Oil, Gas, and Energy Safety Performance – Delivered by DEKRA
Oil, Gas, and Energy Safety Performance
In a sector where the smallest lapse can become a serious injury or fatality, improving Oil, Gas, and Energy safety performance isn’t optional—it’s essential. According to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics
in 2023, U.S. oil and gas extraction industries experienced 78 worker fatalities across extraction, drilling, and support activities, underscoring the industry’s severe SIF potential. At the same time, the recordable injury rate in U.S. oil and gas extraction was 0.9 per 100 FTEs—lower than many sectors—showing that while frequency may be moderate, the consequence profile is uniquely high. (Private industry average TRC was 2.4 in 2023.) (Source:

Globally, IOGP members reported 27 fatalities in 2023 with a fatal accident rate (FAR) of 0.82; analysis shows most fatal incidents map to a small number of predictable life-saving rule failures (e.g., Driving, Line of Fire, Working at Height, Mechanical Lifting). (Source:

) For leaders across upstream, midstream, downstream, petrochemicals, and utilities, the mandate is clear: reduce exposure, develop frontline capability, and hardwire decisions that prevent SIFs. That’s exactly where DEKRA excels.
