� yr. <br /> 5.0 DRILLING SAFETY GUIDELINES <br /> The drilling contractor is responsible for drill rig main- <br /> tenance and safety. The following information provides general <br /> guidelines for safe on-site practices. <br /> 5.1 off-Road Movement of drill Rigs <br /> The following safety guidelines relate to off-road movement <br /> of drill rigs: <br /> - Before moving a drill rig, first walk the route of <br /> travel, inspecting for depressions, slumps, gullies, <br /> ruts, overhead obstructions, and similar obstacles; <br /> - Always check the brakes of a drill rig <br /> carrier <br /> before <br /> traveling, particularly on rough, y <br /> ground; <br /> - Discharge all passengers before moving a drill rig on <br /> rough or hilly terrain; <br /> -- Engage the front axle of 4 x 4 or 6 x 6 vehicles or <br /> carriers when traveling off the highway on a hilly <br /> terrain; <br /> Use caution when traveling on a hillside. Conserva- <br /> tively evaluate the hillside capability of drill rigs <br /> because the addition of drilling tools may raise the <br /> center of mass. When possible, travel directly uphill <br /> or downhill; <br /> - Attempt to cross obstacles such as small logs, small <br /> erosion channels or ditches squarely, not at an angle; <br /> When lateral or overhead clearance is close, use the <br /> assistance of someone on the ground as a guide; <br /> After the drill rig has been moved to a new drilling <br /> site, set all brakes and/or locks. When grades are <br /> steep, block the wheels; <br /> Never travel off-road with the mast (derrick) of the <br /> drill rig in the raised or partially raised position; <br /> and <br /> H - Tie down loads on the drill rig and supporting trucks <br /> during transports. <br /> _....Proje.ct_.No 1232 <br /> EjV1/ROjVME,VTAL AUDIT INC. <br />
