Safety On The Rig: Smashed Finger On Tongs Taufik Akbar Lubis

An individual smashed their finger while helping remove a tong from a drill string during tripping operations. The iron roughneck, which normally performs this operation, was out of service. Additionally, a job hazard analysis was not performed because tripping was considered routine. Corrective actions include keeping spare parts for the iron roughneck, performing a job safety analysis for all tripping operations, and ensuring all equipment is only touched where there are green handles as per safety standards.
