5 Oil and gas extraction is Diverse Dynamic Specialized Complicated High hazard

6 Oil and gas extraction is an intricate machine

8 The problem Important information was not captured in available databases.

9 The solution The Fatalities in Oil and Gas Extraction (FOG) database A database specific to the oil and gas extraction industry. FOG

10 FOG captures what is missing FOG

11 FOG 50 industry specific variables

12 Local Industry State Federal Media FOG
