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 a ruptured diverter (washington head): (a)Cannon Oil & Gas, Rio Blanco County; Meeker, CO: On or before 12/21/02 the employer did not ensure that the employees followed the step by step operating procedure when conducting the "landing the well" procedure. In accordance with API RP-54 5.1.3, employees should receive instruction in correct work methods to reduce chance of injury to themselves or fellow employees. A safety program should be established and maintained. Ineffective employee training exposed employees to a struck by hazard due to overpressurization that resulted in an amputation. Among other methods, one feasible and acceptable abatement method to correct this hazard would be to ensure that employees are educated and adequately trained in recognition, avoidance and prevention of unsafe conditions at the jobsite. Abatement Note: Abatement certification and documentation are required for this item (see enclosed "Sample Abatement Certification Letter").
