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 fire and explosion hazards: Employees working drilling rig #2 at Lindquist Well #7, SEC 24, TWP 28, R 8 in Kingman, Kansas were exposed to fire and explosion hazards created in that the auxiliary escape line was not set up for employees to quickly evacuate the derrick platform in the event of an emergency. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this hazard is to install the auxiliary escape line route. The employer should use a specially rigged and securely anchored escape line attached to the derrick or mast so as to provide a ready and convenient means of escape for the derrickman's working platform as referenced in paragraph 6.10.1 of API RP 54, Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations, 1999 edition. 29 CFR 1903.19(c)(2) abatement of the above violation was verified at the time of inspection, no certification is required.
