Once on site, before <br /> drilling equipment is moved,the travel route shall again be visually surveyed for overhead and <br /> terrain hazards. Document possible hazards and communicate them to the drilling crew. <br /> • Use only drilling equipment equipped with two easily-accessible emergency shutdown devices, <br /> one for the operator and one for the helper. Shutdown devices should be tested at the <br /> beginning of each day. <br /> • Do not transport drilling equipment with the mast in the upward position. <br /> • Extend outriggers per the manufacturer's specifications. <br /> • Monitor weather conditions. Operations shall cease during electrical storms or when electrical <br /> storms are imminent. <br /> • Wearing of loose clothing(e.g.,open shirts,hooded sweatshirts,etc)is not permitted. <br /> • When appropriate use auger guides on hard surfaces. <br /> • Verbally alert employees and visually ensure employees are clear from dangerous parts of <br /> equipment prior to starting or engaging equipment. <br /> • Channel the discharge of drilling fluids away from the work area to prevent the ponding of <br /> water. <br /> • Use hoists only for their designed intent. Hoists shall not be loaded beyond their rated <br /> capacity. Steps shall be taken to prevent two-blocking of hoists(the condition when the lower <br /> load block or hook assembly comes in contact with the upper load block, or when the load <br /> block comes in contact with the boom tip). <br /> Deleted:Drilling-H.Mit <br /> Deleted:7/7/2006 —, <br /> L7r'illi tv-!tazA4ir.du�doc Page 1 of 2 — -- -- --- <br />
