Training Guide for Rotary Drilling Rig Operators: Full Process from Theoretical Foundation to Practical Application

    The operation of rotary drilling rigs is highly specialized and carries high safety risks. Operators need to undergo systematic training to achieve both theoretical knowledge and practical skills, in order to ensure construction safety, efficiency, and quality. This guide outlines the key points of the entire training process from theory to practice, balancing standardization and practicality, and adapting to the needs of novice beginners and skill enhancement training.

1、 Theoretical training: Building a solid foundation in safety and professionalism

    Theoretical training is the core of introductory operation, focusing on safety regulations and equipment basics to avoid the risk of "blind operation". The core content includes: equipment core structure, focusing on the functions and common fault manifestations of key components such as drill rods, chassis, and hydraulic systems; Safety operating procedures, clearly prohibiting violations of operating terms, such as prohibiting personnel from approaching drill rods during drilling and emergency response procedures for equipment tilting; Geological adaptation knowledge, simple explanation of drill bit selection and drilling parameter adjustment logic corresponding to different soil layers and rock formations; Legal regulations and awareness of responsibilities, clarifying the job responsibilities of operators and the safety consequences and legal liabilities of illegal operations. Theoretical training needs to be accompanied by assessments to ensure that operators fully understand the core points before entering the practical stage.

2、 Practical training: from basic operations to skill advancement

    The practical training adopts a "step-by-step" mode, combining simulation exercises with on-site practical operations, balancing proficiency and standardization. The first step of basic operation training focuses on basic movements such as equipment start-up and shutdown, drill pipe extension and rotation, and machine body movement and positioning. The emphasis is on training the accuracy of operations to avoid excessive movement amplitude that may cause equipment shaking; The second step is specialized homework training, which focuses on core construction processes such as drilling, excavation, and hole cleaning, and drills operational skills under different working conditions, such as drilling speed control during deep drilling and anti collapse hole operation during soft soil layer construction; The third step of emergency response training is to simulate common unexpected situations such as equipment jamming, hydraulic failure, and body tilting, and train operators in quick response and standardized handling abilities to prevent panic operations from exacerbating risks. A dedicated person should be arranged to guide and correct non-standard actions in real time during the practical operation process.

3、 Assessment and subsequent improvement: closed-loop guarantee of operational compliance

    After the training, a dual dimensional assessment of "theory+practical operation" is required. The theoretical assessment focuses on safety regulations and equipment knowledge, while the practical assessment focuses on operational standardization, construction efficiency, and emergency response capabilities. Those who fail the assessment need to be retrained until they meet the standards before they can start working. After taking up the post, it is necessary to establish a regular improvement mechanism, regularly conduct skill review and new regulation training, optimize operation skills based on new equipment and complex working conditions, strengthen safety warning education, regularly investigate operational hazards, continuously improve the professional ability and safety awareness of operators, and ensure the safety and controllability of the entire pile foundation construction process.
