2010-10-04 Alert-Drill Pipe PDF

The document summarizes a dropped drill pipe incident that occurred on October 4th on the Sahara-1 rig. Key lessons highlighted include that if an unsafe act is observed, one must intervene, and that supervisors need to increase visibility and coaching. The specific incident involved breaking the drill pipe connection to the top drive first as a shortcut, which was an unsafe act that no one intervened in. Additionally, the crew forgot to latch the elevator and cover the rotary table, causing the drill pipe joint to fall down the tube guide when the crossover connections were being rotated.
