Description:On July 20, 1992, while working on an ocean based jack-up barge, a 47 year old marine rockdrilling shift foreman died in a fall of approximately thirty-one feet when a two hundred and six foot casing that supported the surface on which he and two co-workers were situated, unexpectedly resettled in soft ocean bed sediment before coming to rest. Although the three men were propelled from their positions as a result of the drop, the co-workers survived their ordeal while the victim died of more serious injuries the following day. The Massachusetts FACE Investigator concluded that to prevent similar occurrences in the future, employers should: 1. Ensure that hazardous exposures which may arise from any portion of an operation be fully evaluated prior to project phase engagement. 2. Establish effective employee safety methods and work practices.
