Measuring and comparing international safety performance is not possible without consistent, verifiable data. Most existing data sets suffer from one or more of the following shortcomings:
- Some workers (e.g. contractors) are excluded
- Dependent on voluntary submissions
- No verification process
- Inconsistent definitions and classification procedures
The International Regulators’ Forum has taken a major step forward in measuring and comparing safety performance. Detailed definitions and guidelines have been established for classifying offshore safety incidents and compiling the data. These criteria are now being used to compile incident data for IRF countries. The IRF definitions and classification procedures could be broadly applied by industry and regulators to better assess safety performance and identify operational concerns. Learn more.
