Analyze Accident Investigations
To most effectively prevent future accidents on the wellsite while work is being performed, be sure to investigate and analyze the results of all accidents, including near misses and property damage, occurring at the wellsite. Do not limit your investigations to only those accidents that result in injury.
Investigating non-injury incidents will help prevent similar accidents at the current or future projects. Controlling the hazard that caused a near miss now, can save a life, and a lot of money and time if it helps prevent a future injury accident.
Don't forget to analyze the data from previous investigations and those investigations conducted at other wellsites.
Control Hazardous Energy - Lockout Tagout
The control of hazardous energy through lockout/tagout procedures assures that you and other employees are protected from unexpected machine motion or release of energy which could cause injury. This includes electricity, water, steam, hydraulic, gravity, and many other sources of stored energy.
All sources of hazardous energy must be shut off, de-energized at the source, and locked-out prior to you or any other employee beginning work around or on the potential hazard.
