SEA.COR STANDARD SAFETY DRILLING SAFETY SSP 30 PROCEDURES • When rotating augers, stay clear of the rotating auger and other rotating components of the drill rig. Never reach behind or around a rotating auger for any reason • Use a long-handled shovel to move auger cuttings away from the auger. Never use your hands or feet to move cuttings away from the auger. • Do not remove earth from rotating augers Augers should be cleaned only when the drill rig is in neutral and the augers are stopped from rotating. 1.4.30.17 Safety During Rotary and Core Drilling Disucssion Rotary drilling tools should be safety checked periodically and replaced when necessary. • Water swivels and hoisting plugs should be lubricated and checked for "frozen" bearings before use. • = Drill rod-chuck~jaws should be-checkdd-per iodic ally and replaced when necessary. • The capabilities of hoist and sheaves should be checked against the anticipated weight to the drill rod string plus other expected hoisting levels. Special precautions that should be taken for safe rotary or core drilling involve chucking, joint break, hoisting and lowering of drill rods: • Only the operator of the drill rig should brake or set a manual chuck so that rotation of the chuck will not occur prior to removing the wrench from the chuck. • Drill rods should not be braked during lowering into the hole with drill rod chuck ,laws. • Drill rods should not be held or lowered into the hole with pipe wrenches. • If a string of drill rods are accidentally or inadvertently released into the hole, an attempt should not be made to grab the falling rods with your hands or a wrench. • In the event of a plugged bit or other circulation blockage, the high pressure in the piping and hose between the pump and the obstruction should be relieved or bled down before breaking the first tool joint corp-h&slssp-30 In_1 q R FVTCFn i i mg io,)
