Alerts & Learnings Loading & Unloading - Person Fall From Height A drill pad build crew requested a water cart to come to site and refill a water pod on the back of the crew’s truck tray. When the water cart arrived at site it parked next to the tray truck. The operator of the water cart connected a 50mm hose to the rear of the water cart. The hose was given to one of the pad build crew to insert into the water pod – who then got up onto the back of the crew’s truck tray, between the tailgate and the pod, to hold the hose while it filled the water pod. The water cart operator climbed back into their truck’s cab to operate the tanker Power Take-Off (PTO). Noting that the pad build crew member was holding the hose in place, the water cart operator started up the PTO. The water cart operator noticed that the hose had kicked out and turned off the PTO/water flow. They then went to the back of the water cart to investigate, and noticed the pad build crew worker had fallen approximately 1.2m to the ground. The pad build crew worker sustained fractures to both wrists. To view this Safer Together safety alert in full, click the 'Download Alert' button above.
