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 the hazard of being struck by the rotary hose
swivel:
Employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by the rotary hose
swivel due to failure to maintain the derrick, mast, rotary hose swivel and
their auxiliary parts in safe condition as specified by API RP 54 First
Edition
January 1981, Page 15, Section 8, Paragraph 8.2.1.  Among other methods,
one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to
implement a maintenance and inspection program as addressed in the
International Association of Drilling  Contractors (IADC) Drilling Manual,
Section H4, Page 1 Rotary Hose and Swivels Inspection which states "all
hoisting tools on the rotary drilling rig must have daily inspections
followed by
monthly and quarterly (more frequently if severe operating conditions or
loading is imposed) shutdown inspections.
