incidence Rates alone to judge and compare company safety performance is not recommended.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) publishes employment figures for different sectors of the petroleum industry. The following table shows the number of full-time employees given in this API report and the comparative total employment figures published by BLS. These figures can be used to calculate the API survey representation rate.
