Text For Citation: 01 Item/Group: 001 Hazard: STRUCK BY
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 the hazard of being struck by the drilling cable: (a) On or about 02/08/04 an employee, while standing on a catwalk directly under the drilling cable, was exposed to the hazard of being struck by the drilling cable when the "snake grip" attached to the catline and drilling cable separated due to improper loading of the drilling cable into the "snake grip". Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard is to ensure all employees are aware of, understand, and adhere to the manufacturer's caution statement and guidelines for the proper installation and use of a rope and cable connector grip (snake grip). Secondly, implement Wolverine Drilling's written safety program to ensure employee training in hazard recognition and avoidance is accomplished. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").tion
