What this inspection record means

OSHA opens inspections for many reasons — routine scheduling under a national or local emphasis program, an employee complaint or referral, or a follow-up after a reported injury. Opening or conducting an inspection is not itself an allegation or a finding that this employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Serious Gravity 01 1 instance 11 exposed
Issued
Jun 27, 2003
Abate by

Penalty
Initial $1,083 · Current $650 Reduced
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970:  The
employer did not
furnish to each of his employees a place of employment which was 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 following condition(s):
a)  For the period of time up to and including 10 Jun 03, the employer did
not have
installed an auxillary means of escape installed to the derrickman's
working platform to
provide a ready and convenient means of escape in accordance with American
Petroleum
Institute (API) Standard RP 54, third edition, paragraph 6.10.1 which
states: "On all land
rigs, the derrick or mast shall have an auxillary means of escape
installed prior to
personnel working in the derrick." This exposed employees working in the
derrick to the
hazards and injuries related to being trapped in/on the derrick during an
event taking
place at the well head.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to
correct this
hazard would be to assure that the auxillary means of escape, also know as
the
"Geronimo LIne", is attached at rig up and maintained during all
operations.
