Abstract
Health, Environment and Safety (HES) indicators for occupational injuries have been used for many years, and these were the only type of indicators used in the offshore petroleum industry for a long time. Some HES professionals claimed that no other indicators were required; the injury based indicators could perhaps be supplemented by hydrocarbon release statistics. Typical indicators that have been previously used are:
-
H-value Number of Lost Time Injuries (LTI) per million manhours
-
H2-value Number of personnel injuries per million manhours.
