1 Drilling Rig Hazard Recognition Training for Supervisors and Employees This 3-day packed course takes on every aspect of drilling and related hazards. However, it does not follow any other course layout. Typical safety training is rule heavy first and then may follow up with case studies about hazards. The coursework for the JFT class is laid out in logical, pragmatic terms, illustrating hazards and exactly where they exist in the work process. Thus, we had to illustrate the work process from rig up to spud, making up BHA, drilling, tripping in/out, running casing and rig down + much more. This is all laid out logically as it happens, but at key points the hazards, and why they happen, are illustrated and mitigation shown. We chose to use the term JFT or Job Function Training as the basis for this course. The course generally follows the format of JSA s (JHA) = #1 Job Steps, #2 Hazards, #3 Mitigation of Hazards. But this course has over 7000 illustrations that make up the coursework. Very little video is used and typically we use it forensically. Early tests have shown that not only can this course keep the students attention, even if he is vastly experienced, but at the end of the three days the students are still up-beat about it. Some students have said they learned more in hazard recognition classes than they learned in a year on the job. This course illustrates greater than 700 hazards, many of them made more serious by incorporated Safety Alerts. But we didn t stop there, we illustrated the safety alerts. This is the most complete work concerning hazards on a drilling rig ever created. The illustrations are serious but leave a distinct impression, without showing blood and gore. In fact, blood and gore are not needed to make the point. Instead, many of the hazards are illustrated as an accident in progress so they can forensically study the hazards that cause that type of accident. And those accidents are all based on empirical evidence, taken from several drilling company accident databases and the OSHA accident database. Drilling a well is actually a complicated process. Running a drilling rig is also complicated. However, once you break all of these processes down and illustrate each step, it becomes more readily understandable. This is critical if you want a more efficient and accident free work process. If you want to be a better manager of hazards on a drilling rig, you need to attend this course. Why you want this course Detailed and extensively illustrated to provide maximum understanding of hazards. The best program for training new employees visually! The coursebook that each student gets to keep is an encyclopedia of drilling rig hazards. If you have a shrink-and-swell workforce and need to accomplish real training rapidly, then this is the course for you. Note about the Hand Tools section: Could the lack of basic hand tool use, knowledge, and hazards gravitate into a lack of respect for hazards of tools on a larger scale, leading to more serious injuries? We certainly think so and that is why simple basic sections like this were included in the JFT. We want to make you expert at teaching the basics because that is what produces winning teams. 1

2 Drilling Rig Job Function Training (JFT) + Hazard Recognition + Safety Alerts extensively illustrated! Why JFT? Because context matters. This is a vast improvement from all training efforts offered in the past. Look at the different segments below and you will see why. Compliance Training New Employee Orientation (Rig Pass, Safeland, etc.) Typically, this is what employees go through before or shortly after starting the job. This type of training is loaded with company policies and OSHA regulations to re-enforce those policies. Why it falls short: New employees few have the experience to put the training into context. Thus advanced understanding of hazards is not effectively communicated to them. Experienced employees the training is usually reduced to basic issues, wrapped in OSHA regulations and they are left to interpret what that means. They always leave these meetings dissatisfied when deeper hazard issues are not addressed. This whole scenario forgets that these guys are production oriented so, naturally, they look for ways to be more efficient, even if that means shortcutting safety. This is actually quite honorable on their part but leaves safety relatively weak. Safety Representatives Competency training JFT + Hazard Recognition + Safety Alerts (history) Competency training is verifying that each employee understands key job functions and hazards via a paperwork trail. This idea is the highest level of thinking but not can be tedious and arduous to perform. Especially on a drilling rig in a cyclical industry. When all of the jobs that drilling rig employees perform are considered, it s easy to see why it might take years to get an employee to complete all levels of competency verification I have calculated that roughnecks perform 200+ jobs and they have to think and plan ahead and anticipate problem solving. The truth is that if there is no longevity, complete competency cannot be accomplished. Meanwhile, the JFT can teach the job + hazards together, shortcutting the path to competency verification. JFT training bridges the gap between those former methods and so much more. New employees because it teaches the job steps, from the start to the completion of the well then rig down, employees see when/where the hazards fit, in addition to how to do their job. They also get to see overall, how the process of drilling a well happens. This is a true Roughneck School, not a Driller s School. Experienced employees They will love it because they get to keep a copy of the course book. I often find gaps in their knowledge about hazards. But the utilization of over 225 safety alerts in the creation of the course material will fill in knowledge gaps for them. Additionally, they often find it difficult to communicate these hazards and indeed many of them are lacking in communication skills. This course will greatly aid that effort. A picture is worth a thousand words and there are thousands of illustrations in this course. The typical knock(s) on safety representatives is that they don t understand drilling rig operations. This course teaches drilling rig operations and hazards together, as it should be. Common understanding removes the difficulties of communication between groups. Additionally, illustrating hazards in detail provides the reason(s) why inspection items and hazards must be addressed. Typical safety (compliance) training teaches company policy, OSHA regulations and safety slogans. Throw in a few object lessons and it was considered as good as it gets. And if there were an accident later it s thought that the employees just didn t comply with what they were taught. But that scenario forgets that we must push deeper understanding into employees about the hazards. The JFT is designed to do just that. Where to start? If this program sounds like what you have been looking for, and we believe it is, start by scheduling a class for your safety representatives and supervisors. It s a 3 day classroom course including a student course book they get to keep (valued at $165 a copy). The price is $325 per student with a 10 student minimum. Call (931) Graphic Safety, LLC 2
