Alarms and Shutdown
Crown Savers and Floor Savers
These devices can be tested by slowly pulling into the actuator. Here again, accidentally tripping the device should not be recorded as a test. The system must be functioned so that the proper adjustment can be verified. Crown and floor savers should be function tested at the start of each tour and after line slip or cut.
Smoke Alarms
Smoke alarms in trailers and out buildings should be function tested monthly or following a rig move. Note on the inspection form when batteries are changed each year.
Testing Plans and Protocols
Each rig should have a written plan for calibrating and testing alarms and shutdown devices. The inspection should include a review of these documents to ensure new equipment and or rig modifications have not altered the function of the devices.
