4.10 - Wire Rope, Hoists and Cat Head Safety
This section concerns rotating equipment, catheads, wire ropes, and hoists (the part of the drilling rig which
may cause serious injuries), and drilling techniques most commonly used during auger and rotary drilling:
• Use tools only for the job for which they were intended.
• Stay clear of cables while lifting equipment or while drilling rig is under heavy strain.
• Do not ride on hook, ropes, or other traveling lines of the rig.
• When moving or hoisting stabilizers or drill collars, tag lines should always be used. A helper should not
use his hands to hold or control heavy tooling. Instead, he should loop a rope around it and hold onto
both ends of the rope.
• Inspect pulley sheaves for wear and cable and rope positioning.
