Preface
More than 425 Hiring Clients in capital-intensive industries are currently part
of the ISNetworld contractor management platform, actively managing the
performance and compliance of 60,000 contractors and suppliers from around
the globe. The information collected and shared by ISNetworld members
includes health and safety performance data representing over 11 billion work
hours of contractor activity in 2013 alone. A rich and diverse network of peers
across various industries and a shared source of data such as this provide an
opportunity for developing industry-specific peer group benchmarking reports
that are unique for their insight and comprehensiveness.
The main objective of this publication is to provide ISNetworld member Hiring
Clients with industry-specific benchmarking information on how well their
contractors' health and safety performance compares to that of the performance
of contractors being used by their industry peers. They can use this information to
help establish a data-driven, objective baseline for contractor and companywide
health and safety performance targets; assess their organizations’ contractor
selection and management strategies; and ultimately drive the overarching goal
of keeping a workplace free of injuries and illnesses.
In this publication, organizations with similar types of operations and industries
are grouped together into the following four peer groups:
• Upstream Oil & Gas (Onshore)
• Midstream Oil & Gas (Pipeline)
• Utilities, Power Generation & Distribution
• Manufacturing*
(Preface continued on the next page)
*Manufacturing includes Steel, Fertilizer Products, Wood & Paper
4 ISN.comContractor Performance Benchmarking by Hiring Clients, Canada, 2013 Data // Preface
This publication is specific to the performance of contractors with operations in Canada. The health and safety key performance indicators (KPIs) collected, aggregated and presented for each industry peer group include:
• Total Recordable Frequency (TRF)
• Lost Time Frequency (LTF)
• Fatality Rate per 100,000 Employees
• Incident Severity (In Days)
The data analyzed and represented in the publication is obtained from contractors' companywide health and safety statistics as reported in their Management System Questionnaire (MSQ) within ISNetworld. All values in this publication are aggregated to preserve the anonymity of contractors and their clients. Appendices I–III provide definitions, calculations and a summary of the analysis procedures used in generating the report.

43ISN.com Contractor Performance Benchmarking by Hiring Clients, Canada, 2013 Data // Appendix I
Appendix I: Definitions
1. ISN Industry Classifications: Industry classifications organize companies into industrial groupings based on similar markets, products or services. A contractor’s industry grouping is based on its respective Hiring Client's industry classification.
2. Peer Group: A group of at least eight Hiring Clients, each with 75 contractors or more, that belong to the same industry classification. Each Hiring Client has to be a member of ISNetworld for at least one year from the date of report generation.
3. Recordable Incident: A work-related injury or illness which requires medical treatment beyond first aid and/or results in lost time and/or restricted/modified work.
4. Lost Time Incident: A work related injury or illness which results in the employee being off work beyond the day of the incident.
5. Quartile: In descriptive statistics, the quartiles of a set of values are the three points that divide the data set into four equal groups, each representing a fourth of the data set being sampled. The 2nd quartile is the same as the median.
6. Incident Severity (In Days): Average number of days away from work as a result of each recordable incident.
44 ISN.comContractor Performance Benchmarking by Hiring Clients, Canada, 2013 Data // Appendix II
All data used in this report is obtained directly from contractors, as reported in the Management System Questionnaire (MSQ) in ISNetworld.
1. Incident Rate Calculations for Individual Contractors
1.1 Total Recordable Frequency [TRF] represents the number of recordable incidents per 100 full-time workers and is calculated as: TRF = (N/EH) x 200,000
Where: N = Total number of recordable incidents. EH = Total exposure hours, i.e. total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year. 200,000 = Base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
1.2 Lost Time Frequency [LTF] represents the number of recordable incidents resulting in lost work days or fatalities per 100 full-time workers and is calculated as: LTF = ((NLTI +NFATAL)/EH) x 200,000
Where: NLTI = Total number of recordable incidents resulting in lost work days. NFATAL = Total number of fatal work injuries. EH = Total exposure hours, i.e. total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year. 200,000 = Base for 100 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
1.3 Fatality Rate represents the number of fatal work injuries per 100,000 full-time workers and is calculated as: Fatality Rate = (NFATAL/EH) x 200,000,000
Where: NFATAL = Total number of fatal work injuries. EH = Total exposure hours, i.e. total hours worked by all employees during the calendar year. 200,000,000 = Base for 100,000 equivalent full-time workers (working 40 hours per week, 50 weeks per year).
