Safety Guidelines

Page 69 of 132

Inclement Weather

• Drilling operation should be terminated during an electrical storm, and the complete crew should move

away from the drill rig.

• Although drilling operations can proceed through a wide range of weather conditions, operations must

cease if weather conditions are severe enough to create a safety hazard.

• Safety hazards from weather may include, but are not limited to, low visibility for approaching traffic,

inability for the driller’s to see, grasp, or handle equipment, and rough seas while working on the barge.

Other conditions can create safety hazards, and can be decided in the field.

• The Driller has the responsibility to determine if the severity of the conditions warrants stopping the

drilling operation.

• If performing tasks during inclement weather, work deliberately and adjust the work procedures to

address the changed conditions.

• Stay away from the drill during electrical storms.

Lightning

Because of the high potential for lightning strike on the mast of a drilling rig, drilling must cease when

thunder and lightning storms approach and are within 5 miles. Workers should take shelter away from the

rig during the potential for lightening. If possible, the mast should be lowered prior to the advancement of

thunder and lightning storms. A minimum of 20 minutes should be allowed after a lightning strike before

drilling resumes.

4.9.2 - Night Work Safety

Schedule night work in advance to allow employees to adjust their schedules and avoid unnecessary fatigue.

Wear required protective clothing:

Orange or lime-green vests with reflective strips, and

White coveralls.

Use sufficient illumination.

Traveling public must be able to identify all locations where employees are grouped together and engaged in

work activities.

The lighting must be oriented so that the traveling public is not temporarily blinded.

• The intensity of the illumination should not be any brighter than that necessary to perform the work.
