2020 2nd alert HiPo#22 (NM Drops) Travelling block brake fails
During preparation for pressure test of BOP, Asst. Driller was lowering the traveling block with elevator by releasing the brakes. While doing so, the AD raised the brake handle lever which got stuck onto the driller console. As the traveling block lowered, AD tried to pull the brake handle lever, but by that time, the traveling block impacted on the rig floor handrail. No injury to personnel , no damages observed on the traveling block, rig floor or elevator.
Always ensure that the Assistant driller should only operate the brakes when he is supervised. Always ensure that the driller console in the doghouse has enough clearance for proper functioning of the brake. Always ensure that the emergency brake system works effectively in time of need. Always ensure that all removed parts are fixed back in the equipment after maintenance.
