OSH ACT of 1970 Section (5)(a)(1): OSH ACT of 1970 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 struck by hazards: Employees working Rig 106, located at SEC 16, TWP 32, R 12, 1500 fsl, 330 fel, Medicine Lodge, KS, KS 67104 were exposed to struck by hazards from the uncontrolled rotational movement of the manual drilling tongs. The shackle pin to secure the wire rope snub line (a/k/a safety line) at the tong end did not have a cotter pin installed to prevent the pin for the shackle from separating from the shackle. Among other methods, feasible and acceptable methods of abatement would be to follow the American Petroleum Institute (API) Recommended Practices in API RP 54, including: Using a rotating pin type shackle, which has a secondary securement system, utilizing a nut and cotter to secure the snub line to the derrick. API Recommended Practices 54, Section 9.2.8 states Bolts, nuts and pins on elevators, wire rope, and catlines, as well as sheave and other anchor bolts in the derrick or mast should be secured.
