Inspection Book

The Inspection Book is a web application with the purpose of setting up maintenance procedures for the periodic rig inspection of potential Dropped Objects. An Independent Dropped Objects Survey is conducted onboard initially to identify equipment and items mounted in the derrick, cranes or other areas at height that have the potential of becoming DROPS hazards. The intention is to consolidate a list of inspection criteria for common items or “Equipment Families” found on a rig such as flood-lights, sheaves, safety gates and so forth. Each piece of equipment or item will then have specific instructions on how that piece of equipment is to be inspected by the rig crews.

The Inspection Book provides the end user with a systematic approach to Preventive Dropped Objects Inspections which consist of the following:

• Description and Inspection frequency of the Area to be inspected
• Photograph of the item to be inspected
• A unique identification number to be used in conjunction with the rig Maintenance System
• Description and location of the item to be inspected
• Primary and Secondary retaining methods
• Inspection procedure
• Condition Pass/Fail
• Comments section

The Inspection Book is set out in easy to follow steps that provide rig personnel with simple and straight forward instructions on how to inspect the rig for potential Dropped Objects. The end user will be able to identify conditions such as correct Primary and Secondary fastening methods and the condition of the equipment due to damage or deterioration. The Inspection frequency control is set for each item in weekly, monthly, quarterly and so forth to ensure a regular routine check for potential Dropped Objects.

The Inspection Books are grouped by Areas and colour coded accordingly for easier identification. Each respective Inspection Book can be printed, plasticized and kept at the specific area for use by the rig crew.
