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employer broke any rule; any findings appear as the citations listed below, and citations can be contested, reduced, or withdrawn.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:
Well site; on or about April 12, 2011, employees operated a service rig
during the reworking
of an existing oil well which required the derrick hand to work from the
mast mounted
platforms; no secondary emergency means of egress was provided on the mast
working levels.
This exposed the derrick hand to the hazards of fire and/or 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 providing 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 a
emergency
escape system
in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions and industry
practices.ns
