Abstract: In August 2013, the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement (BSEE) and BTS signed an Interagency Agreement to develop and implement SafeOCS, a voluntary program for confidential reporting of ‘near misses’ occurring on the Outer Continental Shelf (OCS). The Oil and Gas Industry Safety Data (ISD) program is a component of BTS’s SafeOCS data sharing framework that provides a trusted, proactive means for the oil and gas industry to report sensitive and proprietary safety information on an annual basis. The ISD program is also a tool that aids in identifying early warnings of safety problems and potential safety issues by uncovering hidden, at-risk conditions not previously exposed from analysis of reportable accidents and incidents. Oil and gas companies participating in the ISD are voluntarily submitting safety data. The goal of the program is to provide BTS with essential information about accident precursors and other hazards associated with OCS oil and gas operations. Under the program, BTS will develop and publish aggregate reports that BSEE, the industry, and all OCS stakeholders can use—in conjunction with incident reports and other sources of information—to reduce safety and environmental risks, and continue building a more robust OCS safety culture. There is no regulatory requirement to submit such data.