1.4 Incident Severity (In Days) represents the number of days away from work per recordable incident and is calculated as: Incident Severity (In Days) = (NDAYS/N)
Where: NDAYS = Total number of days away from work. N = Total number of recordable incidents.
Appendix II: Incident Rate Calculations
45ISN.com Contractor Performance Benchmarking by Hiring Clients, Canada, 2013 Data // Appendix II
2. Incident Rate Calculations for Groups of Contractors (per Hiring Client)
2.1 TRF, LTF and Fatality Rate are calculated by summing the exposure hours and number of incidents across all contractors in the group before computing the rate. The rate calculations for a group of contractors will be: RATE = (∑i N/∑i EH) x BASE INTEGER
Where: RATE = One of the three rates presented in section 1 (TRF, LTF or Fatality Rate) that represents an exposure hour weighted rate. ∑i N=N1+ N2+...+ Nn, where N1 is equal to the total number of incidents for a contractor, and the summation formula is the sum of the values of the n contractors in the group (i.e. the sum of the total number of recordable incidents across all contractors in the group). ∑i EH= EH1+ EH2+...+ EHn, where EH is equal to the total exposure hours for a contractor, and the summation formula is the sum of the values of the n contractors in the group (i.e. the sum of the total exposure hours across all contractors in the group). BASE INTEGER = 200,000 for TRF and LTF calculations and 200,000,000 for the Fatality Rate calculation.
2.2 Incident Severity (In Days) is calculated by summing the number of days away from work and number of total recordable incidents across all contractors in the group before computing the rate. The rate calculation for a group of contractors will be: Incident Severity (In Days) = (∑i NDAYS)/(∑i N)
Where: ∑i NDAYS = The sum of the total number of days away from work across all contractors in the group. ∑i N = The sum of the total number of recordable incidents across all contractors in the group.
1 Includes only the incidents used to calculate the specified rate: for TRF, N is the total number of recordable incidents; for LTF, N is the total number of incidents resulting in lost work days or fatalities; for Fatality Rate, N is the total number of fatal work injuries.

1. Data Cleaning and Preparation
1.1 Remove records where the total number of exposure hours or the average number of employees is missing or equal to zero.
1.2 Identify invalid records due to missing data (such as missing Total Number of Recordable Incidents) for each Incident Rate calculation.
1.3 Remove records where Exposure Hours (EH) per employee is fewer than 250 or more than 5,000.
1.4 For each valid record, calculate Incident Rates according to the formulas for individual contractors in Appendix II.
2. Incident Rates for Hiring Clients in the Same Industry
2.1 Identify each contractor’s industry classifications by the Hiring Clients’ sites they are connected to.
2.2 For each industry (peer group), calculate TRF, LTF, Fatality Rate and Incident Severity (In Days) for each Hiring Client within the same industry according to the formulas for groups of contractors in Appendix II.
2.3 Remove Hiring Clients who have fewer than 75 contractors or have less than one year of membership in ISNetworld.
2.4 Disregard the industries where there are fewer than eight Hiring Clients.
2.5 Assign letters in an alphabetical order (A-Z) to Hiring Clients within each industry peer group based on the TRF ranking. Letters are assigned to anonymize the benchmarking information. The Hiring Client with the lowest TRF among the peer group is assigned with the letter A.
3. Incident Rates for Cross-Industry Comparisons
3.1 Identify each contractor’s industry classifications by the Hiring Clients’ sites they are connected to.
3.2 For each industry, calculate TRF, LTF, Fatality Rate and Incident Severity (In Days) across all contractors according to the formulas for groups of contractors in Appendix II.
3.3 Disregard the industries where there are fewer than 500 contractors for the cross-industry comparisons.
