Abstract: On January 11, 2012, an employee was called out to an oilfield drilling site, customer operated, to perform troubleshooting and service repair on rig walking machinery. The employee was adjusting and replacing faulty parts while the hydraulics system was under greater than 1500 psi of pressure. The service union failed catastrophically without warning and blew part, also launching a hand tool. These struck the employee in the face. The employee died hours later at the hospital. The hydraulics system had not been deenergized and isolated before the servicing.
