Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: GUARDING
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 laceration and amputation hazards while working on the rig floor of Rig 128 Well Sekich P# 19-21D. The entire top of drawworks drum was exposed and there was no guide in place to prevent the wire spool on the drum from moving left and right. This design exposed employees to the ingoing nip point between the moving fast line and the drum and the moving fast line cable in the zone immediately above the drum casing: (a)Ensign United States Drilling, Inc., Weld County #123 40.61N-104.54W, Greeley, CO 80631: On or before January 25, 2011, the correcting and exposing employer did not ensure that the drawworks drum was guarded with a barrier to prevent accidental contact. The moving fast line cable in the drum casing is a nip point hazard. This condition exposed employees to laceration and amputation hazards. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement-Certification Letter"). A feasible method for abatement would be to install a barrier guard over the drawworks drum.
