2021 2nd Alert HiPo34 Winch line partted under tension and leading to dropped objects
On 16th June 2021 at 1740 hrs, operations was picking up a 1.5m DP pup joint. While the Floorman was operating the hydraulic winch of the substructure and lifting the pup joint through the V-door, as the pup joint was about to cross the V-door to the rig floor, it swung and got caught underneath the substructure beam. The Driller and another Floorman were on the rig floor. The Driller observed that the winch line chain was in high tension and immediately attempted to stop the winch operator but the wire rope sling parted at about 17m height above the rig floor (weight of the winch line ball is 6 kgs at 13m) and fell through the V-door with the chain linked on it while other end of the winch line came out from the crown sheave and landed on the rig floor. Nobody was hurt as the red zone was observed at the time of the incident.
Always ensure to stop the operation if you witness unsafe acts/conditions Always ensure to discuss potential hazards and risks in detail during the pre-job meeting (JSA / TRIC / TBT) Always ensure you do a proper planning for lifting and competent people are assigned to task. Always ensure following correct procedure for de-rating lifting equipment (OEM approval) Always ensure critical equipment inspections and certifications are properly done and the certificates reviewed prior to use of these equipment Ensure crew hands are capturing design issues during the hazard hunts
