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: In that employees working at a height of approximately 50 feet in the rig mast on or about December 4, 2009 did not have a secondary means of escape anchored to a secure point at ground level. The employer did not properly install a secondary means of escape for the employee to use in the event of an emergency when working in the derrick. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct the improperly anchored emergency escape line is to identify a safe landing area on the site and to install an anchor meeting the manufacturer's recommendation prior to conducting well servicing operations.
