Investigation Summary

Investigation Nr: 772657

Event: 06/08/1991

Employee killed when struck by falling monkey board

The drilling crew was experiencing difficulty removing the drill string from the well. They began removing the drill pipe one joint at a time. They had connected the kelly and swivel to the traveling block and were making reverse connections. As a joint was being lowered into the mousehole, the traveling block assembly contacted the monkey board. The monkey board fell about 88 feet and hit Employee #1, the floorman. He died. The monkey board was not secured by a safety chain or cable to prevent it from falling in the event it became disconnected from the pipe racking platform.
