API Publ 2377:1999 pdf download.As Reported to the American Petroleum Institute
Participation in the API annual survey is voluntary and company participation varies from year to year. Therefore, caution should be exercised when using this data to characterize the performance of the industry as a whole. However, 84 companies that responded to this year’s survey also responded to last year’s survey. These 84 companies represent 86 percent of the total number of employees and 86 percent of the total number of hours reported to API for 1998. Participants were asked to submit data according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupational Injuries and Illnesses, 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 are not included. Of the 118 companies that responded to the survey 86 agreed to have their company data published individually. However, the total listed for each function is the total for all 118 reporting companies. 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 Days 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. Caution should be used, however, when interpreting these representation rates.
