On behalf of the Chair of the HSE & CSR Committee, Giovanni Muriana, we would like to remind our Regular Members that, as a condition of membership, they are required to submit their annual health, safety and environmental statistics to IPLOCA, such that aggregate statistics for the industry can be collected and monitored via the annual statistics report issued in September.

This information is also welcome from our Associate Members who have field construction activities. HSE data collection is crucial for IPLOCA to measure HSE performance through statistics and analyse results to identify the major causes of recurrent issues. For this reason, we kindly request you to submit your company’s statistics
