Well #: UG 0259
Date & Time of Incident:
12th Jul 2017; 11:20 Hrs.

Incident Description in Brief:


While drilling the 16” hole, IP (Roustabout) slipped inside
the auger system while cleaning it. IP has removed a part
from the grating and stood on the top edges of the auger to
clean it. After slipping, IP was stuck in the auger and his
both legs, from above the knee, were cut by the blades of
the auger.

One derrick man heard the screaming of the IP and


immediately asked for help. Electrician shut down the
Auger. The company man, Toolpusher, and the medic
reached the auger, and moved the IP from the auger to the
ground. He was treated by the medic to stop the bleeding
and then moved by the ambulance of the rig to Adan
Hospital. He was conscious the whole time till he reached
the hospital. Called 160 and line management and informed
about the accident.

What Went Wrong?


1. IP did not ensure LOTO of Auger before working on
Auger.
2. IP has stepped on the Auger without the gratings on it.
3. IP was not stopped by his coworkers from doing this
unsafe act.
4. IP was not aware of this high potential risk.
5. Adequate sign boards were not available about this risk.
6. Inadequate supervision

Potential Outcome:
