Near-Miss Results from Failure to Sign Off on PTW
A permit to work was filled out to perform a rig service
and after being signed by the RM, was taken to the doghouse.
It had not been signed by the company man, so the work began
without his authorization.
The derrickman climbed the mast and was greasing the crown
when he accidently dropped the grease gun, which fell to the
rig floor narrowly missing the AD. The RM and the Company
man were both on the floor at the time and were not aware
that anyone was working above.
This incident had the potential to be fatal, if not cause
serious injuries. As a result:
• The incident was discussed with all crews.
• Sign ‘Man working In Mast’ is now in
use.
• PTW information was made available for the crews.
• The grease gun was modified to make its use at heights
safer.
• Obtain heights kits for hand tools and put into use.
