Any employee finding an emergency door blocked should immediately report the condition and correct it when possible. Exit lights and signs will also be maintained in proper condition at all times and immediately reported if deficient. B3: Mechanical Hazards—Working within the vicinity of operating drill rigs poses unique safety situations such as high pressure hazards from hoses, pipes or the well, and gas releases. Also, other hazards may be present such as falls from elevation, electrical contact, and improper machine guarding. AEI personnel shall not attempt to operate equipment they are not familiar with and/or are not equipped with protection devices. Personnel shall familiarize themselves with the equipment being utilized on site, and shall at a minimum, know how to stop or turn off the equipment. Although AEI personnel do not operate or have control over the operation of drilling equipment, it is every employees responsibility to recognize potential or existing hazards related to drill rigs, and to walk away from any unsafe operations. Depending upon the work to be done by AEI personnel; a preliminary site field survey may need to be performed prior to AEI involvement in drilling operations. The survey should include verification that utilities and any hazardous buried material or structures have been located and marked and that the nearest emergency facility has been identified. It may also include information on safe access to the drilling areas, hazards on-site, location of a clean water source and weather conditions and related shelter areas. Employee Restrictions and Responsibilities Under no circumstances will an AEI employee operate a drilling rig, a portion thereof, or any piece of contractor equipment. In addition, employees will not: • Guide a drill rig to a drill location, assist in the movement of equipment, or participate in the movement or breaking down of any portion of the rig. • Climb on the rig, stand too close to the rig (especially its moving parts), stand below or close to a pipe hoist, walk on drilling rods or casing, or walk on the edge of a mud pit. • Watch a driller arc-weld. • Smoke while at a drilling rig site. • Refuel an engine while it is still running or hot, siphon gasoline, or park near a rig exhaust. • Wear loose fitting clothing or PPE near the drill rod or stem. AEI employees will not place tools, meters, etc. in a position that could create a fall, trip or slip hazard. As much as is possible, employees will work with the appropriate site personnel to ensure the area in the vicinity of the drill rig is clean, orderly and free of slip, trip and fall hazards. If the drilling is being done at hazardous waste site, the PPE requirements will be forwarded as noted in the site health and safety plan. Clean water will be kept available for decontamination, washing, and dust control. Kneeling, lying in, or sitting on contaminated ground or materials must be avoided or a protective barrier must be used. Avoid or minimize handling of contaminated materials.
