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:
On or about 09/04/2009, on Rig #11, Concord,OH:  Employees working on the
derrick platform
were exposed to fire and explosion hazards in that an auxiliary escape
line was not set up for
quick evacuation from the derrick platform in the event of an emergency.
Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable method to correct this
hazard is to install an
auxiliary escape line that uses 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 from the
derrickman's working platform, as referred to in Paragraph 6.10.1 of API
RP 54, Recommended
Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and
