TRACK MOUNTED DRILL RIGS OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE MANUAL In this manual the four most important issues concerning the drilling division daily activities will be covered. The activities are Mobilization, Drilling, Completion, and Demobilization. This manual breaks down the activities to further explain important operating and maintenance issues. At the end of the manual we have inserted the rigs safety sheets from their original manuals these sheets need to be reviewed so that you understand the limits of your machine while operating them. This manual will refresh the drilling supervisor's thoughts before beginning the next project with his crew. This manual is in the accordance with, but does not supercede, the Site Specific Health & Safety Manual. The work performed under our contracts fall under OSHA Level D protection (steel toed boots, hard hats, safety glasses, gloves, and hearing protection). Attached is an acknowledgment sign-off-sheet that states that the driller has read and has passed the information along to his crewmembers. The driller and his crewmembers must sign off on the acknowledgment sheet. The signatures will confirm the importance of equipment maintenance and project operations are understood. Mobilization: Staging Area: Talk to the client to collectively come to an agreement on the Staging Area. The location should be a flat area and free of traffic. If the area is close to the access road then the working area should be coned and flagged off. This area includes the job trailer, well pipe, and fusing area. The staging area should be neat at all times (no pipe shavings and trash) Drill Rig Arrival: The drill rig should be inspected before off loading the machine. If there are any damaged valves or switches due to poor chain location, then is the time to make claim that the trucking company is at fault.
