Page 59 of 132

4.5.17 – Operating the Drilling Rig

• Only employees will operate the drilling rig or handle equipment associated with drilling operations,

including winches, augers, drive rods, ropes, and cables. Technicians, field personnel and any visitors

must be aware of the location of the emergency shut-down/kill switches and operation of these devices,

and the devices must be in safe working condition prior to the start of the project and thereafter.

• The Technician should never leave the controls of the drilling rig while the tools are rotating unless all

employees are clear of rotating equipment.

• During drilling operations the Well Technician at the controls must be aware of the Assistant

Technicians position and actions at all times. Operation of the winches and or rotary actions should only

occur once the Well Technician has visually or verbally confirmed that the Assistant Technician is all

clear. During assembly operations (auger attachment or rodding connection) no mechanical operations

should occur until body position or hand placement is confirmed to be in a non-pinch or crush position.

• Only employees necessary to run the rig are allowed in close proximity, except during essential

sampling and other activities.

• Technicians will not reach into or near pinch points, the borehole, or the rotating equipment, unless the

drilling rig has been shut down.

4.5.18 - Working on the Mast - General Repairs

• Drillers should not climb the mast to make repairs if the mast can be lowered. If the mast cannot be

lowered to make repairs, workers may use a ladder or may climb the mast if proper fall protection, such

as a harness and attached lanyard, is available. Fall protection devices, in the form of a harness and

lanyard, will be used where workers are 6 feet or greater in height (if a ladder or personal lift is not

available). No one should climb the mast to make repairs while the drilling rig is operating

• During general repairs or maintenance actions Technicians must also consider extra caution with respect

to hand tools and potential slippage actions. Keep tools clean and free of grease and oils, plus

thoroughly clean any bolt heads or parts before wrenching. These actions may prevent slippage and

possible hand injuries. Where possible, leather gloves should be worn (cotton gloves may be worn

where dexterity is an issue).
