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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

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

escape line was not set up for employees to quickly evacuate the derrick

convenient means of
escape for the derrickman's working platform as referenced in paragraph
6.10.1
of API RP 54,

Operations, 1999 edition.
