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 condition(s) listed below: a) The weight indicator diaphragm was mounted on the dead line at a height of approximately 6.5 feet. This object was not secured to the derrick or mast by a separate safety line as recommeded by Section 8.10.2 of the American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 54- 92. Employees were thus not protected against the hazards of being struck by this object, in the event that it became detached from the dead line or the dead line became slack. Among other things, one feasible method of abating this hazard is to secure the diaphragm to the derrick or mast by a substantial safety chain.
