General-duty citation text
Section 5(a)(1): 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 fall hazards: (a) On or about April 25, 2013, and at times prior to that date, for employees exposed to an approximate 60-foot fall hazard while working from the derrickman's working platform where the employer had installed an emergency egress "Geronimo" safety slide anchor approximately 90 feet from the wellbore and was secured with only one cable clamp at Bullinger 1-30 SWD, Dickinson, ND. Abatement Note: Among other methods, feasible and acceptable abatement methods to correct the hazard would be for the employer to correctly install the "Geronimo" safety slide ground anchor out to a minimum distance of twice the height of the derrickman's working platform to create the recommended maximum angle of descent or to install a controlled descent apparatus to limit the distance required by a standard "Geronimo" safety slide ground anchor in accordance with Geronimo Manufacturing, Inc. Operators Manual, pages 9-11, INSTALLATION, Illustrations 1 and 3. Also the (API) American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 54, Third Edition, "Recommended Practice for Occupational Safety for Oil and Gas Well Drilling and Servicing Operations", section 6.10, AUXILLARY ESCAPE, subsection 6.10.1a, "It is recommended that the ground anchor point of the escape line should be located a minimum lateral distance from the derrick or mast equal to two times the height of the work platform." In addition, to correct the hazard would be for the employer to correctly install and secure the "Geronimo" safety slide ground anchor cable by using at least three (API) American Petroleum Institute approved cable clamps in accordance with Geronimo Manufacturing, Inc. Operators Manual, pages 9-11, "INSTALLATION", Illustrations 2 and 3.
