Turner Staffing Group’s Post

The end-of-day debrief. Before leaving a job site, all equipment is shut down and secured, and workers perform maintenance checks to make sure everything's ready to go for the following day. This goes for crane operators, graders, riggers, concrete pourers — you operate it, you inspect it. Then it's time to go over the day's work with everyone on-site and plan for what's to come. That way, not matter how many different teams are working together on a project, we're always helping each other stay sharp and complete the project as safely and efficiently as possible. #constructionsite #construction #safety #nexgencrane #craneandrigging

Working with heavy mobile equipment is very hazardous.....it can also be "deadly" Thanks to the MSHA for sharing these learnings to avoid future related fatalities. MINE FATALITY – On June 22, 2023, a contract bulldozer operator died when the bulldozer he was operating backed off the edge of a highwall. The bulldozer operator was clearing the bench in preparation for drilling and blasting and had removed the berms along the edge. Best Practices: Install berms, signs, or devices to identify the edge of benches. Perform workplace examinations and correct hazardous conditions before beginning work and as ground conditions warrant. Train equipment operators to identify dangerous conditions and to keep the bulldozer blade between them and the edge near drop-offs.

Some good advice from a solid hand !

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ Greetings colleagues, any experience with this equipment that is so dangerous for the equipment that is on the drill table? ⚠️ TRAVELLING BLOCK 🔥 Set of pulleys that is linked or connected to the crown block with the drilling cable conveniently threaded. This allows the block to move up or down relative to the drill floor. The number of times the drilling cable is passed through the block's pulleys is called a “rope” or line. For example, a cable with 10 ropes means that the cable passes through 5 pulleys of the traveling block and 5 of the crown block alternately. The number of pulleys required on the crown block is one more than the number to be threaded. This additional pulley is for the dead line that will always be anchored to the base of the substructure. Its function is to provide the support means to suspend the tools. During drilling operations, the Hook: the Swivel Union, the Kelly Bar, or Top Drive + the Drill String and the Bit are suspended. During well cementing operations, it will support the weight of the casing. Although there is only one cable, it gives the impression that there are more, this is because the drilling cable goes up and down so many times between the blocks, this procedure is called Guarning the Block. Once the block has been fully secured, the end of the cable is lowered to the floor of the drill and connected to the winch drum. The part of the cable that exits the winch towards the crown block is called the live line since it moves while the Traveling Block is raised or lowered. The end of the cable running from the corona block to the feed drum is also secured. This part of the cable is known as the dead line, since it does not move. #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices

Heavy equipment operators are crucial members of any construction team. These professionals are skilled in running heavy equipment such as bulldozers, excavators, loaders, and cranes. Using these machines, operators prepare new construction sites by moving earth, preparing it to receive foundation. They also perform other duties such as loading and unloading vehicles and laying pipes for various utilities. However, operators' responsibilities span a much broader spectrum than just daily worksite tasks. Having total mastery over a machine means knowing its ins and outs. As such, heavy equipment operators need to be able to maintain their vehicles, inspecting them before and after every use. Minor repairs may required as needed and detailed reports ensure every machine is kept in working order. Safety Compliance is also paramount. In the state of Connecticut, heavy equipment operators need to have a valid operator license. In addition, some machines might require additional certifications. For example, a Connecticut Hoisting Equipment Operator License is required to operate hoisting equipment such as cranes. Certification and training are handled through the Department of Administrative Services (DAS). #HeavyEquipmentOperators #ConstructionTeam #SafetyCompliance #ConnecticutOperators #ConstructionSafety #SitePreparation

safety tips for Rigging Up/Down a drilling rig : - When determining the direction of setting up the rig, the prevailing wind direction should be considered so that substructure and engines can be set such that engine exhaust is carried away from the rig floor. - Inspect all equipment that is to be used in the rig up operation. Especially inspect all rigging equipment (hoisting line, slings, chains, hooks and cables) before using. If the equipment appears worn or frayed, inform the driller toolpusher (or truck pusher). - While complete guarding is not possible at all times during rigging up/down, keep floor openings covered when not in use. - Handrails around the rig floor should be put up first and taken down last when rigging up/down the rig floor. - Stairs should be placed as soon as possible and taken down as late as possible. Once placed the stairs should be secured against movement. - Be aware of the movement of trucks and other equipment around the rig location. All personnel should be instructed to be aware of the driver’s visual area so that they do not walk into a blind spot when the truck is moving. - When placing a load that is close to another structure, do not get between the load being placed and the set in structure. - Be sure walkways are free of skids and other items that may cause a slip/fall exposure. - Fall protection should be used when workers are over 6 feet from the ground/deck such as while rigging up the derrick or substructure. - Make sure that the lighting is adequate around the rig floor, derrick and work areas around the location (catwalk area, pipe racks, etc.) - When rigging up the derrick, personnel should utilize fall protection and practice 100% tie off. - Tong hanger line sheaves and other sheaves that are in the derrick should be inspected and replaced if necessary while the derrick sections are on the ground. - Inspect the tong hanger cables, mud box and other cables that are located in the derrick before raising the derrick. - Take care when rigging up tongs, etc., on the rig floor. - Once the derrick is raised and pinned, the drawworks cover should be installed on the front of the drawworks. - Organize and clean up the rig floor as soon as possible once it is rigged up.

Field Operations Engineer 🖤💀⚙️ Stuffing Box 🔥 what happened here colleagues? - Let's learn from everyone. .☕ Wireline Stuffing Box is the primary barrier during slickline operations and is used during work on wells with pressure. The Stuffing Box consists of a packing chamber with an external nut or hydraulic chamber. The Stuffing Box provides a swivel bracket and sheave that guide the wireline through the packing chamber. The radius of the Stuffing Box sheave is interchangeable to accept larger sheaves for larger wireline sizes. The packing is energized and forms an effective seal around the wireline and preventing well pressures from escaping. The packing is energized by tightening a nut on a “manual” Stuffing Box or by apply hydraulic pressure to a “Hydraulic” Stuffing Box. The Hydraulic Stuffing Box can be remotely operated and is generally used. The pressure necessary to affect the seal will be variable and is also minimized. Excessive forces can prematurely wear the gland packing or cause the packing to become so tight the wireline cannot be moved. Stuffing boxes contain an integrated plunger (blow out plug or internal BOP) that incorporates passage of the wireline. If the wireline becomes separated and ejected from the well, the integrated plunger is forced up against the bottom of the packing chamber and seals off against well pressure #oilgas #wellservices #professionalexperiences #engineering #ecuador #petroleumengineer #wellintervention #engineer #work #moments #worksafe #workhard #IADC #IWCF #PetroleumServices
