Safety guidelines and data reports

 

APPEA Safety Performance Data

APPEA’s safety data reporting and performance reports are an extremely important tool to allow the Australian oil and gas industry to benchmark its performance against itself, other Australian industry sectors, and foreign petroleum industries. The data collected also allows the industry to identify any trends warranting further action. This benchmarking process makes a major contribution to the industry’s goal of continual improvement in all aspects of its operations, and of reducing the chance of a serious incident.

Every year APPEA collects and collates safety performance data from the Australian oil and gas industry. Members contributing to the data represent the vast majority of exploration, development and production activities in Australia, both onshore and offshore and including all of the contractors working for these members.

Since 2010, APPEA has presented the summary safety performance data in the Year in Review publication released annually in October.

Prior to 2010, the safety performance data was presented in the biannual Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability report.
