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 a fire and explosion: Employee was exposed to the hazard of fire and explosion due to the failure to erect a Geronimo Emergency Escape Line with a properly installed Geronimo Escape Device at Rig Number 10: This occurred on or about May 20, 1997 on San Patricio Corporation, Rig Number 10. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to install a properly rigged and secured emergency descent or other satisfactory auxiliary means of egress,such as specified in Section 5, Sub-section 5.7, paragraph 5.7.1 of American Petroleum Institute (API) RP 54-92, page 12. Essential elements of this procedure would include: a.Staking out a securely anchored one-half inch wire rope escape line attached to the derrick or mast so as to provide a ready and convenient means from the Derrickman's working platform. b.The escape line route is to be kept clear of obstructions. 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 anchored 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 level to the point where the escape line is fastened.

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 a struck by hazard: Employees were exposed to the hazard of being struck by a high pressure flowline due to the failure of securing the flowline. This occurred on or about May 21, 1997 on San Patricio Corporation Rig # 10. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to secure the flowline to the ground. Essential elements of this procedure would include: a.Secure or anchor the flow line at the end of the flow line and at intermediate intervals along the line each 15 to 20 feet. b.Where chis-san swivel connections are used to make a turn in a flow line, the flow line shall be anchored to the ground by means of chains, steel stakes or other adequate restraint on both ends of the chic-san swivel connection. c.That employees shall not be permitted to step across and/or on a pressurized flow line. This would allow for protection of employees who are working in close proximately to the pressurized flow line.
