Climbing the Derrick Ladder
Derrick Ladder

Fall protection challenges

  • Workers, specifically the derrickhand, are required to climb the derrick ladder to access different areas of the rig for servicing, tripping operations and during rig up and down operations. Many climbs per day in excess of 100 feet each are typical.
  • The ladder can be greasy, encrusted in ice, or very narrow with uncomfortable rungs, all of which could lead to a slip or fall.
  • Depending upon the style of rig, there is also often offset ladders requiring workers to climb from one fixed ladder to another at height. If the fall protection system does not provide convenient protection during this transition, a worker may ignore its use or be put in a position where a fall is possible.
  • Workers are also often in a hurry, tasks are done throughout the night and in all weather conditions, multiplying the chance of a fall or slip.

Finally, the transition from the derrick ladder to the monkey board, rod basket, or other areas of the derrick should be considered when selecting the appropriate fall arrest system for climbing the ladder.

Monkey/Tubing Board & Basket Work
Monkey Board

Fall protection challenges

  • The derrickhand is likely exposed to the greatest risks of any worker with regard to falling on a drilling rig. The majority of these hazards are while on the board or in the basket. Ensuring that they have a comfortable positioning system as well as backup fall arrest system is paramount.
  • Accessing from the derrick ladder to the board or basket also exposes these workers to a fall. 100% fall protection is critical to ensure that should a worker slip or neglect to install the fall restraint lanyard, the fall will be arrested.
  • Workers must be vigilant to ensure that fall protection systems do not interfere or get caught up in the draw-works or elevators as tripping operations are in progress.
  • Systems should be designed and installed to minimize swing fall and free fall wherever possible.
  • A comfortable harness and system that does not interfere with smooth operations is critical as the derrickhand can be on the board for an entire shift. This is multiplied with weather extremes such as wind, snow, excess heat, humidity, rain and sleet.
  • Other considerations are ensuring that the systems installed provide protection when a stand is dropped across the derrick, or when rigging up/down the wind board, and during emergency escape.

Raising Operations, Escape & Rescue
Escape & Rescue

Fall protection challenges

  • There are a number of procedures and situations where workers could be exposed to extreme hazards and dangers while at height. Taking precautions and ensuring that equipment and systems are available to mitigate the risks is paramount.
  • Although many rigs have man-rated air hoists or winches, the majority do not. Workers being raised on non-man-rated devices could be exposed to entanglement hazards, and these hoists are strong enough to pull a worker apart. A simple distraction or communication problem could lead to serious injury. Not implementing a device or system that slips or removes this risk is dangerous.
  • Likely the most dangerous and unwelcomed event that can oc­cur on a rig is a blowout and/or fire/explosion. Although many precautions are taken and procedures are in place to minimize their chances, escape systems must be in place in case of an event. A system that provides controlled descent in the event of unconsciousness or injury should be positioned in a location for safe and easy access. It must provide positive locking once connected, which is critical for the safety of the worker in an emergency or life threatening situation. Ease of set up, the ability to modify the slope of the descent and a system that is easy to use and maintain is a priority during selection.
  • Many situations can occur on a rig when a worker at height may require rescue. This may include injuries such as pinches and crushing, broken bones, and heat and cold exposures. Heart at­tack or other medical issues should also be considered. Finally, rescue following fall arrest must also be considered and planned for. Equipment that is easy to set-up, use and provides a safe mechanical advantage is recommended.

Back-Up Fall Arrest System

Suspension Trauma
In its simplest form, suspen­sion trauma is where an individual hangs in a harness in a vertical or near vertical pOSition without moving their legs, and as such, blood begins to pool in the lower extremities, because the muscles in the legs are not contracting on the veins and helping the blood back to
the heart (against gravity). Blood is not properly circu­lated, the individual's blood pressure drops, the brain does not receive adequate blood flow and unconscious­ness follows, sometimes death. DBI -SALA's suspen­sion trauma safety strap allows the suspended worker to stand up in their harness to relieve pressure.

