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 oilfield equipment in path of auxiliary escape line: The employees working as derrickmen were exposed to the hazard of running into the oilfield equipment in path of the auxiliary Emergency Escape Line due to improper rigging. This occurred on or about August 17,2004 on Patterson UTI Drilling L.L.P. Rig #131. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be installation of a properly rigged and secured emergency escape descent device as specified in Section 4, Sub-Section 4.7, para 4.7.1 of American Petroleum Institute (API) RP 54-92 page 11. Essential element of this procedure would include: the escape line route is to be kept clear of obstructions.
