Review of Recordable Injuries in an Oil and Gas Company by Using Human Factors Analysis and Classification System for the Oil and Gas Industry (HFACS-OGI)

Recordable injuries, defined as occupational incidents resulting in injuries beyond first aid, serve as critical indicators of safety performance within the oil and gas industry. Understanding the root causes of these injuries is essential for preventing their recurrence and enhancing safety outcomes. Employing the Human Factors Analysis and Classification System for the Oil and Gas Industry (HFACS-OGI) promises valuable insights into these incidents, with a focus on human factors. By reclassifying existing investigation findings into the HFACS-OGI framework, this study examines the distribution of causal categories across its five classification levels. It reveals that recordable injury causes span across four of these levels: Level 1 – Unsafe Acts, Level 2 – Preconditions of Unsafe Acts, Level 3 – Unsafe Supervision, and Level 4 – Organizational Influences. Moreover, the analysis underscores the interconnected nature of these levels, emphasizing comprehensive understanding and integrated management of safety risks.
