(Reuters) - In late May, Pemex announced that it had succeeded in bringing its worker fatality and accident rate below the International Association of Oil and Gas Producers’ international average in 2014.

That’s hard to verify because the IOGP has yet to release its figures for 2014. The most recent year for which the association has published data is 2013, and for that period, Mexico’s accident and fatality rate was six times the international average, making it one of the most dangerous places for oil workers in the world.
