General-duty citation text

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 12 Jun 03, the employer did
not have
installed an auxiliary means of escape installed to the derrickman's
working platform
(Monkey Board) 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
auxiliary 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 auxiliary means of escape, also know as
the
"Geronimo Line", is attached at rig up and maintained during all
operations.
