3.5.3 - Site Communication and Safety Review

Verify all new drill rig workers are informed of safe operating practices and emergency procedures on and

around the drill rig and provide each new drill rig worker with a copy of the organization's drilling

operations safety manual and, when appropriate, the drill rig manufacturer's operations and maintenance

manual. The safety supervisor should assure that each new employee reads and understands the safety

manual. If applicable, the emergency shut off/kill switch location and use should be reviewed with all crew

members as well as visitors to the site.

If the site poses a chemical safety hazard, review potential signs and symptoms of exposure, routes of

exposure, and protective measures to be used to minimize or prevent exposures (such as protective clothing

and monitoring).

3.5.4 - Walk Through and Visual Inspection

Upon arriving at the drill site, verify that it is safe to enter and set up on the site. As mentioned earlier, it is

important to:

• Look for overhead and underground power and other utility lines.

• If present, verify that the rig is being set up a safe distance from these lines.

• Investigate and note all overhead obstructions.

• Check boring locations for proximity to any overhead lines.

• Maintain required clearance from electrical lines. Refer to section 4 – Drilling Operations for more

detail. High-tension lines require greater clearances.

• Consider having lines in the work area covered to provide a greater safety margin

• If necessary, contact someone to verify that these lines are safe to work near (that they have been de-

energized provided that they were supposed to have been deenergized).

• Assume a line is energized until you have verified it isn’t.

• If in doubt, do not raise the mast - ASK!

Examine the actual location where the drill is to be set. If possible, it is best to have a level and clean area.

Remove rock and other debris that may interfere with the drilling operation or pose safety hazards.

Be sure to follow the instructions contained in the site health and safety plan. This includes the wearing of

special chemical protective clothing, air purifying respirators or self-contained breathing apparatus before

moving into location.

Walk the line the rig is to travel in order to delineate any soft or wet ground. Look for field tile washouts,

hidden ditches or drop-offs, boulders, debris, or other potential obstacles.
