Investigation Summary
At approximately 3:15 a.m., Employee #1, a Safety Representative of Axxis Drilling, was being transported via crewboat back to shore. The rig where Employee #1 was on was located in the Delta Farm Lake, a marsh area approximately 25 miles south of LaRose LA. As the crewboat came around a corner in the channel, a barge had been placed in the travel lane of the channel, and the captain of the crew boat attempted to avoid hitting it by turning sharply. At the location of the barge, the channel was 130 ft wide, the barge was 30 ft wide and the tie off for the barge was 15 ft long. Workboat navigation at night is by GPS, which only shows the travel lane, but no obstructions that may be present. By turning the work boat suddenly and sharply, Employee #1 was thrown forward striking the dash and steps exiting the front of the work boat.
