APPENDIX F<br />

All unattended boreholes must be adequately covered or otherwise protected to prevent drill<br />

rig personnel, site visitors or animals from stepping or falling into the hole. All open<br />

boreholes shall be covered, protected or backfilled adequately and according to local or state<br />

regulations on completion of the drilling project.<br />

"Horsing around" within the vicinity of the drill rig and tool and supply storage areas is not<br />

allowed, even when the drill rig is shut down.<br />

When using a ladder on a drill rig, face the ladder and grasp either the side rails or the rungs<br />

with both hands while ascending or descending. Do not attempt to use one or both hands to<br />

carry a tool while on a ladder. Use a hoist line and a tool "bucket" or a safety hook to raise or<br />

lower hand tools.<br />

Use elevated derrick platforms with the following precautions:<br />

When working on a derrick platform, use a safety harness and a lifeline. The safety harness<br />

shall be at least four inches [100 millimeters (mm)] wide and shall fit snugly but comfortably.<br />

The lifeline, when attached to the derrick, shall be less than six ft [2 meters (m)] long. The<br />

safety harness and lifeline shall be strong enough to withstand the dynamic force of a 250-<br />

pound (115 kilograms) weight (contained within the belt) falling six ft (2 m).<br />

When climbing to a derrick platform that is higher than 20 ft (6 m), use a safety-climbing<br />

device.<br />

When a rig worker is on a derrick platform, fasten the lifeline to the derrick just above the<br />

derrick platform and to a structural member that is not attached to the platform or to other<br />

lines or cables supporting the platform.<br />

When a rig worker first arrives at a derrick platform, inspect the platform for broken<br />

members, loose connections and loose tools or other loose materials.<br />

Attach tools securely to the platform with safety lines. Do not attach a tool to a line attached<br />

to your waist or any other part of your body.<br />

When you are working on a derrick platform, do not guide drill rods or pipe into racks or<br />

other supports by taking hold of a moving hoist line or a traveling block.<br />

Do not leave loose tools and similar items on the derrick platform or on structural members<br />

of the derrick.<br />

A derrick platform over four ft (1.2 m) above ground surface shall be equipped with toe<br />

boards and safety railings that are in good condition.<br />

Workers on the ground or the drilling floor shall avoid working under rig workers on elevated<br />

platforms, whenever possible.<br />

Terminate drilling operations during an electrical storm and move the entire crew away from<br />

the drill rig.<br />
