2.15 ArcheologicalDisturbing an archeological site could have serious safety repercussions in somecultures. Archeological sites are generally of historical, religious or cultural significance.If a suspected site is encountered, crew personnel should be instructed not to alter thesite in any way. Crew members should not remove any artifacts from the site! Movingrocks constitutes altering the site! The proper authorities should be informed of thelocation.2.16 Extreme Weather ConditionsSpecial rules should be devised for each crew operating under extreme conditions ofheat, cold, dampness, or dryness. Factors to be considered in setting up such rules arelisted below:1) A work plan, travel plan and expected time of return should be filed or communicatedbefore leaving camp. Personnel should be accounted for at all times.2) Vehicles operating in extreme cold, deep snow, the desert, or other conditions wherepersonnel might become stranded should have emergency rations, water, radio andsignaling or locating devices. Personnel should stay with their vehicles when anyproblem occurs. Do not attempt to leave the location.3) Personnel should wear sufficient clothing in cold weather to minimize the danger offreezing if stranded. It is easy to remove excess clothing. Clothing should be layeredrather than a single heavy layer.4) Sunglasses should be worn to reduce glare (snow, desert, water).5) Radios in vehicles and all operating locations should be kept in operating condition.A routine daily radio check-in schedule should be used between all field operatingunits and the base camp. Base radios should be monitored during working hours androutine daily radio checks should be made.6) Each independently operating vehicle should contain an emergency kit, the contentsof which should be defined according to local conditions. In extreme hot weathereach vehicle to carry a foldable tarpaulin to provide shade during work rest.7) Personnel should familiarize themselves with the symptoms of heat and cold relatedillnesses.2.17 HorseplayA responsible attitude toward safety is essential from each individual. All persons shouldconduct themselves in a manner conducive to a good working environment for thecommon good of all. Horseplay may start as a slight joke and maybe expected to befound amusing, but many times it escalates to an uncontrolled situation and may lead tofighting. The land geophysical environment has no room for horseplay. Everyone sharesa responsibility to see that it does not occur.2.18 Subcontractors and VisitorsSubcontractor organizations and new visitors will receive HSE orientation prior to joiningthe crew and should make themselves familiar with this manual as far as it is relevant toPage 28 of 136
their part of the operation. In effect, third parties and subcontractors should followestablished procedures and the guidelines set forth in this manual, along with anycompany specific or local regulating agencies.1) It is the responsibility of each person to report any unsafe actions or conditions to thelocal line manager.2) Personnel joining a land operation should be in good health. Individuals who may beundergoing treatment, or taking medication or allergic to particular drugs shouldmake this known, in confidence, to the local line management.3) Personnel should have completed appropriate emergency and survival trainingcourses according to industry standards. This applies to harsh environments such asdeserts, artic climates, and over water helicopter flights.4) All safety training records, medical examination dates, medication usage and otherpertinent information should be available and presented to the local line manager.5) It is mandatory to wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) whereposted or if instructed to do so by the staff.6) Upon joining a land operation visitors should submit emergency contact phonenumbers in case of an emergency.2.19 Fire2.19.1 Fire PreventionFire Drills should be conducted to test emergency procedures and alarm systems.These drills should consist of simulated incidents and include a complete recording ofthe details of the drill. In addition, personnel should use the following precautions tohelp prevent fires:1) Use only specially manufactured cleaning solvents to clean mechanical parts.Gasoline, paint thinners, diesel oil, kerosene and other fuels should never be usedfor anything other than what they were originally intended. If Personal ProtectiveEquipment (PPE) is not worn, fuels and other petroleum products may be absorbedthrough the skin and the released vapors inhaled by the user, causing serious healthhazards. Fire and explosion dangers are always present when petroleum productsare being used. Gasoline, especially, is to be used only as a fuel for internalcombustion engines.2) Use nonvolatile cleaning solvents to clean grease and spills. Use water-solubledegreasers when cleaning and washing inside or in areas in which ventilation isinadequate.3) Use only approved containers to carry gasoline, kerosene, solvents and otherflammable liquids. Plastic containers manufactured for food products and other nonpetroleumproducts are not suitable containers for petroleum-based products.Petroleum-based products may cause rapid deterioration of this type of plasticcontainer.Portable fuel containers should be non-corroding, impact resistant and made ofPage 29 of 136
