Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Design - Bolt fell from URA to Drillfloor - 1.6kg x 25m • A bolt attaching the gripper head to the upper racking arm came loose and fell to the drillfloor during a tripping operation • All personnel were outside the danger area. Causes: 1. Incorrect material in manufacture 2. Bolt had the incorrect part number 3. Faulty design - should not have been with welded head 4. New design bolt in 2000 - not changed out.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Manufacture - Bar fell 30m to Cargo Deck • Bar holding skid rubber in place fell 30m to cargo deck. Causes: 1. Poor design 2. Poor manufacture 3. Poor maintenance.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Packaging - Coupling sheared off during transit • Compressor delivered with broken Weco coupling inside skid • Coupling had been sheared off during transit. Causes: 1. Poor design 2. Poor packaging 3. Lack of awareness.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Transport - Items found on the top of container • Hammer and Chisel found on the top of container prior to lifting. Causes: 1. Carelessness of persons using tools 2. Failure to check loads prior to despatch.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Quayside - Rubble found in the Forklift Pockets • Rubble found in the Forklift Pockets. Causes: 1. Poor storage facility 2. Failure to check loads prior to despatch.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Transport by Sea - Item left on top of a unit • A temperature gauge used to check exhaust temperature was left on top of a unit • The gauge weighed approximately 0.25kg. Causes: 1. Lack of awareness of maintenance staff 2. Failure to check loads prior to despatch.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Installation / Commission - Item not designed for use at height • Air regulator fitted to wireline hoist. • Not designed for use at height • Securing dogs not engaged • When energised cover and internals (230gm) blew off and fell 10m to drillfloor • No injuries were sustained. Cause: 1. Equipment unsuitable for use at height.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Operations - Bolt fell 24m to Drillfloor • A bolt was observed laying on drill floor 3m from personnel • Investigation showed that a bolt for a roller on pipe handler had come loose, the nut and bolt had disassembled. Roller (750gr) was found loose on roller gripper head. Causes: 1. Failure of lock washer 2. Poor design.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Operations - Pin fell 6m to Drillfloor • Pin fell 6m from Bail Retainer to Drillfloor, the pin weighed 0.5kg. Causes: 1. Poor design of cotter pin security 2. Cotter pin safety spring was flicked-up and fell out. Considerations: 1. Secure pins with ty-wraps 2. Re-design pin security.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Operations - Grating (20kg) fell 8m • While running riser a flange on the riser knocked loose a part of the grating on a work platform. • The grating fell to a lower level landing 2m from a person. • There were people on all levels observing to make sure the riser was not hitting obstructions. Causes: 1. Roughneck changes level without notifying the Driller and has his focus on the guide lines 2. Failure to follow procedures - Work platform was not fully retracted 3. Person was inside closed area.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Maintenance / Repair - Hammer fell 30m • Hammer (0.4kg) fell 33m from work platform following maintenance operations. • No personnel were working in the vicinity. Causes: 1. Insufficient Risk Assessment 2. No securing of tools at height.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Decommission / Dismantle - Spike fell 7 - 8 feet • Spike, hidden inside scaffolding tube fell 7 - 8 feet to the deck narrowly missing Scaffolder. Causes: 1. Insufficient Risk Assessment 2. No securing of tools at height 3. Bad habits. Recommendations: 1. Cap tube ends 2. Secure tools at height.

Dropped Objects Who’s Responsible Responsibilities Through the Supply Chain Packing - Door fell off during backloading • Container back loaded from offshore. Door opened and fell off. • Further investigation revealed door hinges were unsatisfactory and container had made substantial contact with solid object. Causes: 1. Poor maintenance and fabrication of containers 2. Poor standards of inspection 3. Poor handling of loads.
