Text For Citation: 02 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 was free from recognized hazards that were causing or likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees in that employees were exposed: (a) Clark Township Road 152, Holmes County: On or about October 16, 1993, due to the lack of maintenance, the wire rope used to support the racking board did not have substantial strength to carry the weight of employees on the racking board, thereby resulting in an employee falling 25 feet to his death. Among the feasible means of abatement that could be used to correct this are: 1) Daily inspections of all wire rope cables on the service rig. 2) Weekly preventive maintenance of the service rig to include detailed inspection of wire ropes and full extension of the mast. This would also include greasing of all joints and chives with the results documented and retained for the life of the service rig. 3) Records kept of all maintenance done and of any changes made to the service rig. Also, a yearly inspection of the entire service rig done by an outside agency, specifically an agency or manufacturer who is familiar with oil and gas service rigs. Any changes should be approved by the manufacturer and the approval kept for the life of the service
