Drilling Site Safety Inspection Checklist

Use this drilling site safety inspection checklist to guide field inspections every two months at active drilling sites. It covers preparation steps such as reviewing the HSE-004 Drilling Safety Program, completing required training, wearing required PPE, and bringing the HSE-004 Appendix B Drilling Hazard Assessment for field validation. The checklist verifies utility clearance documentation, 35 feet power line clearance, traffic control near public roadways, and completion of a tailgate safety meeting with emergency contacts. It assesses safe storage of materials, availability of first aid, AED, fire extinguisher and spill kit, tool condition, establishment of exclusion and immediate danger zones, supplies for proper abandonment and disposal of spoils, equipment condition, and rig emergency stops. Includes signatures for manager, lead driller, and crew.
