History and Background

Geo Drilling was started in 2000 by Drilling partners. When the company started, it
employed 5 people, and owned 3 rigs. Over the years, the company has grown and
expanded and currently owns 20 rigs and has over 50 employees in its operations.
Though the company is based in Ajax, ON, Geo crews work all over Ontario. Occasionally we
have crews working in other provinces or even other countries. Geo Drilling primarily
operates in geotechnical drilling, environmental drilling, and diamond drilling (rock
coring/exploration), though our crews will sometimes be hired for other services.

Training Provided
A career working with drilling is challenging and exciting, but it also requires a particular skill
set that includes precision, theoretical knowledge and keen attention to safety and protocol.
Our company focus on these areas while providing new workers with plenty of hands-on
experience so they can confidently start their career in our company with full training.
We trained the new worker from the very basic as it is the policy of our company that all
employees be trained to perform their duties safely in a safe working environment. Each
person goes through a three-day orientation on the training rig before being sent out into
the field, where they will be considered a trainee for about six months.
Also, on the basis of environment drilling we trained a person on samples of soil and
groundwater, how to control or remediate contaminants. Sites such as fuel service stations,
landfills, mining operations, or abandoned infrastructures are examined.

RESPONSIBILITIES:
Every working crew has responsibility to act safe. There are some documentations which
needs to be done every time before operating any machine or working on drilling sit. Those
documents help to work safely and improve safe work practice. It is mandatory for everyone
to follow the safe practice all time. Safety is our first priority.
Additionally, the documents include, check list before operating any equipment, safety data
sheet of any chemical used, Drill Log and PPE needed for job site

JOB SAFETY ANALYSIS

Introduction:
Job-related injuries and fatalities occur every day in
the workplace. These injuries often occur because
employees are not trained in the proper job
procedure. One way to prevent workplace injuries is
to establish proper job procedures and train all
employees in safer and more efficient work
methods. This booklet explains what a job safety
analysis is and contains guidelines for conducting
your own step-by-step analysis.

Conduction Job Safety Analysis:

Before actually beginning the job safety analysis, take a look at the general conditions under
which the job is performed and develop a checklist. Below are some sample questions you
might ask.
 Are there materials on the floor that could trip a worker?
 Is lighting adequate?
 Are there any live electrical hazards at the jobsite?
 Are there any chemical, physical, biological, or radiation hazards associated with the job or
likely to develop?
 Are tools including hand tools, machines, and equipment in need of repair?
 Is there excessive noise in the work area, hindering worker communication or causing
hearing loss?
 Are job procedures known and are they followed or modified?
 Are emergency exits clearly marked?
 Are trucks or motorized vehicles properly equipped with brakes, overhead guards, backup
signals, horns, steering gear, and identification, as necessary?
 Are all employees operating vehicles and equipment properly trained and authorized?
 Are employees wearing proper personal protective equipment for the jobs they are
performing?
 Have any employees complained of headaches, breathing problems, dizziness, or strong
odors?
 Is ventilation adequate, especially in confined or enclosed spaces?
  Have tests been made for oxygen deficiency and toxic fumes in confined spaces before
entry?
 Are work stations and tools designed to prevent back and wrist injuries?
 Are employees trained in the event of a fire, explosion, or toxic gas release?

Identify Hazard:

After you have recorded the job steps, next examine each step to determine the hazards
that exist or that might occur. Ask yourself these kinds of questions.
 Are there hazards that would require the use of personal protective clothing and
equipment that are appropriate for the job?
 Are work positions, machinery, pits or holes, and hazardous operations adequately
guarded?
 Are lockout procedures used for machinery deactivation as required?
 Is the worker wearing clothing or jewelry, or have long hair that could get caught in
the machinery or otherwise cause a hazard?
 Are there fixed objects that may cause injury, such as sharp edges?
 Is the flow of work organized (e.g., Is the worker required to make movements that
are too rapid)?
 Can the worker get caught in or between moving parts?
 Can the worker be injured by reaching over moving machinery parts or materials?
 Is the worker at any time in an off-balance position?
 Is the worker positioned to the machine in a way that is potentially dangerous?
 Is the worker required to make movements that could lead to or cause hand or foot
injuries, or strain from lifting the hazards of repetitive motions?
 Can the worker be struck by an object or lean against or strike a machine part of
object?
 Can the worker fall from one level to another?
 Can the worker be injured from lifting or pulling objects, or from carrying heavy
objects?
 Do environmental hazards (dust, chemicals, radiation, welding rays, heat, or
excessive noise) result from the performance of the job?

Recommending Sage Procedures and Protection

 After you have listed each hazard or potential hazard and have reviewed them with
the employee performing the job, determine whether the job could be performed in
another way to eliminate the hazards, such as combining steps or changing the
sequence, or whether safety equipment and precautions are needed to control the
hazards. An alternative or additional procedure is to video record the worker
performing his or her job and analyse the job procedures.
 If safer and better job steps can be used, list each new step, such as describing a new
method for disposing of material. List exactly what the worker needs to know to
perform the job using a new method. Do not make general statements about the
procedure, such as “Be Careful.” Be as specific as you can in your recommendations.
 You may wish to set up a training program using the job safety analysis to retrain
your employees in the new procedures, especially if they are working with highly
toxic substances or in hazardous situations. (Some OSHA standards require that
formal training programs be established for employees.)
 If no new procedure can be developed, determine whether any physical changes
such as redesigning equipment, changing tools, adding machine guards, personal
protective equipment, or ventilation will eliminate or reduce the danger.
 If hazards are still present, try to reduce the necessity for performing the job or the
frequency of performing it.
 Go over the recommendations with all employees performing the job. Their ideas
about the hazards and proposed recommendations may be valuable. Be sure that
they understand what they are required to do and the reasons for the changes in the
job procedure.

SAFE WORK PRACTICE

 COMPRESSED AIR
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT REQUIRED

Safety glasses, goggles or full-face shield depending on the task being performed.

INTRODUCTION

Air powered tools are commonly used in maintenance of construction equipment.

Compressed air is also used for inflating tires, in cleaning and spray painting and on
heavy truck brake systems. If not used safely, compressed air can cause injuries.

PRACTICES

1. Compressed air must not be used to blow debris or to clear dirt from any
worker’s clothes.
2. Ensure that the air pressure has been turned off and the line pressure
relieved before disconnecting the hose or changing tools.
3. All hose connectors must be of the quick disconnect pressure release type
with a safety cable that tethers the ends of hoses to prevent whipping if
accidently disconnected.
4. Wear personal protective equipment such as eye protection and face
shields. Restrict access to the area or ensure other workers in the area are
aware of hazards.
5. Hoses must be checked on a regular basis for cuts, bulges, or other
damage. Ensure that defective hoses are repaired or replaced. Ensure
when purchasing new hose, it is the proper rating.
6. A proper pressure regulator and relief device must be in the system to
ensure that correct pressures are maintained.
7. The proper air supply hoses must be used for the tool/equipment being used.
8. The equipment must be properly maintained according to the manufacturer’s
requirements.
