Seville III - "Risky Rigs" - Service Rig Exposures & Controls
This presentation will explore common accidents associated with service rigs, key areas for safety inspections, the shortcuts often taken by rig hands, and the engineering controls that can be implemented to mitigate risks and enhance overall safety.
1:30 PM - 2:25 PMWed
Speakers
Service rigs pose significantly greater risks than drilling rigs due to factors such as reduced supervision, frequent misuse, tight schedules, and hourly incentives that encourage shortcuts. These “safety” practices are critical to ensuring that rig hands go home each day.
