Objectives• After this module you should be able to
– identify the most common struck-by and caught-between hazards
– take the necessary steps to avoid those hazards
4
First, Let’s Talk About Struck-By’sA struck-by is an accident in which any part of the body is struck by an object that is in motion, whether moving, swinging, flying,
falling, etc.
5
Struck-By Hazards• Site clearing• Moving pipe and casing• Using tongs and spinning chain• Falling overhead objects• Working around mobile equipment• Loads being moved• Improper use of hand tools• Whipping pressurized lines• Using elevators• Using turnbuckles and load strapping
6
Tree Felling Struck-By’s• Figure out the best felling direction• Plan, clear, and use an escape path• Figure out the proper hinge size• Use proper controlled felling techniques• Maintain safe separation distances from other workers
or machines• Wear required PPE
Danger!
Tree felling requires special training!
7
while the rig is being set up at the site, workers can get struck by a crane, load, truck, forklift, tool, etc.
it’s important that the worker is knowledgeable of the hazards present and is aware at all times of equipment around them
8
a worker can get struck by moving, swinging, or falling drill pipe
stand clear of this area when pipe is being lifted to the rig floor
9
while tripping in/out, a worker can get struck by tongs or spinning chain
always determine and stand clear of the swing radius of these items when possible [see next slide]
10
11
if connections break free, high-pressure lines and hoses can quickly become struck-by hazards
ensure that lines and hoses are properly secured, connections are not worn, and whip-checks are installed
12
a small crack or other damage to a hand tool can cause a struck-by incident
Corrective Actions: inspect tools before use; take defective tools out of service
13
cable used to rig this load up may suddenly snap, slicing anything in its path
as much as possible, stand clear of the cable while it is under stress
14
a tool stuck through the middle of a turnbuckle to tighten it can kick back and strike you
use a crescent wrench at one end of the turnbuckle to tighten it
15
this load could shift or fall suddenly striking or falling on the worker
Corrective Action: a tag line would be ideal here; take the time to set one up before the lift
16
this is another example of where a tag line should be used
17
if they attached the tag line to the load rather than the rigging, these employees would be correctly using a tag line
18
while working at heights, if you loose your grip on a tool, it could fall onto a worker or equipment
use a device like this or simply use a tail rope to keep tools from falling
19
Now, Caught-Between’sA caught-between is an accident in which
the whole body or part of the body is pinched or crushed between objects.
20
Caught-Between Hazards• Moving pipe and casing• Using tongs and spinning chain• Working around mobile equipment• Unguarded moving parts• Working under suspended loads• Improper use of hand tools• Wearing loose clothing• Improper handling of slips or elevators
21
crushing hazards can exist when setting up the rig
always stand clear; keep hands and other body parts away
22
while tripping in/out, a worker can get caught between tongs or spinning chain
23
worker’s fingers or hands can get smashed when setting the slips
always keep hands on the handles
24
workers’ hands or thumbs can get caught between the elevator and the stump
always place hands on designated handles
25
this worker is cutting through a bad spot while the truck is moving
Corrective Actions: never take chances like this when the space is this limited; wait until the truck parks
26
always use a spotter when what is behind you cannot be seen
27
belt and pulleys of machines are common pinch points
ensure that the guarding is installed; do not place hands in the area while machine is operating
28
choking up on tools and smashing fingers is very common
the first 6” of this handle is painted red to indicate that hands should not be placed there
29
this employee is using proper hand placement on a sledge
30
hands and fingers can get caught while maneuvering stands of pipe
what can a worker do to keep hands from getting pinched or crushed?
31
this worker is using a tag line, keeping his hands free from crushing hazards
when your hands get to the end of the tagline, there should be a knot for grip
Warning!The next slide
contains graphic content.
32
here’s what could happen
33
Corrective Action: do what needs to be done before the load is suspended or use blocking
34
Your Employer Is Responsible For• Providing appropriate PPE and other
appropriate safety equipment• Providing tag lines and tail ropes• Ensure equipment is properly guarded• Replacing tools that are worn or damaged
35
You Are Responsible For• Wearing the appropriate PPE• Operating and working around mobile
equipment carefully, keeping in mind that such equipment has blind spots
• Using caution when working around potential struck-by or caught-between hazards
36
Case StudyBecause the company failed to do
inspections, the crown sheave shaft came out of one of its mounts releasing the sheaves, the drilling line, and 165,000-
pound drill-string. These components fell to the drilling floor killing two workers.
37
Case StudyA dump truck driver was attempting to repair a leaking brake line. When the
hydraulics failed, the dump bed came down and pinned him to the chassis. He died from extensive internal bleeding shortly
after EMS unpinned him.
38
Always Remember• Secure or remove any loose equipment
before setting up or breaking down a rig• Be aware of and do not enter the swing
radius of tongs and/or spinning chain• Take damaged tools out of service• Don’t choke up on tools• Never work under a suspended load• Ensure machine guarding is in place• Never wear loose clothing
39

control a suspended load being moved?a. use a pole with a hook on the endb. grab the riggingc. grab only the loadd. use a tag line

Memory Check2. Which of the following is NOT a step in
controlling pressurized lines?a. install whip checksb. match thread and size of connectionsc. test connection by running an extremely

damaged

Memory Check3. How many seconds is it acceptable to
stand under a suspended load?a. 0b. 1c. 2d. 3
