General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to fire and explosion: The hazard of being restricted in escape from the monkey board in the event of a fire or explosion. This occurred on or about July 25, 1994 on Helmerick & Payne International Drilling Company Inc. Rig #145. Among other method, one feasible and acceptable abatement to correct this hazard would be installation of a properly rigged and secured emergency escape descent device or other satisfactory means of egress, such as, specified in Section 4.7, paragraph 4.7.1 of A.P.I. RP54 First Edition, January 1981, Page 11 which would include: a. Staking out a securely anchored 1/2-inch wire rope line attached to the derrick or mast so as to provide a ready and convenient means of escape from the derrickman's working platform. b. The escape line route is to be kept clear of obstruction. c. A safety device is to be provided to permit fast emergency exit from the derrickman's working platform to a safe place. d. The tension on the escape line is to be periodically checked and adjusted to assure a safe landing and to allow the derrickman to stop 20 to 25 feet from the anchor point. e. The ground anchor point of the escape line is to be located a minimum lateral distance from the derrick or mast equal to the height above ground to the point where the escape line fastened to the derrick or mast.
