Health and safety performance
In 2010, we conducted an independent review of all medium and high potential incidents as part of our ongoing commitment to improving reporting and investigation.
We made significant improvements to our EHS process yet were disappointed to record seven Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) per million hours worked compared with five LTIs in 2009. The resulting increase in our LTIFR to 0.85 (2009: 0.76) meant we did not achieve our internal targets or meet the OGP benchmark.
Total Recordable Injuries (TRIs) per million hours worked increased to 28 in 2010 (2009: 20) giving a Total Recordable Injury Frequency Rate (TRIFR) of 3.38 outside our target of 3.0.
We recorded 11 High Potential Incidents (HiPos) in 2010 compared with 10 in 2009. We achieved our target objective of High Potential Incident Frequency Rate (HiPoFR) of less than 1.5 but did not achieve our stretch target of 1.0 for the year. Paying specific attention to the potential severity of an incident helps us to identify key learnings and improvement opportunities. We have also introduced an improved EHS alert system to communicate our findings more effectively.
During 2010, we held a Group-wide safety stand-down, where every employee and contractor attended a health and safety briefing at the same time around the Tullow world. This was to raise the profile of our targets and performance and to re-affirm the Board and Executive commitment to making the safety of people a core value in our operations.
