Regular Members are required to submit their annual health, safety, and environmental statistics to IPLOCA, such that aggregate statistics for the industry can be monitored. These guidelines provide help to complete the relevant form.

General

The returns should cover pipeline construction sites or offshore operations and all infrastructure related facilities.

Please note that Main Construction and EPC Contractors and EPCM Contractors should report all accidents, incidents and near misses, including (in the column on the right) those related to their subcontractors. In case of integrated JVs, the Leader should report the totality of the hours as well as the totality of the JV incidents (not pro-rata).

The accidents, incidents and near misses taken into account for questions 9 & 10 are those that happen within the jobsite perimeter, or when travelling from camp (not home) to jobsite or during any other work-related transportation.

Please indicate if figures are not available or include other information.

1. Total number of hours worked inclusive of overtime:
Number of hours worked during which the employee is present in the work environment (pipeline activities and associated facilities) as a condition of his or her employment, plus the extra hours put in as overtime.

2. Total number of First Aid Cases (FAC)
Number of work-related injuries (scratches, cuts, burns, etc…) that did not result in a Medical Treatment Case (MTC)

5. Reported number of Lost Workday Injuries (LWI)
Number of Lost Workday Injuries resulting from the sum of fatalities, permanent total disabilities, permanent partial disabilities and lost workday injuries. Note: if in a single incident 20 personnel receive Lost Time Injuries, then it is accounted for corporate reporting purposes as 20 LWIs (not 1 LWI).

6. Lost Workdays (LWD)
