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broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.

Initial $2,500 · Current $2,500
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:
Well site; on or about May 27, 2010, employees operating an oil/gas
service rig were engaged
in the re-completion of the well, with the derrick hand working in the
mast during the removal
and re-insertion of the well production tubing; the rig mast emergency
escape system was not
installed.  This precluded the derrick hand from making timely safe
emergency egress from the
rig mast during rig emergencies with hazards as:  fire, explosion, flying
objects, and rig
collapse. The  American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice for
Occupational Safety for
Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations, RP 54, 6.10.1 requires
that an auxiliary
means of escape be installed on the rig mast/derrick and that it provides
a ready and convenient
means of escape from the derrickman's working platform.  Among other
methods,
one feasible
and acceptable abatement method to limit the employee's exposure to the
hazards is to install
the emergency escape system in accordance with the manufacturer's
instructions and industry
practices.
