DROPPED OBJECTS HAZARDS

NDC EXPERIENCE WITH DROPPED OBJECTS HAZARDS

“HIGH-POTENTIAL NEARMISSES/INCIDENTS”

IN 2009 NDC recorded some HIPO NM’s related to Dropped objects including:• Dropped tools while working at height.• Dropped fill up nose while running casing (45’ to rig floor).• Dropped drill line clamp (90’ to rig floor) • Additionally , rigs reported many dropped objects hazards during weekly inspection carried out on the derrick that are immediately rectified.

IN 2010 NDC recorded some HIPO NM’s related to Dropped objects including:• 4 dies dropped from topdrive grabs 90’ to rig floor.• Heavy gear dropped 1ft while being dismantled by jacking crew• Half moon grating dropped to lower wellhead tower deck after being snagged by other grating.

IT’S STILL HAPPENING – REAL HAZARDS

“So what are we doing about it”?

NDC DROPS CAMPAIGN (MAY-AUG 2009 )

LAUNCHING CAMPAIGN

• Determined to eliminate dropped objects, we launched the Prevention of

Dropped Objects campaign in May 2009.

• All rigs have participated in this campaign (18 Onshore + 10 offshore rigs).

• Campaign material was purchased from UK and distributed to all rigs .

• Posters

CAMPAIGN OBJECTIVES.

Raising awareness of personnel about the hazards in order to improve their perception of hidden risks related to dropped objects hazards.

DROPPED OBJECTS HAZARDS CAMPAIGN(MAY to AUGUST 2009)

• Distribution of professional videos related to DROPs hazard that are used world wide

• New Driller log book for DROPs prevention where all tools or equipment to be used at height on the derrick should be logged and cleared at the end of the job

RAISING AWARENESS OF PERSONNEL

• Provide In-house trainings to explain different cases of DROPs hazards using power point presentations developed by HSED and presented by FSE’s during safety meetings

DROPs HAZARDS HUNT DAY ANALYSISDROPs HAZARDS HUNT DAY ANALYSIS

Conclusion and Summary:

• Inspection is more efficient if carried out by a team rather than by an individual

• Dropped object campaign and training enhanced the quality of hazard identification and reporting

• Dropped Objects hazards will continue to exist on the rigs and continuous vigilance and good risk perception is a key to reduce number of related incidents