General Maintenance Work / Rig Up & Rig Down
General Maintenance Rig Up & Rig Down

Fall protection challenges

  • Workers are required to do a variety of maintenance and servicing operations throughout the rig at height, including changing light bulbs, working on the BOP's, greasing motors and pulleys as well as installing lines and pins. Some work may be at heights of only a few feet within the substructure or hundreds of feet up to the crown of the rig.
  • Rigging up and down prior to and following drilling opera­tions often exposes workers to many more uncommon fall hazards. This is often due to the fact that many rigs are in one location for many months at a time and workers are unfamiliar with move procedures. Further, much of the guarding and systems in place are removed during these procedures so other protection must be considered and implemented .
  • Many of these tasks also require workers to carry tools and have both hands free to perform their duties, so position­ing equipment must be implemented. Considerations should be made on your harness for storing and tying back tools as well as D-ring location for positioning.

Maintenance and Servicing on Pipe Racks
Pipe Racks

Fall protection challenges

  • Pipe racks run for miles through many plants and require workers to access areas for servicing, inspection and installation. Some multi-tiered racks can be as much as 50 feet in height.
  • Lower racks also have their own hazards as equipment must be selected to ensure workers do not hit the ground during fall arrest due to minimal clearance available.
  • Moving from one level to the next, working along the rack at height and initial access and egress are considerations which may require multiple solutions and equipment for adequate 100% protection.
  • Compelling environmental issues such as ice, snow or rain can be associated with pipe racks. In addition, many are jammed packed with piping making maneuvering almost impossible.
  • Finally, situations such as welding or cutting may require specialized fall arrest equipment along with the unique procedures for the operation.

General Maintenance Operations

Fall protection challenges

  • Corrective and preventative maintenance workers find themselves working in various en­vironments, facing different challenges day to day. Routinely duties are performed at height where workers are climbing ladders, struc­tures, tanks and stacks; often they can be 20 to 100 feet off the ground. Fall protection must be mobile, lightweight, portable and modular in order to adapt to different applications.
  • Workers often find themselves in precarious situations during refinery expansion or gen­eral shutdown services. Whether the worker is erecting a new tower or dismantling a support structure, protection is always needed. In ad­dition, greasy pipes and dark lighting among other environmental challenges can cause trip and slip hazards .
  • Whether workers find themselves performing furnace or boiler repair, general rigging, fabrication support, flange facing, cold cutting or specialized welding at height, complications can occur. Specialized fall protection and rescue equipment is needed for specialized job tasks.

Shutdowns and Confined Space
Confined Space

Fall protection challenges

  • Shutdowns can be in one section or an entire plant, conducted for a variety of reasons such as repairs, inspections, expansions or cutback. In many cases, workers can find themselves entering spaces that are complicated, dangerous and not regularly accessed.
  • Workers may find themselves accessing hatches at height or setting up scaffolding to inspect and repair a variety of structures at the refinery. They can also be hindered in their activities when at­tempting to enter, work in or exit these types of spaces. Often they must squeeze themselves in and out through narrow openings to perform their tasks while cramped and contorted .
  • Vertical or horizontal confined spaces have work­ers climbing down into or climbing sideways into passages and tunneling. In many cases low oxygen, chemicals, explosive environments and electrical concerns can place workers in danger. These types of working environments can lead to entrapment hazards, asphyxiating atmospheres or entanglement in moving machinery parts.

Aerial lift Work
Workers confined to aerial lifts require the use of attached equipment to restrain them from bucket ejection. These workers can be faced with many hazardous conditions such as: lack of mobility, weather and operational differences between lifts. Dangerous practices can result in a worker being propelled out of a bucket or off a lift. Workers require mobility but must use fall protection to stay connected. Fall protection must be light, comfortable, mobile and compact so it does not get in the way while working in tight spaces for lengthy periods of time. DBI-SALA offers various equipment
to suit these needs including: Talon™ Self Retracting Lifelines, EZ-Stop® Retrax™ Shock Absorbing Lanyards and kits like Compliance-in­a-Can™ Light containing both a harness and lanyard.
