How Can Accidents Be Avoided During The Lifting And Lowering Process of Rotary Drilling RIGS

The lifting operation of rotary drilling RIGS involves mechanical linkage and gravity balance, which is a link prone to accidents. Standardizing operation procedures and doing a good job in risk prevention and control can reduce potential safety hazards from the source.

1.Before starting work, inspect the equipment: It is necessary to focus on checking the degree of wear of the steel wire rope, the pressure of the hydraulic system and the sensitivity of the braking device. If problems such as broken wires, oil leakage or brake failure are found, stop the machine immediately for maintenance. It is strictly forbidden to operate with faults.

2. Clear the operation area: Remove obstacles within the lifting range, set up warning fences, and strictly prohibit irrelevant personnel from approaching. Ensure the ground is solid and level to prevent equipment from tilting due to site collapse.

3. Control the lifting speed: Maintain a uniform speed during the lifting process and avoid sudden rises and falls. Especially under heavy load conditions, excessive speed can easily cause steel wire rope breakage or overload of structural components.

4. Pay attention to weather and environment: In case of severe weather such as heavy rain or strong wind (wind speed exceeding 10.8m/s), stop the lifting operation. When working at night, it is necessary to ensure adequate lighting to avoid collisions caused by blind spots.

5. Standardize operation gestures and signals: Drivers need to cooperate with ground command personnel and communicate using standard gestures or walkie-talkies. Stop the operation immediately when the signal is unclear. Confirm the instruction before taking action.

6. Regularly maintain key components: Inspect the mast connecting bolts, guide wheels and hydraulic cylinders every week, and add lubricating oil as required. Wear parts should be replaced in time to ensure that mechanical transmission is free from jamming.

The safety of the lifting and lowering of rotary drilling RIGS must run through the entire process of "inspection - operation - maintenance", from equipment status, environmental control to personnel cooperation, no link can be relaxed. Strictly adhering to the norms can minimize the risk of accidents to the greatest extent and ensure the smooth progress of construction.
