0 <br /> Special precautions must be taken for handling fuel and refueling <br /> the drill rig or carrier. <br /> • Only use the type and quality of fuel recommended by the <br /> engine manufacturer. <br /> • Refuel in a well-ventilated area. <br /> • Do not fill fuel tanks while the engine is running. Turn <br /> off all electrical switches. <br /> • Do not spill fuel on hot surfaces. clean any spillage <br /> before starting an engine. <br /> • wipe up spilled fuel with cotton rags or cloths - do not <br /> use wool or metallic cloth. <br /> • Keep open lights, lighted smoking materials, and flames <br /> or sparking equipment well away from the fueling area. <br /> • Turn off heaters in carrier cabs when refueling the <br /> carrier or the drill rig. <br /> Do not fill portable fuel containers completely full to <br /> allow expansion of the fuel during temperature changes. <br /> • Keep the fuel nozzle in contact with the tank being <br /> filled to prevent static sparks from igniting the fuel. <br /> • Do not transport portable fuel containers in the vehicle <br /> or carrier cab with personnel. <br /> Keep fuel containers and hoses in contact with a metal <br /> surface during travel to prevent the buildup of static <br /> charge. <br /> 2.5.22 . First Aid <br /> At least one member of the drill crew, preferably the drilling <br /> safety supervisor, should be trained to perform first aid. First <br /> aid is taught on a person-to-person basis, not by prrvi.ding or <br /> reading a manual. Manuals should only provide continuing reminders <br /> and be used for reference. It is suggested that courses provided <br /> or sponsored by the American Red cross or a similar organization <br /> would best satisfy the requirements of first aid training for drill <br /> crews. <br /> For drilling operations, it is particularly important that the <br /> individual responsible for first aid should be able to recognize <br /> the symptoms and be able to provide first aid for electrical shock, <br /> heart attack, stroke, broken bones, eye injury, snake bite, and <br /> cuts or abrasions to the skin. Again, first aid for these <br /> situations is best taught to drill crew members by instructors <br /> qualified by an agency such as the American Red Cross. <br /> A first aid kit should be available and well maintained on each <br /> drill site. <br /> 2.5.23 Drill Ric Utilization <br /> Do not attempt to exceed manufacturers' ratings of speed, force, <br /> torque, pressure, flow, etc. only use the drill rig and tools for <br /> the purposes that they are intended and designed. <br /> 2.5-19 <br />
