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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

5(a)(1): 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, including injuries resulting from
fires or explosions due to a lack of
proper well control:
No pressure testing was done to assure that the blow out preventer (BOP),
when actuated, could hold
pressure built up in the well bore in the event that the BOP was actuated.
Note:An extended bleed line should be installed so that if the BOP is
closed that the pressure can be
vented to a safe location away from where employees are working.
Among other methods, a feasible abatement method to correct this hazard
includes:
Provide Blow Out Prevention that will allow for well control to be
maintained at all times as per API
RP54, Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well
Drilling and Servicing
Operations, section 6.1.1.   Testing procedures for the BOP is outlined in
API 53 Recommended
Practices for Blowout Prevention Systems for Drilling Wells section
17.3.2. and API Specification 16A
Specification for Drill through Equipment section 5.7.3.
