Employee Is Injured in Fall from Rig

At approximately 11:00 a.m. on October 17, 2001, Employee #1 was installing 7-inch casings, 40 feet up in the drilling rig on a basket-stabbing board. He was wearing a harness with a lanyard, which was attached to the basket and not the rig. The driller of the rig hit the basket-stabbing board. The basket-stabbing board fell from its elevated location and hit the drill rig floor. Employee #1, who was tied to the basket, also fell. Emergency personnel were called, and he was air lifted to Kern Medical Center, where he was hospitalized for his injuries.
