Downstream oil industry safety statistics

CONCAWE has now been collecting data on the safety performance of the downstream oil industry in Europe for eight years.

A complete report for the year 2000 will be published shortly. For that period returns were received from all CONCAWE Member Companies who operate refineries which together represent more than 90% of the oil refining capacity in Europe.

Figure 1 summarizes the survey results for all years in terms of four indicators: Fatal Accident Rate (FAR); Lost Workday Injury Frequency (LWIF); All Incident Frequency (AIF); and Road Accident Rate (RAR). The statistics include own employees as well as contractors.
