2025 Second Alert LTI#12_Tyre blowout _MVI
While Chief Mechanic and Senior Mechanic were working on fixing the kicker cylinder on the trough of pipe-cat, after facing difficulties to install the cylinder pin manually.Chief Mechanic decided to extend the cylinder hydraulically while senior mechanic was holding the cylinder using prybar aligning the cylinder piston with kicker arm (to avoid the cylinder from swinging down), suddenly the cylinder retracted, and senior mechanic fingers trapped between the bar and pipe-cat trough. (left hand ring finger and right-hand index finger). First aid was administered to IP by rig medic and then referred to PAC clinic and later to Salalah Hospital
Are you satisfied with implementation of isolation requirements? Are work orders for pipe cat kicker covering all required instructions? Do you have specific JSA to work on pipe-cat kickers?
Senior Mechanic was holding the prybar, and his hands were exposed to pinch points Chief Mechanic was distracted while discussing with Sr. mechanic and lost grip on overridden button, allowing kicker to be activated. This job was conducted for first time. JSA and OEM guideline was not followed while fixing pipe cat kicker pin Supervisors failed to follow the PTW requirements, especially isolation procedure and normalized the risk
