Deduction overview
Recordable incidents, Spills, and Well Control Events are assessed and impact performance scoring. The severity of the incident designates point amortization. Not all deductions are amortizable.
Recordable Incidents
Amortization
Point amortization begins on the date issued on the assessment, not on the date of the incident. Eligible incidents will amortize at a rate of 3% per year.
| Percent Deduction | Years to Amortize |
|---|---|
| 3% | 1 Year |
| 10% | 3 Years |
| 17% | Ineligible for Amortization |
Deduction Criteria
Score reductions and criteria are outlined below, utilizing classifications developed by the US Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). Amortizable incidents are indicated below and outlined in the following table.
| Deduction (%) | Classification | |
|---|---|---|
| Amortizable | No Point Reduction | First Aid: an incident requiring medical attention, which can be administered onsite or at the location of the incident. Examples include cleaning/bandaging minor cuts, drinking fluids to reduce heat stress, etc. |
| 3% | Medical Aid: a work-related incident requiring medical treatment; for example, the use of prescription medication, the necessity of wound closing devices, etc. | |
| 10% | Restricted Work: a work-related injury or illness that results in a physician recommending a job restriction or preventing an employee from performing one or more of the routine functions of his or her job, or from working the full workday. | |
| 10% | A Lost Time Incident (LTI) resulting in temporary partial disability and/or hospitalization for one day or less. Examples include smashed fingers, broken bones, etc. | |
| Non-Amortizable | 17% or Permanent Rating Deduction to Silver | A Lost Time Incident (LTI) resulting in permanent partial disability and/or requiring consecutive days of hospitalization. Examples include small amputation, hearing loss, partial loss of vision, etc. |
| A Lost Time Incident (LTI) resulting in permanent total disability or fatality. Examples include large amputation, full loss of vision, paralysis, or death. |
Reportable Spills
Amortization
Point amortization begins the first year of assessment after the state or regulatory agency deems the spill remediated. If the spill is deemed remediated within the assessment year, the full year of amortization will be counted during reassessment.
| Classification | Percent Deduction | Years to Amortize |
|---|---|---|
| < 1bbl Spill Outside of Containment | 3% | 1 Year |
| > 1bbl Spill Outside of Containment | 10% | 3 Years |
| On-site Hazardous Spill Outside of Containment | 17% | 3 Years |
| Off-site Non-Hazardous Spill | 17% | 3 Years |
| Spill that has entered an Off-site Body of Water | 17% | Ineligible for Amortization |
| Off-site Hazardous Spill | 17% | Ineligible for Amortization |
Deduction Criteria
Spill deductions based on reportable spills are outlined below. Deductions are only applicable for spills deemed reportable by the regulatory agency having jurisdiction. Deductions eligible for amortization begin once the regulatory agency deems the spill remediated, not on the date of the spill.
Well Control
Amortization
Point deductions associated with well control events are not eligible for amortization.
Deduction Criteria
TrustWell defines a well control event as an incident in which the Emergency Action Plan was enacted, with a prolonged period where control of the well was not maintained. This encompasses events such as uncontrolled blowouts, significant air releases, fires, etc.
| Classification | Percent Deduction | Years to Amortize |
|---|---|---|
| Loss of Well Control | 17% | Ineligible for Amortization |
