Safety Precautions

Exposure to the daily hazards of drilling can lead rig crews and service personnel to disregard or overlook hidden hazards. The safety precautions listed below should be observed at all times.

Equipment Repairs or Adjustments

Turn off the system power and bleed all pressure prior to making any repairs or adjustments that do not require system power.

Hydraulic Lines

Hydraulic lines carrying fluids at high pressures can inflict potentially fatal injuries if the pressure escapes. Protect hydraulic lines from cutting, scraping, pinching, or other physical damage. Always wear hard hats and safety glasses when working around hydraulic lines. Bleed the pressure from any hydraulic line prior to disconnecting any fittings. Respect the prescribed ASME code minimum bend radius for hydraulic lines. Bending around too short a radius can rupture the line.

Welding and Cutting

Do not weld or operate acetylene-cutting torches near unprotected electrical cable, flexible hose, or hose bundles. Weld spatter can seriously damage the hose or cable. Ensure no slag or spatter enters the hydraulic system.

Replacement Parts

Many of the BOP components, though apparently similar to commercial hardware, are manufactured to system design specifications. To avoid possible hazardous failures, use only exact replacement parts or assemblies ...Contact World Petroleum Supply for details on BOP best suited for your job.
