Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: FALLING
Section 5(a)(1) of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970: The employer did not furnish employment and a place of employment which were free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed to a fall or burn hazard associated with an improperly installed auxiliary escape system: On or about 04/10/2007, at this drilling rig site, the auxiliary escape line was installed in an unsafe manner in that the line was not of adequate length. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method involves the employer ensuring the emergency escape line system is installed in accordance with Section 6.10.1a of the American Petroleum Institute's Recommended Practice 54 (3rd Edition, August 1999).
