2025 Second Alert LTI#01 MVI
At 2:45 PM, Rig Driver was transporting two passengers from the Rig Camp to the Rig site using the crew bus. On the way to the Rig site, at 3:00 PM, the Driver received instructions to collect a parcel for the Rig from a nearby location on Blacktop Road. After picking up the parcel, the Driver was driving on a graded road and was supposed to make a right turn at a T-junction. However, at 3:15 PM, as the Driver approached the T-junction, he went straight across the road instead of turning right, driving at a speed of 70 km/h. This caused a sudden jerking movement in the bus. Although the Driver was able to stop the bus safely, he reported back pain. He was subsequently taken to Haima Hospital, accompanied by the Rig Medic. The medical assessment confirmed he had suffered an injury to one of the vertebral bones. Both passengers reported no injuries and all vehicle occupants were wearing their seatbelts
On graded, less used, roads, don’t expect all junctions to have road markings. Always control your vehicle speed limit when driving on graded roads in case you meet the unexpected. Before embarking on your journey, ensure T-junctions are identified clearly on your Journey Plan. The DFMS system is there to keep drivers safe from fatigue – ensure it is clear and uncovered at all times.
The graded road conditions were good; however, no sign was posted at the T-junction to alert drivers. The Road Sign polls (no warning signs attached) had no impact on the Driver’s understanding there was a junction ahead. Driver was unaware that he was at the T-junction due to lack of concentration/focus, potentially fatigued. Driver Fatigue Management System (DFMS) was not installed to indicate if there was evidence of Drivers Fatigue.
