In 2013 continued the trend of improvement in the safety field, with the lowest accident rates in the last nine years and the number of injuries down 32% from 2012 and more than 70% compared to 2006, going from more than 750 events to just over 200 in 2013. The injury frequency rate decreased by 28.9% for employees and by 29% for contractors, compared to 2012. The injury frequency rate for the total Eni workforce (equal to 0.35) decreased by 28.7% compared to 2012.
In 2013 there were 4 fatal accidents involving employees (in 2012 there were 2 and in 2011 there were 3) and 2 involving contractors (in 2012 there were 5 and in 2011 there were 10). All the fatal accidents in 2013 took place in the Engineering & Construction sector. During 2013 the project “zero fatalities” continued, aimed at even more aggressively addressing the main causes of fatal accidents. In this context, a video was made that illustrates the “golden rules” for preventing falls from height, intended for all staff (employees and contractors) on the operating sites.
2013 saw the continuation of “eni in safety” communication and training program (with 200 workshops held) and its extension to the contractors deemed most critical; the “Safety road show” campaign also continued, with visits to Eni operations sites in Italy and abroad and the overall participation of more than 2,500 people including employees and contractors.
Total safety costs increased by 10.2% compared to 2012 as a result of the increase in investments (up 40.7%), particularly in the E&P field where more than €43 million was invested in specific studies of safety procedures and standards and, secondly, in investments in the chemical sector for systems and fire-fighting equipment (equal to more than €10 million). Current costs, while remaining essentially stable (down 2.7%), indicate a growing financial commitment with regard to plant and equipment (in 2013 spending almost more than doubled in value compared to 2012) for the E&P, R&M and Chemical sectors, which recorded costs of over €20 million each.
