1.4 - Planning and Facilitating the Kick-off Meeting
Informed planning and communication allows drilling tasks to be consistently performed safely. Essential
participants in the review and kickoff process are the customer/owner, consultant, driller, and field
personnel that will execute the work. Following review, the participants should formally agree to or suggest
revisions to the project plan. They should commit to rigorously implementing the HASP and stopping work
when any unforeseen hazards are identified. Topics that may be addressed during the kickoff meeting
include:
• Scope of work
o Customer objectives
o Technical approach - means and methods
• Roles and responsibilities
o Site management – owner or operator
o Project management or field team leader
o Health and safety management
o All site workers – stopping unsafe conditions
• Schedules
o Mobilization
o Drilling activities
o Clean-up
o De-mobilization
o Sample management (e.g., deciding if rush turnaround services necessary for analytical
results)
• Simultaneous operations - on or off site activities that could impact drilling activity logistics or safety
• Changed conditions
o Access
o Scope
o Weather (include heat and cold management)
o Work hour limitations
o Construction
• Review, verify and validate hazards and mitigation measures
• Communication between field team, customer, and project mgmt.
o Clearly communicate to project staff that stop work authority resides with every member of
the project staff
o Reporting incidents
o Management of Change (MOC)
o Schedule
• Documentation
o Sign-off on review and acceptance of HASP
o Workplace inspection and audits
o Completed checklists (pre-drill protocol, borehole clearance review, and others)
