*F Strategies for Today?

Environmental Pdrtnersbip

One of the most significant long-term trends affecting the future vitality of the petroleum industry is the public’s concerns about the environment. Recognizing this trend, API member companies have developed a positive, forward looking strategy called S E P : Strategies for Today’s Environmental Partnership. This program aims to address public concerns by improving industry’s environmental, health and safety performance; docu- menting performance improvements; and communicating them to the public. The founda- tion of STEP is the API Environmental Mission and Guiding Environmental Principles. API standards, by promoting the use of sound engineering and operational practices, are an important means of implementing MI’S STEP program.

API ENVIRONMENTAL MISSION AND GUIDING ENVIRONMENTAL PRINCIPLES

The members of the American Petroleum Institute are dedicated to continuous efforts to improve the compatibility of our operations with the environment while economically developing energy resources and supplying high quality products and services to consum- ers. The members recognize the importance of efficiently meeting society’s needs and our responsibility to work with the public, the government, and others to develop and to use natural resources in an environmentally sound manner while protecting the health and safety of our employees and the public. To meet these responsibilities, API members pledge to manage our businesses according to these principles:

To recognize and to respond to community concerns about our raw materials, products and operations. To operate our plants and facilities, and to handle our raw materials and products in a manner that protects the environment, and the safety and health of OUT employees and the public. To make safety, health and environmental considerations a priority in our planning, and our development of new products and processes. To advise promptly appropriate officials, employees, customers and the public of information on significant industry-related safety, health and environmental hazards, and to recommend protective measures. To counsel customers, transporters and others in the safe use, transportation and disposal of our raw materials, products and waste materials.

To economically develop and produce natural resources and to conserve those resources by using energy efficiently. To extend knowledge by conducting or supporting research on the safety, health and environmental effects of our raw materials, products, processes and waste materials. To commit to reduce overall emissions and waste generation. To work with others to resolve problems created by handling and disposal of hazard- ous substances from our operations. To participate with government and others in creating responsible laws, regulations and standards to safeguard the community, workplace and environment. To promote these principles and practices by sharing experiences and offering assis-. tance to others who produce, handle, use, transport or dispose of similar raw materials, petroleum products and wastes.

REPORTED U.S. OCCUPATIONAL IN JURIES, ILLNESSES, AND FATALITIES IN THE PETROLEUM INDUSTRY: 1996

SUMMARY

This report is an aggregate of data submitted to the American Petroleum Institute (MI) by 140 oil and gas companies (including 12 subsidiaries), employing 228,209 persons with a total work experience of 463 million hours during 1996. In 1995, 172 companies reported 261,183 employees with a work experience of 535 million hours. Individual company participation varies from year to year, yet 90 companies, representing 97 percent of the number of employees and 96 percent of the number of hours worked in 1996 had responded to this survey for the past 2 years.

In 1996, the Total Case Incidence Rate was 2.13, compared to 2.47 for 1995. This rate is the number of total recordable cases per 200,000 hours worked, or approximately the number of cases per 100 full-time workers per year.

The Fatal Plus Days Away From Work Incidence Rate for 1996 was S O per 200,000 hours worked-or one case for every 200 employees, improving from .62 for 1995-r one case for every 161 employees.

Safety among reporting companies continues to improve, as shown in the figure below. Since 1986, the Total Case Incidence Rate and Fatal plus Days Away from Work Incidence Rate have improved an average of 4.5 and 7.1 percent per year, respectively.

The Survey

Company participation in the API annual statistical survey is voluntary. Participants were asked to submit data according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) Recordkeeping Guidelines for Occupations 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.

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 (BU) 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.

Employmentfigures are in thousands. 1996 Bufigures are current ar of April 1997

Caution should be used, however, when interpreting these representation rates. As mentioned above, the MI survey is limited to company employees while the BLS has a more inclusive definition of employment (the BLS includes contract workers).

Of the 140 companies that responded, 83 agreed to have their company data published individually. However, the total listed for each function is the total for all reporting companies- not just the sum of the individual companies appearing in that section of the report.

Additional copies of this report may be obtained by contacting the API Publications and Distribution Department at (202) 682-8375.

