2026 2nd Alert LWC#04 Foot injury during running in the hole
The pinch point created by the moving hydraulic cylinder bed was not recognized as a Line of Fire hazard before the task was performed. The hazard of personnel entering the space between the pipe cat and pipe bin was not adequately controlled through physical segregation or barriers. The task of removing separation bars was not clearly defined within the operating procedure, resulting in inconsistent work practices. he Job Safety Analysis and Toolbox Talk did not specifically identify the trapping hazard associated with removing separation bars during pipe bin operations. The pipe bin was operated without positive confirmation that all personnel were clear of the danger zone Repeated exposure to the task may have led to normalization of risk and reduced awareness of the potential consequences.
What hazards could develop when a person works near moving pipe handling equipment? How would you identify a Line of Fire exposure before entering the pipe cat or pipe bin area? What indicators would tell you that the area is not safe to enter? How can communication between workers and equipment operators be improved before work starts? What barriers or controls should be in place to prevent personnel from entering a No-Go Zone? How do routine tasks sometimes create a false sense of safety? How can we verify that all personnel are clear before operating equipment? Never enter a No-Go Zone or Line of Fire area unless authorization and controls are in place
