3.7 - Moving People and Equipment at the Site

Navigating across the site requires special attention. Many safety incidents occur in and around moving

vehicles and equipment. The following guidelines will help eliminate some common dangers.

3.7.1 - Placing the Equipment

Figure 3.1 – Placing Equipment

The following safety suggestions relate to off-road movement:

• Never drive onto an off-road site or move a drill rig without first walking the route to check for

depressions, rocks, stumps, gullies and similar obstacles. Be aware that overhead clearance

requirements can vary dramatically as the vehicle rocks up and down while driving over obstacles

and rough terrain.

• Check the brakes of the drill rig carrier before traveling, particularly on rough, uneven, or hilly

ground.

• Check the complete drive train of a carrier at least weekly for loose or damaged bolts, nuts, studs,

shafts, and mounting.

• Discharge all passengers before moving a drill rig on rough or hilly terrain.

• Use caution when traveling side-hill. Conservatively evaluate side-hill capability of drill rigs

because the arbitrary addition of drilling tools may raise the center of mass. When possible, travel

directly uphill or downhill. Increase tire-pressures before traveling in hilly terrain (do not exceed

rated tire pressure).

• Attempt to cross obstacles such as small logs and small erosion channels or ditches squarely, not at

an angle.

• Use the assistance of someone on the ground as a guide when lateral or overhead clearance is close.

• After the drill has been moved to a new drilling site, set all brakes and locks. When grades are steep,

block the wheels.

• Never move a drill rig with the mast up.

• Maintain eye contact with the operator when directing the rig on to a boring location.

• Always walk around the truck prior to backing to assure that the area behind the truck is clear of

equipment and workers.

• Never back out of a site onto a highway, unless traffic control is provided.

• Always position the vehicle in the safest possible place at drilling locations

• When working in a lane-closure do not enter the lane closure until it is set up, do not work in an

improperly set up lane closure.

• CDL holders required by DMV to wear corrective lenses must wear them at all times performing

Safety sensitive duties.
