Safety Precautions for Operating A Rotary Drilling Rig

The working environment of rotary drilling RIGS is complex and there are many potential risks. Safe operation is the key to ensuring the safety of construction personnel and equipment. The following are the safety precautions to be noted when operating a rotary drilling rig:

1. Comprehensive inspection before operation: Check the hydraulic oil and fuel levels, inspect the wear of the tracks/tires and the braking system to ensure that the equipment is free from faults. At the same time, clear the obstacles in the operation area, confirm that the load-bearing capacity of the foundation meets the standards, and set up a warning area.

2. Strictly adhere to operating procedures: Before starting, ensure that the operating lever is in neutral position. During operation, overloading and pulling the drill pipe at an Angle are strictly prohibited. Unrelated personnel are strictly forbidden to approach the rotation radius of the drilling rig. Operating in violation of regulations can easily lead to mechanical damage or casualties.

3. Pay attention to environmental risks: Keep a safe distance from high-voltage lines. Work is strictly prohibited during thunderstorms and strong winds. When working on soft soil or steep slopes, the machine body should be reinforced to prevent the drilling rig from overturning.

4. Real-time monitoring during drilling: Closely monitor the verticality of the drill pipe and the conditions inside the hole. If the drill pipe gets stuck or makes abnormal noises, stop the machine immediately. Do not force operation. Prevent drill pipe breakage, power head damage or hole wall collapse.

5. Equipment maintenance for safety: Regularly replace the hydraulic oil filter element and lubricate key components to prevent malfunctions caused by component wear. If problems such as oil leakage or abnormal circuits are found, stop the machine in time for maintenance.

6. Personnel protection must be in place: Operators must wear safety helmets and anti-slip shoes. It is strictly forbidden to operate in loose clothing to prevent being caught in the equipment. When getting on or off the drilling rig, hold it firmly to avoid falling.

In conclusion, safety precautions for the operation of rotary drilling RIGS run through the entire operation process, from equipment inspection to environmental assessment, from standardized operation to emergency handling. No link can be ignored. Only by always keeping safety in mind can we effectively avoid risks and ensure the safety and orderliness of construction.
