2025 Second Alert HiPo#24 MVI during Rig Move
A motor vehicle incident (MVI) occurred during advance load movements in Fahud. While transporting loads (26 Tone) from the old location to the new location in Jabal Area, vehicle lost control while descending a slope & unable to stop. As a result, the vehicle left its intended path, going over a sand mound of 2-meter height , and hit nearby stationary equipment, including a flow line and a signal receiver box. The vehicle came to a stop just in front of a 4.3m dip. No injuries were reported in this incident
Selecting the correct gear and managing vehicle speed are crucial, particularly when driving on inclines and declines (Low Gear Ratio). Always execute the operation inline with the PTW, HEMP and SOPs. Enhance training programs to all drivers on the imperative actions that needs to be followed especially while maneuvering through challenging terrains. All roads, including infield graded roads, must be equipped with proper signage to indicate any road safety hazards in line with the local regulations.
The evidence and post incident analysis point towards the driver not selecting the proper gear (low gear) while driving over the decline. This caused the truck to speed up beyond the driver’s control. The driver opted not to make a turn as this might cause the truck to roll over. Although the inclines and declines were discussed during the TBT preceding the move, the driver failed to make use of the imparted instructions. Road safety signage was not adequate as there is no sign to indicate the hazard associated with the steep slope and limit the speed.
