This phase involves the use of cranes, trucks, forklifts, and other heavy machinery to position equipment for assembly, offering plenty of opportunities for workers to be hit by moving vehicles or swinging equipment. Assembling the rig. .
Once the rig is built, it’s time for drilling ahead. In addition to the constant risk of being struck by tongs, spinning chain, or pipe, drilling workers also face the possibility of flash fire. Sixteen percent of all oil and gas fatalities are the result of exposure to flash. .
