API Publ 2388:2010 pdf download.Survey of Occupational Injuries, Illnesses, and Fatalities in the Petroleum Industry Summary Report: Aggregate Data Only.
These data entry forms should be submitted along with the annual Occupational Injuries and Illnesses report for the reporting company.
Unlike the annual Occupational Injuries and Illnesses report, the Occupational Fatality Report procedure requires narrative and other information on individual incidents that have resulted in employee deaths. Each employer is to report fatalities pertaining only to its own employees.
One copy of the Occupational Fatal Injury Incident Report form is to be used to report each incident that results in one or more fatalities. One copy of the Explanation of Fatal Occupational Injury to Employee Form is to be used to report each fatality. All forms pertaining to one incident should be stapled together when submitted to API.
There may be occasions when one fatality incident being reported is a contributory or precipitating factor or happens to be in progress at the time of occurrence of a second (or third) incident which also results in a fatality. In this case, a separate incident report should be prepared and submitted for each identifiable incident which is the direct cause of one or more fatalities; the link between such incidents, (if any), should also be explained on each report. For example, one employee could be fatally burned in a flash fire and another employee could be killed by an unrelated equipment failure while fighting the fire. In this instance, the separate incident reports would simply refer to the employee’s participation as a firefighter; the only link between the two incidents.
A. Occupational Fatal Injury Incident Report
1. Date of Incident
This will be the date of the injury incident, which resulted in the fatality. This may or may not be the same as the date of death. OSHA instructions for determining “Date of Injury” should be used for consistency.
2. Number of Fatalities in This Incident
The total number of employees who died as a result of the particular incident that is being reported. “Delayed” deaths that occur after the incident are to be included if the deaths were a result of the incident. For example, if a fire killed on person outright, and a second died three weeks later from lung damage caused by the fire, both should be reported.
In some cases, a delayed fatality occurs in the next calendar year after the incident. For example, if the above fire occurred on December 21, 2001, the second death from it would have been in January 2003. ALL FATALITIES FROM AN INCIDENT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE REPORT FOR THE YEAR OF THAT INCIDENT. In the above case, the fatality in January 2003 would be reported with the 2003 data.
3. Sex and Age of Victim
The sex of each victim should be reported as “M” for male or “F” for female. Age should be reported in years. An estimate should be reported if the exact age is not known. Three fatalities—two males aged 25 and 51 and one female aged 32, would be reported as follows:
M-25, M-51-F-32
The function chosen should be consistent with the definitions contained in this document. Generally an entry should be made for the function to which the employee was assigned (e.g. the function that paid his or her salary; not where he or she was at the time of the incident). If employees from more than one function are involved, the number involved should be entered for each function.
5. Offshore or not Offshore
A check should be placed in the appropriate box to indicate whether or not the incident occurred offshore.
6. OccuDational Category
A check should be made in the boxes best describing the occupation(s) of each employee killed in the incident. If two or more had the same occupation, that number should be entered in the appropriate category. Examples of occupations for each category are given below:
ADMINISTRATION, MANAGEMENT, SALES, SUPPORT STAFF — Company officer, upper and middle managers, sales force, administration and service/support employees, computer programmer, draftsman, land man, land agent, scout; medical, legal, accounting staff.
FOREMAN, SUPERVISOR — Drilling foreman, tool pusher, production or process area supervisor, shift foreman, maintenance/craft foreman —the one or two levels of supervision involved in day-to-day direction of producing, processing, storage, transportation or maintenance activities.
