3.6.8 - Fire Prevention

Fire prevention must be addressed prior to commencing any job. Failure to prevent a fire on a job site could

result in severe injury or even death of employees. In addition to the potential for loss of life, severe

equipment damage can result along with damage to surrounding areas. It is therefore the responsibility of

the owner, operator, driller, helper, and anyone else involved in the drilling operation to take proper steps to

reduce the possibility of a fire. Such steps should include:

• When possible, the surrounding area should be cleared of materials that are readily combustible, such as

weeds, grass.

NOTE: Some areas are environmentally sensitive. This type of clearing may not be allowed.

• No smoking policies should be observed when working on drilling operations.

• Fire extinguishers of the appropriate size and type for the particular fire hazard involved must be present

on the drill site. It is recommended and required on some jobs, that a fire extinguisher be present in

every vehicle involved with the drilling activities.

NOTE: Operators must verify that fire extinguishers are serviced at appropriate intervals and that

an inspection is performed on the fire extinguishers at least monthly. Such inspections and

servicing must be documented.

• Only onsite personnel, trained in basic fire fighting techniques and in the proper operating procedures

associated with the use of fire extinguishers, should respond to fires.

The best method, of course, is to prevent the fire entirely. Proper storage of fuels and good maintenance of

hoses, and equipment on the rig will prevent many fires. A proactive approach is by far better than the best

reactive solution to any problem.

3.6.9 - Safety Equipment

Safety equipment to consider includes but is not limited to traffic cones, PPE, barricades, barrier tape, signage,

A fire extinguisher, blood borne pathogen kit, and first aid kit should be kept or available on site. Telephone

access is essential. Identify the location of the nearest available telephone and, unless specifically forbidden by

the site owner, ensure the team has access to a cell phone (unless prohibited). If the team is planning to use a

cell phone, check for adequate signal strength upon arrival at the site. Refer to section 4.8 for additional

information about safety equipment.
