SEA COR STANDARD SAFETY DRILLING SAFETY SSP 30 PROCEDURES • When drill rods are hoisted from the hole, they should be cleaned for safe handling with a rubber or other suitable rod wiper. Do not use your hands to clean drilling fluids from drill rods. • If work must progress over a portable drilling fluid (mud) pit, no one should attempt to stand on narrow sides or cross members. The mud pit should be equipped with rough surfaced, fitted cover panels of adequate strength to hold drill rig personnel. • Drill rods should not be lifted and leaned unsecured against the mast/derrick. Either provide some method of securing the upper ends of the drill rod sections for safe vertical storage or lay the rods down. 1.4.30.18 Safety During Travel Discussion The individual who transports a drill rig on and off a drilling site should. • Be properly licensed and should only operate the vehicle according to federal, state and local regulations. • Know the traveling height(overhead clearance), width, length and weight of the drill rig with carrier and know highway and bridge load, width and overhead limits, making sure these limits are not exceeded with an adequate margin. • Never move a drill rig unless the vehicle brakes are in sound working order. • Allow for mast overhang when cornering or approaching other vehicles or structures. • Be aware that the canopies of service stations and motels are often too low for a drill rig mast/derrick to clear with the mast/derrick in the travel position. • Watch for low handing electrical lines, particularly at the entrances to drilling sites, restaurants, motels or other commercial sites. • Never travel on a street, road or highway with the mast/derrick of the drill rig in the raised or partially raised position • Remove all ignition keys when a drill rig is left unattended 1.4.30.19 Loading and Unloading corp-h&slssp-30 30-20 REVISED 11/02/92
