• SEACOR STANDARD SAFETY DRILLING SAFETY SSP 30 PROCEDURES • Ensure that a derrick platform over 4 feet (1.2 m) above ground surface has toe hoards and safety railings that are in good condition. • When working on the ground or the drilling floor, avoid being under rig workers on elevated platforms, whenever possible.

If it is too heavy, ask for assistance. • Before lifting a relatively heavy object, approach the object by bending at the knees, keeping your back vertical and unarched while obtaining a firm footing. Grasp the object firmly with both hands and stand slowly and squarely while keeping your back vertical and unarched. In other words, perform the lifting with the muscles in your legs, not with the muscles in your lower back. • If a heavy object must be moved some distance without the aid of machinery, keep your back straight and unarched. Change directions by moving your feet, not by twisting your body. • Move heavy objects with the aid of hand carts whenever possible. Drilling operations should be terminated during an electrical storm, and the complete crew should move away from the drill rig. 1.4.30.11 Overhead and Buried Utilities Discussion The use of a drill rig on a site within the vicinity of electrical power lines and other utilities requires that special precautions be taken by both supervisors and members of the i exploration crew.