1996 -Summary of On-Duty Fatal Injuries in the Petroleum Industry - 1996 As Reported to the Amencan Petroleum Institute

1996 Summary of Fatal Injuries in the Petroleum Industry

as Reported to the American Petroleum Institute for 1996

One hundred and forty oil and gas companies and their subsidiaries, employing 228,209 workers reported 7 on- duty fatal accidents during 1996. This is equivalent to one fatality for every 32,601 workers employed. Comparatively, in 1995, the industry experienced one fatality for every 15,364 employees. The graph below shows the number of fatalities reported in this publication for the last 12 years.

The change in the number of employees represented by this survey every year accounts for some of the variation in the data. Therefore, the following graph shows the fatality rate' for the past 12 years. However, as with any data, the factors that cause variations over time can also be cyclical, seasonal, trend, or irregular (random). Any combination of these factors can further cloud any visual interpretation of the data. Because this is annual data, cyclical and seasonal variations may be discounted. By calculating a moving average' for each year, we can smooth-out the effect of irregular variations and can thus observe a trend. The trend in the rate of fatalities in the petroleum industry is shown below using a five-year moving average.

1996 -Summary of On-Duty Fatai injurier io the Petroleum industry - 1996 As Reported to the American Petroleum Institute

FATALITIES

Five of the 6 companies experiencing at least one fatality submitted detailed information on the circumstances surrounding 5 of 7 reported on-duty fatal accidents.

The American Petroleum Institute(AP1) has published information provided by member companies on fatal accidents in the petroleum industry since 1933. Each incident is described in a brief narrative and is intended to provide information that could be used to avoid the occurrence of similar accidents in the future.

MARKETING RETAIL

01/04/96 - Vehicle Accident

An employee was fatally injured when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle traveling in the same direction. The employee was traveling on an interstate highway to a convenience store to perform maintenance when his vehicle was struck by another vehicle on the highway. The employee was thrown from the vehicle when it flipped over sustaining fatal injuries. The accident was caused by poor judgment of other driver while changing lanes.

PRODUCTION

8/19/96 - Struck by Equipment

An employee was working on a pumping unit and was stnick by a counter-weight arm. The employee was installing a ground wire on a pumping unit. The employee was struck on the back of the head by the counterweight arm. This situation can be prevented by stopping the pumping unit with the counter-weight arms in the lowest position, by setting the pumping unit brake, by performing lockoudtagouthlockout of the pumping unit before performing any maintenance or repairs.

REFINING

07/12/96 - Fire and Explosion

The employee was in the area at the time of the explosion and received bums over 95% of his body. Shortly after charging, the reactor experienced a rapid internal pressure buildup, which resulted in a separation of the reactor head from the reactor shell. The flammable contents of the reactor were released and subsequently ignited, resulting in a fire. Incomplete understanding of consequences of deviation and MOC procedures as they related to process deviations.

02/08/96 - Pressure Build-up

Maintenance was having difficulty removing an exchange shell cover from the floating head. They asked operations personnel to heat the cover with steam to expand the metal cover to facilitate it’s removal. Steam was slowly

opened up via a hose to the bottom drain valve on the cover. The steam entering the shell cover built up in the vapor space between the cover and the floating head. Pressure build-up was sufficient to overcome two bolts that held the cover in place onto the exchanger. The shell cover’s rapid release occurred while an operator employee was in front of it, striking her and killing her instantly.

Prevention: (1) Report tightfitting equipment for inspectiodengineering (2) Ensure that utilities are being properly vented and not building pressure (3) Train employees on the hazards of not following #1 & ##2.

PRODUCTION

9/15/96 - El&&d Shock

Rather than bring a truck to town and take it back the next day, the truck was parked near a rancher’s home for security. The ginpoles had been left down. The first two employees to anive started the truck and began to raise the ginpoles. One employee was in the truck and the other was holding tension on the cable as the poles were raised. The gin poles came into contact with primary electrical lines while the employee was holding the cable. Being used to working on relatively open well locations, neither employee took a minute to look around to be sure there was clearance for the poles. All employees should take a couple of minutes to be sure everyone knows the tasks, have proper tools and is safe.
