Drilling and Well Site Safety

Awareness training for floorhands, derrickhands, assistant drillers, rig mechanics and electricians, service company crews and new supervisors on land drilling rigs. It follows the well site from site preparation and rig-up to rig release, and covers the rig floor, the derrick, mud pumps and pits, pipe racks, well control awareness for the whole crew, gas and ignition control, weather, tour inspections and emergencies. It is not an accredited certificate such as IADC RigPass and does not replace a rig-specific orientation.
