Xinhao: 5 safety details for novice drill operators, how many have you missed?

Drilling rig operations involve heavy machinery and high-pressure systems. Novice operators, lacking experience, often focus on "smoothly starting up and operating the rig," easily overlooking hidden safety hazards. These seemingly minor details can lead to serious consequences such as equipment damage and personal injury. Novices must remember and implement the following 5 key safety details:

1. Improper Wearing of Protective Equipment (Most Easily Overlooked)
Novices often omit some protective equipment due to "trouble," or wear it improperly (e.g., wearing ordinary gloves instead of cut-resistant gloves).

Correct practice: During operation, a safety helmet (to protect against falling objects), puncture-resistant safety shoes (to protect against sharp object cuts), cut-resistant gloves (to protect against mechanical injuries), and safety goggles (to protect against dust and debris) must be worn at all times. Loose clothing and jewelry are strictly prohibited to prevent clothing from being caught in the equipment.

2. Insufficient Environmental Survey Before Operation
Novices often start operating the rig directly, ignoring the risks of the on-site environment.

Three key points to check:

① Ground bearing capacity: Confirm that the ground in the work area is solid, without any softness or potential for collapse; lay steel plates if necessary;

② Surrounding obstacles: Clear debris and pipelines within a 5-meter radius, and mark the locations of underground cables and water pipes (to avoid drilling through them);

③ Weather conditions: Outdoor work is strictly prohibited during thunderstorms, strong winds, and low visibility to prevent accidents.
