  • This modified checklist is a product of the Occupational Safety & Health Administration, Baton Rouge Area Office, in conjunction with the OSHA Region 6 Regional Emphasis Program (REP or LEP) for the Oil & Gas Industry

  • The checklist combines the applicable requirements of 29 CFR 1910, American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practice 54 (API RP54), other more specific American Petroleum Institute Recommended Practices, and the current and previous checklists for drilling and well servicing rigs generated by the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC) and the Association of Energy Service Companies (AESC)

  • This checklist is not all inclusive but is intended to provide a clear and consistent inspection approach for inspecting land drilling rigs during REP/LEP inspections conducted by an Operator, Contractor or OSHA Representative, but may also be used for Complaint & Fatality Investigations. The overall goal of the checklist is to assure that all employees working at Oil & Gas sites are provided a safe and healthy work environment in an extremely dangerous industry

  • This checklist shall be updated, as required, to keep up with advances in technology, changes in the industry and general updates to the contents of the checklist. Therefore, OSHA requests that all interested parties submit suggestions and recommendations to improve this checklist at any time to the Baton Rouge Area Office of OSHA, 9100 Bluebonnet Centre, Suite 201, Baton Rouge LA 70809
