2026 LFI Alert LWC#2&3 fall from height
During Coiled Tubing Unit (CTU) rig down operations using crane, following removal of the top section of the track stack, the two Operators climbed onto the intermediate section to disassemble it. After removing the securing pins and while preparing to attach the crane slings, the intermediate section entangled with the sling and caused it to topple down. Both Operators fell with the structure, sustaining multiple fractures.
How do you currently verify that your crew is complying with approved SOPs during work execution? What specific controls do you apply to safely manage rig‑up and rig‑down operations conducted at night? When actual work practices differ from the SOP, what actions do you take to address the deviation and restore safe operations? How do you utilize existing CCTV systems to monitor and review high‑risk tasks on site? How effective are your hazard hunts in identifying risks associated with nightshift rig‑up/rig‑down activities?
A four‑leg sling was used to lift the intermediate section, even though the load had only two lifting points, significantly increasing the potential for sling entanglement. Securing pins were removed before connecting the crane slings, leaving the intermediate section unstable and vulnerable to toppling. The activity was performed during nighttime, reducing visibility for the crane operator and spotters. The SOP, Risk Assessment, and lifting procedure used were generic and did not reflect the actual site conditions or lifting configuration, resulting in gaps in control measures.
