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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

(b)On or about 1/11/07, at Richardson Well #17, Rig #9, outside Post TX: The derrickman was exposed to fire and explosion hazards due to not having the geronimo line in place while conducting well servicing operations. (c)On or about 1/11/07, at Richardson Well #17, Rig #9, outside Post TX: Employees were exposed to fire and struck by hazards due to having vehicles parked within the guy wires while conducting well servicing operations. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to follow American Petroleum Institute (API) RP 54 which requires the use of H2S detection equipment; emergency escape lines for the derrickman; and restricts the parking of vehicles within the fall line of the derrick.
